A man was beaten up for stealing salad at 6-year-old Sibonela Magqolwane's birthday party in KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage.
Nonzuzo Magqolwane, the mother of the birthday girl, told Daily Sun: "The man entered my house last Tuesday afternoon while I was outside, talking on the phone.
"I heard the sound of glass breaking. I went inside to investigate and saw him coming out of my kitchen. He ran away and spilled the bowl full of salad that was meant for my daughter's birthday.
"I screamed for help and my nephew caught him. He moered the thief but we decided not to injure him badly and handed him over to the cops."
The suspect's sister, Nomahlubi Mavuso (33), said: "I got a call to say that he had been caught stealing food at someone's house.
"I rushed there and found him surrounded by a group of people accusing him of breaking into a house and stealing a bowl of salad."
Constable William Sauls said: "A case has been opened but no arrest has yet been made."
