A 20-year-old French woman studying at the University of Cape Town is recovering in hospital after she was stabbed and mugged in the historic Bo-Kaap, a popular tourist destination.
Watch the CCTV footage below. Although it is not extremely graphic, this footage may upset sensitive viewers. She was taken to the Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital when an ambulance arrived about 45 minutes later. “It’s a shock to all of us. There are lots of tourists walking around with cameras out. We have had incidents with muggers escaping into the quarry above. It appears it wasn’t somebody from the quarry. There was a vehicle involved that was not from the area. Its still a great shock, we need to have increased policing, not only in the Bo-Kaap but across the city.”
