A was heartbroken when her husband suddenly left her after 30 years of marriage. She disclosed that her husband left her because she had not given him a son to continue his family name.
56-year-old Thembeni Khuboni from KwaMancinza in KZN, South Africa said her husband, Simon, started acting strangely at the beginning of last year. She soon found out that he was having an affair with a young girl 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 last year, Simon came and 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 said.
Thembeni said then he left and told 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 lover. Unfortunately, the baby is also a girl,” she said.
When the SunTeam contacted him, Simon said he was not the first man to want a son to continue his line.
