JUDITH Masalela (46) says she can’t sleep at night . . . because her ancestors won’t leave her alone.
“They keep on sneaking into my bed, grabbing me by my pyjamas and demanding that I divorce my husband,” she claimed.
“The ancestors ask me why am I still using my husband’s surname.
“They sometimes klap me.”
Judith said her ancestors were angry because her husband left her with two kids in their rented house in Olievenhoutbosch, Midrand, Gauteng.
“I have tried to do rituals and burn impepho, and to explain to them that it’s not my fault that the divorce process has been delayed,” she told Daily Sun.
Judith said she got married to her husband, Richard Masalela (52) in 2005 but in 2012, he got a job as a security guard and a year later, moved out of the house.
“I heard that he has a girlfriend.
“Why can’t he just take his surname back and get out of my life?”
Judith showed Daily Sun the copy of a receipt from the Kempton Park Magistrates Court, which she paid to have her husband summonsed to appear in court to get a divorce.
But the sheriff of the court has not been able to get Richard to come to court.
Judith said she has a boyfriend whom she wanted to marry.
Richard admitted Judith was his wife. “Whatever she told you is the truth,” Richard told the People’s Paper.
