Pitbull Mauls Man To Death In South Africa

A pitbull has mauled another person to death, this time in Mogwase outside Rustenburg in North West, South Africa.

The 39-year-old man was mauled to death after apparently climbing over a wall at a closed tavern in Mogwase Unit 8.

"We are investigating an inquest. It is alleged that the tavern was closed, everybody was told to leave.

"The owners locked and left the premises.

“The man climbed the wall and that is when he was attacked by a pit bull. Investigations continues," North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Funani told IOL news media on Saturday.

People on social media speculated that the man may have fallen asleep and gone unnoticed when the tavern closed and the owners released the dog to guard the premises.

The incident occurred six days after Zimkhitha Gaga, 37, was mauled to death by three dogs on her way to work on November 27 in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape.
