Durban - A brave couple have given a blow-by-blow account of how they fought off black attackers who broke into their home in Durban’s Outer West. The husband was stabbed eight times; the wife was left bruised.
The incident happened at the Nkutu Vale gated complex in Waterfall early on Thursday.
The couple, both 68, who asked not to be named, were awoken by shuffling noises in the lounge.
The husband, a machine components supplier, leapt out of bed in his shorts to investigate.
He thought a roaming black-and-white cat had entered the home.
Instead he walked into two men unplugging his television from a wall unit.
