2015-01-26 As has only become known this week, Mr Chris Botes 43 was shot down in cold blood at his Sonlandpark home on 1 January 2015 by a very violent black male gang.
The Botes family including Chris, his twin brother Gert just wanted to spend a quiet New Year's Day at home.
Shortly after 01h00am on 1 January an armed black male gang stormed into their home at Sonlandpark.
The gunmen terrorised the Afrikaner family: Chris' girlfriend, whose children also were present, was ordered around and couldn't help him after they shot Chris down and he was busy bleeding to death.
After an hour-long terror-ordeal during which gang also assaulted the dying man's girlfriend while Chris' son Chrstiaan 16, pretended to be asleep: terrified that he'd be murdered too.
The thugs finally fled with flatscreen tV, weapons, jewellery cellphones and two vehicles.
Since Christaan's phone wasn't robbed, he phoned his cousin - Gert's daughter, raising the alarm.
The twin brother rushed to the home and found his brother in a large puddle of blood. "We rushed to Midvaal Hospital but he already had a very weak pulse and did not respond to anything."
Chris died of his gunshot injuries in hospital. " Chris' devastated dad Lou dad 'the cruelty of this murder is inhumane'. He and his wife Elsa had six children: two daughters died
in a car-accident and the third one, Chris, now also was murdered.
Chris was a highly capable man who not only boxed as an amateur with his brother, but also was assistant-captain of the Goldfield's mine's rescue team, as well as a security official.
Whenever workers got trapped or had accidents down below, he was amongst the well-trained men who had to descend into the mine to save people.
"Chris' colleagues remember him, saying that he always called the team together before they went below for rescues -- and prayed together, said Gert Botes' wife Jeneane.
Jeneane said: "Chris has always done good deeds throughout his life. He often put his life on the line to save others. We miss him terribly.'
Chris leaves two children from a previous marriage, Christaan 16 and Chrisna 18. He was cremated on 8 January and the commemorative service was on 14 January.
One of the Botes' family's 'stolen' vehicles were found near Walkerville. The SAPS have not arrested anyone.
