SIZIWE Lencoe wants justice for her late husband.
This after her husband, George Mohau Lencoe, was allegedly bumped with a bakkie at Jouberton extension 1 in Klerksdorp, North West on Sunday, 11 June.
It happened after the 57-year-old court interpreter allegedly had an argument with the driver of a Suzuki bakkie, who had urinated in front of his yard.
Siziwe (53) said she is shattered and hurt to the core.
"My husband was a loving and responsible father who cared for his family. He was a straight talker, punctual and a very reliable person you could count on," she said.
Siziwe told Daily Sun her husband's last words on that fateful Sunday were: "Please, lock my gate because I'm on my way to church and to attend a meeting."
She said that she and her husband have three kids - Tshiamo (25), a primary school teacher, Gosiame (19) who matriculated in 2022 and Mpho (17), a grade 11 pupil at Milner High School.
North West police spokewoman Colonel Adele Myburgh, said the driver of the bakkie, Letlhogonolo Makolometsa (28), briefly appeared in the Klerksdorp Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 11 July.

She said initial information indicated that George and the suspect had an argument on that Sunday afternoon.
"That was after Makolometsa allegedly urinated in front of Lencoe’s yard. The suspect, who was driving a white Suzuki bakkie, bumped the victim with the vehicle and left the scene," said Myburgh.
She said George was declared dead on the scene by Emergency Medical Rescue Services.
Myburgh said that Makolometsa handed himself over to the police shortly after the incident.
During his court appearance, he was remanded in custody until Tuesday, 18 July for address verification and further investigation.
