Unaware that Shabangi was a police officer, the man offered him the human tissue, which turned out to be a human womb, for R5 000. Pretending to be negotiating with the seller, the detective then posed several questions to the man to find out more about the tissue.
The 60-year-old man was immediately arrested and detained at the Vosloorus police station and made a brief appearance in court on June 15.
Capt Rossouw said the tissue has been sent for forensic testing.
