Brief overview:
Gerrit (38), A well-known lawyer from a firm in Nelspruit died on the 19th October 2020 after he was attacked on his small farm in the Plaston area, Limpopo Province.
Gerrit Stander, a lawyer at Swanepoel & Partners, was attacked by a group of terrorists around 2 am. According to his father, Martiens, who lives on the same premises, the suspects allegedly cut the electric fence and broke down the security and wooden door to gain access to the home. “Upon entering, the dog in the house started barking. Gerrit went to investigate and it seems that a struggle arose. He was shot three times in the process and died shortly afterward in Kiaat private hospital, “said Martiens.
Christiaan, Gerrit’s younger brother, rushed him to the hospital, while Martiens stayed with Gerrit’s daughter (8). Around 7am the family heard news that Gerrit had lost too much blood and succumbed to his injuries. “We are grateful that we had time to say goodbye to him,” Martiens said.
