'Cheeky' granny stones son in-law

THE adage that 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' turned out to be true to a Tsholotsho man who was left licking wounds after an old woman, who is his  ex-lover's granny stoned him before striking him with a knob-Kerry.

The Court in Tsholotsho heard that the accused Dumisani Maphosa had long parted ways with his girlfriend but the he had not been happy about the matter since the two ex-lovers have a kid together.

Maphosa, it is alleged, heard that his ex-lover would visit her granny at the same neighborhood where he stayed and decided to visit her with the intention of asking for forgiveness.

Unfortunately upon arrival he was told to leave by the unforgiving ex-girlfriend but this did not go down well with Maphosa prompting him to beat the girl with his hands.

The granny, Lenny Mpofu who was watching allegedly picked a stone and struck Maphosa before attempting to strike him with a knobkerrie. Luckily the man escaped with minor head injuries.

The case was remanded to October 10 (tomorrow).
