It was earlier reported that the 33-year-old woman, Lindelani Nengovhela, was allegedly killed by her husband in South Africa a day after she withdrew a domestic violence case against him.
Nengovhela and her husband, Livhuwani Madadzhe, were reportedly in an abusive relationship, and she had opened a case of domestic violence against him.
He was arrested and was scheduled to appear in court next week, but on Friday, January 27, Lindelani asked the court to dismiss the case. Read here.
In the old Facebook post dated June 25, 2022, the deceased shared a loved-up video with her husband, and in her caption, she talked about how genuine love is unconditional. She added that, no matter what happens, one should never leave their true love.
“True love is unconditional. No matter what happens you never leave it.” She wrote.
Meanwhile, speaking on the incident, Limpopo provincial commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, urged people in turbulent relationships not to resort to domestic violence
“This is yet another incident of gender-based violence and femicide perpetrated against a vulnerable member of society. The woman obviously trusted her husband would not again physically torment her, but she is now no more. We urge community members having domestic challenges to seek help and desist from resorting to violence,” she said.
