Gertrude Dube from Sigola Village made shocking revelations
that her husband Mxolisi Dube disciplines her with an axe.
Whenever they have misunderstandings Mxolisi reportedly
beats her using the handle of the axe then threatens to use the axe to kill
her, forcing her to behave in a manner that pleases him.
The issue came to light after Mxolisi axed Gertrude on her
left leg and she had to be rushed to hospital for treatment.
“The risk of death was high in her case because she was
bleeding profusely. The fact that death did not occur was entirely a matter of
good fortune and we are glad the incident was reported to the police,” said a
relative privy to the issue.
The village head of the area, Mehluli Ndlovu confirmed the
case. “Gertrude stays with her husband and two children in their homestead. We
were scared because the husband is very violent. Recently he axed Gertrude and
as we speak, she is in hospital,” said Ndlovu.
He added: “Mxolisi was always fighting with neighbours and
he also threatened to kill people. Since he was in the habit of threatening to
kill everyone it’s a relief he got arrested.” B Metro
