On Monday August 13 20122 SAPS student
constanble Mphikeledi Alfred Mahlanga 39 & warrant officer Amos Chris
Masilela 48 appeared in the Pretoria North Regional Court on charges
of helping the alleged rapist of this student
escape on Friday-night. Beeld newspaper writes that the two police members
apparently took the accused man to Dr George Mukhari hospital in Ga-Rankuwa in
northern Pretoria without handcuffs or shackles after he "complained of
feeling ill". He then escaped through a toilet window. According to the
charge sheet, the police officials were arrested that same day and later
released on a warning. The matter was postponed for them to obtain legal
representation.O utside court, the two followed Beeld's photographer after he
took their picture. They took cellphone pictures of him and his car’s
registration number.Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo
Dlamini said on Monday that an internal investigation had been launched into
the incident. Authorities would wait for the result before suspending the men.
Apart from the attack on the student, the alleged rapist is sought for three
other rape incidents. DA councillor and board member of the Sinoville community
policing forum, Arnold van Niekerk, visited the student in hospital on Monday
and said an example had to be made of the two police officers if it was found
that they had not followed police procedure.
Beeld journalists Sonja Carstens and Hanti
Otto wrote that meanwhile the 22-year-old Pretoria university student - who was
stabbed 23 times before being raped and left for dead last week is an
“incredibly strong and courageous woman”, one of her doctors said..“The
strength of the Lord is shining through her and her mother,” said Dr Lets
Pretorius (who also is on trial in the Boeremag treason-trial in Pretoria) on
Monday after visiting the student in ICU where she was in a stable condition.
Eight of her knife wounds were potentially fatal. Pretorius helped Dr Stefan
Rawlins, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and Dr Pieter Coertze, an
orthopaedic surgeon, in the lengthy emergency operation on the student
following the attack. The student from Magalieskruin, Pretoria, who was put on
antiretroviral treatment following the rape, gave permission to her mother and Pretorius
to give details about her injuries. Pretorius said a neurosurgeon had to help
remove the point of the knife blade, which broke off in her skull. “Judging
from the stab wounds, I suspect her attacker was left-handed,” he said.
