Nadat die koeël mnr. Marthinus Beukes (28) by die Game-winkelsentrum in die bors getref het, het dit ook mnr. Extra Mashita, ’n Gautenger, in die maag getref.
Die koeël het ook vir Mashita, wat na Game geloop het, getref.

Semi-retired accountant and Mowbray Golf Club stalwart Charlie Upton was shot dead in his Rondebosch driveway in an attempted hijacking as his long-time friend Des Newton looked on.
Police said Newton chased the men after seeing his friend fall to the ground after the shooting just after 10pm on Wednesday, but they escaped.
Rondebosch police spokesperson Inspector Lyndon Sisam said Upton, 72, had just pulled his Mercedes Benz into his driveway in Hesseldon Street when he was cornered by two men.
"The information we received was from his friend who had been driving behind him when the incident occurred," Sisam said.
He said that when Newton took the turn into the road, he saw Upton fall to the ground.
"The car door was still open; he thought his friend was being robbed," Sisam said.
Newton gave chase but lost the men when they split up at a nearby T-junction.
"(Newton) said he tried to follow one of them as he ran down the side streets, but he managed to get away," Sisam said.
When Newton returned to the house, he learnt that Upton was dead.
Upton had been shot once in the chest.
The car keys were all that was missing from the scene.

Boer herken glo 2 rowers wat hom in die boud skiet
Dec 15 2008 09:39:38:597PM - (SA)
’n Boer van ’n plaas naby Nigel reken hy ken twee van die drie rowers in wie hy homself eergisteroggend op sy werf vasgeloop en wat hom in die boud geskiet het.
Mnr. Herman Bothma (45) se vrou, Aletta (42), het gister gesê hy is baie gelukkig dat die koeël nie ernstige skade veroorsaak het nie.
“Hy is in ’n baie goeie toestand in die Glenwood-hospitaal in Benoni en by sy volle bewussyn. Hy is baie gelukkig; dit kon veel erger gewees het,” het mev. Bothma gesê.
Mnr. Bothma het volgens sy vrou eergister omstreeks 01:20 wakker geword toe die honde op sy werf aanhoudend begin blaf het.
“Hy het uitgeloop om te gaan kyk wat aangaan, maar niks opgemerk nie en weer in die bed geklim.
“Die honde het egter aangehou blaf en hy het weer opgestaan om te gaan kyk of een van die melkkoeie nie dalk uit die kraal gekom het nie.
“Hy het buitentoe gegaan en gesien hoe die honde heeltyd om ’n watertenk op die erf geloop en blaf het.
“Dis toe hy om dié tenk stap dat hy die drie rowers gewaar het. Een van hulle het hom eenvoudig daar en dan geskiet en toe het al drie weggehardloop.
“Die koeël het by sy linkerlies ingegaan en by sy regterboud uitgegaan.
“Dit lyk of die rowers van ons skape wou steel, want daar was spore buite die skaapkraal.”
Sy het gesê haar man reken dat twee van die drie rowers plaaswerkers in die omgewing is. “Hy het gesê die een het gelyk soos ’n werker wat destyds op ons plaas gewerk het, en nog een het gelyk soos ’n werker wat op ’n naburige plaas werk,” het sy gesê.
Konst. Daisy Ndlela, polisiewoordvoerder van die Devon-polisiekantoor, het gister die voorval bevestig. – Fanie van Rooyen

Op Kommando: Meer Misdaad en Geweldskonflik is ons Voorland
Nuut op Die nuwe Suid-Afrika (DnSA)! Die bekende rubriekskrywer Vlad du Plessis sal voortaan ook gereelde bydraes hier op DnSA lewer. Hieronder is sy eerste skrywe vir sy unieke en aktuele rubriek-kolom, alleen op DnSA, genaamd 'Op Kommando'.
