A 22-year-old Durban - KZN resident (identity withheld) sustained serious injuries after she bailed from a moving taxi in an attempt to avoid being raped.
The victim arrived at Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) HQ with her family at approximately 08:32 this morning (Monday). She is having difficulty walking and utilised crutches.
The victim informed Reaction Officers that she is a student of a college based in the Ethekwini Municipality (details withheld).
On Saturday (20/04/2024), she boarded a Toyota Quantum minibus taxi near her college.
The driver and conductor dropped off passengers while proceeding in the direction of Durban Central Business District.
After the last passenger alighted from the vehicle, the conductor demanded that the victim handover her cell phone, backpack and cash.
The female attempted to defend herself but was overpowered and forced to the floor of the minibus.
The conductor removed her underwear and attempted to penetrate her but was unsuccessful.
The female kicked a window on the sliding door and broke free before she jumped from the moving vehicle. The taxi continued without stopping.
A member of the public assisted the student and contacted the South African Police Service (SAPS).
She was thereafter transported to hospital for her injuries. She sustained bruising to her legs, her head and her back. She had difficulty walking since the incident.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) is appealing to witnesses to contact the Operations Centre on 0861234333.
