Adrian Donian, 22, and Emile du Plessis, 24, appeared in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court accused of stealing a penguin called “Buddy” from a marine park and releasing him into the sea.

These two men appeared in court on Thursday on charges of theft and malicious damage to property.

Buddy, an endangered African black-footed penguin, was taken from Bayworld Oceanarium in Port Elizabeth in a night-time raid two weeks ago.

This grabbed international attention as there are worries of the penguin likely to die in the wild.

He was released into the Indian Ocean.