(deur Vlad du Plessis)
Die sg “Minister van Binnelandse Sake” se stelling dat grensbeheer effektief afgeskaf word, is eenvoudig skokkend. Aldus die sogenaamde ‘minister’ behels die beleid dat daar eerder gepoog sal word om immigrasie te fasiliteer as om dit te beperk. Wat hierdie absurde benadering soveel vererger is dat die verslegtende krisis in Zimbabwe ‘n toename in onwettige immigrasie na Suid Afrika beteken. Hiermee het die kommunistiese bende wat Suid Afrika regeer basies aangekondig dat hulle die grense vir Sub-Sahara Afrika se 600 miljoen armlastiges amptelike oopgooi. Met hierdie beleid plaas die ANK-Kommunistiese Party-‘Cosatu’ sindikaat Suid Afrika op koers na algehele anargie.
Hoewel die amptelike syfer dui daarop dat ongeveer 30 000 onwettiges per maand intstroom het onafhanklike peilings reeds aangedui dat dit waarskynlik hoer as 100 000 per maand is. In ieder geval, dat Suid Afrika spoedig besig is om te ontaard in 'n land van mega krotstede, waar kilometers van uitgehongerde plakkerskampe klein eilande van middelklas blanke woonbuurte omsingel, is reeds die werklikheid. Hierdie plakkerskampe staan op die punt om mega vestings te raak met miljoene desperate afrikane wat die ‘wit eilande’ as hul hoof bron vir plundering en oorlewing sal aanwend. Die reeds gehawende sekerheidssituasie in blanke buurte staan op die punt om in groter anargie te verval. Voeg hierby die ANC se beleid om derduisende, selfs miljoene, swartes op oop areas in blanke buurtes te vestig, is dit duidelik dat blankes in Suid Afrika ‘n fisieke oorlewingstryd in die gesig staar.
Die ANK regime verklaar daagliks oorlog teen Afrikaners deur anti-wit haatspraak wat deur sy mondstuk die sg “SABC”, ANK gesinde koerante, sg. ‘dokumentere programme’, swart radio stasies en vanaf politieke verhoee verkondig word. (Hiermee saam sterk die Afrikaanse ANK-meeloper mediagroep, Media24/Naspers, ook die kleptokratiese ANK-regime deur konstant Afrikaners te probeer mislei oor die werklike stand van sake in die land). Elke dag word die swart massa herinner aan wie die vyand is. Die ‘vyand’ is u, die blanke, en meer spesifiek die Afrikaner. ANK se in effek vir sy ondersteuners: “Kyk, daar is die witman, hy is die vyand. Gaan vat van hom wat jy wil en doen met hom soos jy wil.” Dit is die mees populere vorm van sogenaamde ‘regstellende aksie’ in Suid Afrika.
Afrikaners kan nie langer bekostig om in ‘n toe-oe-sportbehepte-beswyming te verkeer waar daar geen bewustheid rondom hierdie oorlewingskrisis bestaan nie. Bewustheid, ingeligdheid en paraatheid moet deel van elke Afrikaner se denk en leefwyse word. Afrikaners moet opgelei word om hulself met elke moontlike wapen te verdedig. Hierdie skrywer beveel aan dat plattelandse en stedelike Afrikaners die Transvaalse Landbou Unie (TLU SA) se veiligheidsarm kontak om daardie organisasie se weerbaarheidsopleidingsprogramme by te woon. TLU het reeds ‘n oop uitnodiging aan Afrikaners gerig om sulke programme by te woon.
Soos in die onlangse Praag rubriek deur Gustav Venter, wil hierdie skrywer ook elke Afrikaner aanmoedig om ‘n vuurwapen te bekom en opgelei te word hoe om dit te hanteer. Afrikaners wat onderdruk verkeer om van wettige vuurwapens ontslae te raak moet kundige advies inwin oor die prosedure om sulke wapens en lisensies te behou. Om in hierdie dae van 'n vuurwapen ontslae te raak kan in effek so erg wees as om selfmoord te pleeg, aangesien daardie wapen jou lewe mag red.
