‘Ja, dis ons. Ons is terug’
Rowers wat vroeër by ’n gesin in Lichtenburg ingebreek het, het gisteroggend teruggekom, ’n man ernstig gewond en sy seun ook geskiet.
“Yes, it’s us. We’re back,” het een van hulle vir mev. Elmarie Slabbert (48) gesê toe sy hulle daaroor gevra het.
Mnr. André Slabbert (50) en sy seun André jr. (19) is albei in die Life Anncron-kliniek in Klerksdorp.
’n Koeël het Slabbert sr. onder die linkerarm getref, is deur sy long en sy milt en het laat gistermiddag nog in een van sy rugwerwels vasgesit, het me. Magriet Slabbert (23), sy dogter, gesê. Dokters het Slabbert sr. se milt verwyder. André jr., wat in die regterskouer geskiet is, se toestand is volgens sy suster bevredigend.
Mev. Slabbert het haar kort ná 06:00 eerste in vier rowers vasgeloop toe sy die kombuisdeur oopgemaak het om te kyk hoekom die honde blaf. Sy het gegil. Die twee mans is trompop in die kombuis geskiet toe hulle gaan ondersoek instel het. Me. Slabbert het in haar kamer weggekruip en die polisie probeer bel, maar sy is ontdek voordat sy hulp kon ontbied. Haar driejarige seun, Jeanré, was by haar.
“Hulle het my eers kombuis toe gevat. Ek het gesien my pa en broer is raak geskiet. My ma moes met haar kop tussen haar bene sit. Ek het Jeanré vir haar gegee. Sy het hom op die bank in die TV-kamer gaan sit. Hy het wonderbaarlik tjoepstil bly sit.”
Me. Slabbert is gedwing om die kluis vir die rowers oop te sluit. Hulle het mnr. Slabbert se versameling jaggewere, drie handwapens, kontant en juwele bymekaargemaak. Die gesin se selfone is almal afgeskakel nadat bure wat die skote gehoor het, aanhoudend begin bel het.
Die rowers het erken hulle het sowat twee weke gelede by die gesin ingebreek terwyl hulle vir die naweek weg was. Hulle kon toe nie die kluis oopkry nie.
Die rowers het gevlug in ’n voertuig wat buite in die straat op hulle gewag het. Vermoedelik het een van die gesin se werkers vroeër die hek na die straat vir hulle oopgemaak, het kapt. Aafje Botma, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder in Noordwes, gesê.
“Gelukkig is ons lewens gespaar. Maar hulle is met ’n klomp gewere weg waarmee hulle ander se lewens kan ruïneer. My pa en broer is seker ook met gesteelde wapens geskiet,” het me. Slabbert gesê.

Skiet eks ná ure se rusie
’n Man het sy voormalige vrou so erg aangerand dat klosse van haar hare nog in sy dooie hande verstrengel was nadat sy hom eergisteraand glo doodgeskiet het.
Mnr. Frik van Deventer (58) se lyk is in sy eertydse vrou, Gerda (56), se rondawel op hul afgeleë plaas Weltevrede, buite Mookgophong (Naboomspruit) in Limpopo, gekry.
’n Veiligheidswag van Scorpion Security Services in Mookgophong wat anoniem wil bly, het me. Van Deventer eergisteraand gesien. “As iemand my só gedonner het, het ek hom ook geskiet,” het hy gesê.
Byna haar hele kop en gesig was glo vol bloed.
’n Hewige rusie van sowat twee uur lank het die skietery blykbaar voorafgegaan.
Die Van Deventers is ’n paar jaar gelede geskei. Dit was albei se tweede huwelik.
Me. Van Deventer is dikwels aangerand, het ’n familielid gesê. Sy het selfs in ’n stadium ’n beskermingsbevel teen haar man gekry.
Volgens die familielid het die egskeidingsooreenkoms bepaal ’n deel van die plaas moes afgesny word en sy kon daar bly. Sy en mnr. Van Deventer het as bure klein boerderye met onder meer varke en hoenders bedryf.
