Marshall Security says they were alerted to the scene by a local neighbourhood watch group.


Kyle van Reenen - who's with the security group - says a group of school children visited the spaza shop on the property last week and discovered the man.


"The kids said they were too scared to notify the authorities , but eventually came forward this morning with the information. It's believed the man has been deceased for plus minus two weeks - of natural causes."


The case has been handed-over to SAPS for further investigation.
