Dr Celiwe gets South Africa talking about financial abuse

A young South African doctor, Dr. Celiwe Ndaba, has ignited a nationwide discussion on financial abuse after revealing her experiences with her estranged husband, Temitope Dada, in viral videos. Despite her successful career, she felt manipulated into funding his lifestyle, leading to their separation and her decision to use her maiden name. Legal experts emphasize that financial abuse, often dismissed as a lesser form of domestic violence, can profoundly impact women’s psychological well-being and is a significant issue in South Africa, particularly for female breadwinners.
