The first black female military judge in the once powerful and proud South African Defence Force has escaped prosecution for attempting suicide by claiming she was bewitched. This follows not too long after South Africa’s first black female navy admiral was cashiered from the Navy after a court-martial.
Colonel Phildah Nomoyi, 41, doused herself with petrol and set herself alight in her garage in June. Nomoyi suffered second-degree burns and spent almost a month in Thaba Tshwane’s 1 Military Hospital, including more than a week in a psychiatric ward.
Attempting suicide is a serious offense in the South African military, with penalties resulting in being fired or up to five years in a military jail. However, Nomoyi was set free by the judge hearing her case.
Furious Military offiicals speaking on condition of anonymity went to the press with the story because Nomoyi’s case would set a precident by people seeking exoneration based on “witchcraft” status.
Brigadier-General Gert Slabbert, head of the directorate of military judges and Nomoyi’s immediate superior, refused to comment.
