Landlord hits woman with a brick on her head

The 31-year-old woman of 2nd Avenue said she arrived home from Thembisa to find her landlord waiting for her. The landlord demanded to know where she had gone and that she keep him informed of all her movements in future.

“Awungeke uze ukubone lokho”, (I will never do that) insisted the woman in IsiZulu and the angry landlord then picked up a brick and hit her on the head. While lying on the ground, the landlord is said to have kicked her and pulled her up by the hair.

A case of common assault was opened and the landlord arrested. Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela said the suspect would appear in the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court.
