In a statement released through his attorneys, Jordaan insists that the allegations made by Ferguson are “unfounded and untrue”.
The full statement released by Jordaan:
It is almost a month since we learnt in a press report that Jennifer Ferguson has laid a complaint against Dr Danny Jordaan about an alleged incident more than 20 years ago.
Despite numerous attempts to contact authorities including two letters directed to the South African Police Service, we have been unable to determine any information about the whereabouts of the docket.
The lack of information is damaging to our client.
As Dr Jordaan’s attorneys, we have attempted to engage the SAPS and the investigating officer in this matter and will soon contact the National Prosecuting Authority in an attempt to have the matter dealt with as soon as reasonably possible.
We reiterate that Ms Ferguson’s allegations are absolutely unfounded and untrue and that her true motives are deeply suspect.
Yours
Mohlala Attorneys
