An unidentified man in a hoodie attacked Bongani Fassie at a traffic light in Randburg, Johannesburg, causing serious cuts on him.
The musician claimed that despite having major scratches on his hands, the man fought for his life despite being hit in the chest with a panga.

Speaking to ZiMoja, he said, “I don’t know who the man is. I just saw him come at me with a panga. I was driving with a friend with my window down.”

“The guy was aiming for my chest but I grabbed him, tried to disarm him and he butchered my arm,” he adds. “He cut one of my major arteries, but I continued to fight.”

Bongani is scared as he knows someone is aiming to take his life as he has had similar experiences in the past years. “Of course, someone wants me dead. I first received a message saying, it should have been me who died instead of AKA.”

“I was attacked twice about over a year ago. But I don’t wish to play the moments back,” he says.

“I am not okay. I almost died. I am just glad to have lived to tell the tail. I will not lie, I am scared for my life, and I don’t know who to suspect at the moment. All I am doing is focusing on my healing and recovery.”
