A 45-year-old man was stabbed during an altercation with a friend at a local tavern in Amouti on Sunday afternoon, reportedly following a heated argument over alcohol and the company of women.
According to sources, the incident unfolded after the man allegedly declared that, since he had paid for the liquor being consumed, he should be given the first choice of the women accompanying the group. This claim sparked a disagreement, which escalated into a violent confrontation.
One of the men in the group is said to have drawn a knife and stabbed the victim during the altercation.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) responded to the call for assistance at approximately 19:28. The victim had fled the scene and was located at his residence, where emergency responders attended to his injuries.
No arrests have been confirmed at this stage, and authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident.
