“I am a wife, we have cars. I was in a car accident about three weeks ago in the other car I drive, so I am driving the other Mercedes-Benz. I know as a wife I’ve got rights and I haven’t received any summons or anything to return the car. I’m not sure why such things are going to the papers. My phone is always on,” Samuels explained.

She continued: “The Samuels family has met and my elders have been reaching out to Morake’s. Those are the protocols that need to happen. The families have not met, so I am still home. I stayed a bit just to wait until the date has been taken out by my elders and uncles to the Morake family. It seems there is resistance from the Morake family to meet my uncles.”
The businesswoman, who is at her mother’s house in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), said she had no intention of ending her marriage.
“My family has made it clear that they are here to build a family, not to destroy it. I am still a wife and I did not get married to be divorced. The first thing my family asked was what I wanted to do besides the noise out there and I said I am here to stay in my marriage and to build my marriage. Marriages have different problems depending on who you’re married [to] and I’m here to fight for my marriage.
“I am not here to dissolve my marriage. That’s where I stand. I haven’t received summons and also, receiving summons doesn’t mean there will be a divorce.”
