Rustenburg - A 24-year-old man, accused of stabbing his mother to death and drinking her blood, is set to apply for bail in two weeks.
Thabang Moswane appeared briefly in the Koster Magistrate’s Court on Monday. The case against him was postponed to May 30 for his bail application.
Moswane of Mathopestad, near Boons in North West, was arrested a week ago, after he allegedly stabbed his mother several times at their home in Mathopestad, outside Koster.
According to North West police spokesperson Colonel Adele Myburgh, Moswane was involved in a fight with his mother Kedisaletse Elizabth Moswane, 53, on May 9.

“The police were informed that Thabang was allegedly seen drinking his mother’s blood after stabbing her,” she said.
According to daily newspaper The Daily Sun, Moswane allegedly stabbed his mother to death over R10.
He reportedly wanted his mother to give him R10, when she said she did not have money, he allegedly stabbed her.
Moswane's twin brother Thabo Moswane told the newspaper that he found his twin brother drinking blood from the stab wound in his mother's neck.
