PIGG’S PEAK – An alleged love triangle almost ended tragically when a house
was petrol-bombed allegedly by a Form IV pupil in an attempt to burn his rival,
a Form I scholar.
This is said to have happened around Nginamadvolo, where Sethu Mavuso allegedly
attacked a boy he claimed was dating his girlfriend.
The name of the boy who is in Form I in one of the local schools will not be
mentioned for ethical reasons.
Mavuso, on the other hand, is said to be 20 years old and is also enrolled in
one of the schools around Pigg’s Peak.
Following the incident, he was swiftly arrested by the police and has already
made an appearance before Pigg’s Peak Magistrate Sabelo Khumalo, charged with
attempted murder.
He was remanded in custody.
Mavuso is alleged to have launched a revenge attack after accusing him of dating
the same girl he was interested in.
It is alleged that on the day of the incident, Mavuso first took some alcoholic
beverages and later bought some petrol from one of the filling stations in
Pigg’s Peak.
He is then said to have proceeded to Nginamadvolo to his rival’s home.
Upon arrival there, Mavuso is alleged to have petrol bombed the house where his
intended target was sleeping.
It is unclear how he got to know precisely that the boy was sleeping in that
particular room.
However, just when the fire started, the boy is said to have woken up and
escaped through a window, unhurt.
Had he woken up a little later, the boy would have burnt inside the house as the
fire spread very quickly.
