Ria Scheepers from Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa was in an attempted hijacking on June 23, 2015. She was shot at and almost killed.
She was followed from Oakfields Pick n Pay and only realized it looking back on the events. Her advice in order to be safe:
- Don’t allow anyone to help you pack your groceries in your boot, not even security.
- Look out for a suspicious car following you from the parking area and rather turn back into the parking area and report it.
It might be the car guards informing hijackers of soft targets or even security itself.
“Be aware of your surroundings at all times, life is too short to be too ‘busy’ and not take the time to make sure you are safe, do not assume, be sure (for your life’s sake and the people who care about you)”, Ria said.
“God kept His hand over me today, the second bullet jammed, that bullet was aimed straight at my head. I praise God and know that His Angels kept me alive today. In God I trust, His Spirit lives within me.”
