SHE was walking home from work with her colleague when her ex-boyfriend walked towards them.
He asked the colleague to give them some privacy and Precious Tom sensed something bad was going to happen.
Her instinct was right because her ex-boyfriend pulled out a knife and stabbed her.
She screamed until people came out, and her ex-boyfriend fled the scene.
The 31-year-old from Zwide near, Gqeberha told Daily Kasi news she dumped the man in April, but he had been asking her to give him a chance.
“I was tired of him. He cheated on me with a lot of women in our area.
“I got tired and decided to leave him because I took care of him, but he humiliated me,” she said.
But the man told her he would not lose her until they are both dead.
That’s when he pulled out a knife and stabbed Precious.
“I was nearby a clinic, so residents rushed me there and I got help,” Precious told Daily Kasi.
“I was bleeding all over.
“I didn’t know what was happening. All I was thinking was that I was going to die,” she said.
Precious said she was then taken to hospital, where she was admitted for two days.
“I am happy I survived, but I don’t feel safe anymore.
“I want the man found and arrested because my life is in danger,” she told the DK news.
“How am I going to walk in the street again when the person who almost killed me is walking free?
“We are looking for him and I plead with the community members to help me look for him so that he can go to jail for what he did to me.”
Precious opened a case against her ex, but the police hadn’t responded to Daily Kasi news inquiries at the time of going to print.
