BLOODBATH An innocent life unnecessarily lost. Mukhodeni Makamu (6 months), whose head was bashed in at the local clinic.
Sad end ... Uanndwela Muthabi (23) was mercilessly murdered.
Mother and baby killed with brick By Elmon Tshikhudo An argument over the custody of a four-year-old child between a fighting couple ended tragically, when the man went berserk, killing his wife and a six-month-old baby. The gruesome incident took place in front of shocked staff and community members at the Tshiombo Clinic last Friday afternoon. It is alleged the couple, Dumisani Makamu (32) and his wife Uanndwela Muthabi (23) of Mianzwi-Matondoni outside Thohoyandou were in the pro-
cess of finalising their separation at the local social worker’s offices when a heated argument ensued. It is suspected that their differences stemmed from a number found on the woman’s cellphone. The husband is said to have been suspicious of the number and to have called it. According to a police report, it is alleged that the owner of the number introduced himself as the husband of the woman and also told the man the couple’s last-born child was in fact his child. The information allegedly incensed the husband, who confronted his wife

with the information. She then allegedly confessed to having met the man once while they were working together during the Fifa World Cup games. This apparently infuriated the man, who called his sisters, who are also based in Pretoria, and told them that he was parting ways with his wife. Ms Mavis Makamu, the man’s mother, said the couple arrived home on Wednesday. “They were happy and did not show any signs of strain, and I did not suspect anything even though I knew they had problems,” she said. She said she went
to sleep, but was later awoken by her son who told her he had a problem with his wife. She said she tried to console him, even quoting from the Bible on divorce, but he told her that he had made up his mind and that they were divorcing. She said they agreed that they would be going to meet the wife’s mother in an effort to iron out the matter. “We went to Thohoyandou, but her mother was not there as promised. Instead, she sent a certain man who is said to be the wife’s uncle,” she said. She added that her son refused to talk
to the man and said he was going to the social workers at Thohoyandou. He was referred back to the Tshiombo office. Ms Makamu said they were together at the Tshiombo offices when an argument ensued over the custody of the other child, Tsakani. “They argued there and at one time I was even ordered out of the office. All the time I could hear Dumisani complaining that the female social worker was taking sides in favour of the wife,” she said. - Continues on p2
