Survives: white Witbank woman, 56, cut in the face, breasts, legs and body by unknown black male in orange overalls (pictures of injuries)
Journalist Corlia Kruger writes in the Witbank looklocal weekly that the unnamed victim of an attack at her Reynorif home Sunday 3 August, has blocked out the ordeal which left her face, legs and body bruised and covered in scrapes.
"I really can't remember much, she said, rubbing the marks beneath her neck.
She said she was attacked in the living room. "I heard a thud above the room, and then a second thud."
She went upstairs on the second floor to investigate and ran into an unknown black male who very likely broke into her home through the small bathroom window.
She thinks he was working with an accomplice. "He grabbed me, held my hands behind my back with one hand, while covering my mouth with the other hand.
After that moment the memories are vague, she does recall he cut her with a knife. "I think he tried to rape me,' she said, describing that her slacks and legs were cut.
"I must have passed out or must have blocked it out... ". The cuts across her legs and chest tell the story of the cruel attack, writes Kruger.
"One cannot think clearly at such a moment, I told myself to scream but not one sound came out,'she said, shaking her head.
Her son who lives in the cottage next to hers at that moment stopped by to see if she was allright. "The gate makes a lot of noise when it's opened, and the attacker then just grabbed ' little 'items and fled by squeezing through the bathroom window.
He took her keys to the car but fled without her car. She tries to remember what he looked like: sort of tall and yellowish wearing orange overalls.
The knife she was cut with was found next to a tree on their erf. She's still scared after the attack.
