Charl is known as the man who returned fire at the terrorists during the St. James Massacre. He received a citation from General Acker of the South African Police, for his courage under fire, which halted the terrorist attack on the St. James Church, on 25 July 1993. His courageous action that night saved many lives.
Charl is a full-time missionary of Frontline Fellowship, the Director of our Africa Christian Action ministry, the presenter of our weekly radio program "Salt and Light", and the author of: "Shooting Back -- The Right and Duty of Self- Defence".
Since the attack Charl has taken the Gospel to the terrorists in jail and has been a guest speaker at their meetings in Townships.
