DORNING: “History expert on the secrets of the SA 'bush war" murdered: Dr Warwick Antony Dorning, was shot dead execution-style at his Adamshurst Howick, Mpophomeni farm 2009-11-07 – an SAPS inspector, was arrested... Journalist Julia Denny-Dimitriou reported that the former senior government official and farmer was shot dead execution-style on his farm Adamshurst near Howick’s Mpophomeni area. He used to work as the chief-of-staff in the Premier’s office. Peter Miller, former Finance MEC - a long-time associate and family friend, said two armed men entered and shot him “stone dead, in cold blood, without warning,” The police were called and they found a 9 mm cartridge and a spent bullet on the scene.Miller said Dorning’s death was “a totally unnecessary killing. He worked for me for most of his career.
He served the new South Africa in a very high capacity with distinction for about 15 years.He was a really generous and warm-hearted person.He was a highly educated man and an accomplished historian. Much of his PhD thesis, which covered recent South African history, including the bush war, is still classified. A kind and good man has been wantonly killed when he still had so much to offer.” It was reported later in The Witness that among the three arrested men had been a Howick falls SAPS-inspector Michael Sokhela.
