Since the death of Johan van der Nest, his daughter, Nicole Cunningham, has no answers to what had happened in the early hours of Saturday morning, March 1. “All I know my father was walking home with a friend from Prime Time Sports Bar on Elgin Road where they have watched rugby. His friend lives close to the bar on Elgin Road and my father on Houtkapper Street. After seeing off his friend, he walked the rest of the way home alone. He must have been attacked between 1am and 4am,” she said. He was found near the Engen Garage lying on the road at 4am. The people who found him called an ambulance and he was taken to Tembisa Hospital where he died as a result of severe head injuries on March 4. He had no ID on him thus the hospital could not contact his next of kin .Cunningham said her father loved sport. He was actually watching rugby at the pub the night he was murdered. He played golf and provincial softball and baseball. “He was a very social person,” she said. A post mortem was done and it was established that Van der Nest died of trauma to the head. It is suspected he was hit with a metal pipe or a blunt object. -- Anyone with information regarding this horrendous crime, can call Cunningham on 072-288-0609. -- https://www.facebook.com/116298045063416/photos/a.178568022169751.48293.116298045063416/847603578599522/?type=1&theater