Die situasie is reeds so sleg en gaan in die tyd wat kom so handuit ruk dat bo en behalwe die sporadiese aanvalle deur swart bendes, op wit huise, groter skaal aanvalle verwag kan word. Met die konstante haatspraak is dit gans moontlik dat massas uit die plakkerskampe hul op ‘n kritieke stadium kan opruk teen ‘n blanke buurt(e) en Afrikaners(blankes) voor die voet afmaai met kapmesse en vuurwapens.
Afrikaners in stedelike woonbuurte moet soos die Groen Ligte (georganiseer deur TLU Veiligheid) hulself in ‘n burgerwag organiseer. Elke woonbuurt moet oor opgeleide burgerwaglede beskik met ‘n sentrale bevelstruktuur. "Daar moet gebeurlikheidsplanne rondom verdedigingscenarios ontwikkel word. Sulke beplanning moet insluit hoe om aanvalle af te weer en hoe om ‘n woonbuurt, voorstad, dorp of selfs ganse stedelike gebied (soos Pretoria Oos) binne minute af te sluit en te verdedig."
Sulke planne kan ook aangewend word om ANK se planne, om die geforseerde invoer van arm swartes in Pretoria se blanke woonbuurte en voorstede, te voorkom.
Hoewel hierdie skrywer oor min kennis omtrent die nuutgestigte Kommandokorps beskik, word die advies hier verleen dat Afrikaners hulself verwittig met wat daardie organisasie se aktiwiteite en lidmaatskap behels. Indien dit wel 'n tipe burgerwagorganisasie is, soos dit blyk te wees, mag dit raadsaam wees vir Afrikaners om in groot getalle daarby aan te sluit.
Ons moet aanvaar dat FW de Klerk se verraderlike 1994 oorgawe aan ANK onvermydelik op ‘n geweldskonflik gaan uitloop waarin die swartmeerderheid ons finaal vanaf die Afrika kontinent gaan probeer afvee. Ons moet regstaan daarvoor. Afrikaners moet so georganiseerd wees, dat ons nie bloot reageer op die vyand se aanslag nie, maar dat ons die verloop van die konflik kan dikteer.

A man who was once one of Pretoria's most prominent primary school principals is fighting for his life in hospital after he was shot in the head while saving his daughter from a hijacker.
Joe Pretorius, 67, and his wife, Cathy, were saying goodbye to their daughter, Karen Pretorius, after celebrating their wedding anniversary on Monday night when they were attacked outside their Brooklyn home.
The attack took place as Pretorius, who had come to wish her parents well, was about to drive off.
Spotting the lone gunman running out from behind his daughter's car, Pretorius - the founding principal of Glenstantia Primary School - screamed out a warning, fearing that she would reverse into him.
His screams then turned into ones of horror when the man pulled out a gun and opened his daughter's car door.
Fearing the gunman would shoot his daughter Pretorius tackled the man to the ground as his wife tried to disarm him.
As the couple struggled with the gunman, he opened fire, shooting Pretorius in the head and the buttocks.
The bullet, which struck Pretorius above the right eye, severed one of his carotid arteries before lodging in his spine.
Pretorius, critically injured, managed to run into his garage where he pressed a panic button before collapsing.
Miraculously, the swelling from his injuries closed off the tear in his artery and stemmed the blood flow, possibly saving his life.
Family members on Tuesday said they were devastated by what had happened.
"We are battling," said his son, Rolf, adding that a brain scan had revealed that his father had suffered a severe stroke from his injuries. He said doctors had so far been unable to say what his father's prognosis would be.
"All that they can say is that the next two weeks will be critical," he said.
He added that doctors had battled throughout the early hours of Tuesday morning to stem the bleeding from a tear in the artery.
Rolf said the attack happened as his sister was leaving.
"As she started reversing, the gunman - who had been hiding behind the car - ran up to her and ripped open her car door and tried to drag her out.
