Lobola fight mars Sithole family burial NCEBA DLADLA

W

hile it is not clear why Gabula Qaga (51) shot dead his wife, Nandipha Sithole-Qaga (32) his sister-in-law Zizipho Sithole (27), his son Cwenga (6) and himself on Friday night, questions are also being raised about lobola which has allegedly not been paid. It is, however, a known fact that seconds before she was shot and killed by her raging husband, Nandipha threw their last-born child Phumelele (3) through the window, saving him from death. The event, in which about eight gunshots were fired, led to the death of four members of the family and the residents of Saxwila Street, NU29 Motherwell, reeling in shock. Express Indaba visited the family on Monday when relatives from outside Port Elizabeth were still trickling in to hold prayers as well as share the grief with the Sitholes who were still dumbfounded. “Why would he (Gabula Qaga) do something like this? What is it that they could not solve together, by talking?” asked Mphumzi Sithole (59) the father who has lost two daughters and a grandson in the shooting. Continued on page 3

‘That family asked for a hand in marriage but they never came to pay lobola. We were still waiting for them and only saw the ring on Nandipha’s finger.’ ­ MPHUMZI SITHOLE
