Rowers se bloedspoor
Twee rowers het eergister ’n skrikbewind in East Lynne, Pretoria, gevoer toe hulle binne drie uur by drie verskillende huise toegeslaan en vier mense geskiet het.
Hulle het boonop byna ’n vrou in een van die voorvalle verkrag.
Sy is waarskynlik deur haar vriend, wat haar hoor skree het, gered. Hy is ook gewond.
Die twee rowers, wat eergisteraand paniek in die gebied van Hans Dons-laan, Swaanstraat en Stormvoëlrylaan gesaai het, is nog op vrye voete.
Die name van hul slagoffers is nie bekend nie.
’n Vrou (22) se motor wat in die laaste voorval gekaap is, is sonder wiele in ’n mielieland naby Marble Hall, Limpopo, gevind.
Insp. Klaas van der Kooi, ’n woordvoerder van die Villieria-polisiekantoor, het gesê die aand se roof-orgie het net ná 20:00 eergisteraand begin toe die twee rowers by ’n huis in Swaanstraat toegeslaan het.
Die inwoner van die huis het die honde gehoor blaf en gaan ondersoek instel. Die rower het hom koelbloedig en sonder waarskuwing geskiet.
Die man se skoonseun het hierna gaan kyk wat aangaan en is ook summier geskiet. Die pa is na die Pretoria Akademiese Hospitaal geneem en die skoonseun na die Montana-hospitaal. Verskeie familielede was by die huis, maar hulle is nie beseer nie. Van der Kooi het gesê die rowers is by die huis in, maar het met slegs ’n selfoon gevlug.
Hulle is daarna na ’n huis in Stormvoëlrylaan, waar hulle ’n vrou in die erf oorval het. Een van die rowers het die vrou gedwing om al haar klere uit te trek.
Hy het toe al sy klere uitgetrek en was op die punt om haar te verkrag.
Die vrou het geskree en haar vriend het op die nipper opgedaag. Die rowers het daarop haar vriend in die been geskiet voordat hulle te voet gevlug het.
Hy is in die Kalafong-hospitaal opgeneem.
In die derde voorval het die rowers op die 22-jarige vrou toegesak terwyl sy besig was om haar motor by haar huis in Hans Donslaan in te trek.
Mnr. Gert Otto, ’n buurman, het gesien hoe die twee mans in die straat opgehardloop kom. “Die een het ’n vuurwapen gehad en drie skote in die passasierskant van die motor geskiet.”
Die vrou is glo aanvanklik nie raak geskiet nie, maar die rowers het haar uit die motor geruk en buite die motor verskeie kere geskiet voordat hulle met die motor gevlug het.
Die vrou is in ’n kritieke toestand in die Pretoria Akademiese Hospitaal opgeneem.
Otto het gesê dit is die derde voorval binne ’n jaar waarin daar naby sy huis geskiet word.

‘Ek sal nie gaan lê solank ek leef’
Hartbeespoort. – “Ek het besluit ek sal nie toelaat dat moordenaars ons lewens sommer net so neem nie. Ek sou tot die dood baklei.”
Só het die 81-jarige mev. Josina Fourie gister gesê ná sy Woensdagoggend haarself en haar 84-jarige man, Isak, verbete met ’n knuppel verdedig het toe twee rowers hulle in hul woning in Ifafi met messe aangeval het.
Mev. Fourie is vyf keer in die bors en in die kop gesteek, en mnr. Fourie sewe keer in die rug. Albei sy longe is raak gesteek. Hulle is in ’n stabiele toestand in die Brits Medi-Clinic.
Die egpaar, wat slegs drie weke gelede van KwaZulu-Natal na Hartbeespoort verhuis het, is kort ná 06:00 deur ’n verwer, wat die afgelope drie weke by hul gewerk het, en ’n handlanger met messe aangeval.
“Ons het niks vermoed nie en was nog in die bed toe die verwer by die huis opgedaag het. My man het die deur gaan oopsluit sodat ons ses hondjies kon uitgaan en die werker die verf uit die huis kon kry.
“Die verwer het Isak uit die pad gestamp en na ons slaapkamer gestorm. ’n Tweede man het skielik verskyn en my man gegryp,” het mev. Fourie gesê.
“Toe ek die verwer vra wat hy doen, het hy gesê ’n sangoma het hom beveel hy moet ons doodmaak want dit sal die evil uit sy lyf verdryf.”
