Two men briefly appeared in Witbank Magistrate Court after allegedly cutting off a man’s finger.
The men appeared on October 6.
It is alleged that the man was at Ohlonga Cash and Carry in the central business district on October 5 doing what he called ‘window-shopping’.
He told police he took two bottles of Nivea Body Lotion intending to pay for it.
A security guard came closer and accused the man of stealing.
The man alleged that he was taken to a security company where two men allegedly told him to choose to be killed or his fingers cut off.
He said the men cut his finger off and took him into a yard where what is believed to be security dogs bit him.
He managed to escape and ran to the main license office for help.
