Lindi thanks her lucky stars
She said she was lucky to be alive as she was in intensive care unit for many months. Lindi said the man had allegedly sold his family home and was homeless.
She said that by the time he set her on fire, he had been living in her house for eight months.
"He was abusive and a psychopath. He wanted us to have a relationship again. We started a relationship in 2014 and broke up in 2015. I was so generous to him. I'm still traumatised and scared of him, even when he's dead," she said.
Lindi said she was even afraid to go out on the street.
"Even If I find him in heaven, I will fight him," she said.

The woman said she spent nearly two months in the intensive care unit and another month in the recovery ward at a private hospital. She said she was struggling to recover because she was badly injured.
Her mother-in-law, Thokozile Lukhele (53), said: "We're happy she is back and recovering well. We were scared that she'd die. We're thankful to people who also prayed for her."
