On February 5, 2026, Wiandre Pretorius, a man linked to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into police corruption, survived an attempted assassination in Van Dyk Park, Ekurhuleni, when three gunmen opened fire on his vehicle 16 times from a white Toyota Vitz.
He escaped unharmed and is cooperating with police, who are treating the incident as attempted murder with an unknown motive.
