Polisie had g’n krag hiér
Krugersdorp. – Die Wes- Randse 10111-radiobeheer- sentrum was eergister etlike ure sonder krag terwyl rowers ’n paar honderd meter daarvandaan in ’n skietgeveg met wagte in ’n klerewinkel betrokke was.
Twee kliënte van die Jet Mart-winkel is in die skietery gewond en nog ’n vrou het ligte beserings opgedoen, nadat geldwagte en rowers op mekaar losgebrand het.
Die geldwagte het twee verdagtes vasgetrek.
Die polisie het eers later van die voorval gehoor.
“Ons het die skote hoor klap, maar kon niks doen nie omdat ons nie radiokommunikasie gehad het nie – al die versenders in die radiokamer was af,” het een van die lede gesê.
Polisiemanne is keelvol om werk toe te kom en ure lank in die donker te sit, terwyl hulle nie misdaad kan beveg nie.
“Sodra daar kragonderbrekings is, is daar geen radiokommunikasie tussen enige polisie-eenhede in die Wes-Rand nie.”
Die situasie is nou so erg dat daar by tye net vier polisiemanne in dié beheerkamer is, wat in ’n stadium deur 12 lede beman was.
Dié 10111-beheersentrum is die enigste tak in Gauteng wat sedert November verlede jaar nog nie na die nuwe gesentraliseerde 10111-beheersentrum in Midrand verskuif het nie.
Die Tetra-radiobeheersentrum van R640 miljoen is einde Oktober verlede jaar deur pres. Thabo Mbeki en mnr. Charles Nqakula, minister van veiligheid en sekuriteit, in Midrand geopen.
Die probleem, sê polisielede, word vererger as al 12 telefoonlyne by dié sentrum en radiokanaalbeheerpunte, saam met direkte telefoonlyne na Telkom ook in die slag bly.
“Selfs die een foon wat tydens onderbrekings direk as noodlyn na Telkom deurgeskakel het, werk al vir twee tot drie weke nie. Hoe moet ons werk? Wat as ons ’n moord of verkragting kon keer?”
Die kragopwekker wat wel by die eenheid aangewend word, verskaf glo net genoeg krag om “die ligte in die gebou” aan te skakel. “Die klagtes is al verskeie kere aan die provinsiale kantoor deurgegee, maar hulle vee hulle daaraan af.”
Supt. Eugene Opperman, provinsiale woordvoerder, sê hy kan eers kommentaar lewer nadat die saak ondersoek is.

Man beroof, doodgeskiet
’n Man (37) van Lyttelton, Centurion, is gister tydens ’n rooftog doodgeskiet terwyl hy buite die kompleks waar hy gewoon het, op ’n saamrygeleentheid gewag het.
Volgens me. Aveline Hardaker, ’n polisiewoordvoerder, het die man kort voor die voorval saam met ’n vriendin buite die kompleks op ’n bankie gesit en wag.
Die vriendin het glo ingegaan om haar trui te gaan haal, toe twee mans in ’n motor opdaag en die man nader.
“Hulle het hom gevra of hy die sleutels of afstandbeheer vir die hek het. Hy het aan hulle gesê om te wag totdat sy vriendin terugkeer sodat sy die hek vir hulle kan oopmaak,” het Hardaker gesê.
Toe sy terugkeer, het sy die hek oopgemaak, waarop die mans haar skootrekenaar, handsak en selfoon gegryp het, het Hardaker gesê.
“Die man het in ’n struweling met die verdagtes betrokke geraak.”
Die verdagtes het hom doodgeskiet en met die buit weggejaag.

Pta doctor treats own attacker
Johannesburg - "His job is to rob and mine is to make people better."
These were the words of Dr Marie Coetzee after she treated an armed robber who was shot in the buttocks by police during a foiled robbery.
The suspect's accomplice was also arrested during the robbery after he was cornered because he was too scared to jump over the electric fence.
Police spokesperson Captain Colette Weilback said the incident took place at about 08:15 at the consulting rooms of Dr Van Niekerk and Partners at the corner of Fry and Walter Street in Waverley, Pretoria. Heard the shots
Fourteen people, among them a doctor, nursing sister, two patients and three medical representatives where overpowered and tied up.
"The robbers demanded money and cellphones," said Weilbach.
Jeanne Smit, 47, Tienkie Botha and Elzette van Schalkwyk, who managed to remain hidden from the robbers in another room in the building, called the police and ADT security.
"They reacted very quickly, because we heard shots ringing out shortly after we had called. The police and security were excellent," said Smit.
Chrisstel van den Bout, the nursing sister, said she had just taken a blood sample from a mother and her baby when an armed robber overpowered her.
"The mother and baby had just left through a back door when the robber walked in and said: 'Keep quiet and come along.' He pulled me into the corridor, put his gun to my back and ordered be to walk down the corridor.
"He then put me in a room where the other people were already tied with plastic cables," said Van den Bout.
The criminals didn't realise that the police would be at the scene within seconds.
Russel Heins, 36, who lived across the road from the consulting rooms, said he heard only two shots. "We looked through a window and saw the police open fire. There was shouting and running around and then it became quiet. The next moment the police dragged out two men."
Selina Mabuza, an employee, said she was outside when the police arrived.
"I didn't see anything, I just heard the shots. I didn't know what to do because I didn't know where it was coming from," she said shocked, while sitting on the ground shivering.
Weilbach said the wounded suspect underwent surgery on Tuesday afternoon to have the bullet removed from his buttocks. He is in a local hospital under police protection.

