About Wybrandt Elias Pistorius

Wybrandt Pistorius (1958 - 2011)

Brief overview:

Wybrandt (53), and his wife Magda (50), were asleep in their new home on a smallholding in Muldersdrift, near Johannesburg, which they had moved into just 12 hours earlier.

They awoke at 3.50am on 26th June 2011, to find two men standing over the bed. One of the men said "Hello, boss", and then shot and killed Mr Pistorius before shooting his Magda in the stomach. Their daughters (14 and 21) were also at home, but unharmed.

The bullet was removed from Mrs Pistorius' stomach four months after the June 2011 attack.

She had told her sister in hospital that she had recognised one of those men - the couple had just moved into the rental cottage and been paid to help carry in their furniture and boxes. Today, she lives around the corner from the smallholding, and finds daily life hard because of the constant reminders of her husband. Magda said: “The pain of losing my husband is worse than the pain of the bullet still lodged in my stomach.’
