Johannesburg - A badly mutilated man, who said he was a muti attack survivor, was admitted to an Eastern Cape hospital, provincial department of health said on Saturday. Muti is the removal of body parts for 'witch doctor's' so they can use it in 'remedies'. This is done preferably from a liver human being, especially children. It is also believed the more the pain, and removing it while alive, the 'better' the potion.
Spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said the man was admitted at the hospital, which cannot be named for his safety, on Friday night.
"One of his kidneys, [and] testicles had been removed. He also has a big septic wound on his right leg," Kupelo said.
He said the man alleged that a family member removed his body parts to use for muti.
The man was taken for a psychiatric assessment, and found to be mentally stable.
He was in a serious, but stable condition, while police investigated.
