FLOYD Mayweather fights for hundreds of thousands of dollars with other men but one Patron Ndlovu (36) gave his best when he beat up his wife over $5.
A food tray landed on his wife Bridget Nkomoa��s face causing harm and to avoid danger she fled to a neighboura��s house but Ndlovu followed.
When he caught up with her he unleashed a series of punches with no intention of stopping. Had it not been for the neighbour, therea��s no telling how far he could have gone.
a�?He picked up a tray that he used to hit me on the face and I sustained a swollen eye and started bleeding from the nose. I ran to my neighboursa�� house but he followed and punched me until my neighbour intervened and restrained him,a�? Nkomo retold the story in front of Bulawayo magistrate Tinashe Tashaya.
Ndlovu who was facing a domestic violence charge didna��t dispute the accusations. He however, blamed alcohol for his actions.
a�?It was not my intention to hurt my wife, she is the one who started by biting me on the butt and out of anger I hit her. I was drunk. Please forgive me,a�? he pleaded.
The court heard that Ndlovu went to drink with his friends and on his return asked his wife about a $5 note he had allegedly left with her. But Nkomo told him that therea��s no money he left behind with her. Out of anger Ndlovu beat her up.
Luckily for him, Nkomo withdrew the case before plea but that didna��t stop the magistrate from issuing a stern warning. .
