“On Sunday we received very sad news. Kathy Potgieter and her boyfriend went fishing at Bobby Hall's farm dam, somewhere Between Amatikulu and Nyoni. They were attacked by two violent robbers who hit Kevin (*Kevin Marallich, Capt. SAPS crime intelligence unit) on the back of the head with a rock. Then they shot him in the face with a very high caliber gun. He died. Kathy was also bashed about terribly and raped. And then thrown into the dam to drown. They stole the bakkie, cell phones , Kathy's bag and their picnic stuff. The Induna of the farm was walking by about 3 hours later and reported to Bobby Hall about his find. Two local farmers, one with lifeguard training went over to the dam and swam in and rescued Kathy who was floating on her back.
Not much chance of a recovery – critically ill:
•She was rushed to Umhlanga hospital and had surgery on her head to relieve the pressure and was also put onto a ventilator to get her breathing again. She is critically ill and there is not much promise of her recovery. She now has infection in the stomach and lungs And blood in the urine. If she does recover the doctors say that there is a possibility of brain damage. She is still unconscious
- and not responding to anything at this stage. “
