Catfight By Elmon Tshikhudo

A drinking spree for two drinking “sisters” ended in a bloody mess when the two were involved in a violent fight. The two women enjoyed themselves at one of the beer joints in Thohoyandou on Saturday afternoon. Everything seemed to be going well as they were dancing to the music while drinking their beers. They were in the company of some men, who also bought beer for them from time to time. The peace was interrupted when a man, who is said to be in love with both the women, arrived and bought a bottle of beer for one of them. That was when one of the two women saw red. An ugly war of words is said to have ensued and escalated

into a dirty fight. As the fight intensified, the two women were ejected from the tavern and they continued to fight outside. Eyewitness Dakalo Magau of Tswinga, who happened to be there when the incident occurred, said Maggie Maliga, who resides at the nearby Tswinga village, was seriously injured. “These women fought and disturbed the peace at the tavern and had to be removed outside, where they continued hitting each other with fists. They apparently started using any object they could lay their hands on when they were tired. They stabbed each other with beer bottles, hitting each other with bricks and also bit each other,” he added. He said the older one started bleeding heavily after a chunk of flesh was bitten off from her mouth. She also suffered another terrible blow to her ear and it was almost detached from her head. The fight stopped and the badly injured woman decided to go to the police station to report the matter. She collapsed on her way. That was when a large crowd of onlookers gathered and some tried to administer first aid while waiting for an ambulance and the police. A bystander who had kicked the badly injured woman received instant justice when he was beaten up by men who had been helping the injured woman. “I have never seen such a fierce and ugly fight between women. What shocked me most was when they started biting each other and when a large chunk of flesh was bitten off from one of the women,” said Magau. Thohoyandou police spokesperson Major Mashudu Malelo said a suspect, Livhuwani Maliga of Mapate, was arrested in connection with the case. The 28-year-old suspect appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court on Monday and was charged with assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. “She has been warned to The mutilated Maggie Maliga (31), whose lip was partly bitten off appear again when the victim is discharged from during a fight with her sister. hospital,” said Malelo.
