According to Afrikaans news publication Rapport, Jantjies was reportedly seen entertaining the Springboks’ dietician Zeenat Simjee at two different guesthouses.
This was during the week leading up to the Springboks’ first Rugby Championship Test against the All Blacks in Mbombela a month ago.
The reports confirm that the Springbok player didn't stay in the same hotel as the rest of his team-mates or management.
He did, however, make alternative accommodation reservations.

This all started in Pretoria, where a father was staying at one of the guesthouses with his 12-year-old son.
The father then told the publication that his son had spotted the pair in the same guesthouse.
It became clear that he was not with his wife, as he recognised both of them.
The reason for spotting them was that the boy wanted to ask them for their autographs.
Jantjies is a married man. He shares three children with wife Iva Ristic.
The Bok player had reportedly left the guesthouse without settling his account of R4,000.
He then checked into another guesthouse where he ran up a bill of R26,000.
From that bill only R5,000 was reportedly paid.

It's been said that the money was spent on buying flowers, expensive champagne, and spa treatments, amongst other things.
SA Rugby has issued a brief statement on Sunday confirming that they are aware of the situation.
No team protocols were breached, but the individuals are returning to South Africa to attend to these personal reports and to eliminate any distractions to the team’s preparations for the Test against Argentina.
