Community Gathers for Emotional Memorial Drive at Gas Station Honoring Fallen Police Reservist
In Brakpan, Gauteng, locals came together for a heartfelt memorial drive to remember former police reservist Wiandre Pretorius.
The gathering happened Friday afternoon right at the petrol station where he tragically took his own life.
Friends and family showed up with flowers in hand, paying their respects to Pretorius.
This all came just days after he narrowly escaped what looked like a targeted hit in Boksburg.
Pretorius had been named as a person of interest in the killing of Marius van der Merwe, who was known as Witness D.
Van der Merwe had pointed fingers at Pretorius during the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
On top of that, Pretorius was also linked as a suspect in the 2022 murder of Emmanuel Mbense.
