Shocking Suicide or Sinister Cover-Up? X Erupts Over Wiandre Pretorius's Death and the Dark Underbelly of SA Crime!

What's trending on X

X users are mostly finding it hard to believe that former police reservist Wiandre Pretorius, whose name came to light during Madlanga Commission hearings, took his own life.

@AdvoBarryRoux Who killed Wiandre Pretorius? This is the whole point of these commission of inquiries. They stall and give the wrongdoers enough time to eliminate witnesses by the time the commission ends and people are referred for prosecution, there are no witnesses, just allegations!

@Whistle Zietgeisaretaliation for D. Could Pretorius be suspected of involvement in witness D’s murder?

@Tebogo_M21 Criminals are taking themselves out....zakhala (It’s going down)!!! We can never thank Mkhwanazi enough!

@AbutiWest Witnesses get killed in this country and business continues as usual.

@Noba1802 Ekurhuleni looks like the worst of them all. It is a whole crime scene. Scary, yooh!

@RamoabiT He killed himself. He was not a witness> He was implicated in a murder case

@TaperaEmmanuel They are ALL criminals eliminating each other, jail term is not good enough, they MUST all die.

@mrloveness It was no suicide; we are not fools, bruh.

@Abramjee Wiandre Pretorius has taken his own life. He reportedly shot himself at a petrol filing station in Brakpan on the East Rand. Earlier this week, he claimed there was an attempt on his life outside his Boksburg home. Pretorius and others were implicated in the murder of a Brakpan suspect in 2022. @RSA_IPID has finalised its investigation and referred the docket to Public Prosecutions.

@henreiy I wouldn’t even be surprised if Wiandre Pretorius staged that ‘attempt’ on his life outside his home last week.

@Ntshekzan The death of Wiandre Pretorius is yet another stark reminder of the gravity of crime in South Africa. When someone chooses death over accountability, it reflects just how deep the rot runs. This is not tragedy, it is the brutal consequence of a system soaked in corruption, crime, and impunity.

@BafanaSurprise Police reservist Wiandre Pretorius shot himself in Brakpan. This more proof that everything is staged, and that the master is taking out the key witnesses one by one. Pretorius and his partner were implicated in a 2022 murder case, that led to torture and brutal killing of Emmanuel Mbense. The Madlanga Commission has proven to us that criminals are above the law. I believe he was killed.
