|September 04, 2025
A PRIMARY school teacher is recovering from injuries after a nightmare ride home from school, during which she jumped out of a moving vehicle to escape an alleged attempted attack involving an Uber driver.
Police have confirmed an attempted kidnapping case was under investigation.
Last Thursday, 26-year-old Denusha Nicholas, a teacher at Vlottenburg Primary in Stellenbosch, had booked an Uber ride to take her to Stellendale, Kuils River, where she lives, around 3pm.
Her suspicions were raised when the driver drove in the opposite direction of her destination, towards Eerste River.
She said: “When I asked him why are you driving in that direction, he didn’t answer. We kept driving, then I saw he moved his rearview mirror towards me.
