HE GOT a frightening WhatsApp from his girlfriend – and she was serious.
He couldn’t believe she asked him to do something like that.
“NGICELA O LIMAZE SOMEBODY FOR ME PLEASE,” READ HER MESSAGE!
And the 35-year-old woman from Brits in the North West wasn’t joking.
She wanted her current boyfriend, who comes from the north of Joburg, to kill her previous boyfriend who’s also the father of her child!
The 44-year-old said he was shocked but chose to play along and asked the woman to send more information.
She sent a photo of her ex, whom she dated for 10 years, as well as the intended victim’s cellphone number and company he works for in Ekurhuleni.
Texts were followed by a series of voice notes from the woman.

“That person is now at work,” she says in one of the notes. If you go early, you will find him. Don’t go after noon because he knocks off around that time.”
But her current lover was struggling to understand why he’d be asked to kill someone.
“I asked my friends for advice. They told me if she can ask you for something like that, she can do it to you as well,” he told Daily Sun.
He said other friends warned him if the other man died in a strange way, he’d be a suspect. “Cops will ask why I’ve been quiet all this time. I decided to call this guy and explained everything to him.”
He said he picked up the girlfriend may be struggling to accept that her ex had moved on.
The texts were sent two weeks ago, the killing was supposed to happen a few days after a hit had been ordered.
In their WhatsApp conversation with her, he says he can’t suffer for the sins of others and tells her to also move on.
“Not until he dies,” she replies.

The intended victim, a 42-year-old from Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, was shocked to hear about the plan. “We were okay. I didn’t think there would be a threat on my life.”
He said his ex once burnt him with boiling water after a fight more than two years ago after he told her they couldn’t be together anymore, and that he had moved on.
A case was opened against the woman but was withdrawn after the two families decided to mediate and settle out of court. He thanked the man for saving his life and telling him about the plot. The lady confirmed she asked her boyfriend to kill her ex. “I was angry that he was telling me about his girlfriend of two years while we were together for 10 years. I wasn’t thinking of the consequences of what I asked him. I won’t be bothering him anymore. It hurts but I’ll move on.”
The boyfriend said he didn’t know what to do, but a cop friend advised him to make the victim aware, and that cops would take it from there in terms of opening the case.
At the time of going to print, the man who feared for his life was at the Kempton Park Police station trying to open a case.
