October 29, 2025

A MAN who was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for assaulting his fiancée, and apologised with two goats, has had his appeal on sentence dismissed by the Pietermaritzburg High Court after claiming that the sentence is harsh.

- NOMONDE ZONDI

In 2023, the perpetrator Philani Mcebo Zondi went for a drive with his fiancée. They had been drinking, and he reportedly fell asleep in his parked car due to intoxication. Upon waking, his fiancée was gone, so he drove to her residence to look for her. There, he saw his fiancée getting out of a Toyota Quantum belonging to her ex-boyfriend. Zondi grabbed a wheel spanner and assaulted the ex-boyfriend.

As the ex-boyfriend fled, Zondi deliberately put the Quantum in motion, jumped out, and allowed it to crash into a bush, causing damage.
