In a victim personal statement, Ms Ncube’s son said: “Me and my sister have been robbed of our mother and our whole life.
“Every day with a burning pain, I miss her, I miss being able to hug her. I miss being able to talk to her.
“Mum I miss you and I will always love you.”
Her daughter told Moyo that he had “ruined her whole life”, adding: “You have stolen my mum from me.
“I really thought that you were a father to me but you are not… I hate you.”
Sentencing Moyo to a life jail term, Judge Patrick Field KC told him his crime had been “premeditated, brutal and wicked”.
The judge said: “When Ms Ncube formed a relationship with another man in September 2023 you were consumed by jealousy and your behaviour deteriorated further.
“This fatal attack took place in front of her children.
“You then ran away leaving Perseverance Ncube to die in the street.
“The cries of distress and terror accompanying that scene were truly awful.
“The impact on those children is unimaginable.
“This was a calculated, premeditated, brutal and wicked offence.”
