Man bust for ‘raping dog’

The man was apparently caught by his girlfriend with pants down.

A 56-year-old man has been arrested allegedly after being caught ‘raping’ a dog in Soshanguve, police said.

Police spokesperson Constable Reneilwe Makwalo said the man was apparently caught in the act by his girlfriend.

A woman known as Kathrine Shikwambane (65) returned to her Block H home around 01:00 on Sunday, to find her boyfriend busy raping the dog.

“The man was arrested on Monday afternoon, after the woman came to the police station the next day to report a case of bestiality,” confirmed Makwalo.

Shikwambane told Rekord that she was shocked to find her boyfriend raping the dog “considering she made love to him twice that same day”.

“I slept with him the night before. I woke up with him. We made love twice. He seemed satisfied. He bathed and went to work, later when he returned he decided to sleep with a dog,” she said.

She said he had tied the dog up with a chain during the incident.

“The dog stood quietly while he was helping himself.”

The woman contacted the SPCA to ask it to come and help.

“We [SPCA] went to the address, the dog was in pain, and there were signs that it was sexually assaulted. We took the dog to the doctor for medical treatment, and it is [now] in the care of the SPCA,” said SPCA’s inspector Mishack Matlou.

Recently, criminal charges were laid against three boys from Hebron near Soshanguve after they were caught raping a dog.

The man was expected in the Soshanguve Magistrates Court to face a charge of bestiality.

SPCA spokesperson Michael Motloung told Rekord this week, that the boys were reprimanded and released on warning.

The three boys had asked the owner of the dog to allow them to take it hunting.
