Swart Johannes "Kolletjie"

shot and killed alongside his companion on 17 February 2003 during a violent invasion at a smallholding property in Hoedspruit, located in the Limpopo province. The tragedy transpired during the night when the victims were sleeping in the same bed. An armed intruder breached the security of the homestead, gained entry into the bedroom, and fired fatal shots at point-blank range, killing both Joseph Greyling and Johannes Swart, while they lay asleep. The attacker then ransacked the residence, looting cash from the property's safe, taking various household items and clothing, and stealing beer from the refrigerator before fleeing the scene.Following immediate investigations and tracking operations by the Mopani police, law enforcement arrested a twenty-eight-year-old Zimbabwean national identified as Peter Ndlovu. The case proceeded to formal trial in the Phalaborwa circuit of the Pretoria High Court. In May 2005, the court convicted Peter Ndlovu on all counts and sentenced him to two life imprisonment terms for the double murder, alongside additional concurrent terms of twelve years for burglary, fifteen years for robbery, ten years for theft, and four years for the unlawful possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
