A man who did not like playing the waiting game with his wife damaged her eye and fractured her arm for coming home late.

Ntokozo Bhebhe (29) from Village 2 in Dromoland in Inyathi was not amused when his 31-year-old wife Siphilisiwe Dube (31) came home around 9pm from church.

On trying to explain the reason for coming home late, Dube was clobbered with a knobkerrie because her explanation was not good enough.

As a result she sustained a fractured left arm and injured right eye. She was thenA� ferried to Inyathi District Hospital for treatment.

That is when the nurses discovered that her right eye was injured and could not see.

A police report was then filed.

Bhebhe has since appeared before magistrate on circuit in Inyathi, Stephen Ndlovu, facing an assault charge.

He pleaded guilty and asked for leniency.

a�?I got jealous after my wife failed to come home at the agreed time (6pm) and out of anger I had to hit her. I apologise for my unbecoming actions and beg not to be sent to jail because I am a breadwinner. I am afraid my children will suffer,a�? said Bhebhe.

Dube nailed her husband saying he emotionally and physically abuses her.

a�?My husband always beats me up and accuses me of always coming home late and he says he regrets ever marrying me,a�? said Dube.

The magistrate remanded Bhebhe in custody to 24 March for sentencing.
