A Ugandan national living in South Africa has courted the law the wrong way after allegedly running over his wife’s lover in Sandton, South Africa.
The Ugandan that the South African police has refused to name, ran over his wife’s Zimbabwean lover, Emmanuel Mahamba on 5th April, 2025 around 4:30 PM outside Mzanzi Building at the corner of 12th Avenue and Rivonia Road.
According to reports, the fatal incident was sparked by a relationship dispute involving a Zimbabwean woman named Ntombizodwa, who was allegedly dating both Emmanuel and a Ugandan man.
Mahamba died at the scene after being repeatedly run over in an incident captured on video and widely shared across social media platforms.
The graphic footage shows Mahamba seated on the road while the vehicle is driven over him multiple times.
Mahamba was reportedly in a love triangle with a woman only known as Ntombi and a Ugandan national with whom she had two children.
The fatal confrontation occurred at Ntombi’s workplace, where motorcycle parts are reportedly sold.
Gauteng police said they were still searching for the motorist implicated in the brutal death of a man following a heated dispute.
Meanwhile, Joburg based Zimbabwe lawyer more boys Munetsi said that Mahamba’s body had already been repatriated to Zimbabwe.
Munetsi said he was providing legal support to the victim’s family.
“For now I am giving the family legal support. At the same time, we were encouraging the Zimbabwean community in Joburg to raise funeral money through contributions.
Munetsi held a live conversation with Ntombi, the woman who was involved in a relationship with Mahamba, while she lived with her other romantic partner.
The Ugandan man, who has two children with Ntombi, allegedly murdered Emmanuel in the bakkie attack.
“I agree that I once dated Emmanuel in January, and we broke up in February. Yes, we were in a relationship. We broke up because some Ugandans recorded a video of me when I was with the guy (Emmanuel). My baby daddy is a Ugandan.
“So I broke up with Emmanuel for my safety, for my kids and also for the sake of Emmanuel. I stopped talking to Emmanuel.
Ntombi said on the fateful day, Emmanuel and some Ugandan men who lived at the same house with, came over to her work premises. Ntombi’s baby daddy was already at the business premises, where motorbike parts are sold.
“Later on, I heard some noise, people fighting. When I went outside, I asked Emmanuel what he was doing, but he did not even respond to me; he only looked at me.
“He was holding a stone, and he threw it away. He picked it again and hit the vehicle’s (wind) screen. That is when my baby daddy got angry, went to Emmanuel and beat him,” she said.
