Sangoma takes off with penis enlargement money
Sangoma arrested after a failed penis enlargement.
A bogus traditional healer was arrested for allegedly stealing money from a man who paid him to enlarge his genitals, Soshanguve police said on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old man was arrested on Sunday after police set-up a fake consultation with him, said Warrant Officer Lolo Mangena.
The bogus healer was paid R2 000 by the 36-year-old man last Wednesday for medication to enlarge his genitals.
The matter was reported to police when the healer failed to return the man’s phone calls about the medication.
Mangena said the sangoma claimed the man who needed help allegedly assaulted him and burnt down his practice.
“Police then set-up a fake consultation and arrested the sangoma,” Mangena said.
The sangoma would appear in the Soshanguve Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, charged with theft under false pretenses.
