PATIENT ALLEGEDLY R***D BY TWO FELLOW INMATES AT JUBILEE HOSPITAL IN TEMBA
Hammanskraal – A patient at Jubilee Hospital has alleged that he was sexually assaulted by two other male patients during the night shift in one of the hospital’s wards.
According to the complainant’ he was forcibly taken to a bathroom within the ward where the suspects allegedly applied Vaseline to him before taking turns ra**ng him. The incident reportedly occurred while other patients were asleep and has raised serious questions about patient safety and supervision on the night shift.
Family members and members of the public have expressed outrage, demanding answers as to the whereabouts and responsiveness of security personnel and nursing staff on duty at the time of the alleged assault.
Sexual assault cases within healthcare facilities are rare but deeply concerning, often pointing to lapses in security protocols, staffing levels, and oversight during night hours. Victim support organisations have called for strengthened security measures, including increased night patrols and CCTV monitoring in public areas of wards.
