Correctional Services denies Dros rape accused overdosed on drugs
15 April 2019
The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) said it noted with dismay claims by organisation #NotInMyName that the Dros rape accused had overdosed on drugs.
The organisation tweeted that the man, who is accused of the rape of a seven-year-old girl at Dros in Pretoria, was admitted to Kalafong Hospital for a drug overdose.
"We are told that 'he injects himself daily with a mixture of drugs they smuggle'. Angafi! He must still come and face the full might of the law," the organisation posted on the social media platform.
But the department said the organisation never engaged it about the circumstances which may have led to the 22-year-old being treated by medical professionals.
