The deceased identified as Peter Nyirenda died at Retreat Clinic in Capetown after suffering from neck related complications which he sustained after he was allegedly stabbed by his spouse following a domestic dispute.

The late Mr Nyirenda was first admitted to Groote Schuur hospital where he was treated for neck complications before being discharged.

It is alleged that the deceased was asked to leave his friend’s house after his condition deteriorated as he was of no fixed abode.

This is according to a statement issued by first secretary press and public relations at Zambia’s high commission to South Africa Naomi Nyawali.
