Following last week’s article on allegations of horror stories inside Intercape buses, two more women have come forward to tell City Press about their traumatic trips with the same bus company
Last week City Press reported how a 17-year-old teenager was allegedly molested by an Intercape bus driver in 2018 and another woman physically assaulted last month.Now it has also emerged that on December 10 2017, between 3am and 3.30am, a then 17-year-old teenager was allegedly molested by an Intercape bus driver while travelling from Bethlehem in the Free State to Cape Town.
The man, who identified himself as Sam to the woman, sat next to her until she eventually fell asleep after midnight, she claims. “The psychologist, a pastor, prayed with me and told me: ‘God wants you to move on from this, you need to let go and put it all in the past.’ The woman told City Press she believed Sam would have been able to help her case, but claimed that Intercape had not helped the police find him through their register of passengers on that bus.
“The hostess said the seats were only available for senior citizens, yet there were women of my age there and many available seats. I explained my situation to her and the two drivers just intervened uninvited, very rudely so,” Skade recalled.
