UPDATE: 31 July, 10am:
However, the couple had to pay R1 730 for the bullet holes that damaged their rental car.
Ihdigbo said he and his partner were doing their groceries in Sandton before the attack. “I think the suspects in the bakkie might have been following us from the grocery store,” he explained.
“When we turned right, the [other] car would also turn right, so I decided to slow down.”
Ihdigbo said he slowed down towards the Grayston Drive off-ramp. The car – an Alfa Romeo – cut in front of him. He said after a suspect from the Alfa Romeo pointed the gun at him and his partner, he then swerved and accelerated.
“Two bullets and two empty cartridges were found at the scene,” explained Ihdigbo.
Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela, spokesperson for the Bramley police said no arrests have been made.
