Legal Action and Police Summons
Pearl Mbewe reportedly filed charges against Sello Maake kaNcube at the Roodepoort Police Station last week. The case was subsequently transferred to Orlando Police Station, where both parties were summoned on Friday. Mbewe, accompanied by her lawyer, provided additional information to law enforcement.
Social Media Reactions
This has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.
Reports of Divorce and Property Disputes
This legal battle coincides with ongoing divorce proceedings between the couple, which began surfacing in March. Mbewe seeks the sale of their co-owned Blue Valley property and ownership of one of their vehicles.
In October, Pearl Mbewe approached the same legal firm Maake kaNcube had initially consulted, requesting a swift resolution and a return to her maiden name.
Abuse Allegations Add Complexity
The marriage has also been clouded by allegations of abuse. Mbewe claims to bear a permanent scar from an incident in Makhanda, where she alleges Maake kaNcube injured her during a confrontation. However, Maake kaNcube denies the claims, attributing her injuries to self-inflicted actions while intoxicated.
In his defense, Maake kaNcube shared images of a hand injury he sustained, alleging that Mbewe bit him during a dispute over car keys.
“The car she drives is in my name. I was trying to take my keys back when she attacked me,” he stated.
