Mthandani Nqetho pierced his feet on steel spikes as he was trying to jump the fence on Friday night in Durban.
He managed to free one of them, but was unable to release the other and had to hang on until morning when church goers saw him and called the rescue services.

Ow.....

"People in the crowd gave him a cigarette and grapes until the rescue services arrived," he told the BBC.

Love that they gave him smokes and grapes, just a bit diffrent to me.

On the bright side it looks like only one spike got him on the side of the foot so it could have been worse.

If you read the excerpt above, you'll see it was indeed worse. Pierced both feet. Ow.
