Koekemoer Sarel

He was attacked by his gardener, Jacob Pantsi Mmekwa, who had been employed by him for six months. According to forensic evidence and court transcripts, a heated argument broke out over unpaid wages. Koekemoer was initially struck in the garden, dragged into the house, and died after being stabbed twice in the neck. His daughter, Anja Swart, discovered his body in a pool of blood on the bathroom floor after he failed to show up for a dinner date.
