2003-06-02 13:40
Johannesburg - The wife of Sibusiso Vilane, who conquered Mount Everest last week, has denied reports linking attacks on her home to her husband's feat, SABC radio news reported on Monday.
Some South African media have reported that the Vilane home at Lubuyane, near Mbabane in Swaziland, was attacked and that Nomsa Vilane said her home was torched by neighbours jealous of her husband's achievement.
However, Mrs Vilane denied this, saying she suspected their house was attacked because of a long-standing dispute with a neighbour over a piece of land.
