An attack from a City of Cape Town Employee

On Saturday 06th April I was driving in Khayelitsha Govan Mbeki drive in Town two facing Makhaza. Right on the robots I received a call and as law abiding citizen that I am I pulled off on the bus stop to attend the call. In front of me about 15 meters away from where I stood there were people who cleaning the streets with green reflectors working. One lady came to me and asked not to park there because they are cleaning and I nicely told her that ok I will be leaving soon am just taking the call am busy with and I went back to that call. Instead of leaving me alone she stood in my window while am busy talking on my phone and I stopped again and asked her to give me privacy, she told me right there that she wouldn’t, because she needs to clean therefore its either I move or get out of my car so she can remove the car for me, in a very aggressive tone. I went back to my call and the person I was talking to suggested that we cancel the call and we did. Now I got back to her and ask why is she rude and remember she has not moved an inch away from my window and car, there was an exchange of words until I asked her to move away from my window and by that time she was pointing me through the window and poking me on my face, she didn’t move and now I have decided to get out of the car and because she standing against my door I had to push her and guess what, she pushed me back banging my door. Her colleagues came trying to pull her away from the car then I walked out and ask if they can give me the number of their manager and am willing stand there the whole day cancelling everything planned for the day and wanted to report that incident instantly. She was taken to some shack trying to calm her down but she came out of that shack with a knife running straight to me and I ran crossing the busy car road to a salon opposite for safety and she ran after me and tried to get in but the owner of the salon stopped her. She was so angry and she screaming, crying, insulting me, calling names and she walked back to my car and picked up stones , one to my back seat window and went to my windscreen and bust it and ended up stabbing my bonnet. At some point she was taken away.

Guys you can imagine the humiliation, the trauma that I went through Saturday. I would love for some attention for City of Cape Town for a bad experience from their employee, for my medical bill for trauma counselling , and compensation for my vandalized car (Windscreen , bonnet ).
