Two Nurses Reportedly R@ped While On Duty In South Africa

Two nurses working at Chuene Clinic outside Polokwane were reportedly abducted and r@ped by an unknown intruder in the early hours of Friday, January 10, triggering a police inquiry into the gruesome assault.

According to police spokesperson Brig Hlulani Mashaba, the incident occurred about 12:30 a.m. when the suspect entered the clinic through the guardroom, which had three security guards on duty.

The attacker reportedly tied up two of the three guards and forced the female guard to join him into the clinic. When he entered, he discovered two nurses, ages 47 and 28, robbed them of their cellphones, and then led them to a nearby bush, leaving the female guard behind.

“He instructed them to undress, s3xually assaulted them, and fled the scene. The nurses managed to walk back to the clinic and were transferred to a hospital for treatment,” Mashaba stated.

Lt-Gen Thembi Hadebe, the Limpopo police commissioner, denounced the attack and directed a dedicated team to speed the investigation and catch the offender as soon as possible.
