A beautiful South African actress has said she feels blessed to be alive after her car was riddled with bullets in an alleged assassination attempt.

Tebogo Thobejane was reportedly attacked with gunshots as she was in the Mercedes Benz car returning from the Saints Champagne Lounge in Sandton, Johannesburg on Tuesday, 17th October.

Tebogo was with a friend and a driver when they were attacked by three men who started shooting at her car, according to local media.

The footage shows the car’s windows smashed after seemingly being hit by the bullets.

Tebogo told local media: “We had a great evening, I was with my friend in the car and we were driving home around 11pm when three men pulled up in what looked like a florist vehicle and there was a white Audi following us.

“They shot at us and the bullet scrapped me on my back, it missed and hit my friend who is currently in hospital.

“It did not look like it was a robbery or an attempted hijacking. I have my suspicions – it looked like a hit.

“We are blessed to be alive, but my friend is in hospital and I am trying to recover from the trauma. I knew some people didn’t like me but I did not expect someone to shoot me or to want to kill me.

“Is it the money? Is it the club? This has become very unsafe. I am a mother, who will take care of my son if anything were to happen to me?”

Tebogo, who was travelling among different countries for almost a year, returned recently to South Africa and reopened her entertainment lounge ‘Club X’.

She said: “I don’t know, maybe it’s jealousy or the fact that I have come home to reopen the club but I am not scared. My ancestors would never fail me.”

Police have not yet commented on the incident.
