TWO men will appear in the Ntuzuma magistrate's court today for allegedly being in possession of human body parts, KwaZulu-Natal police said.
"The men were arrested for contravening the Human Tissue Act. They are due to appear in the Ntuzuma magistrate's court today," Lieutenant Colonel Vincent Mdunge said.
On Sunday police arrested the first man in Nongoma after he was allegedly found with two human hands.
"Investigations led police to Lindelani in KwaMashu where a second man - who claimed to be a traditional healer - was allegedly found with a human head and body parts in a 20litre bucket. Police arrested the man on the spot," he said.
Mdunge said the head was that of an elderly man and the body was that of a child.
"The traditional healer said the body was a tokoloshe which he caught in the bush ... (that) it was not human, but he could not explain the head," Mdunge said.
The body appeared to have scars but no blood stains.
The body parts were taken to a state mortuary, Mdunge said.
