THE Zimbabwean woman, who was shot twice from close range and died instantly in the crime-infested Johannesburg Central Business District, has been identified as Tabeth Chidziva.

Tabeth’s murder was caught on camera.

It’s a chilling cold blood murder case with the killer, who is believed to be a South African man who is a ruthless criminal, casually pulling out his gun and shooting her twice from close range.

Chidziva was said to be in the business of selling sadza and mazondo on the Johannesburg streets.

She was very well known in the area where she operated from as she has been conducting her business there for years.

The tragic incident occurred on Sunday after a row between Tabeth and the South African man, which sucked in a number of other people, who appeared to be trying to resolve their fallout.

However, it ended tragically with the killer firing twice and walking casually from his crime scene.

A Zimbabwean entrepreneur, Moreboys Munetsi, said the incident was unfortunate and warned his fellow Zimbabweans to try and avoid disputes which have the potential to end up in tragedy.

“Vakangotadza kunzwanana abva amupfura akabva atiza,” said Munetsi.

“The family is heartbroken. They need all our prayers and support. We need to continue praying for our family members in SA.

“It’s traumatising to watch a relative being killed.

“I am doing the paperwork as GreatHope (to repatriate her body) from South Africa to Zimbabwe.”

He added that he would also attend the burial.

Chidziva’s brother, Marlvin, said:

“We are grateful to everyone assisting us to ferry our sister to Zimbabwe. GreatHope is doing a good job to help us.”  According to some sources, the South African man has impregnated the deceased’s daughter.  “According to what we know, these people had previous issues, but from the video, it seems it was simply an issue of failing to understand each other.

“From the video, the woman initially even left him, but later came back holding a plate.”

Another source said:

“The guy is known for violence. He is involved in crime, and he is a dangerous criminal.

“People know that he is very dangerous. It’s sad that a life was lost.”  The murder was a topical subject among Zimbabweans who are based in South Africa.

May her soul rest in peace, it’s unfortunate that it ended in her death. My sisters and mothers I am asking you one thing, please let’s try by all means to avoid confrontations with men, it’s not every man who is understanding and gentle. I have witnessed a lot and similar situations which can be avoided by just keeping quiet and excusing yourself from the situation. — Prosper Mpofu

This whole situation was avoidable, she had all the power in her hands to avoid the escalation of this conflict . . . There are people who were trying to cool down the fight and they had successfully done so until that last provocation that escalated the whole situation . . . .
