Three courageous Durban women miraculously cheated death at the hands of hijackers this week after two of them had been shot and a third thrown 60m off a bridge.
In a mysterious chain of events, the three women, who don't know each other, were either in each other's presence or in the others' thoughts during or after their horrific experiences.
Lyn Wilson was shot three times in the driveway of her Che Guevara (Moore) Road home; Yvonne Reddy, an estate agent, was leaving a house in Pinetown when she was shot in the arm and abdomen, and Kavisha Seevnarain was flung off a 60m-high bridge outside Umkomaas.

Yesterday Seevnarain's father, Jeewan, gave her some good news as she lay in the intensive care unit of St Augustine's Hospital: two of her assailants had been sentenced in the Durban Magistrate's Court to 25 and 40 years in prison.
Last Saturday morning, Wilson, 55, was leaving her home to go to the flea market at Golden Hours in Durban North.
Her granddaughter, Drew Weldon, 10, had planned to join her grandmother but just as they were about to leave she realised she had forgotten her ball. Drew ran back inside to fetch it while Wilson drove out of the garage. As she was pulling out she noticed two people walking down the road.
"As they were walking past they glanced in my garage and I thought to myself 'what are they looking at in my garage?'."
She said one walked past and then turned back and within a flash he was standing next to her open window.
She said the man grabbed the key in the ignition and tugged on it, but it would not come out. She said she pressed the hooter and the man pulled out a gun.
"I thought to myself "he thinks he's going to scare me with a toy gun" and then he shot, one after the other.
