Nursery owner in brutal attack

By MIKE LOEWE and MALIBONGWE DAYIMANI

Leading East London nursery owner Gerald Muller, 79, was punched, kicked and dragged by his leg – dislocating a replaced knee – by four attackers soon after 9am on Sunday.

Muller, who is still active in the 80-year-old family business, Floradale Nursery, was rushed to Life Beacon Bay hospital and then to Life St Dominic’s.

He was attacked in his weathered nursery bakkie on a road close to his home behind Burmeisters after he apparently ran out of fuel, said Antoinette Meise, a horticultural assistant at Floradale Nursery.
