"Stadium of death!" - Daily Sun

"Cheating wife ran for dear life - but her lover was not so lucky" - newspaper's front page lead, September 11 2014

Daily Sun (September 11 2014) - THE cheaters were having hot sex when the woman's husband broke down the door. She fled naked into the night, leaving her lover behind - and three men with knobkieries.

NOW HE'S DEAD, SHE'S MISSING, AND THE SHACK'S OWNER FEARS BEING HAUNTED!

The alleged attackers are behind bars after cops arrested them not long after the deadly attack on Saturday. "My neighbour often met her boyfriend at my house," Nomsa Sibiya, from Langaville near KwaThema, Ekurhuleni told Daily Sun.

"They were in my house on Saturday but I was not drinking with them. I didn't feel well, so I went to bed early."

Residents believe that Nomsa let the two cheaters use the shack in her backyard as a "stadium" 
(a place to go with your lover to have sex), but she denies this.

"After drinking, they told my brother they were leaving, but they sneaked into the unlocked shack without anyone noticing them," she said.

"I'm sure men who work for her husband saw them go into the shack and switch off the light.

"I heard screaming at about 11pm. As we opened the door to see what was happening, my neighbour's lover, Maswazi Shongwe, rushed past us as he tried to get away from his attackers.

"My neighbour's husband and two of his workers had turned up with knobkieries.

"They continued beating him inside my house while we screamed at them to stop.

"When they left we called an ambulance, but Maswazi died before it got here.

"There's blood splattered on the wall and all over my furniture."

Nomsa said the woman's husband came back later and brought Maswazi's wife with him to see her dead husband.

Nomvula Mbele (36), Maswazi's wife, collapsed when she saw the bloody body.

"I saw him lying dead and there was nothing I could do. I just cried," Nomvula told the People's Paper.

She said her husband left their home at 7am on Saturday, telling her he was going to a funeral in Joburg.

"At 9pm he let me know he was on his way back, but he never arrived. Then at 1am I was woken up by my friend and a man who told me to come see where my husband was," Nomvula cried.

Captain Petros Mabuza of Tsakane cop shop confirmed that three men were arrested for the murder of a 38-year-old man.

"They will appear in court soon," he said.

Daily Sun was told that the wife left her phone behind when she fled from her angry husband, so nobody has been able to contact her.

Meanwhile Nomvula just wants peace returned to her yard.

"I want the dead man's family and my neighbour to perform rituals to cleanse my home," she said.

"We don't want to be haunted by his spirit."
