The streets of South Africa seem to be getting more and more dangerous. If you’re driving, then you have to look out for hijackers, and if you’re walking you could get snatched up.
South Africans are fighting back though, as we saw in this video of a granny taking on some armed hijackers, and this guy who decided to wreck his car rather than hand it over.
On Tuesday, 21-year-old Charmaine Erick was walking home from college when she narrowly escaped being kidnapped.
Times LIVE reports that “footage shows a man jump out of a van and chase Erick”.
The girl tussles with the man and manages to run into her home, which was only metres away. The man then jumps back in the van, which speeds off.
Erick’s sister, Pamela Dubazane, told News24 she is certain it was an attempted kidnapping because the men did not ask Erick for any of her valuables.
“They just wanted her to get inside the car,” said Dubazane.
Scary stuff. Take a look:
If you see a white van coming towards you in Jozi, run.
