On Sunday, during a service at the Querencia Ministries Church in Wierda Park, Centurion, three armed gunmen entered the church and began robbing the congregants.
They also repeatedly pistol-whipped the church pastor, Kobus Erasmus, before Pieter van der Westhuizen, brother of former Springbok Joost, reportedly shot and killed two of the armed men.
The third gunman is said to have escaped in a vehicle.
TimesLIVE spoke with some of the churchgoers who were present when the shooting happened, who hail Pieter as a hero for his swift actions.
Here’s the video TimesLIVE compiled:
Van der Westhuizen’s lawyer, Ulrich Roux, says his client’s licensed firearm was handed over to police to help with the investigation, which is ongoing.
