An argument between two lovers ended horribly when the husband killed his wife two days into the new year. The South African Police Service strongly condemned the violent act against a woman after the suspect was arrested.
Man kills his woman with a sharp object
According to SAPS, a 32-year-old woman was stabbed to death by her husband in Vuwani in Limpopo on 2 January. The police reported that the pair got into a heated argument. The suspect then left and fetched a sharp object. He then lunged at his wife and stabbed her once, leaving a gaping wound from which she died.
The police were called to the scene by community members, and they arrived at 2 am. When the cops arrived, they could see that the woman was lying in a pool of blood. The suspect was not allowed to escape and was arrested on the scene. He is due to appear before the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court.

Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe strongly condemned the gender-based violence.
“Domestic violence is a serious issue, and SAPS urges individuals facing such situations to seek psycho-social support from professionals or support organisations. We also emphasise the importance of community members reporting any signs of domestic abuse or violence property to law enforcement authorities.”
Eastern Cape man convicted of murdering his wife
Similarly, Briefly News reported that a man from the Eastern Cape was convicted of brutally murdering his wife and concealing her remains in the house.
Yibanathi MacGyver Ndema initially reported his wife missing in 2019 to divert police’s focus from him as a primary suspect, two days after killing his wife. The police investigated the crime, discovered her remains at his house, and he was arrested and charged with murder. Police also found that Ndema was abusive to his wife and assaulted her with a stick and fists, pulled her hair and burned her with hot water.