Hy het eergistermiddag ’n bees op sy deel van die plaas geslag. Me. Van Deventer en nog ’n paar mense het daarmee gehelp.
Beeld verneem mnr. Van Deventer het daartydens gedrink.
“Die gekuier het al die middag begin. Hy het lekker fles gevat,” het die veiligheidswag gesê. Nadat al die ander mense vertrek het, het ’n rusie ontstaan.
Mnr. Van Deventer het glo ’n .22-jaggeweer op sy gewese vrou gerig en gedreig om haar dood te skiet. Sy is glo ook aangerand.
Sy het probeer wegkom en in haar BMW geklim. “Frik het die venster aan die bestuurderskant uitgeslaan, die deur oopgeruk en haar uit die motor gepluk,” het die familielid gesê.
Mnr. Van Deventer het haar daarna in sy bakkie ingedwing en na haar huis gery.
Insp. George Ledwaba, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê me. Van Deventer het haarself daar in haar rondawel toegesluit.
“Die man het die staalknip tussen die bo- en onderdeur met sy hande oopgebreek,” het Ledwaba gesê. Die stryery het voortgeduur en sy is glo verder aangerand.
Tydens die struweling het sy ’n .357-rewolwer in die hande gekry en na bewering op haar gewese man geskiet.
“Nadat sy hom die eerste en tweede keer geskiet het, het hy glo steeds aangehou om haar by te kom,” het die familielid gesê. Van Deventer is eers ná die derde skoot dood. Hy is in sy lies, maag en bors getref.
’n Erg beseerde me. Van Deventer het met die bakkie na bure gery, wat die veiligheidsmaatskappy en polisie ontbied het.
Sy is gister vir behandeling na die distriksgeneesheer in Mokopane (Potgietersrus) geneem.
Sr.supt. Johan Otto, speurhoof in Mookgophong, het gesê ’n moordsaak is geopen.
Woman kills ex after assault
Johannesburg - A man assaulted his former wife so badly that clumps of her hair were still intertwined in his hands after she shot and killed him on Wednesday night.
The body of Frik van Deventer, 58, was found in the rondavel belonging to his former wife, Gerda, 56, on their remote farm Weltevrede, outside Mookgophong (Naboomspruit) in Limpopo.
A security guard from Scorpion Security Services in Mookgophong, who wanted to remain anonymous, saw Gerda on Wednesday night. "If someone had hit me like that, I would also have shot him," he said.
Her head and face was apparently covered in blood.
A vicious two-hour argument apparently preceded the shooting. The Van Deventers were divorced a few years ago. It was a second marriage for both of them.
Gerda was often assaulted, said a family member. At one stage, she even got a protection order against him.
According to the family member, the divorce agreement stated that the farm was to be split and that she could live on one part. As neighbours, she and her former husband had run small farming enterprises with pigs and chickens.
On Wednesday afternoon, he had slaughtered one of the cattle on his part of the farm. She and a few people had helped him with that. At the time, Van Deventer was apparently already drinking.
"The drinking started in the afternoon already. He really hit the bottle," said the security guard. After the other people left, they started arguing.
Van Deventer apparently took a .22 hunting rifle and pointed it at his former wife, threatening to kill her. She was apparently also assaulted.
She tried to get away and got into her BMW. "Frik smashed the window on the driver's side, forced open the door and pulled her out of the car," said the family member.
He then forced her into his bakkie and drove to her house.
Police spokesperson Inspector George Ledwaba said she then locked herself in her rondavel.
"The man broke open the steel catch between the top and bottom door with his hands," said Ledwaba. The fight went on and she was again assaulted.
During the fight, she managed to get her hands on a .357 revolver and fired at her former husband.
"After she shot him the first and second time, he still managed to get at her," said a family member. Van Deventer only died after the third shot. He was hit in his inner thigh, stomach and chest.
Badly injured, Gerda drove the bakkie to neighbours, who contacted the security company and the police.
She was taken for treatment to the district doctor in Mokopane (Potgietersrus).
Senior superintendent Johan Otto, detective head in Mookgophong, said a murder docket had been opened.

