The rape of a pregnant woman, allegedly by a male nurse, occurred at the clinic last Monday.

The area’s councillor, Ntokozo Mlungwana has strongly condemned the incident.

“The office of the councillor has contacted the head of the clinic, as well as the head of Hlabisa Hospital, and it was stated that the matter has been reported to the department, which will take the necessary steps,” said Mlungwana.

The councillor added that he believes the long arm of the law will play its role and justice will be served.

“We wish to convey our unhappiness with this issue as it is about the victimisation of a woman, as we have recently concluded Women’s Month. We will follow up on this matter until we get proper answers,” said Mlungwana.
