Racial hate crime? Slow genocide after all? ” Man ambushed at farm gate and severely beaten with a picaxe handle then set alight in his own vehicle by attackers.”

Johan Pretorius was ambushed and executed on Thursday night, 20 June 2019, when he arrived at the gate of the cattle farm of his father-in-law Daan Wessels. Johan was attacked by suspects intent on beating him to death. The pickaxe handle with which Johan Pretorius was severely beaten over his body and head was found broken in two on the murder scene.

People who reacted on an emergency call of a fire at Mr Wessels’ s farm gate found the dead and burnt body of the 44 year old Johan Pretorius next to his vehicle. The farm gate was tightly tied with wire by the ambushers. The deceased’s personal belongings like his cellphone was found at the scene although he was burnt beyond recognition.

The farm gate was covered in blood in a grisly scene. A local security company got an emergency call at about 19:30 of a vehicle that is burning at the entrance to the farm. They say it appeared as if Pretorius was ambushed when he got out of the vehicle to open the gate. He was then savagely attacked and placed back in his vehicle before it was set alight.

It looked to them that Pretorius might have gotten out of the vehicle but then died next to his car. Johan and his wife Kobie and small daughter stay in a separate house on his father-in-law’s farm. There is a barn between the gate and house and that is why she was not able to see what happened. She just saw smoke and called her dad. He then discovered Johan’s body and his burnt out bakkie. The goal with this savage attack was clearly assassination. Police has confirmed that no property was taken by the attackers.
