I don't know why God is testing me‚ says emotional Amor Vittone after being held at gun point

Singer Amor Vittone is grateful to be alive after being held at gunpoint during an attempted hijacking in Johannesburg on Monday.

Amor told TshisaLIVE that she was travelling from Pretoria to Johannesburg at around 7pm on Monday evening when a man smashed her window and held a gun to her head in an attempt to steal her car.

“I am usually so careful but I had stopped at a traffic light near Diepsloot went I just heard this loud bang. The next minute this big man with a jacket over his head appeared next to me in the smashed window. I went into defence mode and just started driving. All I could think about was my children and I just wanted to make sure that I was safe so I could return to them‚” Amor said.

It was only when she was a fair distance from the scene that she realised her bag had been stolen.

“The man had a gun. I could have been shot or dragged from the car. I could have been raped. I am just grateful that I still have my life. My bag and purse can be replaced but my life cannot‚” she added.

Covered in broken glass‚ she returned home to her kids‚ only to find a single white feather laying on the seat next to her.

“I was protected by an angel‚ I am convinced. I was protected‚” she said.

She said that she did not understand why God was testing her.

“I told my family that I don’t understand why all of these things are happening to me. I broke my ankle in January and then Joost died in February. My kids have been sick and I have been fighting court cases. It has all happened in the last few months and I don’t understand why I am being tested so much‚” she added.

Amor was married to Springbok star Joost van Westhuizen who died earlier this year after a long battle with motor neuron disease.
