The Durban Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday heard that the mother and her lover would face charges of fraud and defeating the ends of justice. An earlier charge of kidnapping was withdrawn.
Her lawyer‚ Mfanafuthi Biyela‚ said her husband would post her R1 000 bail.
The married couple walked out of court together soon after he posted bail. In his hand was a plastic bag with his wife’s belongings.
The mother still had a scarf covering her face from chasing photographers. Her husband and relatives whisked her away in a Toyota Corolla.
Outside court 10‚ where the matter was heard‚ neither Biyela nor the husband would comment on the paternity of one-month-old Siwaphiwe.
Before walking away‚ an angry the husband said‚ “I have nothing to say. This is my family we’re talking about.”
The boyfriend’s family‚ who were also approached outside court following the decision‚ said: “We are not talking.”
