Woman to Sue After Dog Bite

ATTACK: OWNERS ‘MUST PAY FOR FINANCIAL LOSS, PAIN’

- Masoka Dube

A woman from Gauteng is considering legal action against the owners of the dogs that allegedly attacked her a few days ago.

Refiloe Motseothata, 57, was attacked by two dogs in Lindhaven, Roodepoort, while she was walking on the street last Tuesday.

Motseothata said she was seeking legal advice in order to sue the dogs' owner.

It is alleged that the dogs belong to Planet Seating, an office furniture store in Roodepoort.

“I need them to pay for what their dogs did to me. The fact that they attacked me on the street shows that they are negligent,” she said.

Motseothata said the attack left her traumatized and she had sleepless nights due to pain and nightmares.

Motseothata said the dogs came out when an employee opened the gate for a car that was waiting outside.
