Pretoria – Ex-world heavyweight champion
Corrie Sanders died while shielding his daughter during a robbery at a restaurant
in Brits on Saturday.
Sanders, who was shot in the stomach, died
in the Kalafong Hospital on Sunday after undergoing emergency surgery.
He was shot while lying over his
15-year-old daughter Marinique. He’d
whispered to her to pretend that she was dead, Beeld reported.
His ex-wife, Sunette, said he’d been
a world hero in his boxing heyday and he’d died one.
She said Corrie had told her in the
ambulance to take their children home, as he didn’t want them to see him like that.
Corrie's brother, Mike, said the three robbers had fired indiscriminately.
"They fired about 30 shots."
Police spokesperson Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said on Sunday night that no arrests had been made.
