Willie van Zyl shot in face, Kameeldrift smallholding

Smallholder Willie van Zyl, 58, survives shot in face, found bleeding six hours later Sunday Dec 26 2010

--------------------------

58-year-old pensioner Willie van Zyl lay bleeding for six hours after he was shot in the face during an armed attack by four black males on his smallholdings near the Baviaanspoort prison in the Kameeldrift region of Pretoria. He couldn’t alert anyone because his cellphone was stolen.

-----------------

His nephew Johan Pretorius, 47, who lives nearby, said Van Zyl was shot while he was asleep at 1:30am in his bedroom. Pretorius went by his homestead early the next morning when he could not raise him on the phone,writes Hilda Fourie in Beeld. Warrant officer Mike Mbewe confirmed the farm-attack after Beeld approached him for comment.

“Willie was conscious but didn’t speak when I found him. He was lying underneath a duvet. He later told the paramedics who stabilised him for transport by a Netcare helicopter, that four black men did this to him.’ Mbewi was unable to confirm whether anything else was actually ‘robbed’ from the smallholding except the cheap cellphone. Van Zyl is single and unmarried. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Man-bloei-6-ure-na-skoot-20101227

VIRGINIA. –  On December 11 2010, Masimong Mine’s shift boss Willie Diesel, 49, was knifed down by three black males enroute to his job when he stabbed to death while withdrawing cash. He put up a fierce fight: his clothes were shredded and torn, said police.

 Diesel Willie shift boss murdered Virginia mine Dec 14 2010 three blacks arrested Volksblad journalist Tom de Wet  wrote that Mr Diesel was stabbed to death by three black knifemen while he was withdrawing money early in the morning at 4:18am so that he could pay for a sheep which he and his workers were planning to braai at work that day.

SAPS constable Konst. Antoinette Pakela said two of the three suspected murderers were tracked down by warrant-officer Jaco van Rensburg of the Viriginia police  in the Meloding township. A third suspect was already in custody, arrested as a rape-accused.

The unemployed black males aged 20, 21 and 23, were remanded for their bail-application date on Friday, December 31 (? on New Year’s eve?). The cowards had allegedly stabbed the Afrikaner shift-boss in the back and in the heart while he struggled fiercely. He apparently still tried to stagger away to find help because his car-keys were stolen but he collapsed 300 metres from the scene and died. The bank does not have any security guards, the newspaper noted. Strangely, although his car-keys were stolen, Diesel’s car was still parked at the crime scene when the police arrived.http://www.volksblad.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Drie-gevang-na-skofbaas-moord-20101221
