North West Premier Thandi Modise has condemned in the strongest terms possible the stabbing of wife by her 32 year old husband. In calling for a no bail for the arrested suspect, Premier Modise said that escalating incidents of gender based violence demand for united action to prevent brutality against women.
“Our communities have had enough of violence targeted at the vulnerable groups particularly Women. We call on women who are in abusive relations to speak out and for men who are experiencing pressure to seek counseling and professional help before matters get out of hand,” emphasised Premier Modise.
According to police, the couple was travelling on the R510 Tsitsing road at around 9h00 am when an argument erupted between them. The 27-year-old victim reportedly managed to get out of the car and ran away, but the suspect caught up with her and stabbed her several times in the chest.
Spokesperson for the North West Police, Sergeant Kealeboga Molale said that the victim died on the scene. Molale said that the arrested suspect is expected to appear in the Tlhabane Magistrates’ Court on Monday. She said that police are investigating a case of murder.
