Sundowns striker gets married without side chick’s knowledge

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Yannick Zakri allegedly got married in his home country of Ivory Coast without the knowledge of his South African girlfriend.


The Ivorian’s girlfriend Khwezi Shengu was reportedly upset when she found out that the footballer had a second lover in the Ivory Coast.

“He brushed me aside by saying he was stressing about his mother’s health. He left here saying his mother was very sick … When he came back, I was waiting for him in a fighting mode at his apartment in Kempton Park. But instead, we ended up having sex. I did not interrogate him as planned because the sex was just so good,” Shengu told SundayWorld.

“I received a text that read: ‘Who are you to my husband?’ I sent a text explaining that I did not know Zakri was married, but the wife was so rude to me and I retaliated,” she said.

Shengu accused Zakri’s wife of creating a fake Instagram account where she posted her picture.

“After seeing the page, I started taking all the clothes Zakri told me belonged to his ex and wore them and posed with them on my Instagram page. I posted everyday with her clothes to hurt her back because she was defaming me…calling me a prostitute.”

Zakri told the tabloid paper that he knew Shengu but refused to discuss the status of his relationship with the 24-year-old plus-size model.

“I’m with my wife now, she is lying. In fact I don’t want to talk about her,” said Zakri.