Die twee mans het die egpaar herhaaldelik gesteek en terwyl mnr. Fourie met die een gestoei het, het mev. Fourie ’n knuppel langs hul bed in die hande gekry en haar aanvaller begin slaan.
“Ek het net besluit ek sal nie gaan lê solank ek lewe nie. Ek sal nie dat moordenaars my lewe en dié van my man neem nie.”
Terwyl sy haarself met die knuppel verdedig het, het die egpaar se ses hondjies ook die aanvallers getakel. “Die verwer het rondgetrippel tussen die bytende honde. Selfs my oudste hond met ’n hartprobleem en een tand het gebyt,” het sy gesê.
Die twee mans het selfone en kontant gegryp en gevlug.
“Die verwer se laaste woorde aan my was dat hy sal terugkom om ons dood te maak.”
Mev. Fourie het na die telefoon gekruip en die polisie, haar seun en die buurvrou gebel. Die polisie en paramedici was binne minute op die toneel.
“Ek het nooit geweet sy is so sterk nie,” het ’n swak mnr. Fourie uit die hospitaalbed langs haar geskerts. “Sy het hand en tand baklei. Ek het sommer vir haar bang geword. Sy en die honde het ons lewens gered.”
Mev. Fourie het gesê sy wil hê hulle nagmerrie moet ’n waarskuwing vir alle bejaardes wees. “Moet niemand vertrou nie en hou ’n hele paar honde in die huis aan. Hulle het gehelp om ons lewens te red. Die verwer het voorheen vir my seun ook gewerk. ’n Mens weet nooit.”
Die egpaar vier vandag hul 59ste huweliksherdenking langs mekaar in die hospitaal.

2 kapers geskiet: Man herken hulle van vroeër
“Dit voel asof Kersfees bietjie vroeër gekom het.”
Só het ’n man van Johannesburg gesê nadat hy twee vermeende kapers, wie se beplande rooftog in Midrand gister onsuksesvol was, herken het as dieselfde twee wat hom drie weke gelede van sy motor wou besteel.
’n Lid van die publiek het die een kaper doodgeskiet en sy makker ernstig gewond toe hulle omstreeks 10:00 ’n luukse BMW in ou Pretoriaweg wou kaap. Hy wil nie sy identiteit bekend gemaak hê nie.
Volgens supt. Eugene Opperman, polisiewoordvoerder, het dié man in selfverdediging opgetree en het die kapers eers op hóm losgebrand toe hy hulle gekonfronteer het.
“Hy het met sy gelisensieerde vuurwapen teruggevuur en een verdagte doodgeskiet, terwyl die ander een ernstig in die skietgeveg gewond is,” het Opperman verduidelik.
Mnr. Doug McGibbon (46) het van die skietery gehoor en hom na die toneel gehaas omdat hy vermoed het dat dié twee kapers dieselfde boewe is wat hóm op 22 November by sy huis in dieselfde omgewing ook van sy BMW wou beroof.
“Ek het aan die ouens die situasie verduidelik en toe ek in die lyksak kyk, het ek gesien dit is wraggies dieselfde man wat drie weke gelede op die dag, sy vuurwapen op my gerig het,” het McGibbon aan Beeld vertel.
Hy het gesê die kaper wat ernstig in gister se skietgeveg gewond is, was ook die ander makker in sy voorval.
“Ek onthou presies. Hulle het uit ’n wit VW Polo gespring soos wat ek gewag het vir die veiligheidshek om agter my toe te maak toe ons daardie middag by die huis aangekom het,” het McGibbon vertel.
Sy vrou, asook dié se suster en haar man wat uit Brittanje kom kuier het, was ook in die motor.
“Die een (wat gister doodgeskiet is) het sy hemp opgelig en ’n 9 mm-pistool uit sy broek getrek. Sy hand het baie gebewe en ek het gedink hy moet net nie per ongeluk die sneller trek nie. Ons het mekaar stip in die oë gestaar.”
Die ander kaper het glo in die motor gespring, maar hulle kon nie wegjaag nie omdat die veiligheidshek, wat die twee vroeër ontspoor het, hul pad versper het.
Volgens McGibbon het sy vrou, wat intussen plat op haar maag naby die swembad gaan lê het, begin skree om hulp.
“Ek het oor my skouer vir haar gesê alles is reg en dat sy moet stilbly, waarna die rowers weer in hul eie kar gespring en weggejaag het.”
