The woman who is accusing businessman Hamilton Ndlovu of assault is not his live-in
lover and the mother of his three children Felicia Sekete as widely speculated.
Sunday World can exclusively reveal that victim is the baby mama of a well known Mamelodi Sundowns player.
News that Sekete was not the at centre of Ndlovu’s domestic violence storm came to the fore after allegations that he gave the victim an ultimatum to drop the charges against him and threatened to release a sex tape of an orgy involving them and the wife of one of the International Pentecost Christian Church leaders if she did not comply with his demand.
Sekete, 35, became known as Ndlovu’s live-in lover when she was arrested by the Hawks and appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court together with National Health laboratories Services (NHLS) chief financial officer Michael Sass for their alleged involvement in controversial R14.4-million PPE tender corruption.
The two are out on R20 000 bail.
The two are facing charges of the Contravention of the bhvPublic Finance Management Act, fraud, and theft.
News24 reported that in her bail application, Sekete told the court that she is a mother of three young children and resides with Ndlovu at the expensive Steyn City estate. She told the court that she was unemployed and a director of embattled Feliham Pty Ltd, an
entity that was a co-accused in the case.
The company allegedly received a PPE tender worth R14.4-million in July 2020 from the NHLS against a background of it being blacklisted by National Treasury from doing business with the state.
It is alleged that Sass went against the NHLS and granted Feliham the tender.
The tender raised eyebrows after the NHLS board revisited Covid-19 related procurement.
Feliham is among many companies linked to Ndlovu that have been prohibited from doing business with NHLS.
When news broke that Ndlovu was arrested for gender-based violence, speculation was rife that Sekete was behind the PPE tycoon’s woes. But an investigation by Sunday World revealed that the victim was the baby mama of a Sundowns defender, who is known to Sunday World, whose identity cannot be revealed to protect the identity of the victim.
This was corroborated by a truncated police statement seen by Sunday World.
In the same statement, the victim said Ndlovu and his brother Dorn Ndlovu were watching soccer. After his brother left, he asked her to hand her cellphone over to him. After handing it over, he started going through it, and while doing so, he discovered her conversations with his friend Sakhile.
He also saw a Cash Send deposit of R10 000 into her account.
“So, that’s when he started assaulting her for communicating with his friend and [for receiving] R10 000. He beat her with hands and threw her [on the floor].
She suffered injuries to her left side of the face, her left eye, neck, upper jaw, left shoulder and [feels ] pain in multiple places of her body. She manage to flee, took her car and went to her place,” the statement read.
