South Africa: Woman Allegedly Assaulted by Taxi Driver May Have in Fact Escaped Worse Fate At Hands of Criminal Gang

press release

A member of the public has approached the Ministry of Transport and Public Works with details which indicate that the woman who was allegedly assaulted by a taxi driver in Phillipi last month may have, through her caution, avoided a far more dangerous situation. The member of the public, a young man, read the story in today's Cape Times and contacted the Ministry.

The man was robbed at gun point at around 10h30 pm in Mark St, Parow Valley last Saturday night, 30 June, by the occupants of a vehicle closely matching the description of the taxi involved in the 21 June assault: a white Toyota Avanza with tinted windows.
