Maskandi musician Masinga, real name Lindelani Dumakude is recovering in hospital after he was allegedly stabbed by his girlfriend over the weekend.

STABBED

Lindelani and his partner got into an altercation after she allegedly refused to accept that the relationship was over. A close friend in the maskandi music scene told ZiMoja that he had found someone else and moved on. "He broke up with a woman and she was not taking things well. They got into a fight and from what I hear, she stabbed him out of anger," the friend says. "She had begged, then got tired, and then she became angry."

UNEXPECTED

Lindelani is currently at a Johannesburg hospital where he is being treated for stab wounds to the chest. The Qhushu singer tells ZiMoja that he was with another woman when he was attacked. I didn't notice she had a knife, but I saw she was hiding something," he says. A devastated Lindelani says he never expected something so violent to happen to him. "Especially not from a lady. I am not a violent person." "I'm still working on my recovery and when I feel strong, I will open a case."
