His wife Sandra Govender, 53, and co-accused Kwanele Mbele, Nomfundisi Ntape and Zandile Mvelu were arrested last Wednesday and charged with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

The couple had been married for 35 years but were separated for most of their marriage. They have two children. “We live together but we led different lives.”“I am going to the hospital for treatment. This ordeal has taken a toll on me.” The four women appeared in the Verulam Magistrate’s Court on Friday and were remanded in custody at the Phoenix police station.Govender, a pensioner, fell asleep while watching TV and awoke when the women allegedly tried to strangle him.“I used all my strength to fight back and scream for help but they dragged me from the lounge to the bedroom. I was somehow able to activate the panic button in the bedroom.”“The women left me in the bedroom and went to the door.
