‘Ons het lekker gewerk’
‘Ek voel verraai.”
Dít was gister die woorde van ’n man wat ’n stukwerker ’n kans gegee het en toe amper met sy lewe daarvoor moes betaal.
Mnr. Robert Hayes (57) van Faerie Glen in Pretoria is ná amper ’n week in die Pretoria-Oos-hospitaal se waakeenheid na ’n gewone saal oorgeplaas.
Hy het bloeding en swelling op sy brein gehad, sy regteroogbank is vergruis en sy linkerarm op drie plekke gebreek.
Hayes het verlede Dinsdag ’n stukwerker naby die Farm Shed in Garstfonteinweg opgelaai om sy twee werkers te help om ou lugversorgers te vervoer. Hayes verwerk skrootmetaal en verkoop dit weer.
Hy het ’n groot vrag ou lugversorgers gehad wat hy na ’n hoewe in Grootfontein moes vervoer. Die sleepwa het egter deur die dag gebreek en hy moes dié vrag met sy bakkie aanry. Sy werker het by die sleepwa gewag en die stukwerker het saam met hom gery.
“Ek het om ’n draai gegaan en gesien hy buk af. Ek het gekyk wat hy doen en die volgende oomblik slaan hy my met ’n stuk yster teen die wangbeen,” het Hayes uit sy hospitaalbed gesê.
Die bakkie het gestol en die man het uitgeklim en Hayes ook uitgeruk.
Die man het Hayes met die bakkie se stuurslot (steering lock) begin slaan.
“Ek het vir hom gesê hy moet sê wat hy wil hê, hy kan die bakkie en al die geld wat ek het, vat, maar hy het niks gesê nie en net aanhou slaan.”
Hayes is onder meer vyf keer oor die kop geslaan. Hy het sy bewussyn verloor toe die man hom, met albei hande om die stuurslot geklem, weer slaan.
“Hy het geslaan om my dood te slaan.”
Die man het in die bakkie gevlug en naby ’n vulstasie in Tierpoort stilgehou. Polisielede het toevallig daar verbygery en omgedraai omdat die man verdag voorgekom het.
Die man het weggejaag met die polisie agterna. Hy het later gestop, uitgespring en te voet gevlug. Die polisie het die bakkie teruggekry.
“Ek en die man het die dag lekker saamgewerk. Ek het nog vir hom gesê ek het nou baie werk, sal hom gebruik en aangebied om hom werk te help soek wanneer my werk klaar is. Ek het nog vir hulle kos en sigarette gaan koop én hulle dubbel betaal omdat hulle laat moes werk. Ek voel verraai.”

Pta kán stil weens optog teen misdaad
Pretoria kan vandag tot stilstand kom wanneer Suid-Afrikaners met die miljoenman-optog na die Uniegebou opruk om teen misdaad te betoog.
Supt. Alta Fourie, woordvoerder van die Tshwane-metropolisie, het gister gesê hulle gaan bontstaan om verkeersknope tot die minimum te beperk.
“Ons verwag vreeslik baie verkeersprobleme in sekere dele van die stad. Na raming gaan ongeveer ’n miljoen mense aan die optog deelneem.”
’n Memorandum sal om ongeveer 13:00 aan pres. Thabo Mbeki se kantoor oorhandig word.
Dié optog – die akteur Desmond Dube se inisiatief – het ten doel om beswaar aan te teken teen die hoë vlakke van misdaad en om Suid-Afrikaners se bereidwilligheid om betrokke te raak by die stryd teen misdaad, te beklemtoon.
Die DA het gister bekend gemaak dat me. Helen Zille, sy leier, ’n afvaardiging van die party na die Uniegebou gaan lei.
Fourie het gesê die grootste verkeersprobleme word in Brooklyn, Hatfield, Arcadia, Sunnyside en die middestad verwag.
Verskeie kruisings in Kerk-, Skinner-, Vermeulen- en Hamiltonstraat, sowel as Soutpansbergweg sal afgesper wees en as verkeersvrye gebiede hanteer word.
Optoggangers sal nie naby die Uniegebou kan parkeer nie en beamptes sal byderhand wees om mense by te staan.

