Gumede and Hill were rushed to hospital a week ago after they were doused with petrol, set alight, and locked in a room to burn. According to the police, Hill tried to help Gumede after she had a fight with the suspect. The suspect allegedly sat in the next room while they were burning. The man was arrested shortly afterwards.

2 women in critical condition after man burns them
Two women, a girlfriend and an alleged perpetrator's sister, endured brutal suffering allegedly in the hands of the man who was supposed to love and protect them, a few days before Women's Month. On July 23, the man from Kwa-Guqa allegedly burned his girlfriend, Nompumelelo Gumede, over heated arguments spotted on the 21-year-old's phone, together with his sister, who tried to stop him from harming her. According to Vinolia Mashiane from Kwanele Mama Foundation, the suspect allegedly poured petrol in the room with the two beautiful ladies and set it alight, leaving them locked in the room to burn, while he continued to sit in another room. 'They burned until the neighbours came, and that was when he also attempted to help in rescuing them,' Mashiane said. The ladies were thereafter rushed to the clinic, where they managed to explain what had happened, revealing the person responsible, as they were still conscious. They were transported to the hospital and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. The suspect was apprehended by the police last week.
