In a bizarre incident, a 32 year old Makwika village woman is facing attempted murder charges after she stabbed her boyfriend over an underwear dispute. Eunice Ngwenya (32) appeared before the Hwange Regional Court, following a domestic dispute that left her boyfriend, Mbekezeli Sibanda, in serious condition.
The incident, which occurred on the 18th of August 2025, began when Ngwenya, Sibanda, and Ngwenya’s sister were walking together. According to court reports, the disagreement erupted over Sibanda’s inner garment, which Ngwenya allegedly refused to return despite his repeated requests.
Following a brief separation, Ngwenya returned to the scene with the garment in hand. However, she had concealed a kitchen knife within it.
As Sibanda reached to reclaim his clothing, Ngwenya allegedly pulled out the knife and stabbed him twice—once in the right arm and once in the right side of his chest Sibanda sustained serious bleeding injuries as a result of the stabbings. Sibanda attempted to seek help from a workmate but was unsuccessful. Despite his injuries, he managed to return home, where a friend assisted him in reporting the matter to the police and obtaining medical treatment.
A medical report confirming the wounds has been compiled and will serve as evidence in this case. Ngwenya was arrested and charged with attempted murder. She is in custody with the court setting her next appearance for on the 5th of September.
