Simjee's lawyer, Frikkie Erasmus, has gone on to say that it was not his client who had been seen at an Mbombela guesthouse with Jantjies.
It was a matter of mistaken identity.
The lawyer has gone on to say they know who the woman is, however, they aren't willing to identify her for fear of a "much bigger problem" still to come.
The news comes after Jantjies himself admitted to the affair a couple of weeks ago.

According to IOL, the Springbok flyhalf admitted to his wife he had been involved with Simjee for several months.
The confession was allegedly made the moment he and his wife landed in Japan, where he had been playing for his club, Red Hurricanes Osaka.
Jantjies’ wife, Iva Ristic, and kids recently headed off to Cyprus to get away from the media attention.
The story started when Afrikaans news publication Rapport reported Jantjies was seen entertaining the Springboks’ dietician, Zeenat Simjee, at two different guesthouses.
