Johannesburg - Two men appeared in the Barkly West Magistrate's Court on charges of attempted murder, Northern Cape police said on Wednesday.
"Peter Watson was released on R1 000 bail while Rohan Bekker remained in police custody. The case is remanded to 6 October 2014," police spokesperson Andrea Cloete said.
The two suspects allegedly shoved Bothata John Daniels into the back of a bakkie after he went to Bekker's Rietgat Resort on Tuesday to look for a friend.
He was taken to the Vaal River Bridge and pushed off.
Daniels managed to swim to safety and alerted a passing police vehicle, Cloete said.
He was taken to hospital for injuries to his head and shoulders.
This is the second attempted murder case involving Bekker.
The other case is still pending.
