Mother of 2, Monique Grobler, was walking home to Randpark Drive when she was attacked violently on 22 January 2014. A guy walked in front of her and asked for her earphones,' said her mother Linda Dale. "He hit her with a brick in the face and she passed out. Her attacker also stabbed in her in the leg and stole her cellphone. She woke up and she had no pants on. They have to take most of her teeth out. The doctors have to test for aids and she is taking arv's.
Fontainebleau resident Sylvia Legae was also mugged at knifepoint on 17 January also while walking home near the N1.
"As I turned onto Rabie Street I saw a guy on the highway,' she said. "He jumped over the railing and ran towards me. He pulled a knife out and asked for my cellphone. Luckily I didn't have one on me and he left. He touched my breasts and searched me.'

On February 3 2014, details were published of the aftermath and the effect on the thirty-year-old mom Monique Grober after the attack on January 22. Her relative George Putnam,m with her permission, has published a call to help her with her medical bills: she sustained horrific injuries, she and her children are badly traumatised and require trauma counselling - and she needs extensive specialist jaw surgery which the jobless mom cannot afford. Most of her teeth were shattered when she was hit with a brick and beaten. She has a broken cheek bone, fractured jaw and a split lip and pallet.

Georgie Putnam wrote on his facebook page: Feb 3 2014: "On the 22 January at noon midday our family member Monique (Grobler) was walking through the green belt on Rand park drive to fetch her children from school. She was brutally assaulted and stabbed in the leg, she was hit in the side of her face with a brick which resulted in a broken cheek bone, fractured jaw and a split lip and pallet.
Monique has been given a course of arv's for Hiv because when she came to her pants were ripped and off her body.
She has been going to Government hospitals extensively to remove what few teeth she has left over from the attack. Monique is missing 9 teeth from this traumatizing ordeal and suffers daily from lack of sleep as well as the pain from her injuries. The effect from taking the arv's has left her with a very low immune system and is battling to keep any food in.
She will still have to under go maxilla surgery and replacement of the missing teeth. Monique has no medical aid and is currently not working. Monique's son Duncan (13) and daughter Vicky (7) are having counseling to help them through this horrific ordeal. Monique has said today that she is happy for this to be made public so that if anything........ awareness of this attack and where it happened can allow people to be more vigilant of their surroundings and safety. Jaun and I are appealing to ALL of our business colleagues,family and friends to please contribute towards a fund for this surgery to happen.....
