Werner de Jager had been last seen on Saturday morning.


His father-in-law reported him missing.


Werner's wife, Liezel de Jager, was found strangled in the garden of their home exactly two weeks ago after she'd gone out for a run.


Emer-G-Med's Kyle Van Reenen says a local farmer found him sitting in a car in a sugarcane field earlier today.


The farmer contacted security officials who called paramedics.


"The man was found to have been quite severely disoriented. When paramedics arrived on scene he was found to be severely dehydrated and in quite a critical condition.


"The assistance of the Netcare 911 helicopter was summoned to the scene and the gentleman was airlifted through to a facility for immediate specialist care." 


Liezel was a minister at the NG Kerk Suidkus.


Police say no arrests have been made in the murder case.
