TOKYO Sexwale’s divorce got a whole lot messier when the lawyer of his estranged wife, Judy, accused the Minister of Human Settlements of attempting to blackmail her with allegations of using hardcore pornography.
Divorce lawyer Beverley Clark said Judy Sexwale “now had no choice” but to bring an urgent application for an interdict against her husband.
Sexwale, who is locked in a bitter divorce from his wife of 20 years, is alleged to have phoned a family friend of Judy accusing her and a former security guard of using hardcore pornography.
On Friday, Sexwale is said to have repeated the story to a second family friend – this time showing him “evidence” he claimed to have found in e-mails.
In a statement, Clark said: “As such, Mr Sexwale has left Mrs Sexwale, to her deep regret, with no choice but to approach the court for an urgent interdict to stop the further dissemination of this material and any further allegations that she has been involved in such activities.”
According to the statement, Sexwale had threatened to release “evidence” because “he has been pushed too far” by Judy Sexwale.
Clark says in her statement that Sexwale told the family friend the Sunday Times had “attacked” him last weekend and that he had been “pushed too far”.
He apparently blamed his wife for the articles. “In my and Mrs Sexwale’s view, and consistent with past conduct, Mr Sexwale is trying to blackmail Mrs Sexwale and to pressurise her to back down in the divorce proceedings.
“Mr Sexwale apparently wants his wife to relinquish her patrimonial claims and to stop any further scrutiny of the two trusts in which all the parties’ assets are housed,” Clark’s statement reads.
The lawyer said Judy Sexwale had never been involved in creating or disseminating pornography of any sort.
She wrote to Sexwale’s lawyer, Billy Gundelfinger, on Thursday , requesting copies of the offensive material, that their appointed forensic IT expert be given access to all computers linked to Sexwale family computer server or office server and that they confirm in writing that Sexwale would not further disseminate or attempt to publish any of the allegations or evidence.