Hoe kan mense so harteloos wees?
Twee van ons honde - Switserse herdershonde - is omstreeks middernag deur die aaklige rotgif two-step vergiftig.
Dit is al die tweede keer dat ons honde vergiftig word deur skelms wat nie omgee vir diere nie.
Die eerste keer het die honde dit nie oorleef nie en die skelms het weggestap met twee splinternuwe motorfietse.
Daarna het ons groter honde gekry en hulle afgesper van die erf voor sodat hulle nie gesien kan word van die straat af nie.
Die honde het vreeslik tekere gegaan so 12 uur se kant en toe ons gaan kyk wat aangaan, toe sien ons dat die honde vreemd loop en reageer en ons het dadelik geweet ons is weer die slagoffers van two-step-diewe!!
Hoe kan mense so harteloos wees en nie omgee vir die diere nie? Die polisie het laat weet dat Selection Park 'n teikenarea is vir two-step en die diewe mik direk vir huise waar motorfietse en motors met "mags" op die wiele staan.
Gelukkig ken ons nou al die roetine en het dadelik veearts toe gejaag met die honde, maar ook maar net omdat ons geweet het wat kan gebeur as die gif te lank in hul lywe bly.
Nou sit ons met 'n lekker vet veearts-rekening, siek honde en nog meer beangs dat hierdie tipe mense sal terugkom om klaar te maak wat hulle begin het!

Vicious killer gets another 20 year term
MURDERER and rapist Elton “Eyes” Klaasen, who is serving two life sentences for crimes committed last year, was yesterday sentenced to a further 20 years’ imprisonment for the “vicious” 2004 robbery and attack on an Aberdeen pensioner.
Klaasen, who robbed and severely beat Isabella van Rensburg in her Aberdeen home in 2004, subsequently brutally raped and murdered another Aberdeen pensioner, Susanna van Zyl, in 2008 while still awaiting trial for the 2004 crime.
There were reportedly long delays in obtaining forensic evidence in the trial linking blood on Klaasen’s clothes to blood samples drawn from Van Rensburg, giving him the opportunity to commit subsequent crimes.
Judge Ronnie Pillay yesterday described the robbery and attack on Van Rensburg as “serious” with “extreme repercussions for the victim”.
Evidence showed that Van Rensburg, now 69, suffered “irreversible” psychological change. From being a dynamic, independent woman, active in her community, she was now a “broken woman” unable to hold a conversation, and was declared unfit to give evidence in the trial of the man who attacked her.
The attack by Klaasen also left her with a broken skull, a broken cheekbone, deep cuts and serious bruising. So severe was the “unnecessary” attack on Van Rensburg, that there was even blood on the ceiling of her home.
Pillay could not understand why Klaasen had beaten her so severely while her hands were tied and she had already given him all her money.
It emerged in court yesterday that Klaasen had a long list of previous convictions dating back to 1993, including six for theft, three for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, two for housebreaking and one for robbery.
He was given suspended sentences for many of these crimes. He had subsequently also been convicted for theft in 2008 and had later also raped and murdered Van Zyl after gouging her eyes out with a kitchen fork.
Pillay yesterday said Klaasen had clearly decided in 1992 to make crime his career.
“And how many times did he get suspended sentences? I don’t know why he got suspended sentences.”
State advocate Nico Henning said Klaasen had shown no remorse for his deeds.
“The victim was a healthy, dynamic woman and now she is sitting in a home for the aged waiting for death. Her life was ruined by him.”
Pillay said the prescribed minimum sentence of 15 years was not enough and ordered that he serve 20 years for his attack on Van Rensburg.
Advocate Deon Geldenhuys , appearing for Klaasen, asked Pillay to order that the 20- year sentence be served concurrently with his life sentences.
It would, in terms of the Correctional Services Act, Pillay explained.
This means that Klaasen will still be eligible for parole after 25 years.

99 On The Cape robbed at gunpoint
A CAPE Road restaurant was robbed early this morning (March 20) by three men, one of whom was armed with a gun.
