I'm really shocked at this. People are so sick out there, can't even blame this one on nyaope. Dats why I always tell my girl siblings that they should be careful who they date, if they sense some kind of possessiveness and uncontrolled anger in the guy, they shud just get out of the relationship immediately before things escalate into unfortunate incidents such as these.

Imagine this, petrol belong in a car tank. This man take petrol out of the car tank , run straight into the bedroom where his sick wife was sleeping, spray her with petrol and burn her. How sick is that ? Let's say the wife maybe committed something in the past like cheating on him but does she deserve to be petrol bombed. Does anyone remember Rabothapi who k illed 4 of his co-workers in a school staff office? He got 2yrs in a mental hospital in Sterkfontain. This man too will only get 12months in jail or mental hospital, his lawyers will claim he was insane at the time of the murder.

so u say the doctors lie in such cases? men r human aswell u subject a men to ten years of emotional trauma this is what u get at the end as he also has the physical means of acting heywhy, its not women ionly that gets abused, physical abuse is the least seriouse in terms of damage than emotional abuse, men suffer long here due to the lie that is spread all over about man not crying or not being sisies, well hide it, but ten year later it will show up in a bloddy manner and people will judge base on the evetual not the caurse, men should also leave emotionally stressing GFs if we are to lessen these type of behaviour

dont look at it as women-men issue, everyone who has done something wrong in the past deserves whatever comes their way, just like the guy who burnt this women will get what is due to them, the thing is most bloggers r so good at blocking one part of their brain and comment to agree with certain people, whereas looking at this with an open mind, taking consideration of all posibilities might yield different results.

This is a result of women staying abusive relations which degrades them and their children, why didn't she leave this violent beast when the autopsy report of her son was revealed to her? girls abuse always result in death there are very few domestic abuse victims who live to tell the story, don't be a statistic, also shield your children from an abusive relationship they don't deserve to be punched and be shamed against the wall, they don't deserve to live in fear.

I am very disturbed by Mzansi Fo Sho presenter Tshepo Ngwane's statement that he dumped the mother of his child because she allegedly dated an HIV-positive person.

That is selfish and self- righteous. This boy has a super-inflated ego. I challenge the ignorant Ngwane to take a public HIV test.

He does not seem to realise that his statement exposed his stupidity. I don't believe that SABC1 should renew his contract. I don't think we should be watching people like Ngwane on our screens.

From now on, when Ngwane appears on my TV, I will just switch channels. I will not allow a fool to come into my living room.

SABC must educate its staff about HIV because they are supposed to be role models. I really wish Ngwane could take a public HIV test, then publish the results. As a self-confessed playboy, Ngwane cannot be sure of his status.

It's a shame though when a person like him exposes his ignorance like that, and then feels sorry for the woman he intended marrying.

And trying to blame his role in Yizo Yizo does not wash because Zola was in the same production and he is using that experience in a positive way.

men have become endangered species and this is because of the legal system that is more favourable to the eve's version of God's creation. Thus, when a man leaves or divorces his woman/wife he is judged to be a monster who abandoned his family, when a man decide to end the misery he started by killing the wife he is a monster, so whatever a man does he is a monster. so this is a fucked up situation no matter what the man does. Furthermore, women are no longer faithful to their relationships and there is lack of commitment because of materialism and crust, so go a tshwana. God created everything and man and he was pleased and rested and i suppose God is regetting the thought of creating a woman because after a woman was created man and God never rested because trouble began. there is song that asserts that "its all because of a woman". by this i am condoning this killings of women and children but ladies in most cases you are the cause of this misfortunes because some of you are disrespectful, cunning and very bitchy and hell knows no fury than a man pissed off.

After reading, reading, and re-reading this article I just do not blame the husband at all.

I think that the dead lady (a SARS worker, and an Activist) was definitely suicidal (because the article says so); and she must have still been mentally unstable on the day of the incident because it is the same day that she was discharged from hospital for stress.

It is crass when the mother of a child blames his father for the unfortunate death of the child. The pain of losing a child is not the exclusive pain of her mother, it is highly traumatic for the child's father, even more traumatic for the father if the child a boy because buys are their father's protégés!

To me, it sounds like the dead woman was the verbally abusive one in the house. I suspect that she took the petrol out of her car herself hoping that her action will stop her husband from going to a wedding in Limpopo. Literally forcing her husband to join her in being miserable - "emotional blackmail"!

In her miserable, unstable state of mind and without thinking; I just think that she dosed herself with petrol as a desperate trial to blackmail her husband further - but the husband might have dismissed and ignored her nonsense. So in seeking attention, that hyper suicidal lady must have set herself on fire - that explains why the husband hands and feet were burned
