“Since the incident, we’ve been locking ourselves inside the house. The kids are no longer going to school because he keeps calling and threatening to harm us,” said the woman.

Recalling the terrifying attack, she told the Zululand Observer that the suspect had jumped over the fence and hid behind the water tank before ambushing her as she stepped out to move her car.

“He came out with a huge knife. I fell to the ground, and he stabbed me in the chest in front of my children. I screamed for help, and my brother and sister rushed to my rescue, but he had already stabbed me,” she recounted.

The woman confirmed that she has opened a case at eSikhawini SAPS, but the suspect remains at large.
