Noorul Islam Masjied in Simon’s Town was “vandalised” on Saturday morning.

The 15-centimetre long butchered snout, with a part of its mouth still attached, was discovered by worshippers just before early morning prayers on Saturday morning.

The action has been condemned by Muslim authorities, the SA Human Rights Commission and Cape Town Mayor Patricia De Lille, who said “the heinous crime would not be tolerated”.

The incident comes a week after a Langebaan resident called for the local mosque to be burnt down.
