Everything about this story makes me completely sick to my stomach.
Yesterday, we covered the basics of what happened at the Dros restaurant in Silverton, Pretoria, on September 22.
It’s enough to make you physically ill, but if you’re only now getting up to speed, here’s that story.
Overnight, a video emerged showing the chaotic moments after the “alleged Dros rape” (it’s ridiculous that you have to call it that, given that there is zero doubt that this animal is guilty, but he cannot be identified until he has pleaded) took place in the bathroom.
That video featured no pixelation, and the “alleged” rapist could be clearly identified, meaning that sharing it could interfere with any legal proceedings going forward.
The pixelated video, shared by News24, which does not fall foul of any law, “showed a man, naked and covered in blood, in the men’s toilet and patrons at the restaurant could be seen lashing out at him”.
Again, this is some pretty sensitive content:
If you made it through to the end, you’ll hear the “alleged rapist” defending himself.
He was arrested and taken into police custody, and is expected to appear in the Pretoria Regional Court on October 2.
