The frightened Patriotic Alliance member tried to rush outside to find out what was happening only for her colleague Althia Ryan, who is the PR ward councillor to stop her from going outside as Ryan feared for the councillor’s life.
“I heard a loud bang outside and I opened the door to check where the sound came from. That was when I was him. I asked the man what he was doing to my car then I heard a second bang as I was reaching for the burglar door keys. The next thing I saw was flames. Ryan added that the ward councillor was a victim of social media backlash and she has never received any threats before. According to Smith-Kaldine, who was elected councillor in early May, this was not the first time she had received death threats. She recalled receiving the first threat through a WhatsApp text message shortly after she was elected.
