Last year killed the two men, the 24-year-old Zanele Hlatshowayo, only for its body parts to consume. The matter came to light when She, a traditional healer, self-reported to the police in Estcourt, in the province of KwaZulu Natal. The man had a bag with a human leg and a hand and would have said that he was “tired of was human flesh to eat.”

The police believed the man at first, until he took them along to a home where more human body parts were found.

South Africa has no legislation that cannibalism doesn’t allow, or is it illegal to a corpse, to maim or human tissue in their possession.
