RSG het vanoggend bevestig Johann is gisteraand omstreeks 19:30 in ’n kroeg in Maboneng tydens ’n rooftog geskiet.
Die eienaar van die Zebra Inn-kroeg (waar die rooftog plaasgevind het), is ook tydens die voorval dood.
Anton Meijer van Pretoria FM het dié twiet vanoggend op Twitter geplaas:
#JohannBotha was shot and killed at a bar in the Maboneng precinct during an armed robbery last night. The owner of the bar also killed.

Johan Marais van die African Snakebite Institute was goeie vriende met Johann Botha en het ook ’n roerende boodskap op sy Facebookblad gedeel:
“The charismatic and talented Johann Botha has been killed in a robbery. My sincere condolences to those close to him. Many of you will remember Johann from 50 50 and Aardwolf as well as a variety of radio broadcasts on classical music.”
