[BREAKING NEWS] Burundian Pastor Arrested After Allegedly Stabbing South African Woman More Than 40 Times Because Her Brother Supports March and March, After His Church was Shutdown
March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma revealed that a woman is fighting for her life after she was allegedly stabbed more than 40 times by a Burundian pastor in an attack that has left a family devastated. The suspect was arrested after the incident, while the victim remains in intensive care.
Speaking outside the home of artist Pastor Mjosty, whom March and March publicly acknowledged on 30 June for supporting the movement, Ngobese-Zuma said she received a call from him reporting the incident. She said the victim is Pastor Mjosty's sister and that her young daughter was also stabbed during the attack.
According to Ngobese-Zuma, the woman had previously attended a church run by the Burundian pastor before it was closed. She later joined another church. Ngobese-Zuma alleged that after March and March acknowledged Pastor Mjosty, the pastor contacted the woman to question why her brother supported the movement. She said the woman replied that her brother was free to support whoever he wanted.
Ngobese-Zuma alleged the suspect arrived at the woman's home during the early hours of the morning and stabbed her more than 40 times before attacking her daughter. She said a neighbour chased after the suspect and alerted police, leading to his arrest. She also claimed the suspect had become a car guard after the church closed and described him as a trained soldier.
A later update alleged that the Burundian pastor and the woman had previously been in a relationship. It was further claimed that about a year ago she obtained a protection order against him. According to the update, the suspect later resumed contacting her, saying he believed she ended the relationship because her brother disliked him due to his support for March and March.
The latest update also states that the suspect is currently in hospital after allegedly attempting to take his own life while in a holding cell and is reportedly behaving erratically. The allegations were shared by March and March, while the woman remains in intensive care following the attack.

Haai this Aviwe guy on eNCA. Hope he sees this because his reporting today was disappointing.
"Children were injured"
You showed the first two kids, traumatised. Some of the residents insisted that they not be put on a police van.
Few minutes later there was a lady (dress d in black) who came out with 2 kids and one had a little blood on her nose.
By your report the viewers would think these kids were beaten up and left bloodied or maimed.
Yes, the visuals were disturbing. To see those kids so scared was hurtful to watch. It was a traumatizing scene and anyone with some semblance of humanity in them would have been touched and outraged.
There were people there with you in the group who kept saying "we don't touch the kids". A gentleman with the first kids you reported on even said on camera; "I am a parent. We can't have kids be traumatised like this".
Stop sensationalizing your reports. You are not helping the situation. It's like you want this to escalate.
Unless there was another incident involving kids that he didn't show on air.
The words he is using ... "Mayhem" "Fury" etc.
Not once have you mentioned what the protesters are telling you that the private security open fire on them. You haven't even mentioned the name of the company.
Another glaring moment in your reporting today is; earlier in the day when you went with police into a yard, and a guy in there told you he is from Malamulela. He spoke xitsonga but you proceeded to pester him about where he is from... In clear earshot of the protesters who walked in with you thus putting his safety in jeopardy.
Don't be the story! Let the facts drive the narrative.
These are the kids you initially said were injured during a live crossing to you during the day ๐๐ฝ.
NOTE: Again ... no kids should be harmed or traumatised unnecessarily. All laws should be abided by.
JUNE 30 PROTESTS | Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni says: "There's no apartheid government destabilising any country now, 32 years on, so we must all take responsibility for ensuring political stability in our countries." She adds that "there's no single country that will carry the burden of others".
Getting robbed is already traumatic. Now imagine finding out the person who robbed you is an undocumented immigrant.
You report it to the police, the police tell you to be grateful you're still alive.๐
