"Flames of love!" - Daily Sun

Daily Sun (July 31 2014) -  MOSES SAID when Kgadi cheated him out of his money he threw her out of the house.

He thought he'd had the last say, but she got back at him with a petrol bomb!

The bomb was so strong it almost burnt his house down!

"I don't want this woman in my life," said Moses Senwamadi (39) from Greenfields in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni.

"She wants my money and not me . . . and she is very, very dangerous."

Moses told Daily Sun his lover, Kgadi Masibe (37), told him she needed R35 000 to continue her studies and improve her life. But later, he says, he found out she'd lied to him just to get his money, so Moses ended the relationship. But if Moses thought it was the end of the story, he was very wrong.

Last week she came in the night while Moses was sleeping and threw a petrol bomb through the bathroom.

"I jumped out of bed and grabbed the fire extinguisher to put out the fire but it was useless. The fire was so strong it cracked the wall," he said.

"I'm lucky I escaped unhurt. I thank God she didn't throw the bomb through my bedroom window. It would have killed me."

He said he opened a case at Norkem Police Station but the woman was not arrested.

"She is still sending me SMSes, vowing to come back to finish what she started," Moses said.

"In one of the SMSes she said I must sleep with my clothes on because she is coming back."

She calls him sometimes using different numbers and when he tries to contact her, she doesn't answer.

Moses met Kgadi seven years ago when they were renting in the same yard in Winnie Mandela, Tembisa.

"Then she was harmless but now I have to sleep with one eye open," he said.

He said he bought the house and asked her to move in with him and that's when the trouble started.

"She changed. She started stealing from me," he said.

"I just want the cops to arrest her because I don't have any peace of mind."

He said in June she smashed the windows of his car and threatened in an SMS to come back and set it on fire.

"I opened a case but she was never arrested. I don't know what to do any more," he said.

Captain Manyadza Ralidzivha confirmed that two cases of malicious damage to property had been opened.

"Cops are looking for the woman and we ask anyone who has information to let us know."

Kgadi Masibe admitted to throwing the petrol bomb.

"He was bringing women into the house I helped him to build. I had to do it because he was abusing me emotionally," she said.