Pietermaritzburg - A man who killed centenarian Herbert "Bob" Downs by stabbing him six times in his home in Richmond, KwaZulu-Natal, was jailed on Monday for life by Pietermaritzburg High Court.
Sibusiso Mbuje Dlamini, 29, of Msinga, pleaded guilty to the murder and to stealing a TV set from Downs, a garage owner and engineer, on the night of March 1 2007.
Judge Jan Hugo said the fact that Dlamini stabbed the centenarian with a weapon that penetrated his chest cavity six times overrode mitigating factors - that he pleaded guilty, co-operated with police, saved the State from conducting a case, had been drinking, had been in custody for 15 months and had not planned to murder when he broke into widower Downs's home.
Hugo said the young Dlamini could easily have overpowered the old man.
In his guilty plea, Dlamini said he had gone to Richmond to find a job, but had failed. On the day of the murder he and a man named Rasta drank alcohol and Rasta suggested that they burgle Downs's house.
Dlamini said: "Rasta told me that no one would be home. I broke a window and went into the house. I took a television set outside and went inside again.
Stabbed him several times
"I took a knife from the kitchen and went into a bedroom. While I was trying to open a wardrobe I heard movement and when I turned I saw a white person behind me.
"I was shocked as Rasta had told me no one was there. I was scared and I stabbed him several times and he fell. I could feel he was still breathing.
"I felt sorry for injuring him and put him on his bed and I went out and took the television set."
At a taxi rank he sold the TV set to Khehla Ndlela for R150.
That afternoon, he was arrested.

Pietermaritzburg - Hijackers tried to burn a Bergville farm employee alive on Friday night by setting his car alight with him locked in the boot.
But, Tony Goble, 58, managed to fight his way out of the boot of his burning car despite having received a blow to the head with the butt of a handgun, that broke four teeth.
When The Witness called his home on Monday afternoon, Goble was away visiting a sick friend. His sister-in-law, Beth Fyvie, said that he looked and acted normally.
"But, I'm afraid the incident has yet to strike him," said Fyvie.
Assaulted by hijackers
Bergville police confirmed that a case of vehicle hijacking had been opened.
Later, Goble, who praised the Lord for saving him, told The Witness his amazing story. He said he was attacked about 22:00 when he arrived home at Hartebees Fountain Farm, where he works, after visiting friends.
As he reached the door of his house he was assaulted by a group of people. He guessed there were six of them.
"They forced me into the boot of my car. They drove off, also taking along a Toyota Hilux bakkie belonging to my employer," said Goble.
After driving for about 40km towards Harrismith his vehicle stopped, presumably having run out of petrol. He said it was cold, and when he smelt fire he assumed the hijackers had started the fire to warm themselves.
"I managed to pull up the lever of the boot, but was scared to jump out.
"I heard the bakkie driving off, but I thought some of them were going to the garage to buy petrol to refill my car.
"I thought some of them had been left behind," said Goble, who is the father of two grown children.
Goble, who had also been robbed of his cellphone, said a few minutes later he saw a minibus stopping next to his vehicle. He immediately jumped out of the boot into the taxi.
Called family and police
That was when he saw his car was on fire and realised that he had nearly been burnt alive.
The minibus taxi was taking passengers to Harrismith. After hearing his story, the taxi driver turned back and drove Goble to Little Switzerland Hotel where he called his relatives and police.
Captain Charmaine Struwig said police were looking for the blue Toyota Hilux bakkie (ND 457 196).
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the vehicle or suspects can contact their nearest police station or Bergville police on 036 448 1696.

Knysna-‘straatrower’ slaan helder oordag weer toe
KNYSNA. – ’n Vrou is Saterdag hier helder oordag van haar handsak beroof, enkele dae nadat die polisie weens ’n gebrek aan inligting twee van drie straatroofsake voorlopig gesluit het.
Minstens vyf vroue het sedert 29 Maart in die bodorp onder ’n grypdief deurgeloop. In sommige gevalle het hy van die vroue eers ordentlik gegroet voordat hy hulle met die vuis bygedam het. In die eerste aanval is R13 000 gebuit toe ’n vrou naby die NG kerksaal aangeval is.
Die grypdief bly die polisie ontwyk ondanks ’n span speurders wat die saak ondersoek het én ’n identikit wat uitgereik is.
Volgens ’n voormalige polisieman, wat nie sy naam genoem wil hê nie, het hy Saterdag omstreeks 09:30 vanuit sy huis gesien hoe ’n vrou se handsak gegryp word. Die man woon naby die polisiekantoor in die onderdorp.
Hy het dadelik die grypdief agternagesit, maar kon hom nie inhaal nie.
Volgens hom het die dief in ’n gangetjie naby ’n sekerheidsmaatskappy verdwyn. “In daardie stadium was daar niemand by die sekerheidsmaatskappy nie, anders het hulle hom sekerlik gevang.”
Die man het sy seun gebel, wat hom dadelik na die toneel gehaas het. Die polisie is ook ontbied.
“My seun het ’n man uit ’n erf sien kom, maar hy het gedink die man kan dalk daar werk. Hy het in die erf gegaan, maar die mense van die huis was nie daar nie. Hy het die vrou se handsak in die tuin gekry en aan die polisie oorhandig.”
Die dief het blykbaar ook die vrou gespuit met die pepersproei wat in haar handsak was.
Volgens die oudpolisieman het die polisie met flitsende blou ligte op die toneel aangekom, maar nie verder na die dief gesoek nie.
Die polisie het onlangs twee van die drie straatroofsake voorlopig gesluit, ondanks die uitreiking van die identikit. Volgens die polisie was die identikit net van toepassing op dié drie sake en sal die sake heropen word sodra daar nuwe ontwikkelings is.
Van die “straatrower” se slagoffers het nog verlede week gesê hy is stil omdat dinge te warm vir hom begin raak het.
Kommentaar van die polisie was nie teen druktyd beskikbaar nie.

