MATSAPHA – Swazi TV News Editor Nkosinathi Dlamini will be forced to strip for the court to display the scars of the injuries he sustained when his wife allegedly bit him on his back.

The editor stands accused of assaulting his wife, Lungile Makhanya, with kicks and open hands in November at Magevini, Matsapha.
Dlamini will be ordered to strip as there are allegations that more scars were inflicted by his wife on other parts of his body.

 He is represented by Sipho Gumedze, who informed the court that his client had also been physically abused by the complainant, who bit him all over his body each time they had an  argumen. The attorney also disputed that the complainant was assaulted and asked her why she did not show the court scars from the alleged assault. Four A4 pictures of the editor, with the scars, were circulated in court. The magistrate, public prosecutor, attorney and the complainant were issued with copies of the pictures of Dlamini half naked.

 It was gathered that Makhanya bit the editor eight times on his back and she alleged in court that it was in retaliation after she was allegedly attacked by Dlamini.

 “If he really assaulted you and exposed you to the highest level of brutality, as you have alleged, how were you able to bite him with your teeth eight times from his back. The scars from his back prove that you attacked him from the back and plunged (sic) your teeth in him several times,” the attorney said. 

Gumedze also revealed that after the editor had been bitten, he did not assault his wife but went to report the matter to the police and further opened an assault case.
