A suspected bank card thief is fighting for his life in a Limpopo hospital after a group of residents attacked him and cut off his penis.
\nHe is one of three suspects who allegedly caused havoc in, among others, Tzaneen by stealing bank cards, forcing the owners to give them their pin numbers and then withdrawing money.
\nThis incident happened at around 09:00 on Tuesday in the Bungeni area about 140km from Polokwane.
\nThe robbers managed to steal a card from a woman who was withdrawing money at an ATM in the Bungeni Bar, said provincial police spokesperson Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, the woman received an SMS from her bank informing her that money was being withdrawn at the nearby Vivo Garage.
\nWhen she arrived at the garage, she identified the three suspects. They tried to flee in their car but other motorists managed to block the road.
\nA group of residents then attacked the suspects and beat them with sticks, rocks, cement blocks and a sjambok, among others.
\nIt was then that a group of men held down one of the suspects, pulled down his pants and cut off his penis.
\nThe police were informed about the incident and managed to rescue the alleged thieves from the mob.
\nNgoepe said the suspects were all well-known residents of the Rivati settlement near Tzaneen.
\nThe man who lost his penis was transferred to the nearby Elim Hospital. Paramedics had apparently put his dismembered penis in a box of ice and handed it to the hospital.
\nNgoepe confirmed the man was in a critical condition.
\nThe other two suspects, who were assaulted, have been discharged and are currently in police custody until their appearance in court later this week.<\/p>\n
