A cheating man was hospitalized with serious burns to the chest after his wife poured boiling water on his chest, a court heard.
Gugulethu Mathe, 27, of Dollar Extension in Inyathi, allegedly lost her rage after Jabulani Dube, 35, started dating her friend, she told Bulawayo magistrate Stephen Ndlovu yesterday.
"I was hurt and I wanted revenge. I ask the court to forgive me because I've children to take care of," Mathe was quoted in a local publication.
Mathe, who pleaded guilty to assault, was sentenced to a wholly suspended six month jail term. She was ordered to perform 105 hours of community service at Inyathi Police Station.