Hijackers now use pool acid

"He used a syringe and sprayed pool acid on the victim's face. He suffered severe burns," she said.

"Motorists should be careful and not wind down their windows for anyone and keep all doors locked. It is important to always be alert," she said.

"Naughty! Naughty!" a two-year-old girl shouted as three men raped her mom.
She lay on top of her father, who was tied up, but could see as the attackers - one at a time - raped his wife while the others held her legs apart.
It is believed the attackers also defecated in the Lyttelton house and wiped themselves with the little girl's dress.
A visibly shaken and traumatised husband on Monday testified against Steven Motlou, 32, Reuben Motlhamme, 24, and Lucky Piet Sifunda, 23, in the Pretoria regional court.
The suspects earlier pleaded not guilty to charges of rape, robbery with aggravating circumstances, kidnapping and the unlawful possession of firearms.
The husband, who cannot be identified in order to protect his wife, told the court: "We used to be this open cosmopolitan family. But since the incident we have closed up against other members of the Rainbow Nation. We wander from country to country. We don't know who we can trust in South Africa, as people are being chased out of here."
He recalled how they were awoken at 2am on May 22 2005, by "those three men" he said, pointing to the accused.
The family lived in a complex.
"The three men had pistols, laughing at us. Motlou asked where the money, guns and laptops were. Motlhamme kept saying to my wife: 'Shuut. We won't hurt you mommy'. I said we were good, poor people with no money or guns," the witness testified.
According to him, Motlou hit him in the face with what he suspected was a firearm.
The other two tied the husband and wife and ransacked the house.
With his voice emotionally pitching higher, the husband recalled how they returned and Motlou allegedly told his wife to open her legs as he "wanted to see".
They covered the husband with a duvet.
"I lifted my head from under the duvet. I saw my wife on her stomach. Accused 2 (Motlhamme) was raping her. Then accused 3 (Sifunda) and then accused 1.
"My little daughter was lying on top of me, shouting at them: 'Naughty! Naughty'," the husband testified.
After the attackers had left, the man managed to untie himself.
However, they returned, tied him again and said: "We are coming back, we want to n**i her again". They left and locked the bedroom door.
Most of the items the attackers packed to steal were left behind.
The husband said his wife was eight and a half months pregnant now. They returned to South Africa for the delivery of the child.
"This is, after all, our country."

Friendly robbers take nothing
Bloemfontein - "Friendly, smiling", neatly dressed, armed robbers scared employees and patrons in the Wimpy in Westdene, Bloemfontein on Monday, but left empty-handed.
Two waitresses, who preferred to remain anonymous, said two men entered the restaurant at about 07:10 and ordered coffee.
"Another client paid for his coffee and I was making coffee for the two men when I heard the clack-clack sound of the gun. He had brought it in wrapped in a newspaper," one of the waitresses said.
The man ordered all six employees to the back of the restaurant and made them lie on the floor.
"I wasn't really scared because they treated us in a relaxed manner and were very friendly. They smiled at us while their guns were pointed at us."
The man ordered them to "sleep" and asked where the keys were.
"He didn't ask us for money or cellphones or anything. He spoke softly and tapped us on the shoulders if he wanted us to do something."
The waitresses said there were up to five robbers who all had guns. Two were standing guard outside.
In the meantime one of the robbers ordered John Marais, one of the two patrons in the restaurant, to lie on the floor and searched him.
The other patron made a run for it out the door.
Marais, a sales consultant at Kloppers who drinks a cup of coffee at the Wimpy every morning before work, said the robbers were not friendly to him at all.
"The one pointed his pistol at me and ordered me to lie on the floor. I had a lot of money in one of my trouser pockets so I lay on that pocket. Luckily he didn't turn me over."
'Something must have put them off'
He said the experience was very unreal to him and passed quickly.
"I just lay there praying the whole time. Suddenly I just heard it was quiet and when I looked up, they were gone."
The owner of the Wimpy, Tania van der Vyver, said nothing was stolen from the restaurant's safe, from the cash register or from any of the people.
"Something must have put them off. It's very strange.
"We're now considering opening later in the mornings."

