Tragic Love Affair Ends in Double Tragedy: Young Man Butchers Girlfriend, Commits Suicide

Trigger Warning: This article contains details of violence, murder, and suicide that may be distressing for some readers.

A quiet village neighborhood in Manguzi at Thandizwe area has been left shell-shocked following a tragic incident that took place last week. Senzo Mthombeni, a 30-year-old resident of the area, brutally murdered his girlfriend Fezile Gumede (22) on Wednesday 15 March 2023 in front of their two-year-old child before taking his own life shortly 

When neighbours arrived on the scene, they found Fezile's body lying in a pool of blood with multiple cut wounds while Senzo had hanged himself in his home room.


The young couple had been together for several years. 


According to relatives of the victims, the couple's child is said to have been crying endlessly since this traumatic event occurred. The toddler remains in the care of the family as authorities investigate the incident.


This heartbreaking news further highlights the ongoing crisis of gender-based violence in South Africa. While laws have been enacted to protect women and children from violent crimes, many victims continue to suffer due to lack of enforcement or reporting.


In addition to advocating for legal protections, it is crucial to provide support for survivors and family members affected by gender-based violence. Children who witness such acts must also receive appropriate counseling to help them cope with trauma.


We offer our sincerest condolences to Fezile and Senzo's families and friends during this difficult time. We hope that authorities will continue to work towards preventing such tragedies from occurring in the future by raising awareness about domestic violence and addressing its underlying causes.
