The Citizen reports that an Eastern Cape retail store employee has applied for a protection order against her supervisor for perpetually begging her to join her and her husband in bed for sexual intercourse.
The employee further opened a criminal case after the woman allegedly assaulted her for allegedly refusing to sleep with the couple. Sanelisiwe Hloyi, 24, is said to be living in fear of the woman after she allegedly stormed her home last Saturday uninvited and allegedly assaulted her physically for rejecting the threesome offer. The assault at her home proved to be the final straw for Hloyi as she went to Makhanda’s Joza police station on Monday and reported the woman. An investigation into the incident is currently underway. The police have also served the suspect with a summons to appear in court for the finalisation of a protection order against her. In her statement, Hloyi told the police how her line manager’s unbearable and traumatising sexual advances forced her to stop going to work. She said the unwanted attention began in March 2023, just two weeks after joining Crazy Store, situated at Makhanda’s Pepper Grove Mall. The abuse apparently continued ceaselessly for eight months despite Hloyi telling the manager that she was also a married woman and was faithful to her husband. The manager has since been placed on suspension over the allegations.
