The Western Cape High Court has dismissed an application by Berdine Odendaal, the rumoured romantic interest of former Steinhoff boss Markus Jooste, to have the SA Reserve Bank pay her R150 000 a month from funds it blocked in April 2021.

The SARB said at the time there was evidence she bought the assets with loans she received from Mayfair Speculators, a horse-racing company owned by Jooste's family trust.

In this week's judgment, the court said it was common cause that Odendaal had received around R60 million from Mayfair. Lawyers for Odendaal and the bank hashed out an agreement in 2021 for the bank to release R150 000 month from one of her blocked accounts for all"reasonable" expenses, including around R80 000-a-month stabling for her polo ponies. But the agreement broke down in February 2022, after Odendaal repeatedly tried to get the bank to also cover her legal bills. , Odendaal's bid backfired.
