Surprise Twist in Messy Elton Jantjies Scandal as SARU President Dismisses Furore as 'Hearsay'

• Elton Jantjies and Zeenat Simjee at least know that one person is not believing the entire story currently about them
• South African Rugby Union president Mark Alexander has given an interesting take concerning the reaction to their alleged affair
• The Springbok and fly-half and dietician are currently persona non grata inside their organisation as it looks to manage the crisis

Alexander took an unexpectedly cautionary to the matter.

He was speaking ahead of the Springboks' match against Argentina on Saturday night in the Rugby Championship.

According to Netwerk24, he said

“We have very strict team rules and the management team will deal with the issue. I don’t want to dig into anyone’s personal life because all the information is hearsay right now. It’s still just gossip.

“If people are so serious about what happened, they should go on the record about what they know."

Troubled springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies posts cryptic message on social media after his affair's exposure

Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies has responded to the fallout that has ensued since his relationship with team dietician Zeenat Simjee was made public.

Jantjies posted a cryptic message on his Instagram page that was accompanied by a photo of Robert De Niro in his depiction of Vito Corleone in the Godfather series.

The South African Rugby Union sent the two home from Argentina, where the team is preparing for a crucial Rugby Championship match against Los Pumas on Saturday evening.

Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies reportedly in an extramarital affair with team dietician

Elton Jantjies has found himself in another spot of bother.

The Springbok flyhalf's professionalism has come into disrepute after a Sunday newspaper alleged that he is involved in an affair with the team's dietician Zeenat Simjee. He is married to Iva Ristic, with the couple being the parents of three children.

The two set up trysts at two different locations in Mbombela ahead of the first Test against New Zealand last month. Jantjies did not stay in the same hotel as his teammates as is tradition, which surprisingly did not raise any suspicions.
