Mihlali Ndamase has recounted a frightening incident that took place this weekend, which saw a man threatening to shoot her when she asked why he was looking at her.
Mihlali Ndamase was left shaken by an incident that took place on Saturday, 6 February 2021. The social media influencer took to Twitter to detail what had happened, sharing that although she was home safe, she was still frightened and upset by her terrifying experience.
According to Mihlali, she had visited a local garage when a man was caught staring at her. When she asked him what he was staring at, he threated to shoot her and reached down into his pants, suggesting that there was a gun in his pocket.
Adding to her outrage, Mihlali noted that none of the witnesses intervened and had left the man to scream and threaten her. She stated, “Imagine threatening to kill someone at a garage in broad daylight. I’m still low-key shaken, the whole time I was standing there thinking he’d actually get away with it. Cherry on top, nobody said anything.” She expressed her disappointment at those who watched and did nothing, and also added that she believes some men feel too entitled to women.

A guy just threatened to shoot me at a garage coz I asked what he’s looking at. How do you walk up to me in a store aisle, stand & stare then get upset when asked what’s up. I was so scared, coz he had his hand in his pants so he actually could’ve done it.
