A TRADITIONAL circumcision ceremony in South Africa went awry over the weekend when a policeman had his nose bitten off.
The policeman had tried to put paid to an argument between a man and his family during the ceremony in the Eastern Cape province, when the man attacked him, biting off his nose.
The aggrieved policeman then shot the 30-year-old man in the chest, the SAPA news agency reported.
Both are now recovering in hospital.
Circumcision is a rite of passage for some South African boys who go through a lengthy initiation before undergoing the procedure.
