INDVUNA SHOOTS MAID’S LOVER

MBABANE – A businessman, who also serves as an Indvuna of Sigangeni, has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly shot his maid’s lover.

*Dlamini is alleged to have shot Ayanda Mbuyisa. Dlamini owns a grocery shop at Sigangeni and a number of kombis which service the nation as public transport. According to Dlamini, he heard a noise on Sunday night outside his homestead and one of the children came into the house running.

The child told him that there was a person who was allegedly walking around the yard and they could not see who it was as it was dark. His son then went outside and looked around but did not see anything and he went back into the house. The dogs then started barking and Dlamini said he then went outside with his gun and fired in the air as he could not see anything. The time was around 7:45pm and when he came back into the house he then questioned his helper if she had a boyfriend in the area since the man was spotted close to her quarters. Dlamini said his helper told him she had a boyfriend past Manzini and not at Sigangeni. The family then went to bed without going back outside to check what had happened. In the morning, Dlamini got ready for work and he passed by his grocery shop as it was time for it to open, when he was called by his son who told him there was a man who was found in the fields who had been shot.
“What is confusing me is that I know the boy as he is a neighbour and I shot upwards.

The family helper then admitted that Mbuyisa was her lover. She told us that she was the one who dragged him to the fields as he had spent the night near the fence behind the houses,” Dlamini said. The maid could not be found in the family compound yesterday as she had been taken by the police after they had been called to the scene. Joseph Mbuyisa, the father of the shot man, stated that he was called in the morning at around 7am and the caller told him that his son had been shot and he was told where he would find Ayanda. Joseph stated that when he found his son, he was alive and he was then taken by an ambulance to hospital. A pool of blood was found near the fence where it is believed Ayanda spent the night before being dragged in the morning to the fields.

According to Joseph, his son once had a confrontation with Dlamini in the past but he thought that had been sorted. “If Dlamini is claiming that he shot upwards in the air, how did the bullet turn downwards and go for my son’s thig? When I looked at him in the morning the pants he was wearing did not have an opening where the bullet went through” Joseph said. Joseph continued to state that he was grateful that his son did not die yet it was cold at night and he had been wearing only a T-shirt.
