Take a listen to what you had to say

In this day and age when hi-jackings are still a huge part of our daily lives, when and if it does happen, do you commend 

someone who fights off a would-be hijacker, or find them foolish for trying to fight them off.

A woman on the Berea in Durban has been caught on camera fighting off two men who try to take her car.

It's a tense few minutes as the two men, one carrying a crowbar, dash towards her. 

She tries to get back into her car but the men drag her out and then in a sudden turn of events, the brave woman manages to get the crowbar from the would-be hijackers and starts swinging wildly..

Her attackers then speed off.

33000 odd views later and most viewers on Facebook have commended the woman for her bravery but some commented that what she did was a dangerous and she could have lost her life.