Shot Vermaak fell on top of me, says accused
ONE of the men accused of murdering Charlo mini-market owner Ignatius Vermaak testified yesterday that Vermaak fell on top of him after being shot.
Andile Gumede, 27, Thozamile Lungu, 31, and Simphiwe Joja, 24, of Motherwell, are appearing in the Port Elizabeth High Court on charges of murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and unlawful possession of a gun and ammunition.
Vermaak died after being shot in a scuffle at his shop on September 7, 2006.
Joja testified that he had met Gumede for the first time on the day of the shooting, but had known Lungu. He said he and his co-accused, along with two others, had driven to the shop in a Mazda because Gumede said he knew people in the area.
Joja said he had fallen asleep on the way and had woken up when the car stopped. Gumede had asked the driver to stop at a shop so that he could buy cigarettes. The men stopped at Vermaak‘s shop.
Joja said he had entered the shop when one of the men with him asked him if he wanted a cooldrink. Gumede drew a gun and pointed it at the worker behind the counter when he went to pay for the cooldrink.
“Vermaak looked up. He tried to grab the gun, but he could not because Gumede stepped backwards. When two shots were fired, Gumede pointed the gun at me and told me to get the money from behind the counter. I feared for my life.”
Joja said that when he lifted the money bag he had seen Vermaak‘s gun and taken it. “Vermaak grabbed hold of me. Another shot went off and he released his grip. He fell on top of me.” Gumede and Joja then ran towards their getaway car, but it had driven off.
Gumede‘s legal representative, advocate John Kayser, put it to the witness that his whole story was a fabrication.
During cross-examination by state advocate Jason Thysse, Joja said Gumede had fired the two shots in quick succession.
Thysse put it to him that Gumede had never pointed a gun at him and that he had been willing to play his part on the day of the shooting. He accused Joja of lying about where he had found Vermaak‘s gun, saying it had been under the counter and not under the money bag.
Joja did not dispute the fact that his palm print had been lifted from the shop counter.

Jeppestown 13 may be photographed
Johannesburg - The Johannesburg High Court ruled on Wednesday that pictures may be taken of the 13 accused in the Jeppestown gun battle case when the court is adjourned, in spite of protests from the accused.
When prosecutor Joanie Spies put forward the request by the media, some defence lawyers initially said they had no objection but after one of the lawyers consulted his client in the dock, all the accused objected strongly.
Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng then sparked an impromptu law lecture by asking the defence to explain constitutional clauses on freedom of expression, and privacy.
The defence dived into their briefcases to consult their legal tomes and passed down copies of the Constitution, to giggles from the gallery.
The judge ruled that he could not stop the press from doing its job once the court was adjourned.
The 13 are implicated in the deaths of 12 people, including four policemen, in a shootout in Jeppestown after a robbery on the West Rand in June 2006.

Flowers for murdered principal
Pretoria - Flowers in memory of slain nursery school principal Rinda Abraham were laid outside the Pretoria District Court where her three alleged killers briefly appeared on Wednesday.
A few hundred people held a silent protest outside court in memory of Abraham, who was shot and killed in her Waterkloof Ridge home in January.
Inside court the case of her three alleged murderers was postponed to February 12 for further investigation.
The three accused - Dinis Gentil Nhone, 36, Christovao Fresco Ndima, 19 and a third man who claimed to be under age - are charged with murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. They were not asked to plead.
Abraham's son Reggie said outside court that he hoped the murder had struck a cord with the country's leaders.
"All this support is awesome. She would have really appreciated this," Reggie said referring to the protest.
The laying of flowers and the silent protest was organised by civil rights initiative AfriForum.
"We want to show the families of victims of crime that they are not just statistics," chief executive of AfriForum Kallie Kriel said.

Accused ‘used Scholtz‘s SIM card‘ on night last seen alive
ONE of the men arrested for the murder of Port Elizabeth businessman Dieter Scholtz was found in possession of Scholtz‘s cellphone SIM card, the city magistrate‘s court heard yesterday.
Inspector Riaan Swanepoel told the court during a bail hearing yesterday that Chumasande Maloyi, 24, had been found with three SIM cards, one of which belonged to Scholtz.
The businessman, who was last seen on March 13 last year, had gone to collect outstanding rent from a bar in North End.
Maloyi was arrested in Cape Town after Scholtz‘s disappearance.
Swanepoel testified that Maloyi had used Scholtz‘s SIM card on the night he was allegedly murdered.
He said Maloyi did not deserve to get bail as he had formed part of a conspiracy to murder Scholtz.
Maloyi and his co-accused, Jarrad Blignault and Vusumzi Ncama, had planned the murder very well, he added.
“They were of the impression that they would get away with the murder because the body was not recovered,” Swanepoel said.
He said the case against Maloyi and his co-accused was the second in South Africa in which people had been charged with murder without a body being recovered.

Ma van babadogtertjie in huis doodgesteek
Durban. – Die bebloede lyk van ’n 30-jarige vrou is in ’n huis in Wembley, Pietermaritzburg gekry.
’n Polisiewoordvoerder, supt. Henry Budhram, sê me. Michelle Murisson se lyk is Woensdagaand in die huis in Armstrongstraat gekry.
“Ons aanvanklike ondersoek toon dat me. Murisson tuis gekom het na haar babadogter van 14 maande. Haar kêrel en ’n vriend was ook in die huis.
“Die twee mans het die huis sowat ‘n uur later verlaat om ’n werkopdrag uit te voer.
“Toe die kêrel later terugkeer, het hy die kombuisdeur oop aangetref en die oorledene wat in ‘n poel bloed lê.
“Die baba is ongedeerd,” het Budhram aan Sapa gesê.
Me. Murisson se motor, ‘n silwergrys BMW, was weg.
Die voertuig is later sowat vier kilometer van die huis af naby World View gekry.
Die polisie stel verdere ondersoek in.
