Cape Town – South African soccer legend and former Bafana Bafana player, Matthew Booth has responded to cheating allegations levelled against him by his wife, Miss South Africa 2001 second runner-up, Sonia Booth.
Sonia alleged that her husband was having an affair with Bongani Mthombeni-Moller in a string of posts on her Instagram account.
But Booth, 45, denied the accusations in a statement issued on Wednesday.
He said he was disappointed that his wife had decided to go public with the matter “on all public platforms with an intention to tarnish my name without discussing them with me”

Booth said he was concerned about the children and will leave the matter to the legal system and let the truth prevail in due course.
He also pleaded with his alleged mistress Mrs Mthombeni-Moller and his sponsors in the Booth Trust to not let the matter influence their dealings.
In one post, Sonia revealed that she had warned the mistress whom she alleged was also married, and claimed that she had also engaged the side chick’s husband who gave her permission to expose the affair.
She also shared how the sports commentator baked a cheesecake at their home on the eve of their son’s birthday only to find out the cake was later given to the mistress who enjoyed it with her husband.