"Dad saw what was happening and tackled the man.
"As they were struggling on the ground he was shot," he said, adding that the bullet had ricocheted inside his father's skull, severing the artery before lodging in his fourth vertebrae. He said they were devastated by what had happened.
"We are really battling and mom is taking this very badly.
"All we can do now is pray that dad will be alright," he said, adding that his dad had retired from Glenstantia Primary School six years ago.
Current Glenstantia Primary School principal, Hennie Pretorius, said the staff was devastated by what had happened.
"Joe and Cathy, who has been a Grade 1 teacher at the school for the past 10 years, are such wonderful people," he said.
Unitas Hospital spokesperson Melisha Pather said Pretorius remained in a critical condition in the hospital's trauma intensive care unit.
Police spokesperson Aveline Hardaker said a case of attempted murder and attempted armed robbery was being investigated.
Anyone with information on the identity or whereabouts of the gunman can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Polokwane (Pietersburg). – Meer as die helfte van aanvalle op plase en hoewes sedert Januarie vanjaar was in Gauteng en meer as die helfte daarvan was in Kameeldrift en Cullinan.
Altesame 47 van die plaas- en hoewe-aanvalle het volgens statistieke van TLU SA-noord in dié gebiede naby Pretoria plaasgevind.
In Gauteng is 33 mense van Januarie tot die eerste week van Desember in sulke aanvalle vermoor.
Mnr. Louis Meintjies, adjunkpresident van TLU SA, het gesê ondanks ’n griefskrif met die handtekeninge van sowat 1 000 inwoners van Kameeldrift en Cullinan wat aan die polisie oorhandig is, bly vrae onbeantwoord. “(Die polisie) steur hulle oënskynlik nie aan die versoeke van die gemeenskap nie.”
Volgens Meintjies wag hulle steeds vir terugvoering van komm. Perumal Naidoo, Gautengse polisiehoof.
Die polisie kan nie presiese statistieke van plaasaanvalle verskaf nie omdat dit as inbrake, rooftogte, gewapende rooftogte, moord of poging tot moord geklassifiseer word. Dit is hoekom TLU SA-noord besluit het om boek te hou van plaasaanvalle.
Volgens TLU SA-noord se statistieke was daar naas Gauteng die meeste plaasaanvalle (22) in Noordwes. Sewe mense is vanjaar in dié provinsie op hul plase vermoor.
In Mpumalanga is 17 sulke aanvalle aangemeld en in Limpopo agt.
Mnr. Jan Viljoen, president van TLU SA-noord, het gesê die statistieke is skokkend.
“Dit is baie kommerwekkend, veral die groot aantal aanvalle en moorde in Gauteng.
“Wat die ergste is, is die totale onvermoë van die polisie en die regering om sinvol op die slagting te reageer.”
Volgens hom laat dit die vraag ontstaan of polisielede dalk self in gebiede met ’n hoë misdaadsyfer by misdaad betrokke kan wees.
“Is die polisie bereid om ’n ondersoek na korrupsie, omkopery en betrokkenheid by misdaad by die betrokke polisiekantore te doen? Indien die ondersoek niks oplewer nie, moet in elk geval ontslae geraak word van onbekwame lede.”
Viljoen het gesê die betreklik lae voorkoms van aanvalle in Limpopo kan as getuigskrif vir die goeie samewerking tussen veiligheidstrukture, TLU SA-noord en die polisie dien.
In KwaZulu-Natal en die Vrystaat is agt plaasaanvalle elk aangemeld. Daar was ses in die Wes-Kaap, vyf in die Oos-Kaap, twee in die Noord-Kaap en een in die Suid-Kaap.
Meintjies het gesê die griefskrif van die Cullinan- en Kameeldrift-gemeenskappe gaan ook na mnr. Nathi Mthethwa, minister van veiligheid en sekuriteit, en komm. Tim Williams, waarnemende nasionale polisiehoof, gestuur word.
