Smallholder Willie van Zyl, 58, survives shot in face, found bleeding six hours later Sunday Dec 26 2010
--------------------------
58-year-old pensioner Willie van Zyl lay bleeding for six hours after he was shot in the face during an armed attack by four black males on his smallholdings near the Baviaanspoort prison in the Kameeldrift region of Pretoria. He couldn’t alert anyone because his cellphone was stolen.
-----------------
His nephew Johan Pretorius, 47, who lives nearby, said Van Zyl was shot while he was asleep at 1:30am in his bedroom. Pretorius went by his homestead early the next morning when he could not raise him on the phone,writes Hilda Fourie in Beeld. Warrant officer Mike Mbewe confirmed the farm-attack after Beeld approached him for comment.
“Willie was conscious but didn’t speak when I found him. He was lying underneath a duvet. He later told the paramedics who stabilised him for transport by a Netcare helicopter, that four black men did this to him.’ Mbewi was unable to confirm whether anything else was actually ‘robbed’ from the smallholding except the cheap cellphone. Van Zyl is single and unmarried. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Man-bloei-6-ure-na-skoot-20101227
