'Cops fail in hit-and-run case'
Langelihle Chagwe
The family of a Soweto woman who was badly injured in a hit-and-run accident three months ago is angry that the driver has not been arrested despite the police possessing his contact details.
Smangele Khuzwayo, 25, from Mzimhlophe, was on her way to write an exam at the African Gainako Poverty Alleviation Project Centre in Orlando on October 2 when a green Opel Kadett, apparently travelling at high speed, hit her.
It is believed that the driver failed to stop at a red robot at the Noordgesig-Orlando East intersection.
Her family traced her to Chris Hani-Baragwanath Hospital after a three-day search. She had suffered a broken leg and an arm.
Speaking to Sowetan yesterday, Zodwa Khuzwayo said her sister has not been the same since the incident.
"She has been vomiting and appears to be confused. She could not remember her name when she was discharged from Bara on November 23."
Khuzwayo said her family was not happy with the lack of progress in the case.
"The police told us that they have the driver's address but cannot find the place."
Police spokesman Captain Nomvula Mbhense said the address obtained from the traffic department could not be traced.
She said the case has been closed but would be re-opened once the driver's correct address has been established.

Sixteen months ago, Carrinna Olivier took a leap of faith.
She packed her bags in upmarket Honeydew for Central Western Jabavu, Soweto, to move in with her future husband.
At the weekend, Olivier and Vusi Buthelezi were the toast of Soweto when they tied the knot at the Methodist Church in Orlando East.
The wedding was a culmination of a two-year romance which started in Sandton where Olivier, 31, met Buthelezi, 32, on their first day at their new jobs.
Although Olivier's mother did not accept ilobolo from her son-in-law, this did not stop the Buthelezi family from doing their own rituals to welcome their umakoti.
On Friday night, they slaughtered a cow to welcome their new umakoti, now known as Mbali Buthelezi, into the family.
Ululating and dancing friends and family dressed in traditional isiZulu and isiXhosa attires accompanied the couple from the groom's home to the church.
Dressed in matching cream and fawn outfits, the couple exchanged vows and wedding rings.
The couple leave for their honeymoon in Kynsna, Western Cape, today.
