A MAN from Cape Town is in hot water.
This comes after he allegedly set his pitbulls on police in the Delft area on Saturday, 18 January.
The Anti-Gang Unit, which was deployed to quell ongoing gang violence in the Cape Flats, was tipped off about a firearm at a certain house on Crusader Street. They went to the address and found 100 rounds of ammunition hidden inside a cupboard.
Officers then arrested the 37-year-old man who was at the premises. After interrogation and investigating, police proceeded to another address where they found a firearm, ammunition and drugs.
Police spokesman Malcolm Pojie said at the second address, pitbulls were set on the officers. Police had to use rubber bullets to stop the vicious dogs from attacking them.
BANELE Thabethe (31) sustained severe injuries after allegedly being mauled by two pitbulls.
The incident happened in Spruitview, Ekurhuleni, on Saturday, 25 January, and Banele is still in hospital.
Banele's uncle, Sibusiso Thabethe (49), said his nephew was allegedly attacked around midnight while going to buy a cold drink at a nearby BP petrol station.
He said while Banele walked on Goronyane Crescent Street, he saw an open gate and two pit bulls, prompting him to run.
A KASI woman is still in pain after the attack.
Kesaobaka Tsatsi (31) from Mmabatho in the North West shared her harrowing experience with Daily Sun after allegedly being mauled by a cop's three dogs on Christmas Day 2024.
The attack left her with severe injuries to her left foot and body, and she's now struggling financially for medical treatment.
"Three dogs viciously attacked me while passing on the road. The gates were not closed when the incident happened. I'm still suffering from the attack. I can't even sleep," Tsatsi said.
She claimed that during the attack, the police officer was called and informed, but he never showed interest or responsibility.
That does seem like a SAPS member at all...![]()
