All is a fair in love and war but what does this really mean? Well, in a nutshell, in the throws of highly charged emotions like anger, resentment and vengeance one is justified in using any means necessary to get what one wants. The same can be said for more palatable feelings, like love, desire and pleasure.

However, between man and wife Banzi and Claudia Motaung, there’s no love lost but the way they’re carrying on it’s anybody’s guess whether there was ever any love there to begin with.

If, like Banzi, you are one of the people that pegged Claudia for a mere beauty with no brains then you have been terribly mistaken because the gal is no trophy. In a marriage that may leave her emotionally bankrupt she figured she’d be damned if it left her financially so. So she put on her poker face and played a strategic game against her not-so-beloved hubby, taking the hardline to her goals and nothing but.

And so the sparring ring is set and the dirty slinging begins. Banzi and his goons unleash a troop of homeless squatter campers into Claudia Motaung’s building to make it undesirable. All this to sabotage her chances of finding funders and investors. The truth is Banzi cannot stand the fact that Claudia is not playing in his territory and beating him at it.

Has Banzi underestimated his wife to his own detriment?
