“The whole incident is bizarre and totally uncalled for. We all get irritated from time to time but physically attacking people because they point at you or your car is ridiculous. To attack a visibly pregnant woman is barbaric‚” said De Lange.

Fourie is home recovering and the baby was not harmed.

Her mother said her trauma would stay with the family. She remembered when her daughter at the age of 12 was shot at for her cell phone.

De Lange said she did not intend to fuel people’s anger. “It is a matter of violence against women and children and the fact that a lot is said about it but people’s attitudes need to change. As women and children in South Africa‚ we must feel safe and protected - not threatened and scared.”
