Stellenbosch - Model Minki van der Westhuizen has spoken out about
crime in the country, after the murders of two of her family members
in Kleinmond.
Her grandfather's brother, Shalk van der Westhuizen, 78, and his wife
Marie, 73, were killed in their home on Sunday night.
Their bodies, each with several stab wounds, were found on Monday morning.
"We have to stand together to get rid of these savages," she said on
Thursday. "It is time they are wiped out. South Africa has no space
for thugs."
'Cowardly deed'
The model and Pasella presenter described the murders as a "cowardly
deed that brought enormous sadness to the family".
The victims' bodies were found in their pantry and living room. It is
believed they were attacked on the evening of Marie's birthday.
A neighbour found their bodies at about 09:00 the next day. The
birthday cake and teacups were still in the kitchen.
It appears as though robbery was the motive. A laptop computer, two
cellphones and a video machine are missing.
Police spokesperson Inspector André Traut said no one had been arrested yet.
