Ex sues over loss of wife

Randburg businessman Enrico Bernert is suing his former wife's boss for R1m, claiming that the man wooed her away from him. In papers before the Pretoria High Court, Bernert says Albert Kopp, a Sandton businessman, ‘enticed’ his then wife Monika into an adulterous relationship, reports The Star. She subsequently divorced Bernert and married Kopp. He stated that she failed to support him through hard times and refused to move with him to the United Arab Emirates when he obtained employment there. But Monika Kopp said in an answering affidavit that life had become impossible with her former husband and that he had spent most of their married life partying with his bachelor friends. She said Bernert was only too happy when she told him she was going to divorce him.
