Somizi Mhlongo, a media personality, announced on Thursday 9 March that he had withdrawn his divorce summons against actor Mohale Motaung after an expert advised that the pair were never married in the first place — via an Instagram post.
Here’s an example of what Mohale could have gotten for half off if the couple had been legally married in community of property and then divorced.
SOMIZI WITHDRAWS DIVORCE SUMMONS
Tshisa Live reports that Somizi Mhlongo has withdrawn his divorce summons against Mohale. This comes after Mohale denied entering into a “valid customary [marriage] on September 28 2019,” as per legal documents seen by the publication.
Somizi initially sent the 28-year-old divorce summons. The summons reportedly noted that they were married in community of property under customary law.
The publication reports that Somizi’s legal representatives revealed not all the customs were complied with — after obtaining an expert opinion. This means despite having a public wedding, which was streamed as a Showmax special, the pair were never married in the eyes of the law.
So, the marriage was non-existent. Therefore, Somizi – who instituted the divorce proceedings has to pay Mohale’s legal fees. This is common.
So, this also means that Mohale is no longer entitled to 50% of the media personality’s estate. However, here’s a look at what the 28-year-old could have been entitled to.
SOMIZI’S NET WORTH
The media personality is a jack of all trades. He is an actor, singer, dancer, author, chef, brand ambassador, television presenter and more. Dipping his talents into various streams helped him amass a net worth of $5 million (R92 million) according to Celebrity Net Worth.
THE MEDIA PERSONALITY’S HOUSES
Somizi has a total of five houses across four provinces in South Africa in the following areas,
- Golf estate, Dainfern in Gauteng
- Fourways, Gauteng
- Soweto, Gauteng
- Parys, Free State
- Zimbali Coastal Resort & Estate – KwaZulu-Natal
The media personality does not generally location tags the pictures of his homes therefore it is hard to tell which ones belong to which provinces. However, he is a look inside his luxury homes.
