Woman to apply for bail after allegedly shooting ex with AK-47 in Pietermaritzburg
A woman charged with the attempted murder of the father of her child is due to again appear in court later this month.
Nokulunga Penelope Mthethwa (39), who allegedly shot her ex-boyfriend and the father of her child with an AK-47 last month, appeared in the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
She faces a charge of attempted murder and intends to apply for bail.
The victim, who lives in Azalea, is still in hospital.
Mthethwa’s family members, present at the hearing, declined to comment when approached by The Witness.
Mthethwa’s arrest followed the circulation of a viral video showing a woman standing over an injured man, who was lying on the ground after allegedly being shot by her with an assault rifle.
Mthethwa is in custody at Westville Correctional Centre.
She is scheduled to return to court on February 17 for her bail application.
