The two men tried to toss the lady into the vehicle with the driver on standby. Bystanders watched as the woman fought the perpetrators off of her.
Larry watched the video and got his message across by doing a countdown. The woman managed to escape in 10 seconds after she fought off two men, while a number of people stood back and watched.
South Africans were outraged that nobody tried to help. Larry highlighted:
“If she did not fight for her life, they would have taken her in five seconds.”

“Kidnapping attempt in Noordwyk, Johannesburg. Midrand area.”

“Ubuntu is just a slogan that we say to people overseas; there's no togetherness here.”

“I'm so mad at the people who didn't even try to help.”
@Tasneem Roberts861 commented:
“There are so many boys just standing around, where are the men?”
@Moeks pointed out:
“This culture of looking away because something is not happening to us is wrong, and criminals have learnt to capitalise on it.”
@Annie777 cried:
“The sad part is that people just stood there and watched.”
@kurshalennox explained:
“In this video, we see an attempted kidnapping happening right in front of people. This speaks volumes about the level of lawlessness in our country. The fact that criminals have the boldness to act so openly shows how broken our systems are. And yet, come the next election, many will still vote for the same leaders.”
