Pitbull named ‘Bruce Willis’ attacks girl, 9

A child aged 9 has been savaged in another vicious pitbull attack, this time in Mdantsane.

A walk to buy cheese at an NU2 store turned into a nightmare for little Zukhanye Ramncwana when the dog attacked her, ripping into her leg muscles.

She had been with her older sister Pelisa when attacked.

“We were walking to the local shop when we spotted the pitbull fighting with another dog,” Zusakhe said.

“Before I knew it, it was charging at us and I immediately told my older sister to run because she was unaware.”

They tried to get into a nearby house but because Zusakhe was behind, the dog caught her.

“It was not long before it gripped onto my leg and I just couldn’t shake it off me. I was screaming hysterically and my sister was already out of sight,” said Zukhanye.

The emotional child said she was rescued by a neighbour, who knew the dog and was able to call it off.

An elderly couple they did not know travelling past in a bakkie stopped and hurried them to the clinic, and even waited for them.

Pelisa said the clinic referred them to Cecilia Makiwane Hospital where Zukhanye’s wounds and stitched.
