However, as reported by The South African website, Jantjies’ statement on the matter didn’t impress – or persuade – readers that he was in any way innocent.

In his statement, Jantjies said “I deeply regret my actions” and admitted “I did not do the Springbok jersey proud”.

According to a Rapport source, Iva wrote a letter to Urayasu D-Rocks pleading that her husband’s contract not be terminated immediately.

“The club is gatvol of him. They are going to keep him until December – when the school year comes to an end – and then the Jantjies have to pack their bags,” said Rapport’s source.

“The club is only keeping him because they feel sorry for Iva and the children.”

While Iva didn’t speak to Rapport on Saturday because she “is no longer allowed to talk to the media”, she was asked earlier by the newspaper if she believed her husband when he denied the allegations of the affair.

“110% no. He does not deny that he was at the guest houses, but says he was there alone. How do you blow R26,000 on yourself?” she questioned.
