SANDF MAN ACCUSED OF SETTING GIRLFRIEND ALIGHT
A member of the SA National Defence Force who allegedly set his girlfriend alight appeared briefly in the Mmabatho Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
Isaac Mhone, 34, of Moshawane Village near Mafikeng was arrested on Sunday after he had allegedly poured paraffin on his girlfriend and set her alight.
This followed an argument between Mhone and girlfriend Mommy Gaanakgomo, 28.
He is also alleged to have set fire to the shack they shared after locking her inside.
Gaanakgomo managed to break the door and run for help. Neighbours put the fire out but she was already burned on her face, buttocks and thighs.
She was receiving treatment at the Klerksdorp Hospital.
The case against Mhone had been postponed to April 18 for a bail application. He was remanded in custody.
