A sexual assault claim is being investigated against a Johannesburg metro police official, police said on Tuesday.

“The woman reported the incident to us yesterday (Monday). We have asked her to give us a statement and we will start internal investigations,” said spokeswoman Superintendent Edna Mamonyane.

“The woman told us what transpired and we are tracing a vehicle to the scene of the incident.”

She said the Johannesburg motorist had alleged that metro police sexually assaulted her last week. - Sapa
