A bakkie owned by Willem Kruger, who went missing in Mpumalanga more than a week ago, has been found in the Vaal River.
This was confirmed to Middelburg Observer by private investigator Mike Bolhuis, who said the vehicle was found by police divers around 10:45am.

While Bolhuis also told the publication that Kruger was found in the river, police told Netwerk24 the body found by divers was yet to be identified.
The bakkie was found near a low-lying bridge at the Henbase Lodge where Kruger was staying at the time of his disappearance.
“At this stage, we are asking that the privacy of the family be respected. From my team’s side, we send our condolences to Willem’s family.”
This is a developing story. Updates to follow as more information is made available.
