South African musician Gigi Lamayne announced on her social media page that she and her team had been hijacked on the night of 19 May.
The musician was able to update her social media as well as her fans on the hijacking soon after it happened, because she says she escaped the hijacking with her phone.
My team and I have just been hijacked . H1 JG 75 TF GP Hyundai 2019. Please keep a look out . 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

“I just got out and ran with my phone. I know it wasn’t the safest thing to do,” the rapper said.
An hour later Gigi updated her fans that the car had been found. According to the rapper, the hijackers attempted to remove the tracker installed in the vehicle but it seems as though they were not fast enough as Gigi’s tracking company was able to locate the car and recover it.

An hour later Gigi she posted a tweet telling her followers how the hijacker attempted to rape her and punish her for throwing her phone into the bush. She then says that hijacking the car would have been enough of an attack on her and there would have been no need to sexually assault her.
He wanted to rape me as punishment for throwing my phone into the bush. Take the car broer. Just leave me intact.
