WHEN Mbhekiseni Buthelezi left his two fiancees at home and went to vat and sit with his sugar mama, his family cursed him.
However, the 34-year-old said only death could part him from his 49-year-old sweetheart.
And tragically, this was exactly what happened on Wednesday when he and his sugar mama, Sithombe Maphumulo, were shot dead while they were sleeping at Sithombe’s home in Dendethu, near KwaDukuza in KZN.
When Sithombe’s relatives were approached by the SunTeam they refused to comment.
Mbhekiseni’s mum, Gcina Buthelezi (51), said her son paid lobola for his two fiancees in December 2014 and brought them to live with his family.
“But after only two months, he left them to go and live with Sithombe.
“We tried to speak to him but he told us only death could separate him from his older sweetheart.
“His fiancees were very hurt. The family was also hurt and even cursed him but he wouldn’t listen,” she said.
Mbhekiseni’s fiancee, Bongiwe Ntanzi (28) said although she was angry with her man she didn’t wish him death.
“As his fiancees, we felt dumped by our man and we also cursed him but we were waiting for him to come home,” said Bongiwe.
“When we received the news that he had died, our hearts were sore.
“If only he had listened to his elders and stayed with us, maybe he would still be alive.
“However, I forgive him and I hope he rests in peace,” she said.
Major Thulani Zwane said two counts of murder had been opened for investigation at Nsuze cop shop.
“No arrests have been made and the motive for the murders is still unknown,” said Zwane.
