According to a Facebook post by one Gillian Mogale, Mndayi arrived home late from her shift and was allegedly subjected to physical assault and ultimately stabbed multiple times by her boyfriend, identified as Bongani.

“Upon her arrival home at Metropolitan flat in Berea, she was insulted, beaten, and ultimately stabbed multiple times right in front of her kids by her boyfriend, BONGANI, who is known as Luuk De Jong on Facebook. She is currently fighting for her life in hospital.”

A non-profit organisation, Women For Change, working to combat gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa, said in a statement on Monday that the boyfriend fled the scene after locking the injured Mndayi and her children indoors.

The statement read, “Khanyisile Vanessa Mndayi, 27, was stabbed more than twenty times, allegedly by her boyfriend, in front of their children on May 26, 2024. Khanyisile is currently in a coma, fighting for her life.

“It is alleged that the boyfriend stabbed Khanysile multiple times in their home in Berea, Johannesburg. He then locked Khanysile and the children, who witnessed the gruesome attack, in the house.”

He was, however, arrested when he allegedly returned with the intention of inflicting further harm, the statement revealed.

It added, “The boyfriend took his belongings, leaving the severely injured Khanysile and the children behind.

“Neighbours alerted the police, and when the boyfriend came back to allegedly continue to stab Khanyisile, police were able to arrest him.

“We pray for Khanysisile’s healing and recovery and call for justice for her and her children!”

Recall that a United Kingdom-based Nigerian man, Olubunmi Abodunde, had in April beat his wife, Taiwo, to death with their son’s skateboard.

The couple, who had three children, were reported to have arrived in the UK from Nigeria in 2022 and always clashed over alleged affairs and arguments about bills.

“The closure was prompted by repeated complaints and a recent incident in which a golf ball struck a LASBCA staff member in its Ikeja Headquarters premises.

“In addition to this unfortunate incident, there have been multiple cases of errant golf balls causing damage to vehicles in the vicinity.”

The agency further noted that stray golf balls had been reported causing damage to vehicles in the area, with the club’s management allegedly ignoring repeated instructions to implement necessary safety measures such as protective netting or modified play areas.

Expressing his disappointment, LASBCA General Manager, Gbolahan Oki, criticized the club’s management and players for their apparent disregard for public safety.

The unions, under JAC, began an indefinite strike on Monday due to four months of unpaid salaries, leading to a shutdown of university activities nationwide.

SSANU National President Mohammed Ibrahim noted that top university officials, including Vice-Chancellors, bursars, and registrars, also hadn’t been paid, further impacting university operations.

He added that 98% of members complied with the strike, and they will not return to work until their demands are met.

He said, “It is a long-term battle because this strike also involves Vice-Chancellors, bursars, registrars, and other senior administrators who were not paid. The impact is significant, and no one from the government has reached out to us. We have withdrawn our services, and our members are resolute they will not return to work until all salaries are paid.”
