MBABANE – Public Service Pension Fund (PSPF) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Cleopas Sipho Dlamini is accusing his wife of, among other things, having practised her religious beliefs obsessively and intolerably.

Dlamini has since instituted divorce proceedings against his wife Cynthia Mphoe Dlamini (born Simelane).
The couple had been married for 36 years.
He further alleged that his wife always left home for the whole of Saturday and Sunday and allegedly neglected to care for their children.
“She has on annual basis left our matrimonial home on pilgrimage to Israel notwithstanding the express refusal of the plaintiff,” reads part of the CEO’s particulars of claim.
The wife is the director of Kusile Enterprise trading as Kusile Christian Bookshop, situated at Dabebe Street in Mbabane.

According to Dlamini (CEO), they got married on December 17, 1981 and the properiatary consequences of their marriage were governed by Swazi Law and Custom in terms of Section 24 of the Marriage Act No.47/1964.
He informed the court that there were two children born out of their marriage. The eldest was born on June 9, 1986 while the young one was born on November 11, 1996.
These are allegations contained in particulars of claim filed by the CEO’s lawyers whose veracity is still to be tested in court.

“Since about the year 2000 and by virtue of the defendant’s (wife) conduct, the defendant has rendered co-habitation between the parties intolerable and she conducted herself in such a manner with the malicious intention of terminating the marriage,” contended the CEO.

He alleged that since 2002, his wife had refused him conjugal rights and had allegedly refused to share the same room with him. Dlamini also claimed that the wife had consistently been rude to his relatives causing him much embarrassment.
According to Dlamini, the businesswoman (wife) had for lengthy periods refused to talk to him.

In his particulars of claim, the CEO confirmed to have committed adultery with a certain Hlophe woman. He alleged that he was driven to commit adultery by the conduct of his wife.
“As a result of the defendant’s desertion, the plaintiff has been driven to carry out an intimate relationship with one Grace Hlophe and accordingly begs the court to condone his adultery,” he stated.