’n Vriend het hulle agterna gesit, maar die twee het weggekom.
Opperman het gesê die gewonde verdagte word onder polisiebewaring by ’n hospitaal behandel.

Landbou-unie loof polisie
KIMBERLEY. – Die Ghaap-landbou-unie het polisielede van dié stad en Delportshoop geloof vir hul goeie werk ná die aanval op ’n egpaar se plaas.
Die egpaar van Delportshoop is diamantdelwers wat na bewering van ’n groot bedrag geld en diamante beroof is.
’n Groep verdagtes het glo Dinsdag omstreeks 22:00 op die egpaar se plaas, 20 km buite dié dorp, toegesak.
Hulle het die egpaar vasgebind en hulle beroof.
Die aanvallers het daarna in die egpaar se Landcruiser en hul (die misdadigers se) eie Toyota Conquest gevlug.
Polisielede van Kimberley en Delportshoop het die voortvlugtiges sowat 10 km buite Kimberley op die Barkly-Wes-pad gekry.
’n Wilde skietery tussen polisielede en die verdagtes het op ’n oop stuk veld langs die pad uitgebreek.
Konst. Sergio Kock, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê ’n 25-jarige verdagte is doodgeskiet.
Kimberley se staatsambulans het die polisie op die toneel bygestaan.
Drie ander verdagtes is later aangekeer.
Volksblad het betroubaar verneem die verdagtes is almal van Johannesburg. Een verdagte word steeds gesoek.
Mnr. James Faber, voorsitter van die unie, het gesê dit is groot genade dat die egpaar nie beseer is nie.
“Georganiseerde landbou keur die aanval ten sterkste af en versoek mense om hul paraatheid te verskerp.”
Faber het gesê dit maak nie saak of die motief van die voorval was om dalk net die diamante te steel nie. “Dit bly ’n aanval op mense binne die boerderygemeenskap. En dit is daaroor wat ons graag ons misnoeë wil uitspreek.”
Hy het gesê die flinke optrede van die polisie gee mens weer hoop.

Previous victim IDs hijacker
Johannesburg - An intended hijack victim recognised two men who were shot on Thursday while trying to steal a vehicle in Midrand, as those who had tried to snatch his car three weeks ago.
A member of the public shot and killed one attacker and seriously injured his accomplice when they tried to hijack a luxury BMW in Old Pretoria Road at about 10:00 on Thursday.
The man did not want his identity disclosed.
According to Superintendent Eugene Opperman, the man had acted in self defence after the armed attackers opened fire on him.
"He returned fire with his own licensed firearm, killing the one suspect, while the other one was seriously wounded in the exchange," said Opperman.
Recognised body-bag man
Doug McGibbon, 46, heard about the shooting and went to Old Pretoria Road because he suspected the two robbers might be the ones who tried to hijack his BMW at his home on November 22.
McGibbon told Beeld newspaper: "I explained the situation to the guys and, when I looked in the body bag, it was the same man who had pointed his firearm at me three weeks before."
He said the man who was seriously wounded in Thursday's gun battle, had been the accomplice three weeks previously.
McGibbon said: "I recall it clearly. They jumped out of a white VW Polo while I was waiting for the security gate to close behind me when we arrived home that afternoon."
His wife, her sister and his brother-in-law, who were on a visit from Britain, were in the car with him.
"The one (who was shot dead on Thursday) lifted up his shirt and pulled a 9mm pistol from his pants. His hand was shaking and I just hoped he wouldn't pull the trigger by mistake. We stared into each other's eyes."
The other hijacker jumped into the BMW, but they couldn't get away because the security gate, which they had derailed earlier, was blocking their way out.
McGibbon said his wife, who had fallen flat next to the swimming pool, started screaming for help.
"I looked back over my shoulder and told her everything was OK and she should be quiet, when the hijackers suddenly jumped into their car and sped off. A friend chased them, but they got away.
Congratulations for 'crack shooting'
McGibbon added: "I congratulated the guy who got them on Thursday, for his crack shooting."
Opperman said the wounded man was being treated in hospital under police guard.
Police were investigating a case of armed robbery and attempted murder after Thursday's shooting.
A police reservist, Captain Marc Ishlove, shot and killed two hijackers who were trying to steal a luxury Porsche at Fir Drive Centre in Northcliff last month.

