Northern Cape court hears of murdered DA councillor’s final moments

Shocking details about the last moments of murdered Danielskuil DA councillor, Johannes Baatjies, emerged in the Northern Cape High Court on Wednesday, when the “204 witness” in the case took the witness stand. The five men accused of the kidnapping and murder of Baatjies and a family friend, Jeffrey Nouse, appeared in court on Wednesday.

The State’s “section 204 witness”, Tiro Lekgotla, was on Wednesday called by the State prosecutor, Advocate Hannes Cloete. “When I asked what the deal was about, Charlie just said ‘you ask too much’. I thought it was something against the law, why would you want transport to come from Kuruman, which is 80 kilometres from Danielskuil, to go to Postmasburg. However, I told him that I didn’t have a car at the moment and that I was borrowing a car. I said I would try to assist.

“I thought - this thing is illegal, maybe someone might get killed or assaulted. I decided to be part of it, as I would only be providing transport. I spoke to Bonks and reported what was said. We agreed to assist with transport and to use his wife’s Jetta. Lekgotla continued by stating that when they reached Postmasburg, Charlie told him to enter the town.
