, he recounted an incident where his father’s house was targeted by gunfire, specifically his bedroom window. Juandre recalled waking up with his girlfriend at around 4:45am on 6 September 2019, to the sound of a loud noise.He positioned himself on the side of the bed nearest to the window and sliding door. Without hesitation, he swiftly pushed his girlfriend off the bed and shielded her by throwing himself over her.As the gunfire ceased abruptly, he anticipated a potential breach of the house.
Additionally, Naude noted overlapping details between the Modack trial and the indictment of Mark Lifman, Jerome Booysen, Andre Naude and 11 others. The state alleged a violent clash between these groups over nightclub and restaurant security in Cape Town, resulting in shootings throughout the city as they vied for territory.
In an earlier testimony during the trial, the first witness, identified as Mr A, detailed an attempt to intimidate Jerome Booysen by pretending to deliver a parcel to Naude’s residence. However, Naude’s wife rebuffed the ruse. Mr A later returned and fired shots at the windows of the house.