99 On The Cape restaurant was stormed by three men who held three staff members at gun point and threatened them with their lives for the safe keys.
Police spokesman Tembi Gwe said the men demanded the safe keys from the staff before ushering them into the bathroom and locking the door.
"The robbers demanded the safe keys and then locked the three employees in the toilet," she said.
"The suspects then took the cash from the safe and fled on foot."
Gwe said the staff members started screaming for help when a neighbour heard them.
"The neighbour then called the police, who responded immediately to the scene," she said. "The police who arrived had to kick the door down in order to free the staff."
The robbers escaped with and undisclosed amount of cash.

Bejaarde Jhb-egpaar wreed tuis vermoor
’n Johannesburgse man het eergister eers op sy vermoorde ma afgekom – met ’n bebloede naaldwerkskêr wat hy van kleintyd ken, langs haar – en toe op die lyk van sy stiefpa.
Die egpaar is helder oordag in hul huis in Linden doodgesteek, vermoedelik met die skêr, vir skynbaar niks meer as ’n handvol juwele nie.
Me. June Lambert (74), wat al langer as 30 j. in dié huis in 5de Laan woon, en haar man, Henry (78), was alleen tuis toe hulle omstreeks 15:30 oorval is.
Daar was gister steeds ’n duidelike bloedspoor in die huis wat op ’n struweling dui. Dit loop in die egpaar se slaapkamer dood.
Volgens mnr. Greg Shering, me. Lambert se seun, het die huiswerker die dag afgehad.
“Sy het ná 16:30 tuisgekom en na haar eie woonstel buite die huis gegaan. Toe sy teen 17:30 sien die deure staan nog oop, het sy onraad vermoed,” het hy gister gesê. Sy het gaan kyk en bloed in die huis op die vloer sien lê, waarna sy uitgehardloop en ’n familielid van die egpaar gebel het.
Shering het hom daarna na die huis gehaas en sy ma dood in ’n plas bloed in haar kamer aangetref. “Daar het ook ’n groot, bebloede skêr langs haar gelê. Dit was ’n ou skêr wat ek al ken vandat ek ’n jong seuntjie was, want dit het aan my ouma behoort.”
Hy het daarna na mnr. Lambert, sy stiefpa, begin soek, maar kon hom nêrens vind nie.
Die polisie het hom later in ’n badkamer agter in die huis gevind. Hy is ook doodgesteek.
Volgens Shering word net van sy ma se juwele vermis.
“Sy het ’n klein bakkery vanuit haar huis bedryf. Sy het soms R1 000 of wat se kontant by haar gehad, so hulle kon dít dalk ook geneem het.
“My stiefpa het oudergewoonte houtwerk in ’n buitekamer gedoen en hy is waarskynlik oorval terwyl hy by die huis in- of uitgegaan het.
“Die bure aan weerskante van hul huis het die middag nog gehoor hoe hy werk, maar het nie daarna gille of enigiets anders gehoor nie.”
Die Lamberts was volgens Shering ’n bedrywige egpaar.
“My ma het soggens 03:30 al begin bak en hulle het daagliks om 06:00 saam ’n hele paar kilometer gaan stap.”
Me. Lambert laat haar twee seuns agter en mnr. Lambert sy twee dogters, Beverly en Shirley.

Where are the crime stats for SA?
South Africans are in the dark about the crime situation in the country. The last national crime statistics the government made public are a year old and are no longer a reflection of the status quo.
It was expected that the government would release a biannual crime report in November or December last year, but failed to do so.
Memos sent to the government requesting up-to-date crime figures have met with no response and now some researchers and experts working for crime prevention organisations believe the government is deliberately with-holding the latest data on crime until after the elections.
The last national crime statistics were released to the public in June 2008 and they only contained data dating up to March 2008.
"This means that the information that we have now is a year old," said Johan Burger, a senior researcher for the crime, justice and politics programme at the Institute for Security Studies.
It was expected that the government would release the latest crime statistics in November or December 2008 as per its commitment to deliver biannual crime reports. But no national report has to date been released.
Burger is unsure that the government will even release its annual crime report in June this year.
