News24 reports that a 21-year-old student nurse at a Cape Town hospital was kidnapped while leaving her workplace and raped in the bushes near a local court, Western Cape police confirmed on Friday.
The woman was snatched on Tuesday while exiting through the pedestrian gate of Tygerberg Hospital in Parow. She was taken into the bushes next to Bishop Lavis Magistrate's Court, where she was raped. Nomawethu Sbukwana, spokesperson for Health MEC Nomafrench Mbombo, said the student was in her first year and was sexually assaulted by unknown men. "The student was released and received medical treatment at Karl Bremer Hospital's Thuthuzela Care Centre, with counselling afforded as well," Sbukwana advised. Mbombo visited the student on Thursday and condemned the "brutal attack".
