Majahana Mazibuko (50) of Beitbridge died after being allegedly hacked to death with a machete by his wife, Geraldine Nyoni (26). The two had a misunderstanding over the paternity of their five-year-old daughter. Mazibuko died a few minutes after being admitted at Beitbridge District Hospital.
Mazibuko’s brother, Mr Vusa Matshudula, said:
It looks like on that particular night, the major problem that actually triggered the fight was the issue of paternity of their daughter.
The wife had earlier told my brother that the baby was not his and this degenerated into a fight.
Matabeleland South police spokesperson Inspector Philisani Ndebele confirmed the incident saying:
I can confirm that we are investigating a murder case that occurred in Dulivhadzimu in Beitbridge on Saturday night. I cannot give full information for now.
