It was the first of two fatal incidents that took place last week. 


On Friday, a man is believed to have killed his partner and their three-year-old son before taking his own life in Umgababa, on the south coast.


Speaking over the weekend, ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula condemned the incidents. 


"This highlights the ongoing scourge on violence against women and children in our society. These acts undermine women's dignity, especially women and children are vulnerable."