Robbers leave trail of blood
Pretoria - Two robbers on Wednesday terrorised residents in East Lynne, breaking into three homes in three hours and shooting four people.
They also nearly raped a woman. She was apparently saved by a friend, who was shot in the leg.
The two robbers, who caused panic in Hans Dons Drive, Swan Street and Stormvoël Drive, are still at large. The names of their victims have not yet been released.
The car of a 22-year-old woman, hijacked in the last incident, was found without wheels in a maize field near Marble Hall in Limpopo.
Inspector Klaas van der Kooi, a spokesperson for Villieria police station, said the night's robbery orgy started shortly after 20:00, when robbers hit on a house in Swan Street.
The owner of the house heard dogs barking and investigated. He was shot without warning.
The man's son-in-law went to investigate and was also shot. The father was taken to Pretoria Academic Hospital, and the son-in-law to Montana Hospital. Other family members who were inside the house weren't injured. Van der Kooi said the robbers entered the house, but left with only a cellphone.
They then went to a house in Stormvoël Drive, where they overpowered a woman in the yard. One of the robbers forced her to undress, upon which he also removed all his clothes.
She screamed and her friend turned up just as the robber was about to rape her. Robbers wounded him in the leg before fleeing. He was admitted to Kalafong Hospital.
In the third incident, the robbers targeted a 22-year-old woman who was parking her car at her home in Hans Dons Drive.
The woman was admitted to Pretoria Academic Hospital in a critical condition.
According to Otto this was the third time shots were fired near his house this year.

Durban crime busters to hit hard
Durban - Helicopters, horse patrols, CCTV and police reservists have been roped in to ensure that security in Durban is at a peak during the festive season, police said on Thursday.
Durban Central commander, Commissioner Bala Naidoo told a news briefing that detectives and administrative staff will also be walking the beat to ensure high visibility during the festive season.
He said 12 policemen on horses and 12 policemen on motorcycles would also be deployed in the city centre and beach areas to ensure a rapid response.
An additional 10 people had been trained to monitor the CCTV cameras that are placed at strategic points in the city.
The city's courts will be open on December 17 and December 26 to allow police to speedily prosecute offenders.
Multiple roadblock and searches
Also speaking at the news briefing, Director Aaron Harry said there would be "multiple roadblock and searches".
He said: "The public is going to sometimes feel inconvenienced, but this will be necessary to ensure security".
At least 90 police reservists had been deployed and more would be deployed in the coming days.
Drunken and disorderly behaviour will be targeted as well as those people who dare to drink in public. Some of Durban's known spots for public drinking, such as XL's near South Beach, will receive attention from police.
Naidoo said there was "a disturbing trend" towards more drinking in public.
"Drinking in public leads to scuffles and the next thing there is a case of assault."
Naidoo also urged people not to break bottles which could lead to children being injured.
Naidoo said that during the year, since he had taken command at Durban Central, there had been a steady decrease in contact crimes, especially in the city centre.
"What we have been doing is deploying more people and having a high visibility in the city centre."
Report even small incidents
However, he urged people to report incidents, no matter how small.
"If they do not report even the small incidents, then we may have the wrong priorities and the wrong target areas. If they (the public) don't report the cases then we don't know what the problems are."
He said that the South African Air Force had also been brought in to assist the police with helicopters during the festive season.
The police would also be working in conjunction with the eThekwini Metro Police, the KwaZulu-Natal Road Traffic Inspectorate as well as private security firms.
Durban's beach area would be closed off to all vehicles apart from residents and hotel guests leaving the city's famed Golden Mile free for pedestrians.
Children entering the beach front area will automatically receive a tag with their parents' phone numbers, so that in the event they become separated police will be able to contact their parents.
Harry said that a joint operations committee would meet every day to thrash out problems during the festive season.
He said: "We really want this to be a safe festive season. Don't spoil it for yourself and for others."
Naidoo also urged those who were members of Stockvels to ask the banks for cheques rather than carry large sums of money around.
He also warned people, especially the vulnerable and the elderly, against being caught by scam artists who would rob people through the threat of black magic and other devious means.

Christmas crime spree rocks Bay – Port Elizabeth , the people at Spar Bluewater Bay was also robbed at gunpoint.
NELSON Mandela Bay has been rocked by a pre-Christmas crime spree, with seven armed robberies reported at businesses across the metropole in the past 48 hours.
