Kgomongwe was caught in a crossfire at the scene, where he had the courage to fire back using his own gun towards the attackers, who fled the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The flamboyant \u2018Black Bull\u2019 Director Kgomongwe said he was grateful to be alive when contacted on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thank God that I survived the hijacking by unknown criminals, who were attacking, and I thank the good Samaritans who came to my rescue. I have now taken the car to the garage. I don\u2019t know the cause of the attack, as I am a peaceful person in my community. I am now communicating with the insurance company over the car repairs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further advised his friends from Eswatini to avoid travelling at night. \u201cI would like to warn my friends, especially those from Eswatini who usually visit me to avoid travelling at night to prevent such attacks,\u201d he said. Kgomongwe is in the fourth year in charge of the capital city giants since he took it over during the 2019\/20 season. This was on a five-year contract. He also owns Motsepe Foundation League side Ally Tigers, who are a sister team to the \u2018Black Bull\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Please wait while flipbook is loading.
