ER24 spokesperson Ceri van Zyl said G4S security guards noticed a fire next to the R21 between the Olifantsfontein on-and-off-ramps South East of Centurion.
They alerted fire fighters and paramedics.
“ER24 paramedics found on arrival that fire services had already extinguished what seemed to be a small fire,” said Van Zyl.
“On inspection, paramedics discovered the burned body of a man lying on the roadside. His feet had apparently been bound with wire.”
She said Olifantsfontein police were called to the scene.
