Nathan Hebler lay covered in blood, a few metres from his father near a fast food outlet at Vanderbijlpark in the Vaal Triangle on Tuesday evening. The two had just been shot by a gunman who had gone on a shooting spree.
Moments after being shot, Johan, who was still conscious, called his wife Catherina to come to their aid.
“Johan and Nathan were inside Slap Chips [restaurant] when they heard a bakkie crash into a car outside. They ran out and that’s when the guy opened fire,” Nathan’s niece Bianca Venter told TimesLIVE on Friday.
