Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies has clapped back at speculation that he was finding himself homeless.
Earlier this week media publication Zimoja reported that the 2019 World Cup winner was thrown out of the house of both his mother and close friend, following an alleged reckless lifestyle that included the invitation of sex workers, drugs and the playing of loud music throughout the night.
The publication also reported that he had been interacting with hackers and suspicious individuals during this time. However, this appears to be far away from the truth.
Taking to Instagram, the former Lions player shared a video addressing the false claims.
Standing in front of his Joburg home, he revealed that he is not homeless and never lived with his mother during this time.
“For the people that said I’m homeless, my mom kicked me out… It’s actually a joke for me, to take those comments seriously. I see it’s all over the media.”
“I’ve got a house. I am not homeless. My mother didn’t kick me out. I don’t know what facts are behind all these things,” he says.
Before taking followers on a small tour of his home, he revealed that he feels it is the media‘s responsibility to apologise for false information spread on the internet.
Responding to the video, his mother Elma commented: “To God be the glory. You are God’s favourite son, covered by his blood, son.”
While others encouraged Elton that he didn’t need to justify himself to the public, Elma later emphasised that they had been quiet for too long.
Based on his current activities on social media it appears that the bok number 10, is doing quite well for himself during his time out of action. While he might not be playing the game himself, he alongside his brother Tony Jantjies has been doing coaching clinics with young schoolboys.
