A 30-YEAR-OLD woman who was in love with a 20-year-old man and used to pamper him with goodies and money was left regretting after her lover bashed her and stole her undies and leg-in costume before dumping her.
A court heard that Nomazulu Nyathi and Zenzo Nkiwane from Dromoland in Inyathi were in love but things took a nasty turn after Nkiwane fell in love with a 15-year-old girl and dumped Nyathi.
The news of being dumped did not go down well with Nyathi as she confronted Nkiwane at his home. The court heard that she demanded all her money that she used to give him and the goodies that she pampered him with. But Nkiwane did not barge and bashed her.
After that, the court heard, he went to Nyathi’s home and stole her panties, leg-in and other clothes. While he was leaving Nyathi’s home with the loot, Nyathi arrived at her home and an argument broke out.
Nkiwane reached for a stone and hit his former lover on the face.
She fell down and bled. The incident was reported to the police leading to Nkiwane’s arrest.
