Dead woman 'gets revenge' on little sister who stole her husband

A woman believes her dead sister got her revenge on her younger sister after the latter started sleeping with the widower soon after the death.

Priscilla's body was still lying in the mortuary when her youngest sister, Didiza was reportedly already sleeping with Freddy, the dead woman's husband.

Patricia Langa from Kanana section in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, who is now 53 said she believes Freddy's death was no accident.

She said when Freddy Shivambo died on a construction site, it was Priscilla taking her husband back.

Freddy died in 2005 when the wall of an excavation collapsed, crushing him.

Patricia believes Priscilla and her beloved Freddy were happily reunited in heaven and that her dead sister claimed her revenge.

Priscilla Langa died of cancer in 1995.

"But just after her death, my youngest sister took over her husband," said Patricia.

"She would sneak away and sleep with him in the same bed Priscilla lay in as she died."

She said the family was shocked and disappointed when they caught her.

"But she was not shy about her actions," said Patricia.

"Later she even left her husband in Boksburg and brought all her belongings to her dead sister's house."

Patricia said she never expected she would betray her own blood sister.

"When her husband tried to take her back she told him she loved Freddy and he should forget about her," said Patricia.

The family said they tried to talk to her but she never listened to anyone.

In 1997 the two had children together and after Freddy died in 2005 the sister stayed on in the house.

But in December, when she sold the house and threw out Priscilla's children, the community became involved.

They vow no one will ever occupy the house.

On Wednesday night, residents chased away the truck carrying a buyer's belongings.

Community leader Zamile Zimumane said the house belongs to the kids.

"We will all die or be arrested for this house. We will never allow her greed to ruin the kids' lives."
