SANDF SOLDIER TO BE BURIED ON FRIDAY
SA National Defence Force Captain John Webb, 26, who was killed while on patrol along the Lesotho border last week, will be buried with full military honours on Friday, the SANDF said on Thursday.
Webb, who died after sustaining a chest wound during a shoot-out, was participating in Operation CIFAT II:2004, a regional initiative to combat the flow of illicit firearms across Southern African Development Community borders.
His killer, driving a red Volkswagen Golf GTI, opened fire on the patrol as he drove past. Free State SANDF spokesman, Captain Stan Makhele, said the killer was still at large.
Webb will be buried at 7am on Friday, August 20, at the NG Kerk Rowellan Park in Port Elizabeth.
