In Nazareth, Pinetown, Mautsoa Jonas, a police officer, killed his wife Melethola Mautsoa because she refused to accept Isithembu.

In Pinetown, a police officer's husband shot and killed a Durban woman for refusing to give Isithembu.

A police officer from North West is accused of finding and killing his wife before turning the pistol on himself, causing a terrible murder-suicide that shook the Nazareth community in Pinetown, eThekwini.

The woman, Melethola Mautsoa, who works for the eThekwini Municipality, was washing dishes outside her new home yesterday when the incident occurred. In order to get away from the tense marriage, the lady had lately moved out and settled in Nazareth, according to those close to the pair.


According to sources, his first wife vehemently objected to the officer's decision to pay Lobola for a second wife. According to reports, she told him that she would prefer a divorce to a polygamous union.

She is thought to have been killed instantly when the cop followed her home from work, briefly accosted her, and then opened fire. At the site, he then committed suicide.
