The unnamed 51-year-old woman told SowetanLIVE that the incident has traumatised her.
“I am trying to forget about this because it’s been giving me a headache. I can’t eat and I can’t sleep … since the 8th [of August] I have been trying to block it out of my mind,” the woman is quoted as saying by the SowetanLIVE.
“Talking about this makes me feel angry. This thing is causing me stress,” she said.
“I don’t understand what happened and I am still trying to wrap my head around it because I am still shocked.”
In a statement made to the police, the woman says Sredojevic walked past and greeted her before stepping into the men’s toilets.
“After that I went into the disabled toilets; and when I looked behind me and realised he was looking at me,” read the statement she gave the police.
“I went inside and continued cleaning. While cleaning I heard the door open and when I looked up I saw that it was the same Orlando Pirates coach. He then closed the door,” the statement continued.
“He held his track pants and said I must give him for just two minutes. I did not understand and I asked him what he meant and he said again that I must give him for two minutes. He was undressing his track pants… and then I screamed and said ‘no’ and ran out of the toilet.”
