Nthabeleng Khawe, the estranged wife of Gauteng ANC secretary Jacob Khawe, claims that he assaulted her physically, mentally, and financially.
Nthabeleng Khawe, who filed for divorce from Jacob Khawe, alleged that her estranged husband assaulted her by using her as a punching bag. According to Sunday World, she said she was allegedly raped four times at their marital home in Featherbrooke Estate, Johannesburg.
The magazine has seen images of a battered Nthabeleng but is unable to establish whether or not the damage was caused by Jacob.
“Jacob threw four punches at me, and I was hurt. The brawls became increasingly heated and brutal. After the first time he hit me, I told him he should never do it again. My only regret is that I did not file assault charges against him. I’m aware that women are taught to withstand suffering and seem as though everything is fine. “However, at my age in 2022, I will not allow anyone to beat me up,” she told the tabloid.
The pair began dating in 2019 and officially tied the knot in December 2020. She seemed to think he was cheating on her as well.
“Everything he said and did [meant]was to break me down. It was obvious that he was cheating. Where do you go every day as a husband returning home at 5am the following day? I have filed for divorce and have moved on. I was mentally, physically and financially abused. He hardly ever contributed to the household, and I was sympathetic because he doesn’t get paid regularly,” she continued.
She went on to say that all she wanted was to be loved but she is not sure if he was ever really in love.
“All I wanted was to love and be loved; nothing else was important to me.” “I’m not sure whether he was ever truly in love because we had a strange power struggle on and off for reasons I didn’t understand,” she continued.
She also claimed that their fight started when she refused to marry Jacob in community of property.

Jacob suffered because I refused to marry him in community property. After working for almost 20 years without him, it didn’t make sense to marry someone in community of property. He vanished for six weeks four weeks after the spectacular wedding because I was tired of his early morning arrivals. “Like, who works until 3 a.m. every day?” she said.
