A DOUBLE funeral was held yesterday for a local businessman, who mercilessly strangled and killed his mistress following a row over infidelity and money.

Mandlenkosi Dube (38) throttled Precious Dube (29) to death on December 23 before driving at top speed into a head-on collision with a bus.

The two were buried yesterday at Umvutsha Park Cemetery in Bulawayo, with both families still yet to convene to discuss the matter. Hundreds of people, who included businesspeople, politicians, friends and family gathered at Mandlenkosi’s grave, which was some distance from that of his mistress, whose burial was attended by few friends and family.

It was a gloomy and tense atmosphere as Mandlenkosi’s family and friends appeared to expect Precious’ family to confront them at the site. Murmurs could be heard from mourners, particularly friends who were ready to pounce to defend their late friend in case there was an incident.

“We have to be sturdy, sharp, and keep an eye out for our friend. In as much as what he did cannot be condoned, let us at least have him go out in the peace he deserves,” said a male mourner.
