Abel Shingange

Abel Shingange is well known as the step-father of South African comedian, television host, producer, writer, actor, and political commentator Trevor Noah. 

Ex-wife fell in love with a 46-year-old man 

His ex-wife Patricia Nombuyiselo was earlier in a relationship with Robert Noah.

They both even had a son, who they named Trevor Noah. 

He was of Swiss ancestry, whereas his girlfriend is of Xhosa ancestry from southern Africa. 

She was only 24 when she fell in love with him. The age gap between them was 26 years old. 

But the only thing they care about was their love. At that time, any kind of interracial sexual relations and marriage was illegal. 

Since he was white and his girlfriend was black, their relationship was not legal in any way. 

She was even jailed and fined for violating the law. Their son took refuge in his maternal grandmother's house. 

But because of the harsh law, the pair got separated for long periods. He used to meet his son every Sunday. 

But later, he shifted to Cape town, that's when they completely lost touch with him. 

The law changed when the immorality act was amended in 1985. Their son was one year old. 

Abusive husband 

After getting separated from her first partner, she began dating Abel Shingange. 

Later the couple tied the knot in a small wedding ceremony in 1992. But only after a few years, he started showing his abusive behavior towards her and her son.  

He used to give them mental as well as physical torture. Although being in an abusive relationship,  two together went on to have two children. 

Both of them are sons. Their names are Andrew Shingange and Isaac Shingange. Both of them are settled in their life. 

After being together for four years, she finally divorced him in 1996. 

She got married for the second time to Sfiso Khoza in 2009. 

Seeing her moving on in life, her ex-husband lost his temper and attempted to kill her by shooting in the leg and back of her head. 

Luckily, she survived the horrifying incident. There were no severe injuries other than some minor damages to her nostril. 

When her son confronted him over the incident, he again threatened him to move to LA; otherwise, he might have to face the same situation as his mother. 

Despite registering the complaint so often about domestic violence, no action was taken against him until 2011. 

In 2011, he was sentenced to three years of correctional supervision on the attempt of the murder charge.
