WHEN Gertrude Khumalo from suburb in Port Elizabeth
decided to visit her elderly father Mjuza Khumalo who stays at Sotshangane
Flats she was full of smiles not knowing that she was going to have a nasty
surprise from her old man.
Gertrude was in extreme shock when she found her
father in the comfort of another woman who was apparently giving him the time
of his life.
However, all hell broke loose when she started
assaulting the woman while accusing her of squandering her father’s money and
subsequently causing him to neglect her mother who stays in the rural areas.
When Mjuza tried to rescue his alleged lover from
the daring daughter, he however, got more than what he had bargained for when
Gertrude severely clobbered him while accusing him of being disrespectful to
her mother.
As a result of the attack Mjuza sustained a loose
tooth and last Friday he approached the Port Elizabeth Civil Court seeking a
restraining order against his daughter.
“I want the court to assist me by granting a
protection order against my daughter Gertrude Khumalo who does not respect me
as her father. She came to my place and became violent after she found me with
another person in the house. At first she started having an altercation with
that person and when I tried to restrain her from assaulting her, she turned
against me and assaulted me.
“As a result of the attack I sustained a loose
tooth. Gertrude and other children Reinford and Bhekinkosi are always coming to
my house to threaten me so that I give them money from tenants yet they do not
not help me
when I have problems, especially the other time when I fell sick,” said Mjuza.
In response, Gertrude refuted her father’s
accusations saying he was the one who tried to attack her after she questioned
him about the woman she found him with in the house.
“I didn’t physically assault him. What happened is
that when I visited him at his house I found him in the company of another
woman. Just imagine my mother is alive and staying in the rural areas where she
is struggling to make ends meet yet he is spending money on other women.
“When I asked who the woman was, he ordered me get
out of the house and in the process he tried to attack me. I grabbed his hands
and we wrestled with each other and that is when he sustained a loose tooth,”
said Gertrude.
In his ruling presiding magistrate warned and
cautioned Gertrude sternly warning her not to assault her father.
