Wiandre Pretorius

Wiandre Pretorius, a 41-year-old South African man, recently died in a reported suicide at a petrol station. His death is newsworthy because his name had been mentioned in an ongoing major police corruption probe in South Africa. Just last week, Pretorius claimed to have survived an assassination attempt. The police are currently investigating his death. The corruption probe itself is significant, and Pretorius's alleged involvement and subsequent death add another layer of complexity to the case, potentially impacting the investigation and public perception of police integrity. His death occurred amidst the investigation into the murder of Marius van der Merwe, a whistleblower who testified at the corruption inquiry.
