Soccer Legend Mathew Booth found himself the centre of scandalous cheating allegations after his wife, Sonia Booth, took to social media to air their dirty marital laundry. Their marriage and his alleged extramarital affair have been the talk of Mzansi for the better part of yesterday as many people sympathised with his wife. However, Mathew Booth finally broke his silence by showing his intent to sue his wife, Sonia Booth, over the allegations she made.
Allegations made by Sonia Booth about Mathew’s infidelity
In a series of posts, former Miss South Africa Sonia Booth shared that her husband Mathew Booth was having an affair. Mathew Booth is an ex-professional footballer who used to play for Mamelodi Sundowns as a centre-back. The posts said that Mathew started cheating on Valentine’s day when he used his wife’s car for a trip with his girlfriend.
The two were said to have been seen together in public on several occasions by fans, and pictures and videos were shared as proof. Sonia posted all the evidence she had collected on her social media accounts. The alleged side chick Bongani Moller posted a cryptic video showing that she was keeping it moving despite being name shamed.

Booth said that the matter had been handed over to his lawyers, who will take the necessary steps to ensure it’s handled appropriately. To pen off his statement, he appealed to his alleged side chick and all the corporates he works with his sponsors, not letting the allegations deter their work.
Many South Africans met the statement with mixed emotions and even stated that Mathew should have apologized rather than sued his wife. The fact that he apologized to the woman he was caught on video being lovey Dovey with made the masses stand with Sonia still. His fans and followers even stated that he should have thought of the children before being seen with Bongani in public.
