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.
