Major Fred Kekana, Acting Gauteng Provincial Police Commissioner, narrowly escaped harm during a violent hijacking attempt at his Westonaria residence this morning. The incident unfolded when his driver noticed a suspicious BMW tailing them and, as they arrived home, a passenger smashed the car window with an iron rod—only to be thwarted by the vehicle’s shatterproof glass.
In a swift act of self-defense, the driver fired at the assailants, forcing them to flee and abandon a firearm in the yard. Authorities have launched an active investigation into the brazen attack, with no injuries reported so far.
The incident raises serious concerns about security in the region, but Kekana’s prompt response ensured his safety and prevented the hijacking. More details to follow as the police probe continues.
