Johannesburg - A 22-year-old man is to appear in court for illegally circumcising his brother, Eastern Cape police said on Monday.
Captain Jackson Manatha said the man apparently illegally circumcised his 18-year-old brother on Friday at Dudumashe Village in Nqgamakhwe.
"The mother of both the victim and suspect heard a scream from nearby the stock kraal," said Manatha.
She called local men who found the brothers engaged in the illegal circumcision.
Manatha said the victim had been taken to Butterworth Hospital due to a sceptic wound.
Police have recovered a weapon used to perform the circumcision.
The 22-year-old would appear in the Nqgamakhwe Magistrate's Court on Monday, police said.
