A Zimbabwean man living in South Africa recorded his own suicide after he was dumped by his wife for a South African man.
Bhekimpilo Moyo (37) decided to take his own life after he discovered that his wife of 15 years identified as MaNcube was cheating with a South African man.
Bheki contacted his relatives in Zimbabwean City of Bulawayo and advised them of his ordeal and the next actions he was taking. He send them a picture of the poison he was about to take. The incident was so horrible to the relatives as they continued to receive regular updates from their son about his rapidly deteriorating condition.
Bheki chose to kill himself after he was threatened by the South African man with death if he continued to talk to his wife. He told his relatives he was better off dead than to live after losing a wife of 15 years in that manner.

Moyo succeeded him killing himself on the second attempt on Thursday last week. He tried to commit suicide on Tuesday but was saved by friends who took him to the hospital. Moyo instructed his relatives not to allow his in laws to attend the funeral as they are the reasons for his suffering and death.
He left a suicide note.
Moyo’s sister Ms Prisca Ngulube narrated the painful incident to The Chronicle:
“He also sent me a message stating that he was committing suicide but I’m not the one he was chatting with in one of the voice notes that are circulating. I don’t know why he decided to do what he did.
Ngulube says she hopes those who are in South Africa will be able to explain what happened to her brother. She says she engaged her pastors to talk to him but he was unreachable.
“He was clearly having financial challenges as someone who used to hold significant amounts of money. Life wasn’t rosy for him. So maybe that is what contributed to him to take that decision. I can’t really comment about his wife but they were no longer living together. As we speak, they say they do not know where she is and has not been seen at the funeral wake,” she said.”
