uMhlanga – A 35-year old man was apprehended by police after he harassed a woman and tried to force her to have sex with him at the camping site on the unofficial nude beach near Breakers hotel in uMhlanga.
It was alleged that the woman, who was employed by the Emzevelo wildlife to clean the camp site, was approached by the man who had his genitals hanging out of his trousers to deliberately expose it to the woman. He offered to pay her R200 to have sex with him. After the woman refused his proposition, the man continued to follow her around and pester her.
The distraught woman reported the matter to her manager who tried to apprehend the offender but he managed to run away. After reporting the issue to the police, Durban North SAPS members managed to apprehend the man and he was taken away and placed in a holding cell.
Captain Raymond Deokaran of the Durban North SAPS said: “The offender was apprehended as he was still in the vicinity and such matters are taken seriously. If a complainant comes forward a case will be opened immediately”.
