A couple who have been together for 35 years now have four protection orders against each other.
The couple from block NN in Soshanguve, Tshwane, SA. agree that their relationship has come to an end, but they are still living together.
According to Titus Ndebele, his wife Elizabeth sleeps with other men in the house they share, sprinkles muthi (herbal concoctions) in the yard to make him sick and attacks him.
But she denies all the allegations and accuses him of sleeping with young girls and of not supporting her financially.
The Dailysun found that they sleep in separate rooms and even cook their food in separate pots.
Titus (60) told the paper: "Our problems started when I lost my job. I'm tired of being abused in my own house.
"I want this woman to pay. She is no longer sleeping with me and comes to my house with different men and they lock themselves in a room the whole day. When I complain she attacks and insults me.
"Last Monday she stabbed me with a screwdriver while I was asleep. I want her to be arrested so I can live in peace."
But the 46-year-old Elizabeth accused Titus of abusing her when he drinks. "I know nothing about a screwdriver incident. I thought he fell and injured himself," she said.
Warrant Officer Sello Mangena confirmed that an assault case was opened.
"We will soon arrest the woman," Mangena said.
