A wealthy Gauteng businessman, who offered to pay his wife and minor child R2,000 in maintenance until they get divorced, has been ordered by the Johannesburg high court to instead cough up more than R70,000 a month.

On one occasion he allegedly pointed a firearm at their child. She reported this to the police, but the docket went “missing”. The husband also allegedly threatened to kill her and set her alight.In November last year the mother fled the home as she feared for her safety when, she said, her husband attempted to assault her. She took only a few things with her, left her daughter behind and took refuge at the home of a relative.

According to evidence, the father has several income streams. He earns R40,000 from his employer, he is a spiritual guide — which is described as a lucrative practice — earns additional income working with stockbrokers, owns a working farm in Egypt and receives rental income from property he lets out there.

The court heard that the husband was a “regular gambler”, spending most weekends at the Gold Reef City casino. His wife and children used to accompany him and he would hand over R5,000 in cash for their entertainment. The court noted that in correspondence between their lawyers, the husband acknowledged that “in light of the temperamental and volatile nature of the relationship between the parties, it would not be advisable for the parties to reside at the property together”.
