Some men do not like confrontation or else they will respond viciously. A�

Langton Maphosa was to learn later when he quizzed Prince Sibanda why he was making moves on his girlfriend during a drinking spree in Bulawayoa��s New Lobengula suburb.

With a bruised ego, after the accusations, Sibanda allegedly left the drinking spot only to return armed with a kitchen knife and approached Maphosa.

It is alleged Sibanda did not say a word but plunged the knife into Maphosaa��s chest and he fell down. That was just the beginning, he then drove it with force into Maphosaa��s back and left it stuck there.

Luckily Maphosa is still alive today and found the strength to talk to B-Metro.

a�?I made a mistake when I was dead drunk. I accused Prince of nagging my girlfriend. As a result an argument arose and he stabbed me twice with a kitchen knife,a�? he said, adding that he wanted to marry his girlfriend.

A source at the hospital said Sibanda was beaten and sustained a depressed skull and is receiving treatment at Mpilo Central Hospital.
