Zakes Bantwini has revealed that he and his wife Nandi Madida mistakenly signed an incorrect marriage contract.
The power couple is ready to dissolve their marriage contract “in community of property.”
Four years after they were married, Zakes Bantwini revealed that he and his wife, the singer Madida, had signed an incorrect marriage contract. Now the couple is asking the court to help them modify the terms of their marriage contract.
Bantwini wants their marriage to become “in community of property” to “out of community of property.”
According to Sunday World, the award-winning musician filed a court order requesting that his wife be removed from their joint property of 5 million rand. The couple own property, including a 3.5 million rand mansion in Durban and a 1.5 million rand house in Joburg.
Bantwini alleged that his marriage contract with the “Black is King” star was due to a “misunderstanding with the marriage officer”, so they are appealing to the court to rectify the error.
“And as a result of a misunderstanding between us and the marriage officer, who conducted the marriage ceremony, we misunderstood, since it now appears that he would be in a position to ensure that our marriage would be outside the community of property without the request of the system of accumulation, ”read Zakes Bantwini’s affidavit seen by the Sunday post.
Madida is allegedly not questioning the actions taken by Bantwini. She signed an affidavit, stating her agreement to dissolve her marriage “in the community of property.”
The couple married in 2016 and they have two children, Shaka and Nefertiti.
Fun fact: In terms of South African law, if you do not correctly execute an antenuptial contract before marriage, by default you are married in community of property.
Although by law you are not allowed to execute an antenuptial contract after marriage, the good news is that it is possible to change your matrimonial property regime from community property to non-community property by registering a post-nuptial contract under article 21 (1) of the Marital Property Act with the permission of the Superior Court.
