Thuthuka Hlophe, the son of embattled Cape Judge President John Hlophe, claims to be the target of a "love-crazy bitch " who has allegedly sent death threats to his loved ones.
A warrant of arrest is out for Kgomotso Mathabathe, 25, from Sandton, who faces contempt of court charges after allegedly intimidating, harassing and sending death threats to Hlophe's girlfriend, Yandiswa Quwe, and her sister — and ignoring a court order to stop.
Hlophe, 26, a Cape Town businessman, said he received more than 90 missed calls every day from Mathabathe, and claimed she had created a profile for him on a gay website.
"The woman is crazy and I do not feel safe at all," he said. "She is a love-crazy bitch."
On Wednesday, Amanda Goba, 35, a former Muvhango actress and sister to Quwe, applied for a peace order at the Randburg Magistrate's Court to stop Mathabathe harassing her and her sister and threatening to harm her children.
In court papers, Goba claimed that Mathabathe had wrecked her credit profile by opening clothing accounts and buying insurance policies in her name. She also told the court that Mathabathe threatened to set up profiles bearing her name and photograph on Internet dating websites.
But by Friday Mathabathe was already ignoring the court order, Goba told the Sunday Times.
Both Hlophe and Mathabathe said theirs had been a business relationship, but his girlfriend, Yandiswa Quwe, 27, said Mathabathe was bitter because Hlophe had dumped her four years ago.
Quwe, mother of Hlophe's four-month-old baby girl, claimed Mathabathe had called her and sent her SMSs saying that "as long as I'm in the picture, your baby will not live for long".
"She even called me on Thursday to tell me that she bought a gun and that she was going to kill me," said Quwe.
"She said that first it was me, then my sister Amanda — and my brother Bongani was going to be next."
Quwe, who lives in Port Elizabeth, claimed Mathabathe had created a profile in her name on an Internet dating website and "painted it to make me look like a devil".
Hlophe said of Mathabathe: "She claims that I owe her money and the figures keep on changing every day. I honestly don't know where all this comes from."
Hlophe denies ever dating Mathabathe. He said he met her several years ago when he rented a flat to her.
He said that she once even phoned his father, Judge John Hlophe and had sworn at him.
"She even posted messages on a website to say I was dead, and invited people to attend my memorial service," he said.
On Friday, Mathabathe denied all allegations made against her by Hlophe, Goba and Quwe, saying they were false. She said she was not romantically interested in Hlophe and denied they ever dated each other.
She said the reason she called him every day was because he owed her R4500 that he had borrowed from her when he was "broke and unemployed".
She denied ever phoning Quwe or Goba or creating Internet profiles of Hlophe. She also denied calling Hlophe's father.
"I got my dad to phone Judge Hlophe, asking his son to pay me my money. I spoke to Thuthuka's stepmother and she just told me that I must give up as I will never get my money," Mathabathe said.
On Friday, Mathabathe told the Sunday Times that she was unaware of the warrant for her arrest.
Bramley police spokesman Constable Neria Malefetse confirmed that an arrest warrant had been issued for Mathabathe and that she faced charges of contempt of court for allegedly ignoring the peace order.
