"I am absolutely horrified that this is the treatment I have been subjected to when I certainly did not ask to be so violently attacked on my holiday in Cape Town. I almost died, for Christ's sake!"
These are the words of outraged US resident Walter Fischel, who recalled with horror the treatment he received after he was shot in the face and robbed of his belongings, and his rented vehicle stolen in Nyanga in November 2023, shortly after he landed at the Cape Town International Airport.
Fischel made headlines when he narrowly survived the attack in Cape Town.
