Mpumalanga police are searching for six people who allegedly chopped off the hands of a man and fled with them.
Police spokesperson Colonel Donald Mdhluli said the victim was walking on Kromdraai Road towards Extension 16 in Vosman, near Emalahleni, on Wednesday when he was approached by the suspects.
The 30-year-old victim was forced into a green Opel Corsa bakkie at gunpoint, said Mdhluli, and the assailants told him they were going to kill him.
