Uber South Africa has once again come under fire after a 27-year-old woman was assaulted by four unknown males while inside an Uber vehicle last week, reports Cape town Etc .
Cape Town resident Cheral Le Roux told The Daily Pod that she was travelling in a white Suzuki Uber from her home to Green Point at around 940pm on Thursday, 14 November, when the incident occurred.
The Uber stopped at a traffic light on Strand Street. Although the light turned green, the driver didnt move, the publication quoted her as saying.
Moments later, four men forced their way into the vehicle, held a knife to her throat and began attacking her.
One of the men reached under my dress and tore my clothing, leaving me exposed, said Cheral, adding that the Uber driver - who she believes is complicit to the crime - sat silently and did not intervene throughout the ordeal.
