UMZINTO — A video is circulating of a man confessing to allegedly killing his ex-lover after he posted a photo of her lifeless body riddled with stab wounds.

The disturbing material went viral late on Tuesday night, 17 December 2024, after the alleged murderer shared it on Facebook.

He has since deleted the clip from his page. However, copies of it are available online. By the time of publishing this story, only a photo of what appeared to be the woman's lifeless body, shared at 6.06pm, was still available under his posts.

It shows her lying face-up, slumped against a car, with what appears to be stab wounds on her neck. Her clothing is soaked in blood.

Briefly News sent a media inquiry to KZN police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda for an official statement about the incident.

When this story was published, Netshiunda had yet to confirm the incident and the video's authenticity after it had been widely circulated.

In his confession, the alleged killer seemingly justifies his actions, saying the woman had toyed with him and fallen pregnant by another man while they were still involved. Ntaka claims she later dumped him.

"Nizothi ngisihluku. Ngizamile, ngisebenze kanzima empilweni yami trying to satisfy a woman. Ngizama ukumujabulisa. Ngizame ukuthi umuntu wesifazane ukuthi ajabule. Ngizame kanzima. Ngilose izinto eyiningi; lots of money. Lots of everything," he said in IsiZulu.

Translated, he said he had worked hard to make the woman happy and lost lots of money and other things.

He claims he accepted her child as if it were his own, taking care of them. But, in a twist, the woman ended their relationship.

A Facebook user, @ByanByan, posted a later update, falsely sharing that the alleged killer had since been arrested.

"Sbusiso is a teacher at Ziphozethu Primary School in KwaDukuza, KZN, and will appear in court soon," read the post.

The Women for Change non-profit released a statement condemning the alleged incident. It said it was horrific that platforms had not taken down the content.

"Even more disturbing is that the post by Sibusiso Lawrence has already been shared thousands of times. Please do not share it. We have reported the matter to the authorities and are urging it to be addressed urgently.

"It's not entertainment, to be consumed casually on social media. It is the tragic reality of someone’s daughter, sister, mother, or friend.

"Sharing such content not only disrespects the victim and their family but also contributes to further trauma for those affected. We must treat these situations with the dignity and sensitivity they deserve," said the NPO.
