“The girl who attacked me tried to go for my nipple,” Msekele said. “She was going for my nipple,” she reiterated.
Msekele, who is usually accompanied by her protective guide dog, Romy, said she was with a friend when the incident occurred and had left her dog at home. Msekele has declined to reveal the identity of her friend.
Robert Kemp, director of Wits Campus Control said that the incident was reported around 21h30 on Friday night.
“It is believed that the suspect is also a student,” Kemp added.
Kemp said Wits Campus Control officers went to Milpark Hospital, to gather details of the incident from Msekele on Friday night.
“The matter is currently being investigated by the SAPS [at Hillbrow police station] and Campus Control Investigations Section,” Kemp said.
Msekele told Wits Vuvuzela that “the experience has been very overwhelming” and that she needs some time before she can talk about it more openly.
