The SABC’s Lesedi FM Current Affairs presenter Dimakatso Folotsi has testified in the Bloemfontein Regional Court that her ex-husband stabbed her several times until she lost a lot of blood.
Folotsi took the stand for the first time on Tuesday in a trial against her former husband Mackenzie Ratselane.
The incident took place in February 2021 after he allegedly accused her of cheating on him.
Ratselane is facing charges of attempted murder, kidnapping, and the unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Folotsi told the court that Ratselane was consuming alcohol on the night of the stabbing incident.
She says the accused told her that a friend’s car had broken down at Dewetsdorp and needed assistance.
They drove to the place. She said she could not see the broken-down vehicle on the road.
She says while they were in the car he started accusing her of being in a relationship with another man and suddenly started stabbing her.
The trial continues.
