“We drove out of Khayelitsha while we having small talk then got on the N2. A few minutes later I heard snoring in the back seat when I checked she was out. I continued driving. I had the address so I didn’t need her assistance with directions,” he said.

Once they had arrived at their destination, the driver then parked at the gate of the lady’s home and attempted to wake her up. After several attempts, she woke up under the impression that the driver wanted to make sexual advances toward her.
