Three days ago Simphiwe ‘Simz’ Ngema was celebrating the fact that August was her birthday month. Now she’s a widow, refusing to believe that her husband, Dumi Masilela, who she married in a traditional ceremony in May, was gunned down in a botched hijacking in Tembisa on Wednesday night.
“She held him and tried to comfort him in the hours leading to his death. For her it wasn’t a final goodbye because she didn’t think he would die. She thought he would recover,” said family spokesperson Mpumi Phillips.
Masilela and a friend had parked a VW Golf in the road when a black Jeep approached them. They tried to flee from attempted hijackers but a car chase ensued and the occupants of the Jeep opened fire.
