MPUMALANGA. – Two brothers were shot on Saturday during a house robbery at their home in Witbank (Emalahleni). Francois Steenkamp (38) succumbed to his gunshot wounds.
According to a social media post by Karp Bonanza, Francois and Santa Steenkamp were at the Loskop Dam Classic and their two sons were at their home in Witbank. House robbers allegedly broke in while the two brothers were at home. The older brother allegedly tried to protect his 32-year-old brother and was shot seven times in the process. He died at the scene. The younger brother was wounded in the stomach and had to undergo emergency surgery and is reported to be stable.
