Dear Ayanda and Peter, We Need to Talk About GBV

By

Over on Twitter there is a shock, gasp, horror conversation going on about Ayanda Thabethe and her married boyfriend, Peter Matsimbe, flaunting their relationship for the world to see. One video shows the two celebrating his birthday in Dubai.

It is also claimed that Peter Masimbe is Thabethe’s ‘Baby Daddy’.

This circumstance now shines a big fat light on the abslutely infuriating thing about this very public affair – infidelity, broken promises and the abuse being perpetrated by Matsimbe and Thabethe on Matsimbe’s wife! The man is still sporting a wedding ring and carrying on like a bull in heat. Not too mention that one look at the couple and you would agree that they are only together as a result of one sided physical attraction plus access to the ‘high life’ on the other side.

What Matsimbe is doing is abusing his wife , children and wider family with his public affair – things cannot go well after this.

One day we need to get back to the following moral code:

  1. If the object of your desire has a ring on his/her finger then they are out of bounds until the contract is broken and the ring is off the finger.
  2. If you as a male or female are unwittingly drawn into an affair with promises like; “My marriage is over, we are in the process of getting divorced” or one of the other myriad excuses by the desperate then REFER to NUMBER ONE ABOVE for guidance.
  3. If you are sleeping or having an affair with a married person then do the right thing and let that person’s partner know.
  4. If you are considering embarking on an affair then get the divorce first.
  5. If you are divorcing because of your affair or desire to have an affair then do the right thing and DO NOT try to further abuse your former partner by ‘taking them to the cleaners’ in divorce court.
  6. Remember at all times that your affair is plain and simple ABUSE – abuse of a trust relationship, abuse of time, abuse of a covenant and mental abuse of your partner.

In the case of Thabhethe and Matsimbe they are both perpetrating a form of Gender Based Violence on Matsimbe’s wife – shame on you both – the wife should lay a GBV Charge against them both at her nearest police station!

Besides Peter dating everybody he is married to Shannen Thring and they have two children together. It is said Shannen moved out of their marital home after Ayanda gave birth.

Go On – Share the Gqeberha Love!
