Gunmen struck while he was waiting outside his mom's house in Durban

The son of Democratic Alliance police spokeswoman Dianne Kohler Barnard was hijacked in Durban, the Cape Times reports.

Peter Barnard was waiting outside his mother’s home in Durban on Tuesday night when three men pulled up behind his Audi.

They put a firearm to his head, pulled him out of his car, pushed him into the property and locked the gate.

The men sped off in their red BMW and his Audi.

He was unhurt.

According to the report, Barnard co-operated with the men when he saw a firearm.

Kohler Barnard said a tracking company found the abandoned car eight kilometres away.

Welcome to the SA of the ANC - thuggery is the order of the day. This could easily be political intimidation as well - this lady is a thorn in the side of the ANC.

I feel mean but I'm kinda glad it happened to a politicians son. Maybe now there will be a bit more shouting about crime. This is the world we live in (the one without VIP security) and telling us how crime has gone down doesn't help us to cope with these things.

So big deal. Now perhaps the MP will realise that the world on the ground is a lot tougher than their ivory tower.
