A four-year-old girl was forced to look on as two men hacked her father to death.
The dead man's wife said they were asleep in their shack in Namibia in Mangaung, Free State, when the men knocked on the door on Sunday night at about 10pm.
"When I opened the door two men armed with a panga and axe pushed me inside the shack," she said.
"They said they wouldn't do anything to me but were only there to get my husband.
"When they started attacking him I ran outside to try and get help."
She said earlier that day her neighbour, a female traditional healer, was outside her shack with four armed men.
"She threatened me. She told me she didn't have a husband and I wouldn't have a husband either," she said.
She said the healer made moves on her husband about two years ago but was spurned.
The woman believes that the healer organised the men to murder her husband, but the police could not confirm that they were looking for the traditional healer.
Captain Harry Nagel said the Kopanong police arrested two men.
But one of them was released due to lack of evidence.
