Police said three Pitbulls suspected to be responsible for the gruesome attack on a 37-year-old woman in Port Alfred have been taken away by the SPCA.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu, said the dogs apparently managed to escape from a secured enclosure by damaging the perimeter fence.
Zimkhitha Gaga was on her way to work on Sunday when she was mauled by dogs on Alfred Road early on Sunday morning.
