Doctor robbed on hospital premises just days after colleague was nearly raped, by PolokoTau
On Tuesday, a 24-year-old doctor bit off the tongue of her assailant in self-defence after she was attacked in the doctors’ toilets at Pelonomi hospital.
Mvambi said security officers responded swiftly when they heard the “unaccopanied” doctor screaming but they were “pointed with a gun by these criminals who then fled the scene”. He said because this move has broader security and financial implications, the department would hold consultations with the justice and crime prevention cluster.
Earlier this week, the department took to social media to reassure the public that security was being beefed up at the hospital.
