Nicolaas Heerschap was shot and killed on 9 July 2019 while reversing his Toyota Land Cruiser out of his driveway in Melkbosstrand, outside of Cape Town. He was taking his grandchild to school. At the time of his death, his son Nico was investigating Modack.
On Tuesday, a member of the Terrible West Siders gang testified that alleged underworld kingpin Nafiz Modack ordered a hit on a Hawks officer in 2019.
Mr A further stated that he was approached by alleged TWS members Riyaat Gesant, Fagmeed Kelly and Mario Petersen on 15 June 2019. Before the meeting, Mr A bought two .38 pistols from someone in Mitchells Plain to protect himself. ‘I was reminded by Brown the following day I must take out somebody so that they can get money, that they are going to work for a “baas”, which is going to be a lifeline job and that the boss is going to give us bulletproof cars.
He said the vehicle then jerked forward, then backwards and hit a tree. That’s when he knew the driver was deceased. However, he said, he was not aware that he had killed the target’s father and not Nico Heerschap himself. However, Mr A and his alleged accomplices did not get paid on the day of the murder. He says when he asked why, he was told it was ‘because of the boss’.
