HEROES! Construction Workers Stop Gun-Toting Hijacker in Joburg

A Gauteng man was saved on Saturday from a hijacking, thanks to the actions of a brave team of building construction heroes… creating the South Africa everyone wants!

Dino Salado posted a photo of his ‘guardian angels’ on Basically Bedfordview, and detailed what had occurred:

“I was almost hijacked outside my house on Kloof today. They managed to get in, shots were fired but everyone is okay.

“However, there was a fairly bright side to the incident. There were construction workers building houses next to us at the time and when they saw an armed man getting out the Golf R they proceeded to throw half-bricks and huge rocks at the car, screaming ‘get out of here Totsi’s!’ Etc.

“They continued to throw these rocks WHILE THE GUY SHOT AT THEM, until the car fled with a broken windshield, mirror caps etc.

“I would just like to thank the 28 workers who launched that endless volley of debris at the hikackers so that I had enough time to speed into my garage and close it.?

“Nice to see South Africans united against crime, you guys are champions!”

As social media user Doreen Warren Skeggs pointed out – there would have been one man who started throwing the rocks. “So pleased that the others followed suit. Well Done Guys. In a group of people it takes one to do good, others see and [follow]. People can get caught up in the moment like when there’s one bad egg and others live with regrets. BUT! It gives me some hope for South Africa when you read Dino’s story.

“I hope the construction workers get to read the thankful messages for them. Let’s all be that one person that does good however small, a smile or friendly greeting doesn’t cost much just a kind heart and we can turn South Africa around.”

The workers will see the messages.

Richard Munro said: “CT Building Contractors would like to thank everyone for the kind messages, we will ensure that the messages are passed on to the Staff. Many thanks once again.”

Leanne Clarke Ross Richard said “please make a fuss and show them how proud South Africa is of them ?”. Richard said: “We certainly will…”
