Sometimes The Headlines Just Write Themselves

Married egg handler, working at Newlaid Farms, is crushed to learn that his wife slept with a man working at the rival Golden Lay Chicken Farm.

A divorced egg grader at Newlaid Farms was so distraught when his former wife slept with another man that he claimed R200 000 in damages from the lover for his injured feelings and for the loss of her affection.

The Pretoria High Court, however, felt that his injured feelings only deserved a payment of R20 000. Shawn Cloete, 33, of Randfontein told the court he was extremely upset when he discovered that Magaretha Valushia Cloete, 28, once the love of his life, had sexual relations with Albert Beneke, 23, who worked at Golden Lay Chicken Farm and also lived in Randfontein.
