Gory and chilling footage showing a man being dragged allegedly by pupils from Capricorn High School in Polokwane after they had attacked him has emerged on social media. Thoriso Themane, 27, was brutally attacked on February 23 in Flora Park.
According to Limpopo police spokesperson Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe, a community member found a severely injured Themane on Sunday.
