Actress and media personality Denise Zimba has lost custody of her two young daughters following a Johannesburg High Court ruling.
The court has granted her ex-husband, Jakob Schlichtig, permission to take their daughters—aged five years and 19 months—back to Germany, a country they are unfamiliar with, separating them from their mother, who has been their primary caregiver.
Denise and Jakob’s marriage lasted only two years, ending after Denise discovered her husband’s alleged infidelity with her close friend of 14 years.
At the time of their separation, Denise made it clear that she had no regrets about leaving Jakob due to his betrayal. The court’s decision has now allowed him to take the children to Germany, a country they have little connection with.
In a statement shared on social media, Women For Change, an organisation dedicated to supporting women’s rights and combating gender-based violence, expressed their concern over the ruling.
They stated that it is yet another example of the system failing mothers, highlighting that “fathers can claim parental rights while disregarding the immense emotional and physical labour mothers dedicate to raising their children.”
The organisation further emphasised, “The trauma of taking children away from their mothers—their source of comfort, safety, and love—is immeasurable.”
Women For Change has vowed to stand by Denise and support her efforts to regain custody of her children.
