Lerato Kganyago Goes Through Horrific Experience

Project Runway host Lerato Kganyago took to Twitter to share her horrific experience on Christmas Eve. She says she was strangled in Pick n’ Pay, Featherbrook Village by a man.

“I just got STRANGLED by an Afrikaans man in the middle of @PicknPay at Featherbrook center after his wife called my helper a K***** unprovoked and I approached her about it. Why these people get away with such still baffles me! [sic]”, Lerato tweeted.

“This Afrikaans man put his hands around my neck in front of everyone @PicknPay I just want the FOOTAGE! I want that man arrested!!”

Pick n Pay responded to Lerato’s tweets, stating that they were investigating the matter.

She has also opened a case at the honeydew police station.

In her tweets, she later added: “What happened today is not about me, but about those who have faced countless  incidents like this day in and day out and felt powerless to stand up. To Esther and those many others who have experienced the same attacks on their dignity, know that your voice matters!”
