A year ago, Springboks player Elton Jantjies and team dietician Zeenat Simjee made headlines over their alleged illicit affair.

The duo were reportedly spotted together at a guesthouse in Mbombela.

However, the rugby player is making ammends for his actions after praising his wife, Iva Ristic, and their family of five.

As previously reported by The South African, Elton was released from the Springboks squad with his Rugby World Cup dreams ending before they even began.

Despite his alleged affair with Zeenat Simjee making headlines, Elton and Iva have remained close. They often feature on each other’s social media accounts.

The couple – who wed in 2019 and share three sons – have shared posts from their travels together. Iva – a model and DJ – is based in Alanya, Turkey, while Elton resides in France, where he plays for team Agen.

It’s unclear if the couple are just co-parenting or are giving their relationship another go.

DIVORCE STILL ON THE CARDS?
In December, Iva Ristic told The South African that the couple would finalise their divorce after the festive season.

And despite their marriage breakdown playing out in the public eye, Iva shared that she and Elton were on “great terms” – as friends and co-parents.

Iva said at the time: “Elton is doing really well. We are on great terms though we talk every day. I am still his biggest supporter, and he is mine.

“I am honestly proud of us for managing to keep the friendship going.”

She added: “Yes, [we are] going formalize our divorce very soon. It’s been a chaotic period for both of us moving countries, but after the holidays will definitely focus more on that.

2022: TIMELINE OF ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH ZEENAT SIMJEE
Here is a quick recap of Elton Jantjies’s alleged scandal with Springboks Zeenat Simjee last year.

In August, Elton and Zeenat made headlines after an eyewitness spotted them at a guesthouse in Mbombela. The duo were accused of having a romantic relationship after being spotted together amid the Springboks’ Rugby Championship match against the All Blacks.
A month later, both Elton and Zeenat denied the affair in separate statements.
In October, Zeenat returned to the Springboks squad, but Elton was left off, reportedly due to an injury. That same month, the flyhalf checks into rehab over his injury and addiction to sleeping pills.
In November, Zeenat claimed that a woman who looked strikingly similar to her was at the centre of a love triangle with the athlete.
Elton then made a U-turn and confessed, claiming that the affair did happen. He also shut down Zeenat’s claims that he had an affair with her “lookalike.”
According to wife Iva Ristic, the “affair” began the year she wed Elton in 2019. She also claims Zeenat “blocked” her when she confronted her over the allegations.
Late in the year, Iva and her three children relocated from Japan to Turkey after Elton left his club, NTT DoCoMo Red Hurricanes to join Agen.

Now, some people do not really advocate for cancel culture and this is because they have seen how it has given people so much power over public figures.

Sisters and fellow singers, Kelly and Zandile Khumalo are at the centre of this cancel culture discussion that is currently happening.

There are people on social media who are calling for their cancellation and you could say that this is getting out of control at this point.

 

 

 

 

 

It is very likely that event organisers are aware of what is going on and they are going to adjust to what people want because they have to look out for their respective brands.

They get to call the shots, but people are the ones who support them and the decisions that are made are based on what the people want.

You could say that it is unfortunate that Kelly and Zandile are in the position they are in. However, there are also people who think that this should have happened a while back and this goes to show that they have been waiting for all of this to happen.

Since the start of the week, people have been talking about Kelly and she is the one who is being dragged a lot on social media.

It even got to a point where she responded to some of the hate comments from people, it seems like she had enough.

So, the attention is mostly on Kelly and Zandile only got into this when she realised that there was someone on Twitter/X who said that MultiChoice should stop showing the sisters on TV.

The person went on to say that there has to be a petition that is signed to get this done. Zandile reacted to this, her response was on Instagram and she basically mentioned that she does not care at all about what people are saying.

The singer mentioned that she decided to make music because she had passion for it and she would still make music even if she was not getting paid.

This obviously says a lot of about how this entire thing has affected the Khumalo sisters, it seems like they have acknowledged that they might not get booked by certain organisers.

And the singer’s message was quite clear, she mentioned that people can do their worst. What do you think about this? Please share your thoughts and go to
