Natasha: I bear Steve no grudge

Pretoria - Natasha Sutherland, wife of the singer Steve Hofmeyr, says she is definitely not on a " path of revenge" against Hofmeyr.
Sutherland and Hofmeyr recently announced they were getting a divorce.
Sutherland and the couple's two sons are already living in an other house - not far from the one in which Hofmeyr lives.
Sutherland also said on Sunday that she hadn't "taken a final decision about a claim for damages due to the break-up of my marriage".
She did not elaborate.
"I am by no means on a path of revenge against my husband, as the Sunday papers alleged.
"Peet (Viljoen, Hofmeyr's attorney until last Tuesday) approached me with a proposal to represent me in the divorce, but I don't want to go that route.
"Steve and I agreed months ago on a settlement and I'm sticking to that," she said.
"All I can say about my and Steve's separation, is that the reasons are private," Sutherland added.
"I want to state clearly that I bear him no grudge."
Viljoen said on Sunday that he wanted to "deny emphatically" that Sutherland "has plans of revenge or retaliation" against Hofmeyr.
"I would also like to emphasise that the rumours about Steve not paying his legal fees to me, are lies. Steve is a very good payer, and he does not have any outstanding debts with me," Viljoen said.