A man was also shot in the head in an attempted hijacking early yesterday morning, which brought traffic to a standstill in Burt Drive, Newton Park.
Police spokesman Captain Johan Rheeder warned businesses to be extra vigilant after five armed robberies were reported in Port Elizabeth and two in Uitenhage.
“We are urging businesses to keep their doors closed when dealing with morning cash floats or evening cash-ups as this is the main time when these criminals strike.”
Rheeder also urged businesses not to keep large sums of money on the premises and to step up security over the festive season.
“We are also asking people not to wear flashy jewellery or carry wallets and cellphones in the open.
“When using the ATM or bank, also be cautious as criminals are known to watch these and target people who make large withdrawals.”
He said four armed robberies had been reported on Wednesday.
“The first was recorded at The Food Market Cafe in Brampton Avenue, Rowallan Park.
The second robbery was at Topline auto body repairs in Commercial Road, Sidwell, when two armed men made off with R4 000 at about 6.50am. No shots were fired.
In the third, half an hour later, two elderly owners of the China Shop bric-a-brac store in Cotterell Street, Korsten, were attacked by three armed men who fled in a white Opel Corsa with cellphones and about R1 000.
On Wednesday at about 7.30pm, the Bluewater Bay QuickSpar was robbed by between four and six gunmen who made off with an undisclosed sum.
Nicky Willemse, a Weekend Post reporter, was caught up in the robbery after her husband stopped at the store to ask for directions.
Willemse, who is eight months pregnant, said a man at the entrance drew a gun and started pushing her inside, demanding her cellphone and grabbing her handbag.
“Just then, three men came out of the store, carrying stolen goods, including computers,” she said.
Willemse said people inside the store waited for about 10 minutes before going outside, for fear that the gang might return.
Rheeder said another brazen robbery took place yesterday at Accurate Machining engineering firm in Deal Party just before 7am.
“The owner was approached by three men pretending to be looking for work. When he told them there weren‘t any vacancies, they attacked him, drew a gun and demanded money.”
Rheeder said the man‘s brother, who was armed, arrived but was unable to do anything as the men had a gun to his sibling‘s head.
“The men made off with the company‘s wages, worth over R50 000, as well as the brother‘s gun and other personal items,” he said.
Uitenhage police spokesman Superintendent Priscilla Naidu said a businessman was held up at gunpoint in his clothing store in Market Street, Uitenhage, on Wednesday morning by three men posing as customers.
Naidu said the man had opened his store at 8am when three men entered and pointed guns at his head. He was forced to hand over all the money in his till – about R16 000 – before being locked in an office.
A woman had also been robbed at gunpoint on Wednesday night when she stopped at a robot on the R333 between Uitenhage and Port Elizabeth.
Police later recovered her bag and jewellery, but no money had been found.

Businessman shot in morning rush hour hijack bid
THE co-owner of Port Elizabeth firm All Tool Engineering Services, Per-Olov Vickius, was shot during morning rush hour traffic in Newton Park just minutes after dropping off his twoyear-old son at a daycare centre yesterday.
Police spokesman Captain Johan Rheeder said Vickius, who is in a stable condition in hospital, was shot in the face during an attempted hijacking on the corner of Burt Drive and 6th Avenue in Newton Park shortly after 7am yesterday.
The shooting incident has shocked the suburb.
Swedish-born Vickius, 66, was waiting at the intersection when he was confronted by two armed men who wanted to hijack his car, shortly after dropping off his son Nathan at a nearby school. The men fired three shots, one shattering the driver‘s side window.
His wife Sihaam, to whom he has been married for five years, said she received a call from her husband‘s cellphone by a woman asking her if she knew who it belonged to.
“The woman phoned the last number my husband called,” she said.
“She said she was calling from the scene of a shooting incident and that someone had been shot.”
After Vickius was shot, he lost control of his car, which crashed into the boundary wall of a townhouse complex.
His wife said Vickius was in a stable condition in the intensive care unit at Greenacres Hospital. The bullet had entered the right ear and exited though his mouth, fracturing his cheekbone.
Sihaam said the first thing her “sweet and gentle” husband had said on regaining consciousness was to ask after his little son. “I am still in shock over what has happened,” she said. “A few months ago, my daughter was involved in an accident in Helenvale.
“I‘m still battling to cope with that tragedy and something like this happens.”
Rheeder said police had opened hijacking and attempted murder dockets.
