SA: Teenager hijacked, made to strip down…

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

An Austerville teenager is recovering at home after being hijacked at gunpoint, made to strip down to her underwear and then abandoned at a cemetery in KwaMakhutha, south of Durban, last week.

The human resources student, who asked not to be named, said she was grateful to have survived the traumatic experience.

The 19-year-old usually drives a Toyota Tazz but had opted to use her father’s Toyota RunX to run a few errands last Tuesday.

‘The two armed men separated and stood next to the car’

She was close to her home when a white VW Jetta stopped in front of her car.

“Three men got out. The two armed men separated and stood next to the car. They knocked on my window and asked me to get into the back seat.

“I was seated between two armed men and ordered to take off my jewellery and shirt.

“I pleaded, hoping that they would not take me with them, and one of them responded, saying: ‘Shut up, don’t worry we’re not going to rape or hurt you.’

“I was asked if the car was fitted with a tracking device or anti-hijack and then told to keep quiet.

“One of the men wanted my earrings for his girlfriend and told me to sit between his legs behind the driver’s seat. I was very scared.”

The teen was driven to KwaMakhutha, where she was told to undress and then abandoned in a dense bush.

She approached a woman in a nearby home, who comforted her and gave her a jacket and a towel to wear.

A man offered his cellphone and the teenager telephoned her friend, who called the police.

Two Wentworth police officer arrived and took the teenager to her family.

The stolen car was later recovered in Umlazi.

The girl’s father said: “Government officials are living in fully secured houses with bodyguards, but what about the ordinary citizens? What can we do and where is our country going?

“There should be an increase of police patrols and more community participation in neighbourhood watch programmes.

“My family and I just thank the Lord that my daughter is safe,” he said.

The man said the police had been helpful and supportive, and did routine checks to see how his daughter was coping.

“She goes for therapy twice a week, but I don’t believe that the impact of the hijack has hit as yet,” he said.

The teenager’s mother said the family had been held up in their home in January 2005.

“It happened in our home and it’s happening on the streets, and we just feel like caged animals,” she said.

Police are investigating the hijacking, but no arrests have yet been made.
