Widow shares story of witnessing her soulmate’s death in Durban
Nobody marries their soulmate with the thought of having to mourn them before celebrating their first anniversary. Newlyweds often have to worry about the amount of fun they are going to have or the long lines they’ll have to endure at the Home Affairs offices to get their documents changed.

One lady shared the story of losing her husband in a now-viral TikTok post:
“No woman deserves this pain. Before sharing how I feel, all I want is justice for my husband. He was a father to two beautiful daughters, He didn't get a chance to witness his daughter’s first birthday. We have been let down by the justice of South Africa together with the Veralum Police station.
"The incident happened at Cornobia Mall(Durban-Umhlanga) parking lot when a young Indian guy had road rage issues while he was driving in the wrong lane. He attacked me and my daughter in the car while my husband stepped out to go towards the mall. He heard loud bangs of this guy attacking us and damaging our car.
“He ran back while hearing the noise and ran after the guy when he drove off trying to run away from the damage his done, and while my husband was running towards him, he ran him over intentionally, and fortunately the security guards managed to close the boom gates as he was trying to escape.

“My husband suffered severe internal bleeding which caused brain damage. He tried to fight for his life for almost four months in hospital without being able to walk or talk and unfortunately did not make it. The whole of 2024 was the most disastrous, draining and painful year I've ever experienced.
“We have been attending every court case in Veralum Court since April of the incident and no ruling has been done, The accused has been walking freely as he was granted bail. He will walk free again as they appeal for withdrawal of the case on the 28th of March 2025.”
The woman begged Minister Beki Celi and SAPS to intervene:
“Mr @bheki cele Please intervene @SAPS @Cornobia Mall must assist with correct and full CCTV footage. Justice must be served!”
