In most cases, a man wants nothing to do with his children after a divorce although there are exceptions like Mr. Bigboy Ndlovu from Gwanda.
Unfortunately, Bigboy was nearly made to pay with his life for being an exception to the perceived norm.
In a shocking development, Ndlovu was axed by his brother-in-law and ex-wife for requesting to have custody of his three children.
Fikile Moyo (33) from Mzimuni Village and Vumubuhle Moyo (38) from Insindi are expected to appear at the Gwanda Regional Court on September 23 facing charges of attempted murder.
The matter will proceed by way of summons.
The State alleges Vumubuhle and her brother Fikile teamed up and attacked her ex-husband, Mr. Bigboy Ndlovu on the 3rd of May 2019.
Fikile came back in the company of his sister while armed with a wooden stick and an axe. Fikile struck the complainant with the axe on the head.
The State papers stated that the complainant was unconscious following the attack and the accused persons fled from the scene.
Ndlovu was assisted by other villagers who rushed him to the hospital. The matter was reported to the police resulting in the arrest of the brother and sister.
