A 19-YEAR-OLD pupil was allegedly assaulted by soldiers in front of a cop shop.
It happened after she opened a case.
Tseki Malepepisa from Fouriesburg, Free State said she was chased by a farmer on Saturday after he ordered her to get into his bakkie.
But she fled for her life.
She claimed after opening a case, she was attacked by two soldiers who broke her right shoulder.
Tseki’s mum, Anna Mosila (53) said: “I was shocked to learn that my daughter was beaten in front of the police station for no reason. Now she will have to have an operation on her shoulder.
“I want justice for my daughter! She was attacked for no reason. On Saturday, she told me she was going to the spaza shop to buy airtime. But after a few minutes she came running back.
“She told me she had been chased by a farmer who tried to force her to get into his bakkie.
“She said the man had pointed a gun at her.”
Anna said when her daughter came back from the police station she was crying.
“She told me she was assaulted by two soldiers who pointed a gun at her outside the police station.”
Police spokesman Brigadier Motantsi Makhele said: “A suspect (64) was bust for drunken driving, pointing a firearm and handling it while under the influence of alcohol. Police are also investigating a case of pointing of a firearm and assault against members of the South African National Defence Force.”
