The department of arts, sport and culture has issued its condolence to the family of Nomasonto Mshoza Maswanganyi.
Husband to Kwaito star Nomasonto Maswanganyi, popularly known as Mshoza, is out on R5 000 bail after he handed himself over to the Phuthaditjhaba police on Monday.
Thuthukani Mvula, 41, who paid lobola for Mshoza six months ago, faces charges of assault, intimidation and pointing a firearm after a fight with his wife.
According to reports, Phuthaditjhaba police said Mvula handed himself in on Monday. The couple have decided to call it quits with Mshoza accusing her husband of threatening to kill her.
Mshoza is in hiding from her husband, alleging he had sent hitmen to attack her in Phuthaditjhaba, Free State, last week.
This followed more reports that Mvula kicked Mshoza out of their home in Bergville, KwaZulu-Natal, and burned her clothes in a fit of rage. Mvula, however, alleges to have found his Kwaito star wife cheating.
The 35-year-old Mshoza spoke of a dramatic relationship, where she was forced to tolerate her husband’s infidelity.
“I was planning to escape, but unfortunately he was quicker than me. I bought a house, and was planning on running for the past six months, but I didn’t know how to run,” Mshoza said, answering a question on how it had gotten to that point.
She said her husband looked innocent, but was a dangerous man, and alleged he would not hesitate “killing someone”.
“This guy is still dangerous, as innocent as he looks. He is dangerous,” she said, adding she no longer felt safe.
She said they both cheated, and it was when her husband realised she also had found comfort in the arms of another man that he turned violent.
The Kwaito hit maker gave details of receiving messages from his husband’s mistresses.
“I even got angry because some girls would send me videos of them making love to him.”
“He did not deny it,” she said he would even cheat with her friends. When she attempted to leave, he allegedly said: “You know where your grave is.”
In the recent fallout that led to Mshoza going into hiding, Mvula allegedly sent out hitmen in three vehicles. She said he assaulted her with a gun and took her phone, car and weave to show her he was leaving her with nothing.
According to The Sowetan, Mvula has denied the allegations. He said he went to Phuthaditjhaba to fetch his car and found her with another man.
The tabloid said Mvula accused Mshoza of plotting with her ‘police’ boyfriend. Mvula also dismissed the claims he assaulted his wife with a firearm.
