The South African Police Service (Saps) said preliminary investigations indicate that, during the early hours of the morning, the husband allegedly arrived home with another woman while his two children were present.
The children reportedly contacted their 40-year-old mother, who was staying nearby.
According to the police, the wife allegedly arrived home and found her husband with the other woman in their bedroom.
“She allegedly armed herself with a knife and stabbed both of them. The deceased reportedly managed to flee the house but collapsed outside the yard, where she succumbed to her injuries,” the Saps said.
