Unfortunately for the 31-year-old lady, on Friday night Ayanda, 32, stormed into her rented house in Jozini, northern KZN and fired bullets into her body.

Sadly, both of them died on the spot. A friend who lives in the neighborhood said they rushed to the scene on Friday night after hearing the gunshots and found the bodies of both of them lying on the floor, bleeding profusely.

According to a relative of Zama, the couple had been fighting a lot lately, adding that the circumstances surrounding the fights was not so clear but they were linked to the fact that Zama wanted to end the relationship.

 “Her boyfriend was jealous and abusive and their fights have been going on for a couple of months. It is not clear how long the two have been dating because neither of them is from the area. They came to the area early this year. Zama worked in Jozini and her boyfriend constantly visited her.”

Confirming the incident, KZN police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane said a case of murder and an inquest docket were opened at Jozini Police Station for investigation.

“Circumstances around the incident are still being investigated,” said Zwane.
