Nothando Nxumalo, a cleaner at MultiChoice Eswatini's branch in Manzini, Eswatini was stabbed in a brutal knife attack by a colleague last Monday and is now in hospital with serious injuries.

According to the Eswatini Observer, a 27-year-old staffer from MultiChoice Manzini allegedly attacked Nothando Nxumalo this past Monday inside the building.

Nothando Nxumalo asked Tebenguni Nxumalo why the woman hadn't cleaned up a mess that she had made a few minutes earlier which angered Tebenguni.

An enraged Tebenguni Nxumalo then allegedly grabbed a knife and attacked Nothando Nxumalo who was brutally stabbed several times and then taken to hospital where she is currently in a stable condition but with serious injuries.

MultiChoice staffers in Manzini have been severely traumatised.

Tebenguni Nxumalo was arrested and appeared in court this past Wednesday, and was granted bail. Tebenguni Nxumalo has to appear in court again on 21 May.
