Nolwazi Tokhwe from Capricorn in Cape Town is being treated in hospital for a broken pelvis, fractured spine and injured right arm.
She says she was about to cross the road in the dark when a police van came speeding"out of nowhere" and knocked her and apparently drove over her right arm. According to eyewitnesses the officer, known to the victim, did not stop to help or to check on her condition. Tokhwe described the terrifying moments while she was unable to move after the accident, where she heard what sounded like rubber bullets being fired to disperse the partygoers.
The mother of two said she sustained a broken pelvis and a fractured bone on her spine."I don't want to go into too much detail regarding my medical condition, but I was told that I might have to use a wheelchair and would need a lot of physiotherapy," she said."I know him. Most people know him because he works a lot in our area.
"The whole crowd was shocked and scared. The police officers got out of the vans and just started shooting at all of us, so we ran," said the eyewitness.
