taken to hospital for a medical examination following the incident
“We were driving on
the N2 in the dark and it was raining hard at around 2 in the morning and
suddenly a man appeared along the highway and threw and object at us, which
smashed the front left window where Oratile was sitting. We managed to get away
and we drove further until we could find law enforcement officers to whom we
reported the matter. After that, we drove anxiously towards the City, and took
Oratile to the hospital for a check-up,” said Corbin August, SABC reporter.
