79% Informative

Dr Celiwe Ndaba vlogged about how she had been financially exploited by her husband.

She said she felt manipulated to fund her husband's lifestyle - in particular his desire to drive a Mercedes Benz .

Despite pleas for her husband to downgrade, she said he refused - accusing her of wanting to "turn him into a laughing stock" Financial abuse occurs when one partner dominates or exploits the other's financial resources.

In South Africa , this is legally classified as economic abuse under the Domestic Violence Act .

Nombulelo Shange , a sociologist lecturer at the University of the Free State , says it is part of a growing pattern in South Africa of middle-class women being financially exploited.

By the time the university lecturer divorced her husband, she was left with debts of 140,000 rand ($ 7,500 ; 5,600 ) - all racked up in her name.
