Sex Worker Sentenced to Labour After Fatal Stabbing at Kariba Party
In a separate incident, a sex worker who fatally stabbed her boyfriend during a party in Kariba has been sentenced to perform 620 hours of labour. The High Court judge reasoned that the offender, Sibongile Siyanjalika, had minimal moral blame in the incident.
Fatal Stabbing Amidst Jealousy
The stabbing occurred during the Nyaminyami Festival at Lake Harvest, Kariba, when a scuffle broke out between Sibongile and her boyfriend, Keith Kadziyange. Keith had accused Sibongile of interacting with male patrons while they were both working as cleaners at the outdoor event. Consumed by jealousy, Keith assaulted Sibongile, dragging her, which prompted her to break an empty bottle and attack him on the neck. Keith suffered profuse bleeding and tragically lost his life as a result.
