This is just terrible and barbaric.
Nomonde Soloshe found that out what
savagery is when her former boyfriend
attacked her current lover of four
years at his home in Malunga Park,
Gugulethu on Tuesday night.
Mbuyiselo Manona was stabbed on the
left side of his chest, in his neck and
had a bite mark on the right side of his
face.
Neighbours were alerted to this vicious
attack by Manona's tenant who rented
a room at the back of his house. They
witnessed the mutilation by peeping
through windows.
"When we got there the man kept
muttering 'I am the king' and
declaring his undying love for the
woman. He then cut the heart out
and ate it before the police came
and took him away," a witness said.
"On the scene they found a
suspect, a Zimbabwean national,
busy eating the heart of a human
with a knife and fork," police
spokesman Frederick van Wyk told
the Cape Times said.
The woman at the centre of the love
triangle told police that her former
lover had visited the house where she
was living with her current partner and
they had chatted together before he
gave her money to buy liquor and she
left.
When she returned she found her
partner, 62-year-old Mbuyiselo
Manona, had been stabbed, Van Wyk
said.
Neighbours alerted by the commotion
said they had peered through the
house windows to see the man cutting
out Manona's heart and eating it.
"The whole situation was crazy. We
were shouting at him to stop, but he did
not listen," one neighbour said.
"Even when the police got here... the
guys were scared to go in. They had to
call for back-up.
"You can't really blame them - how do
you go into a room with someone
dripping another person's blood out of
his mouth?"
Western Cape deputy police
commissioner Sharon Jephta said the
motive for the murder was "definitely a
love triangle".
Clinical psychologist Ian Meyer
described the act of removing
Manona's heart as a "primitive symbol
of triumph." Such cannibalism does exist
but is uncommon in South Africa.
