The National Prosecuting Authority NPA says the recent fatal shooting of alleged underworld figure Andre Naude , an accused in the murder trial of steroid king Brian Wainstein, will not hinder the trial underway in the Western Cape High Court.
Naude is the latest accused in the matter to have been killed in a suspected hit. He was shot dead in Cape Towns northern suburb of Parow on Thursday.
Notorious for his role in the nightclub security scene in the Mother City. 55-year-old Naude was on trial alongside alleged gang leader Jerome Booysen and others at the time of his murder.
He died after sustaining multiple bullet wounds when the occupants of a charcoal-coloured BMW allegedly fired shots at him in Voortrekker Road.
Together with the now-deceased Mark Lifman, Naude and Booysen were charged with the murder of international steroid smuggler Wainstein in his upmarket Constantia home in 2017.
