It is unclear whether the incident was a house robbery or hijacking, since Rev Braam’s Mercedes Benz was used by the suspects to escape the scene. However, police have been approached with this information. Also, Solid Rock Church, where Rev Braam is understood to be serving, has also been approached for further comment.
In the post, Johan went on to state that his father’s friend was stabbed to death. “They also killed my father’s friend, a wonderful man, retired Professor Kobus Naude by stabbing him with a knife in the heart,” he shared.
