Somizi Mhlongo withdraws divorce case against Mohale Motaung

"Both Mohale and I were initially in agreement that we entered into a valid customary marriage. It is indeed Mohale, who in the first correspondence between us stated that a valid customary marriage was entered into and that we were married in community of property. I issued a summons for divorce, as this is the only manner in which a marriage can be legally dissolved in accordance with South African law.

However, he states that Mohale later disputed the fact that they were ever married. This led to Somizi withdrawing the divorce case. "The decision to withdraw the divorce action comes after we were unable to reach an agreement regarding the existence of the marriage. We had initially agreed that a marriage existed, but Mohale later claimed that no valid marriage had taken place," read the statement."Although I received legal advice suggesting that Mohale's disavowal of our marriage may have warranted an exception to the usual rule of the withdrawal party paying legal costs, I opted to cover the costs.

Hawu!
