Pardon Danhire and Freddie Stapelberg appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court again today, where Danhire pleaded guilty to the murders of Nadine Terblanche (32) and her son, Ruandré Vorster (9).

Alberton Record reports the mother and son were murdered in their Randhart home on November 27, 2023.

Danhire, a gardener who worked for the couple, was sentenced to 25 years for Terblanche’s murder and 25 years for Vorster’s murder. The sentences will run concurrently, and due to his co-operation, five years will be suspended. The suspended five years will come into effect should Danhire testify against Stapelberg. He must also be declared unfit to possess a firearm.

Stapelberg allegedly promised Danhire R100 000 to kill Terblanche and Vorster.

Danhire will testify in Stapelberg’s matter on March 5.

Stapelberg pleaded not guilty, and his case will be dealt with separately under Section 157.

All parties, including Terblanche’s mother, signed the agreement presented before the judge, confirming that the sentence imposed on Danhire was appropriate.