"Perhaps we shouldn't judge too early, perhaps they are simply reviewing their crime stats release policy. They do need to reconsider it, but in the meantime we have no idea what is going on in the country," said Burger.
He suggested that it was "very plausible that the latest crime stats might contain bad news" that the government was loathe to release before the elections.
Several attempts made by Weekend Argus to contact the minister of safety and security, Nathi Mthethwa, for comment were unsuccessful.
The South African Police Service's (SAPS) crime statistician, Commissioner Chris de Kok, said he was unable to comment without Mthethwa's consent.
Should the government once again release national crime statistics for 2008/2009 in June this year, the existing data would be 15 months old. Without up-to-date crime statistics, Burger said there was no way of gauging the full extent of the crime situation in the country.
"We have no idea what is happening. We are completely in the dark," he said.
Since 2001, official policy dictated that crime statistics would only be released with the publication of the SAPS annual report in September.
Researchers and crime prevention agencies have put pressure on the government to release crime figures before to the annual report. There was also a call for more frequent reports.
In a public appeal to the government, David Bruce, a senior researcher in the Criminal Justice Programme at the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, made comparisons between other countries that struggled with high crime rates, such as Northern Ireland, which published six statistical reports a year, and the US, where the New York Police Department releases weekly statistics.
In 2007, former minister of safety and security Charles Nqakula released the national crime statistics three months ahead of schedule and made a commitment to release the national crime figures and trends every six months.
However, since Mthethwa's appointment in October last year, the release of national crime statistics have not been forthcoming.
"We saw the response by the former minister of safety and security as a step in the right direction. We suspect that the mid-term changes in the department of safety and security - the change in ministers - resulted in this commitment not being followed," said Siphiwe Nzimande, the chief executive officer of Business Against Crime South Africa (Bacsa).
Bacsa chairperson, Mark Lamberti and Nzimande submitted a proposal in a memo which was discussed with Mthethwa on November 3, 2008, in which they requested that the government release up-to-date crime statistics and more frequent reports, according to Nzimande.
"Further to this, a call was made by the chairman of Bacsa (Lamberti) in his keynote address at the National Crime Summit that took place on December 1-2, 2008. This summit was arranged by the ministry of safety and security at the specific request of the new minister and it was attended by three JCPS (Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster) ministers," said Nzimande.
During Lamberti's address, he suggested that the two most critical steps in dealing with crime were to "acknowledge the problem and measure the problem".
"The current annual publication of results, sometimes as late as 18 months after their occurrence, does little to assist the fight against crime, and we believe that the nation at large and all involved in fight against crime would be encouraged and motivated by the quarterly publication of crime statistics and other key measures of the efficiency of the criminal justice system," he said.
In the absence of the most up-to-date official data on crime, Bacsa sourced information directly from the SAPS, business organisations and other crime prevention partners.
"So, while Bacsa feel that they have sufficient information to remain operational, they suggest that the non-existence of crime statistics has a negative impact on businesses in the country," Nzimande said. "The failure to regularly release the national crime statistics denies business (big and small) the opportunity to properly assess opportunities for business developments, fixed investments and to develop confidence in the government".
He said releasing biannual national crime reports were insufficient.
"The position of Bacsa has been consistent in our call for the national crime statistics, together with the performance of the entire CJS (Criminal Justice System) to be ideally released frequently - at least quarterly," he said.

Gedig oor pa wat in roof geskiet is
My seun Phillip Minnie het die onderstaande gedig vir sy pa geskryf. Ek wil dit graag met Beeld se lesers deel.
Phillip se pa Flippie Minnie is einde verlede jaar in 'n gewapende rooftog voor hom geskiet. Ek sien elke dag die pyn en verlange op my kinders se gesiggies (Phillip is 14 jaar en sy sussie Elzaan 12 jaar).
Ek wens ek kon die seer wegvat maar al wat ek vir my kinders kan doen is om vir hulle te bid. Dit voel of my hart in twee skeur as ek sien wat die geweld in ons land aan al die onskuldiges doen.
