Man Convicted of Killing Mother, Son

A South African gardener identified as Pardon Danhire, has been sentenced for his role in the murders of a Gauteng woman and her son.

Dahire aged Thirty-seven (37) has been sentenced to fifty (50) years imprisonment by a Johannesburg High Court for the murders of Nadine Terblanche and her son, Ruandre Voster.

According to the Gauteng division of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Danhire entered into a plea agreement with the State.

He turned on his co-accused, Frederick Stapelberg, who allegedly hired him to carry out Terblanche and Ruandre’s murders in 2023.

At the time, Stapelberg allegedly wanted to cash in on Terblanche’s assets and money. Stapelberg and Terblanche were in a relationship.

Stapelberg allegedly promised to pay Danhire R100,000 for Terblanche and Ruandre’s murder.

According to the NPA, Danhire was employed as a gardener by Stapelberg.

The NPA reported that a local security company discovered the bodies of Terblanche and Ruandre’s bodies were discovered by a local security company in November 2023 via a panic alert, pressed by Stapelberg.

Danhire and Stapelberg got into an altercation about the monies. Danhire then confessed to the murders and pointed investigators in Stapelberg’s direction, pointing him out at the mastermind.
