Award-winning musician Zakes Bantwini and actress Nandi Madida are dissolving their marriage contract. After four years of marriage, the pair have recently discovered they entered into the wrong contract and are seeking to rectify the mistake.
The couple mistakenly married in community of property, which means their estates are joined together. The power couple now plan to dissolve their marriage contract to enter into a new one out of community of property to protect their individual assets.
Sunday World reported that Bantwini has already filed a court order to remove his wife from their joint estates, which is worth millions.
“And as a result of a misunderstanding between ourselves and the marriage officer, who conducted the marriage ceremony, we understood incorrectly as it now appears that he would be in a position to ensure that our marriage would be out of community of property without the application of the accrual system,” read the affidavit.
“At all material times, it was the intention of the second applicant and myself to be married out of community of property without application of the accrual system.”
