A ZIMBABWEAN man was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, last Thursday.  He had asked her why she returned home late in a drunken stupor.

H-Metro claims that Banele Ncube from Bulawayo, aged 32, was based in KwaZulu Natal along with his unidentified wife and was reportedly stabbed upon questioning the woman.

According to close sources the woman, who is also a Zimbabwean, could not stand being questioned.

"Eish guys he was stabbed by his woman and we are still to come to terms with his death.

"I understand tragedy struck after he asked the woman why she had come home late and also appeared visibly drunk," revealed a source from South Africa.

"I'm informed the wife got home drunk then he asked where she was coming from before the wife pulled a knife and stabbed him.

"It was that marriage where the wife took alcohol while the man was of sober habits."

A distraught close relative said he was saddened that this same woman Banele had taken from Zimbabwe to South Africa had viciously killed him. "What pains me is that Banele took this woman from Zimbabwe, and this is how she thanks him.

"If she was a woman he had met in South Africa ngabe sithi kumbe ngumoya wakhonake, kodwa hayike ngusisi wakhonapha ekhaya owayazi leyo Gott ngenxa ka Banele ophenduke wava ngusatane." (Had she met the woman in South Africa, then we would be saying he had not taken time to know her but the sad thing is he is the one who took the woman to South Africa). Banele could have presumably sensed that he was in danger from this woman if his Facebook posts that he posted between October 2016 and this year are anything to. "She can't destroy me, I wish kwakungalanto okuthiwa luthando emhlabeni, Ufudu luyohlala lulufudu, Ungaluphakamisa liyethuka lukutshekele (I wish there was nothing called love, a tortoise will always be a tortoise, if you lift it, it will get scared and shit on you). "Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future," read some of his posts. Distraught relatives and friends have been expressing shock and disbelief on Facebook following the tragedy. "Kanti umuntu nxa esekucaphula kutheni ungathathi imtshaqana yakho ukwantshe kulokuthi umenze isihluku esinje wena ubusiyafela ejele? Abantwana bakho labakhe besale bezintanane ngenxa yokuthi awukwanisi kuzibamba? "Nxa kuyikuthi bekulotshwala phakathi ngcono sibunathe sihlanganisa lamanzi ngoba this is not on... No one deserves to die like this for ANY reason at all," read one of the Facebook posts.

"If someone is fed up in a relationship, why not just pack bags and leave than to kill someone, now your children will not have a father just because someone failed to control herself

"Rest in peace Ncube and your killer she must suffer and feel the pain she caused your family and friends and die behind bars feeling so sad and pain lalakahle mfowethu (rest in peace my brother)," read another post before his family

The deceased's body is expected to arrive in Bulawayo tomorrow.
