Following a brutal assault outside Claremont’s Tiger Tiger nightclub 18-year-old Sanet de Lange has spoken to EWN about Friday night’s attack for the first time since the story broke.
In addition to her recounting of the story, footage has emerged which shows four men attempting to talk to her outside the club whilst she is looking for a lift. The video has not been made public but here’s IOL with more:
In the footage, the young men notice her plight and attempt to talk to her. The teen [said] that she didn’t remember what the conversation was about. Moments later, they are seen following her out of the establishment.
At one point she is seen trying to go back into the club, but one of the men grabbed her by the arm and later two of them are seen following her out.
Jack Brice, a private investigator hired by the de Lange family to look into the matter, has refuted allegations that Sanet cannot recall the incident clearly because she was intoxicated:
“She is not drunk; I have reports of her blood tests and she showed no signs of being drunk. But as soon as she walked they followed her,” he [said].
He added that he believes the suspects should be arrested in the next two days.
“Her blood alcohol level was 0.06 – that is so low and probably one beer.”
A spokesman for the police said that the family have laid a formal complaint and the police are investigating a case of ‘assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm’.
Here’s hoping those responsible are brought to justice and Sanet can put this horrible experience behind her.
