A 20-year-old University of Fort Hare student, who was allegedly struck by a police nyala during the Springboks' victory parade in East London on November 5, has died in hospital.
Minentle Noqhamka, from Mbizana, died at Frere Hospital on Tuesday, her family confirmed on Wednesday.
Minentle's father Sithembiso said according to information they received, Minentle went to the East London CBD for shopping but decided to be part of the masses who had flocked in front of East London city hall waiting to see the Springboks.
“She was knocked by a police nyala on her legs,” said Sithembiso.
“Her left leg was amputated at the hospital.
“It's very sad for us as a family. We are still trying to come to terms with this.”
This is a developing story.
