A 21-year-old man from Mtunzini in KwaZulu-Natal was allegedly beaten to death by community members after he was allegedly caught raping a goat. 

The incident reportedly happened just before 00:00 on Monday, 5 September 2022. 

MAN BEATEN TO DEATH FOR RAPING A GOAT 

According to 1KZNTV News, the man wanted to rape a 61-year-old woman when he attempted to break into her home but she managed to fight back and threatened to decapitate the man. 

Following the attempted house break-in, the woman was awoken by the sound of a crying goat, reportedly. Upon further investigation, the man was allegedly caught red-handed raping a goat. 

Members of the community then gathered at the elderly woman’s home and took the law into their hands by beating the man to death. 

KZN police spokesperson, Thenjiswa Ngcobo said it was alleged by the elderly woman that while she was sleeping in her house, she heard someone break the window to her house.

She threatened the intruder with her bush knife if he tried to come in through the window that he had already broken.

“When the 21-year-old failed to enter the house he turned and raped a goat that belonged to the woman. When she heard her goat crying she woke her son who was sleeping in another house and the man was caught in action,” she told IOL.

In July this year, the mysterious death of goats in a village in the Eastern Cape was finally resolved after a man called Mamboyi admitted to having ‘non consensual’ intercourse with the animals.

The latest death of a goat in the community at the time trapped Mamboyi, who is said to be a shepherd, after he was last seen with the animal.

In a video that was widely circulated online, scores of community members, particularly angry women confronted the accused for raping the goat.

Following the use of a strong tone from the women, Mamboyi eventually confessed to his multiple affairs with the animal which sadly died after the intercourse.
