SPCA: Cape Town dogfighting suspects arrested; both linked to murders
Cape of Good Hope SPCA inspectors tracked down and rescued two animals that were involved in a dogfighting video they saw on Monday.
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA was spurred to action after seeing a dogfighting video on Monday, 31 May. The next day Inspectors from the animal welfare organisation petitioned the Wynberg Court for a warrant to remove the dogs from their hellish environment.
When SPCA Chief Inspector Jaco Pieterse and Inspector Mark Syce – accompanied by Cape Town Law Enforcement officers and members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) – arrived at the Manenberg property where the dogfight allegedly took place, they were met by more than they bargained for.

South African police and Cape Town Law Enforcement officers fired stun grenades at residents of a neighbourhood who tried to prevent a crane from entering the area. The residents of Bo Kaap have clashed with a local development company which is building high-rise apartments in the historic neighbourhood. The area was known as the Malay Slave Quarter during colonial times as it was home to slaves that were brought to South Africa from Malaysia, Java and Indonesia. Residents want the area preserved as a national heritage site. After police fired stun grenades, the developers' crane entered the area, but it struggled to climb the hill and had to eventually be towed. The crane then left the area to cheers from the residents. The property developer, Block Development, recently sought to prevent local housing activists from protesting in the area.