Boer se ‘aanvaller’ kry R3 000 borgtog
Borgtog van R3 000 is gister toegestaan aan die beskuldigde in die moordsaak van mnr. Coenie Barkhuizen (24), ’n bees-en-varkboer van die Randridge-hoewes, wat sowat ’n week gelede by ’n vulstasie in Randfontein aangeval en ’n dag later dood is.
Mnr. Stefanus Pretorius (22) is vrygelaat op voorwaarde dat hy nie met staatsgetuies mag inmeng of sy blyplek of Randfontein verlaat sonder toestemming van die ondersoekbeampte in die saak nie.
Mnr. Pieter Redelinghuys, sy prokureur, het aangevoer dat Pretorius twee jong kinders het, vir hulle sorg deur deur skrootmetaal te verkoop én dat die staat Pretorius se borgtogaansoek moes teenstaan weens “druk van die media” om nie ’n moordenaar vry te laat nie.
Pretorius se vriend, mnr Jacobus Bredenhann, wat saam met hom was ten tyde van die aanval op Barkhuizen en aanvanklik nie gearresteer is nie, is intussen ook aangekla van aanranding en gister gewaarsku om in die hof te verskyn.
Beeld het vroeër berig dat Barkhuizen en sy broer, Chris, op 31 Mei by die Engen-vulstasie in Lazarlaan, Randgate, stilgehou het vir diesel toe Pretorius hom aan Chris ontbloot het. Ná ’n konfrontasie tussen Pretorius, ’n vriend en die Barkhuizen-broers, het Pretorius vir Coenie op die grond neergegooi en sy kop glo aanhoudend teen die sement gestamp.
Coenie is die volgende dag in die Leratong-hospitaal buite Roodepoort dood.
Die moordsaak word hervat op 10 Julie in die streekhof in Randfontein.

’n Bejaarde man (71) in ’n rolstoel is eergister wreed deur twee tuiniers by sy huis in Boksburg-Noord aan die Oos-Rand aangerand, beroof en vir die dood gelaat nadat hulle selfs sy suurstofpype uitgeruk het.
Mnr. Jan Lategan, wat aan emfiseem ly en dus permanent suurstof benodig, is in sy rolstoel aangeval toe hy toerusting vir die tuiniers uit sy garage wou haal.
Volgens insp. Yolanda Meissenheimer, ondersoekbeampte in die saak, het die twee verdagtes Lategan só erg aangerand dat sy “gesig stukkend en sy liggaam oral potblou is”.
Sy moes haar trane sluk toe Lategan op die toneel vir haar vertel hoe sy aanvallers hom “erg verniel” het. “Ons het nie gedink hy gaan oorleef nie.”
Lategan het glo sy bewussyn verloor en op die badkamervloer wakker geword, waar sy hande en voete met kabels vasgemaak is. “Die aanvallers het ook sy suurstofpype uitgeruk en hom vir die dood gelos.”
Verskeie elektriese ware, juwele, klere en twee vuurwapens is uit die huis gesteel. Die tuiniers het glo in ’n khaki-kleurige Toyota-bakkie gevlug.
Lategan het ure later losgekom en mev. Mari de Beer, sy verloofde, geskakel. De Beer is woedend. “As ek hulle in die straat kry, ry ek sommer oor hulle,” sê sy.
Lategan was nog te swak om met die media te praat. Sake van poging tot moord en huisroof word ondersoek.
Een van die verdagtes, wat as “Robert” bekend is, is sowat 40 jaar oud, van medium lengte en het ’n bles kop. Enigiemand met inligting kan Meissenheimer bel by 082 377 3182.
Boksburg - Two gardeners who worked for a 71-year-old man in a wheelchair assaulted, robbed and left him for dead after ripping out his oxygen tube at his home in northern Boksburg on the East Rand.
Jan Lategan, who has emphysema and permanently needs oxygen, was attacked in his wheelchair while he was fetching gardening equipment from his garage for the two men to use.
Inspector Yolanda Meissenheimer said the two had assaulted Lategan so badly that he had wounds to his face and his body was black and blue all over.
She said she had had to swallow her tears when Lategan told her how his attackers severely injured him.
"We didn't think he was going to survive."
Lategan apparently lost consciousness and woke up on the bathroom floor to find that his hands and feet had been bound with cables.
"The attackers ripped out his oxygen tube and left him for dead."
Various pieces of electronic equipment, jewellery, clothes and two firearms were stolen from the house.
The gardeners apparently fled in a khaki-coloured Toyota bakkie.
Hours later, Lategan managed to free himself and phoned his fiancée Mari de Beer.
De Beer was furious: "If I find them on the street, I'll just drive over them," she said.
