The distraught mother of Reuben Le Roux, a 15-month-old Gonubie toddler who was mauled to death recently by a neighbour’s pit bull, fully supports calls for the banning of the breed. Reuben’s death rocked the country, with mounting calls for a ban on pit bulls in SA. Maryke van der Mescht, 37, of Hollows Farm, on Friday said her family was devastated by the sudden death of Reuben late last month.
People have described the horror of seeing a toddler seized by the throat by a pit bull on Wednesday on a Gonubie smallholding and shaken like a rag doll.
