A WESTBROOK resident has recounted her ordeal after a rock smashed through the passenger window of her vehicle. The incident took place on Thursday morning on the N2 just after the Tongaat toll bridge. Aliza Cilliers said she was travelling in a southerly direction going towards King Shaka International Airport when she heard a loud noise.
“I initially thought it was a gunshot because there was just this explosion of glass everywhere. I didn’t panic and kept driving. Thankfully I wasn’t injured and I’m grateful my children weren’t in the car and they were safe. It was only after I stopped I realised they threw the rock and it shattered the window. I just wanted to warn other motorists in the area to be especially vigilant as there has been four other incidents I’m aware of,” she said.

She said she opened a case at the Umhlali police station.
Cilliers’ close calls comes a week after the tragic deaths of Amina Haffejee, 16, and her brother Abdur Raheem, 7, who died when a boulder struck the windscreen of the car they were travelling in. They were travelling towards KwaDukuza (Stanger) on the N2 between oThongathi and Ballito when the tragedy occurred.
A R250 000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of suspects allegedly responsible has also been offered.
