Meanwhile, a 40-year-old woman has been assaulted by her 39-year-old husband identified as Lucas Mhlanga after she refused to sing at a funeral.
According to reports, Mhlanga and his wife Sikhulekile Moyo, 40, were returning home from a funeral in the same suburb on Sunday evening when he asked her why she wasn’t singing at the funeral, according to Owen Mugari, who appeared for the State. After that, he assaulted her.
The victim reported the incident to the police station but later, brought an affidavit to court intending to withdraw the matter saying she had forgiven him as Mhlanga had promised not to assault her again.
The accused pleaded with the court for a lenient punishment and made a promise not to repeat his actions again, blaming his actions on alcohol.
Mhlanga was given two options to either pay a fine of $5,000 by 30th May 2021 or spend 60 days in prison.
