A 4-year-old girl, Banele Shelembe has been mauled down and killed by 2 pit bulls in Pietermarizburg, a suburb of South Africa.
Reports say she had been sent by her mother to buy salt with 3 older children on Wednesday, August 18th when the dogs descended on them.
The children who hail from the Mvundlweni area of KwaMnyandu, started screaming for help when the dogs struck and the older ones managed to escape leaving Banele with the dogs.
Their mother, Jabu Mncibi told The Witness on Friday that she watched helplessly as the pit bulls maul her baby to death.
The bereaved mother said she wants the same treatment dealt the dogs as they did to her child. According to her, she still has flashbacks about the gory incident.
Reports say the police has taken custody of the dogs while an inquest has begun on the matter.
Jabu described Banele as a bubbly loving child.
