Artist blames sect in husband’s assault case
More articles on this topic: South AfricaA sect called Temple Beautiful, headed by a person who claimed to channel Jesus Christ and “other strange entities”, was exerting a negative influence on her husband, a city artist told the Wynberg magistrate’s court on Wednesday.
Testifying in support of a charge of assault against her husband, the woman said he had formed an adulterous relationship with a woman at the Temple Beautiful and brought her home, upsetting their children. This had happened while he was still living with her and their children in their family home, the artist said.
When she confronted him, she said, her husband assaulted her, propelling her backwards into a wall.
She said she blacked out and when she came to, heard her son pleading with his father to stop hitting her.
The man has pleaded not guilty.
Cross-examined by Jon Greg Wilson, for the defence, the artist acknowledged that she had investigated the woman and discovered that “she’d had a lot of affairs”.
She also acknowledged that she had described the woman as “common”.
“She is common. She helped to break up a home and children’s lives,” she said.
“My husband brought her into my home a month after leaving us. We are a broken family.”
When defence counsel suggested that she was bitter, the artist said: “I am very hurt and sad. The whole thing is tragic.
“My husband is very influenced by this sect he belongs to and by the people in it.”
The case was postponed to November 29.
