South Africans are taking to social media to call for the government to officially ban Pit Bulls following last month’s deadly attack on 10-year-old Storm Nuku.
On 26 September, Nuku was mauled to death by two family-owned Pit Bulls in Gelvandale, Gqeberha.
Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu says police were called to the house in Antia Drive around 1:15 pm. When police arrived at the scene, they were forced to shoot and kill the two dogs. Colonel Naidu says Storm died on the scene.
