A South African man from the North West province has raped a dog inside a toilet in Mabopane, police said on Tuesday.
"The animal suffered internal injuries that would have made its life difficult," said Tshwane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) spokesman Meshack Matlou. It had been destroyed, he said.
Lt-Col Dikatso Thebe said the owner of the house in block EW, Mabopane, caught the 21-year-old raping the animal on Sunday night and called nearby residents who beat him up.
He handed himself in to the police the next day out of fear of the residents, Thebe said.
He said the man was expected to face a charge of bestiality in the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
