Elton Jantjie’s wife: Meet his bombshell baby mama Iva

Rugby bad boy Elton Jantjies has made headlines yet again for his behaviour off the pitch- and this time it’s for allegedly cheating on his wife Iva with a woman named Zeenat Simjee.

The Springbok star and Zeenat – the team’s official dietician – were sent home from Argentina over the weekend after the couple was caught in a hotel tryst. But the woman he wined and dined with candle-lit dinners and Moet champagne was not his wife and mother of his children Iva.
