Woman dies in stabbing linked to dispute over allegedly cheating boyfriend.
A 39-year-old woman has been charged with murder after a 34-year-old woman was stabbed to death at a residential property in Gcolotela Street, Ngangelizwe township, late on Tuesday night. Police claim the attack was sparked by a love triangle dispute between two tenants living under the same roof.
Police spokesperson Captain Welile Matyolo said that the incident occurred at approximately 11pm on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
The two women, both renting accommodation at the same Ngangelizwe address, reportedly became embroiled in a heated argument after the suspect allegedly accused her boyfriend of being romantically involved with the deceased.
"During the altercation, the suspect reportedly produced a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times in the upper body," Matyolo said.
