The 21-year-old woman is a student teacher at the University of the Free State\u2019s Bloemfontein campus and is currently attached to Lekhulong Secondary School in Rocklands as part of her experiential teaching programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe strongly plead for calm and space to allow the police investigation to take its natural course. The SAPS views all acts of violence, particularly against the vulnerable, in a serious light and is committed to ensuring that justice is served,\u201d said Kareli. A case was opened at the Kagisanong police station for further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim described the traumatic attack in a Facebook post. According to the post, while walking with colleagues to get lunch from an outlet near the school, they were confronted by a driver who allegedly failed to indicate and was driving dangerously close to the pavement.<br><br>\u201cConcerned about our safety, we attempted to address the matter with the driver. However, instead of acknowledging our concerns, he allegedly became aggressive and threatened me,\u201d the victim wrote. She appealed to law enforcement authorities and the university to ensure that the matter is properly investigated, and that justice is served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@slindokuhlekangunezi\/video\/7649997395341643028\" data-video-id=\"7649997395341643028\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@slindokuhlekangunezi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@slindokuhlekangunezi?refer=embed\">@slindokuhlekangunezi<\/a> <p>BLOEMFONTEIN \u2013 Police have confirmed that an assault case has been opened following an incident involving a University of the Free State (UFS) student teacher.
