Photos of 23-year-old South African woman, Sivenathi Toto, left paralysed and brain damaged after brutal attack by her boyfriend’s rival
A family from Lawaaikamp, in South Africa, is seeking justice after their 23-year-old daughter, Sivenathi Toto, was left paralysed and brain damaged following a brutal attack by her boyfriend’s rival.
According to a post shared by Women for Change on Thursday, June 1, 2023, Toto was brutally attacked and left for dead by the suspect identified as Shaun Madonono, also 23, on August 26, 2022.
According to Toto’s cousin Nosikhumbuzo Mhlaba, the attack was driven by revenge.
According to Mhlaba, Toto’s boyfriend was not home when Madonono arrived and Toto was sleeping in her boyfriend’s outside room.
Madonono allegedly broke down the door and forced her to go to his house where he severely assaulted her.
“He grabbed her and dragged her to his house two streets away, where he allegedly beat her until she was unconscious,” Mhlaba said.
