TAXIMAN Nqabomzi Sisalana (62) of KwaDwesi suburb in Port Elizabeth is a very angry man.
He said his wife, from whom he finally separated in 2014, came with her sangoma boyfriend on Saturday afternoon and ransacked his house.
For Nqabomzi this was the final straw after three unhappy years of marriage - and now he wants his R16 000 lobola back!
He told Daily Sun: "I want my lobola back because I'm done with her. I wasn't home when they got into my house.
"She took my towels and clothes and also clothes belonging to my two daughters aged 18 and 20, as well as the curtains."
Nqabomzi said their marriage was rocky from the onset.
"We got married in September 2012. She left me in April 2013 after I rebuked her daughter for strolling in front of me with her boyfriends.
"I disciplined her in the same way I had done with my two daughters, but my new wife became angry and left.
"I tried to bring her back with her daughter several times but she refused. Then last year I gave up on her when I found her living with a boyfriend at her home in Zwide.
"I don't fear the muthi of her boyfriend. I'm a born-again Christian. I haven't opened a case against her. All I want is to get my lobola back. I'm going to meet with my lawyer to process the divorce," Nqabomzi said.
A neighbour (45) said: "I saw his wife and the sangoma taking curtains and clothing. We were peeping through the window.
"This woman had no love for her husband. She was only after his property and money."
His daughter Nosisipho Sisilana (20) said: "I was terrified and I hid myself in a nearby house. I don't know why she took my clothes because she never bought me anything."
A lobola negotiator for the taximan, Sigcwawu Mbombota (70), of Veeplaas, said: "He is right to demand his lobola back."
Daily Sun tried to get a comment from his wife, Zukiswa Sisilana (47), but her phone was answered by a man who refused to give his name, claiming it was the wrong number.
We also sent an SMS but she still didn't respond.
