A 56-year-old mother of five girls was left heartbroken when her
husband suddenly abandoned her after 30 years of marriage, because she
had not given him a son to continue his family name.
Thembeni Khuboni from KwaMancinza in KZN South Africa, said her husband, Simon, started acting strangely early last year.
She soon discovered that he was having an affair with a young lady working in his office.
“When I asked him why he did it, he just left our home. I heard that
he was living with the girl in Phoenix, Durban. I tried calling him but
he wouldn’t answer the phone,” she said.
Thembeni said in the middle of 2018, Simon told her he wanted her to give him a son.
“I told him I couldn’t. I have five daughters with him and he was
happy before. Now suddenly he wants a son. I told him I can’t do that,”
she told Daily Sun ZA
According to Thembeni,after she told her husband she didn’t want a
6th child, he left the house but not before telling her he would find a
woman who could give him a son.
“In September, he came home with a photo of a baby he had with his nyatsi. Unfortunately, the baby is also a girl,” she said.
When the Sun contacted him, Simon said he was not the first man to want a son to continue his line.
