ET?S DOGS BITES MAN

RIGHTWING leader Eugene Terre’Blanche could be prosecuted after dogs, believed to be his, attacked a man in Ventersdorp on Friday night, North West police said. Johannes Mbele, 47, was attacked by a Boerboel and a German Shepherd outside Terre’Blanche’s house in Ventersdorp. Mbele claimed the dogs came from Terre’Blanche’s yard. A security guard on duty in the area also said the dogs belonged to Terre’Blanche. Mbele sustained serious injuries to his arms and legs, and was being treated in the Potchefstroom hospital. Terre’Blanche on Monday said he was away at the time of the incident. He said he did not know whether his dogs were responsible for the attack on Mbele. Terre’Blanche is on bail pending the outcome of his appeal against his conviction for attempted murder of a farmworker.
