South African-born Zimbabwean Kelvin Mhofu Ngoshi took his own life this past weekend on Facebook Live after he purportedly discovered his fiancée had cheated on him.

Ngoshi was reportedly shocked to learn that his boyfriend, who he only knew as Kudzi, was apparently having an extramarital affair, according to Crime Watch Zimbabwe (CWZ).

Following their breakup, Kudzi allegedly plotted revenge and informed the South African authorities about Ngoshi’s illicit coal trades, increasing the likelihood of his detention.

“In the video, he didn’t say a word. He just filmed himself drinking what people initially believed to be a regular Coca-Cola, but they later realised that the beverage had been laced with some form of poison. He later died, leaving behind a young daughter,” Crime Watch Zimbabwe said

The couple was reportedly in a relationship since 2016 and they took a break for a while but got back together in 2023.

“Unfortunately, reports suggest that Kelvin was involved in some illegal coal deals in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

On top of cheating on Kelvin, Kudzi also reportedly informed authorities about Kelvin’s (illegal) coal business, which put him in a difficult situation. This eventually led him to commit suicide,” further reads the post.

Kelvin, who leaves behind a minor daughter and a sister battling cancer, was the sole breadwinner as both his parents are deceased.
