Khuzani Ndlovu
from Nyamandlovu in Matabeleland North had to be lifted out and laid down by
prison officers as the magistrate quickly adjourned proceedings.
After a few
tense minutes, Ndlovu recovered and was escorted back into court to face an
attempted murder charge before Bulawayo Regional Magistrate Mark Dzira. He was
remanded in custody to 16 December, 2025.
Prosecutor
Siphiwe Mhlanga told the court that on 22 October, Ndlovu went to Kenneth
Moyo’s homestead looking for his estranged wife. Finding no one at home, he
banged on the door until his mother-in-law, Soneni Muringi, responded. When she
told him his wife had visited relatives, Ndlovu allegedly hurled insults,
locked the doors with an iron from outside, and set her room on fire.
The elderly
woman screamed for help and neighbours rushed to save her, breaking down the
door just in time. Villagers chased after Ndlovu, caught him, and handed him
over to police, leading to his arrest. B Metro
