Three dead! Durban dad unleashes gunfire on alleged hijackers in chilling dashcam footage

[Grant]

Dashcam footage of a bakkie driver shooting at alleged hijackers in Durban has gone viral on social media on Thursday.

The incident allegedly occurred in the Pinetown area on October 9, 2026.
Police are still confirming with Pinetown SAPS whether a case was registered.

In the video, the bakkie driver and his daughter,seated next to him, can be seen exiting their driveway, while a boy believed to be his son stands at the gate.
A vehicle allegedly used by the hijackers passes him and stops a short distance away.
A man got out of the vehicle and ran towards the bakkie.

According to a source, the man ran to the boy at the gate and put a gun to his head, while a second hijacker got out the vehicle, drew a firearm, and fired at the bakkie driver.
The source said a third hijacker was found at a clinic.
It is alleged that three men were killed in the incident, but this still has to be confirmed by police.

I know but this group would most likely bothered more people but due to the exterminator's work, those people can breath sigh of relief for a day or 2.

I live up the road from where this happened... Apparently it took the cops an hour to arrive. I certainly did not hear any sirens. Was eerily quiet after. I just went back to watching TV

Everyone is advised to contact Andreas

Andreas Mathios, spokesperson for private security company Marshall Security, said this kind of incident demonstrates how self-defence and a justifiable shooting come together in South Africa, which is “riddled with corruption, especially where firearms go missing”

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Good riddance. How many bullets are in that gun though ?

Thank goodness the criminal scum was a lousy shot.

Its not as if they are going to the range regularly to practice. Nor are they financially inclined to have ammo to train with.




If you are one of the people who carries a 5.7 it is probably cheaper just to give them your car than to shoot them.
