High-Stakes Hijack Halted: South African Driver Leaves Everyone in Awe
South Africans are buzzing with amazement over a recent incident where a quick-witted individual outsmarted a hijacking attempt.
In a viral video making the rounds, a man brilliantly thwarts a hijacking bid aimed at his Renault SUV, leaving onlookers in awe.
Masterful Evasion Tactics: Outwitting Hijackers with Ingenious Moves
The video captures the man’s clever manoeuvre as he arrives to collect three individuals. Parking his vehicle, he steps out and warmly embraces one of the waiting passengers before heading inside.
Simultaneously, a trio of men attempts to force open the entrance gate, eager to breach the premises. Eventually, they manage to swing the gate open, and one of the culprits dashes through, making a beeline for the car owner.
In a split second of realization, the driver swiftly tosses his Renault SUV keys onto the roof, effectively foiling the hijacker’s scheme.
Rather than throwing in the towel, the thwarted hijacker initially retreats but soon makes a loop back. Yet, the driver doesn’t back down, managing to startle the would-be hijacker into fleeing.
Ironically, a South African Police Services (SAPS) van casually cruises by in the background, providing a surreal backdrop to the unfolding drama.

Not so smart throwing the keys, stop gambling with your lives
@Irvin_KK:
Police car passing suspicious people running all over without even stopping 🙄
@VuyokaziK:
My sister used to do when she got robbed, threw the phone on a roof. Dangerous coz u might piss them off but effective if they run away
@Uyi_nyanya:
Although the police van was passing by but I think that police van also scared him off , but ke throwing the keys was a very risky move
