It is alleged that Phangisa had slept in the victim’s house on a Sunday and when he returned home the next day he found that his wife was furious. He realized that she had discovered his infidelity. After a quarrel he went back to his mistress’s work place. It is reported that her wife followed him to the lover’s workplace, a furniture shop near Patel’s Hardware. The unbelievable happened. She allegedly drew a gun and ordered them to enter the shop. Whilst inside the shop, she fired four times at them and one shot hit Dlamini in the stomach.

The situation was rescued when a shopper grabbed and disarmed her. A street vendor, who witnessed the drama, said she heard a loud bang inside the shop. “I then saw people coming from the shop running for their dear lives,” she said. “Amidst the disorder I noticed that there was an injured woman,” she explained. Police and an ambulance were called into the scene. The injured woman was reportedly rushed to the Tonga Hospital from where she was transferred to Rob Ferreira Hospital in Nelspruit.

Police apprehended the suspect at the same time and she appeared at the Tonga Magistrate’s Court the following day. She is currently out on bail of R1000 and her next appearance will be on September 13. “People should resolve their differences amicably without taking the law into their own hands,” advised Captain Rose Qwabe.
