Police are rushing to the scene in Boksburg of what is believed to be an attempted hit on a man who was implicated in the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

This, after Wiandre Pretorius - implicated during the testimony of slain witness Marius van der Merwe - was allegedly shot at during what he describes as a possible hit on his life on Thursday morning.

Pretorius is under investigation along with several others in connection with the murder of a man in Brakpan in 2024.

A frantic voice note by Pretorius has been circulating on WhatsApp.

“Guys, number 13 Klapper Street, 13 Klapper Street Van Dyk Park - come and assist me here, 13 Klapper Street Van Dyk Park. They shot my bakkie…I don’t know if it’s a hit or something. I managed to get out.”
