Man 'tries to sell penis' at Eastern Cape shopping mall

A 32-year-old man has appeared in an Eastern Cape magistrate’s court charged with unlawful possession of human tissue — a man's penis.

Police spokesperson W/O Majola Nkohli said the man was arrested by members of the public after they allegedly found him in possession of a male body part at a shopping mall in Butterworth on Thursday. It is believed he was looking for a buyer.

Nkohli said: “Preliminary investigation has revealed that a private part was removed (cut) from a 68-year-old man in OR Tambo district.”

The victim is in hospital.
