"Boss Nyatsi!" - Daily Sun

"Six years ago when Thamsanqa left his wife he thought he was in heaven" - front page lead, August 18 2015

Daily Sun (August 18 2015) -  .

But these days he’s not so sure.

HE NO LONGER KNOWS IF HE’S THE HOT SHOT LOVER OR JUST AN ABUSED SEX SLAVE!

The details of 45-year-old Thamsanqa Mciya’s life between a rock and a hard place unfolded on Sunday in Bainsville, Bloemfontein, when the SunTeam spotted him being chased down a kasi street by his angry nyatsi.

It appears that Thamsanqa’s lover, Elsie (50), soon started whipping him with a sjambok if she didn’t like what he was doing – like if he had too much to drink. She also sees nothing wrong in locking him in the room and using him as a sex slave.

And if Thamsanqa thought his customary wife of 23 years was ever going to take him back, he was wrong. When he pleaded to be taken back, she said: no thanks. “I left my family six years ago when I met Elsie,” Thamsanqa told Daily Sun.

“I was taken in by the new love but now my nyatsi has turned abusive and sjamboks me. I want to go back to my family, but my wife is taken.”

He said he won’t report Elsie to the cops. “I know the cops will laugh at me,” he said. While the SunTeam was talking to Thamsanqa, Elsie interrupted. “I’m not abusive but I am very protective,” she said. “We’ve been together for six years and it’s been good. I love him and I won’t lose him.”

Then she became impatient. Grabbing him by his jacket she yelled: “We are going home and you are coming with me. No one will have you except me!”

His former wife, Katrina Moholo (46) said she has moved on and has a new man in her life.  “He got what he wanted after he left us,” she said.  “I’m very happy in my new relationship. He chose that woman and he should stand by her.”

Police spokesman Captain Chaka Marope said Thamsanqa can report the matter to any police station.

“He will be helped,” said Marope, with a serious face.
