A local female security guard is fearing for her safety after reportedly receiving threats from a man who assaulted her at a business premises in Paarl on 8 September.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she fails to understand why Paarl police have still not arrested the perpetrator after a case was opened the very same day of the assault.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victim, who does not want to be named for fear of her safety, told Paarl Post that a verbal altercation broke out between her and the alleged perpetrator over a receipt at the entrance to a hardware store in Paarl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CCTV footage captured the perpetrator entering the store and slapping the security guard in her face.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She explained that they are two contracted security guards working at this specific store.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She explained that a verbal disgreement broke out after initially three men wanted to exit the store but could not as an item appeared on their receipt that they did not have with them.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They told me that the paint (as it appears on the slip) was still being mixed. I insisted that my job is to make sure that customers show me all the items that appear on their receipt.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“She said then I must go and fetch the paint myself, upon which I replied that I cannot leave the door unattended.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added; “Their behavior, especially the one guy, was aggressive from the start. One other customer even asked me when I started selling alcohol as these men were acting drunk and very suspiciously.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The one men then proceeded to shout at me. He called me a lazy b*tch.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said after she allowed them to exit the store, she followed them.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They were acting suspicious to the point where I even thought maybe they were stealing. I then returned to the entrance.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three minutes later the same customer returned and slapped the female security guard in her face.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CCTV shows how the altercation and fighting proceeds to the parking area of the store.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I opened a case that same day and now (three weeks later) that man is still free. He has sent threats to me through other people.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When I recently visited my boyfriend in Dal Josaphat, I saw him standing at the end of the road staring at me.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I fear for my life and even asked that my company station me at a different business. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“People told me that this is a dangerous man, and clearly even the police is either very scared of him or protecting him.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said even the workers at the hardware store were hesitant to give witness statements.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added that police should be able to identify the suspect through the CCTV footage and a number plate that her colleague was able to write down.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No feedback was received from police about the developments in the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
