20yr old woman charged with assault for throwing boiling hot water on ex and two others

Isaac Ngobe, aged 27, from Phiva near Malalane in Mpumalanga, SA, claimed his ex poured an entire five litres of boiling water over him as he relaxed with his cousins at home two weeks ago...

 "We broke up three weeks ago. I thought things would be civil between us," he said. "I was surprised when she came into the room with a bucket full of hot water. She said, ‘Yeah, you Clever!’ and then threw the hot water in my face. When she tossed it the second time, it all landed on my 'manhood', scalding it badly. My two cousins were also burned."

Isaac said she also calls him from private numbers, sends him text messages and tells him about his every move and who he’s with. "Just last week she threatened to kill an innocent woman I met on the street and chatted with," he said. "She sent an SMS that read: ‘dis jst a sweet warning farm boi. dnt worry abt ur little prostitute . . .’ and, ‘dnt push me far . . . i kill once I wl kill again. i wl mk ur lyf lv in hell dnt try me. Ur galfrnd its beautiful I knw wher 2 gt her. if u wnt her disapper continu being wit her’.” Isaac’s cousin Amos Ngomane (30), who was also burnt, said: "I lost my job as a result of my burn wounds and I can’t see clearly." Melusi Ngomane (16) was also burned.

When phoned, the woman said she would speak to Daily Sun when she is ready. Lieutenant Mzwandile Nyambi said the woman was arrested on Friday for assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

She appeared in court on Monday, September 21 and was released on R500 bail. She will appear in court again on 5 October.
