Hip hop star Gigi Lamayne says she narrowly escaped death at the hands of the hijackers who wanted to rape her.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, the “Bozza” hitmaker shared the shocking details of the hijack of her Hyundai H1, that she and her team were travelling in.
The star said the incident took place at the Allandale off-ramp, near Midrand, in Joburg.
“My team and I have just been hijacked. H1 JG 75 TF GPHyundai 2019. Please keep a lookout.
“That’s why I have my phone. I just got out and I ran with my phone. I know it wasn’t the safest thing to do,” revealed the star.
The star expressed her gratitude to God and her ancestors for sparing her life.
She added: “I ran for my life cause honestly, I told him to kill me before trying to violate me. Rather take the car.
“You won’t take my dignity though. And guess what? I know for a fact a higher power protected us tonight.”

In the video, Gigi is also heard in the background hailing praises to God and her ancestors that the car was found.
“Guys, the power of God. The power of ancestors. The car was found and they thought that they were taking out the tracker," she said.
She added: "We literally found the damn car. If this is not my ancestors and God, I don’t know what this is… the tracker people were used by my ancestors to find this car.”

Your ancestors are asleep, it's God's work. If it was your ancestors, where are they? Above or below? What do they do all day? Do they eat? How do they describe the place that they are at?
