Nunu, the pig that was attacked and shot, is recovering at a private animal sanctuary

The rescue organisation caring for Nunu, the beloved pig shot in a brutal attack, is set to meet with police on Monday as efforts continue to identify the person responsible for shooting the animal.

SAFE, a Ballito-based animal rescue organisation, said it had a follow-up appointment with the South African Police Service (SAPS) regarding the shooting case, while the SPCA continued to investigate the separate case relating to Nunu's alleged beating.

"We will keep everyone updated if there are any breakthroughs on who shot Nunu," the organisation said.

The update comes as Nunu continues his recovery after being shot in the neck just days after he was allegedly beaten by a group of men in Phoenix, north of Durban.
