Lanie Pieterse said the taxi picked her up and on their way out of the station’s parking lot, a group of men jumped in front of the taxi and started banging on the bonnet with their fists.
The driver sped away but four vehicles followed. “One of the vehicles cut us off and tried to push us off the road. The next moment the other vehicles were behind us,” she said.
The taxi driver told her he was not comfortable taking her home anymore, and advised her to rather go back to the station and inform police, who were at the station, of what had happened. So they turned around.
“I have never felt so scared in my life. The men were very aggressive,” she said.
She said when they reached the station again, the men started bashing on the taxi. “I informed the police what had happened and also identified the four men. The police did not arrest the men. They did, however, form a circle around me to take me back to the private taxi, but the men suddenly started attacking them. A fight between the police and the men erupted.”
