Zim politician's wife dies in hospital

Nov 28, 2011 | Sapa | 64 comments

A woman has died in a Johannesburg hospital almost a week after her Zimbabwean politician husband shot her before committing suicide, Gauteng police said.

The woman -- named by the Zimbabwe Online Press as Emily Chiota -- died in hospital on Saturday morning, spokeswoman Captain Kim Cloete said.

Last Tuesday Chiota, accompanied by a police officer, went to her estranged husband Justine's house to deliver a protection order.

He opened fire on them, wounding his wife in the upper body and narrowly missing the policeman, before turning the gun on himself.

Justine Chiota was the founding member of the Zimbabwe People's Party.

On Tuesday, Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini said the protection order related to domestic violence.

@Shenene maybe the crime occured in SA but NOT by a SAn (thank God for that) I agree with you, the less we have to read about all these loser countries and what htey are up to the better, cause all that comes out from them is guaranteed to be bad news and to a certain degree a waste of our tax such as hte DRC case with sisulu woman.

RIP. Chiota, yu were a failure in politics, you failed in love, you shall fail again in hell! That is the problem of trying to assimilate the culture of foreign hosts. You end up inheriting their evil minds! i blame S. Africa for this. They taught our man some very bad habits.
