NHLANGANO – A man has confessed to killing his girlfriend after condoms fell
out of her pockets.
The shocking revelation was made by Mduduzi Nhleko (22), the man who allegedly
battered his partner with a wooden stick resulting in her death last Wednesday.
Nhleko, who was apprehended by Big Bend police on Monday while at his baby
mama’s house, admitted to hitting his lover Gcinile Dlamini with the piece of
timber during interrogation, following his arrest. He told investigating
officers that he struck his girlfriend repeatedly all over the body until she
complained of severe pain, and begged for her life. He was later to relay the
same information to a judicial officer, to whom he made a confession yesterday
afternoon. It was gathered that the man hit the woman so hard that the timber
broke into several pieces that were found scattered all over the floor inside
his rented flat.
The 22-year-old airtime vendor recounted that he had invited his girlfriend to
sleep over last Wednesday, and the woman had accepted the invitation without any

off from work at 7pm and headed for her homestead, which is situated about two

businesses at the shopping complex at Maseyisini, which is in the same compound
as the man’s rented flat. The man disclosed that the woman agreed to come to
his place after she was done with a few family chores. He said she indeed
honoured her promise, and the pair got all lovey dovey after the woman had
arrived in the man’s flat. However, trouble set in after the man spotted some
condoms under the bed.
Nhleko mentioned that his partner was already in bed waiting for him to join her
when he came across the shiny packets underneath the bed. Upon noticing these
were condoms, the man angrily asked the woman what she was doing with condoms
because they had never used them at any occasion. The woman failed to give an
immediate answer. Detectives heard that the man picked up a wooden stick from
underneath the bed, and started hitting his lover right away.
Nhleko struck Gcinile Dlamini several times all over the body until the woman
begged him to stop, promising to give an explanation on how the condoms got into
her pockets. However, instead of making her clarification, the woman simply
broke down and cried. She was complaining of severe pain, according to her
assailant. He said she then requested him to call an ambulance. “I called the
ambulance but to no success,” he reportedly said. Thereafter, the man said her
