Alleged underworld figure Andre Naude laid to rest

CAPE TOWN - Alleged underworld figure Andre Naude was laid to rest in Durbanville on Monday after being murdered in Parow two weeks ago. 

Naude's murder follows that of alleged underworld kingpin Mark Lifman, who was shot dead in George seven months ago. 

Both deceased were on trial for the murder of 'steroid king' Brian Wainstein, along with alleged gang boss Jerome 'Donkie' Booysen and 11 others. 

Naude is the fifth accused in the case to be murdered.

Alleged underworld figures Booysen and Igor Russol were among those who gathered at the Bersig Anglican church for Naude's funeral.

Booysen and Russol are among 11 co-accused on trial for the murder of  Wainstein in 2017. 

Alleged underworld figure Lifman, who was shot dead in George last year, was also an accused in the trial. 

Naude's son, Juandre, made a moving eulogy in memory of his father, describing him as a strong man with a big heart. 

"All I'm going to say is that my dad was the greatest man I ever knew. I appreciate the support of everybody. My dad was a great man."  

Police have yet to make any arrests related to Naude's murder.
