An alleged thief, who walked past the front of a shop he burgled earlier this week, got the beating of his life when an alert shop owner saw him wearing clothes stolen from his shop.
On being asked where he got the clothes, the man immediately started running away.
Members of the public apprehended him and beat him, causing serious injuries.
"We have resorted to mob justice here, because we are fed up with the crime in this area," said Hassen Mohideen, chairperson of Sector Policing Forum (SPF) in Marabastad.
According to Mohideen, the shop owner saw the man on Thursday night and reported him to a police officer - who refused to arrest the suspect.
