She said the man driving the bakkie, drove over her with the front and back wheels going over her waist leaving her in excruciating pain. “I can still hear her screaming for help as I tried my best to fight the driver to switch off his bakkie, but I was too weak. I managed to run a few metres away from the vehicle towards her as I thought he drove over her head. I remember I started shouting and screaming at God, asking him to please not let my fiancé die,” he said.

Charlene’s sister Marcelle said that the broken pelvis has resulted in Charlene’s loss of her left leg function and the family was raising money so that Charlene’s two young sons can come see their mother to boost her spirits.