Boere en mense wat op plase en hoewes woon, is gemaan om hul veiligheid in die Kerstyd op te skerp.

Three Pretoria pensioners and an eight-year-old boy were seriously injured in two farm attacks on Tuesday morning.
The attacks, which took place within 1km of each other, saw gangs of heavily armed gunmen cutting through fences of at least four game farms in Kameeldrift to reach their targets.
The latest attacks, which occurred on farms in De Wagendrift, brought the number of people attacked on smallholdings and farms in the area to eight in the past two months.
At least two people have been killed in the attacks.
Johnson said he was asleep when two men charged into their bedroom
In Tuesday's first attack, two gunmen overpowered and assaulted Keyaka Game Lodge ranger, Andre Reynek, 39, and his eight-year-old son, Ju-Andre, while they slept before attacking farm owner, Izak "Sakkie" Cloete, 65, in his house, shooting him three times when he tried to stop the attack.
The gunmen, who are believed to be part of a larger group terrorising residents in the area, escaped with money, jewellery and guns.
It is believed the same gang was responsible for attacks on neighbouring farmers, Allan Johnson, 62, who is wheelchair-bound, and his wife, Gertruida "Anita", 59, three hours later.
Watching the gunmen force Ju-Andre to take them to the main farmhouse, Reyneke said he thought he was killed when he heard gunshots.
Unbeknown to him, Cloete, who had woken to the sounds of dogs barking, had been shot as he surprised the gunmen outside his house.
Dad is convinced they wanted to murder him
The gunmen, spotting Cloete who had managed to fetch his gun, used Ju-Andre as a human shield to protect themselves.
Dropping Ju-Andre near the farm's perimeter fence, the gunmen threatened to shoot him as he ran to safety.
Describing his attack, Johnson said he was asleep when two men charged into their bedroom.
"Anita was attacked after letting the puppy out of the house. The men grabbed and threw her to the floor before they came and attacked me and then tied us up," he said.
He said the gunmen escaped in their car with a gun, cellphones, a laptop computer and a hi-fi system.
Cloete's daughter, Ann MacLeod, said her father underwent surgery in Montana Hospital yesterday.
"He is in a stable condition," she said, adding that her father had told her that the gunmen had wanted to kill him.
She said: "Dad is convinced they wanted to murder him. Why would they shoot him if they just wanted to rob him?"
Police spokesperson Johannes Jaftha said a man was taken in for questioning shortly after the attacks. "Investigations are under way to try to link him to the crimes," he said.
Jaftha said a case of attempted murder and two cases of armed robbery were being investigated.

Pretoria - Three armed robbers on Tuesday used an eight-year-old boy as a shield to lure the owner of a game farm from this house and shoot him.
"We were asleep. When I woke up, I saw someone pushing a pistol against my son's head," said André.
"The next moment one (of them) hit me in the face with his fist and pulled me off the bed.
"They wanted money, a safe and firearms. My child became hysterical. I talked to him to calm him down, but then they jumped on my head and back and kicked me in the ribs.
"They also hit my son against the head with the pistol and slapped him in the face and on the chest,"André said.
Then the robbers tied André and his son's hands and feet with boot laces. One of the thugs stayed with André while the other two dragged his son to the rondavel in which Kassie Cloete was sleeping.
"I went to the sliding door of my room and saw the child standing there. I asked him what was wrong and the next moment a man emerged from behind a wall and shot at me." He was hit twice.
"I grabbed my pistol and fired a shot, and the robbers fled," Cloete said.
"There they shouted at my child: 'Run or we'll shoot you,' but his feet were still tied,"André said.
"Then he stopped and ran outside. Even though the oom had managed to reach his weapon in time, he couldn't have shot the buggers because they were using my son as a shield."
Juandré's mother took him for psychological counselling on Tuesday.
The robbers fled with André's pistol, two cellphones, R1 000 and the apparatus he uses to measure his blood sugar.
