SA MOB ATTACKS, TORTURES 4 SWAZIS OVER THEFT OF GOATS

PIGG’S PEAK – Alleged livestock thieves nearly paid with their lives when a South African mob of over 30 people attacked them for allegedly stealing goats.
The three Swazi nationals are said to be based in SA.

The alleged assault is said to have happened at a place known as Magudu on the South African side near Mhlangatane Inkhundla.
One of the tortured three men, Aaron Bulunga alleged that they were beaten to a pulp by South Africans after they were accused of stock theft in Swaziland.
The other two are already behind bars while Bulunga is chained to his hospital bed where he is recuperating.

A fourth person who is said to be an elderly man managed to flee when the mob attacked, to take refuge at a South African police station. After spending some time at the police station in SA, the man was handed over to the Royal Swaziland Police.

Though they were attacked by South Africans while in that country, the alleged stock theft is said to have taken place in Swaziland.
The residents are said to have been angry that the alleged suspects were stealing goats from Swaziland and taking them to SA. It is alleged that the goats are in demand due to the high number of Asians in that country, who are said to prefer goat meat as opposed to beef.

After severely beating the three, the mob allegedly handed them over to soldiers manning an informal crossing point. The soldiers then called the police who fetched the severely injured men.
According to Bulunga, he alleged that he gave some money to two people who also live in SA but are Swazi nationals.

Money

The money was for the purchase of some goats on his behalf. However, instead of delivering the goats as per his request, the two people who had taken the money from Bulunga failed to deliver.
“I continuously reminded them that I need my goats but they never delivered,” said Bulunga.
After a long time of persistent pleas, he said the men eventually gave him five goats, adding that he did not realise that they were stolen.
