A dog owner stabbed to death a man who tried to fend off his dog with a Knobkerrie in Ikageng near Potchefstroom.
According to the Cape Times the man was walking down the street in Sonderwater when the dog attacked him.
Sampie Mareo (30-years old) had a Knobkerrie with him at the time.
North West police spokesperson Inspector Sam Tselanyane said he fought the dog off him using the Knobkerrie. It is alleged that the dog then ran back into the yard.
The 54-year old dog-owner came out with a knife and allegedly stabbed the man.
He will appear in the Potchefstroom Magistrate Court today.
The police say they believe the motive for the stabbing that the dog owner became angry after the deceased hit his dog.
