Die rooi skraap wat ’n koeël gelaat het op die voorkop van ’n man van Brits in Noordwes, was gister die getuienis van hoe naby hy aan die dood was toe hy rowers wou keer om sy motor te vat.
“Ek was gelukkig. Dit was nie my dag om dood te gaan nie,” het mnr. Gawie le Roux (57) gister dankbaar gesê.
Hy en sy vrou, Annalize (54), is omstreeks 20:00 Vrydagaand in hul motorhuis deur twee gewapende rowers oorval.
“Ons wil net so ’n paar goedjies by jou kry,” het ’n gewapende rower aan hom gesê.
Le Roux kon aanvanklik nie sy elektriese motorhuisdeur oopkry nie omdat die krag op die een of ander onbekende rede by die hoofskakelaar afgeslaan het.
Hy is toe by sy voordeur in na die kombuis waar hy die krag aangeskakel het. Hy het sy rewolwer onder ’n plastieksak op ’n kombuiskas neergesit voordat hy die motorhuis se deur gaan oopgemaak het.
Sy vrou het hul Honda by die motorhuis ingetrek. Le Roux was besig om hul bakkie in te trek toe hy hoor hoe iemand agter hom ’n pistool oorhaal.
“Hy (die rower) het gesê: ‘Klim uit, ons wil net so ’n paar goedjies by jou kry.’ Ek het stil geword en die Here gevra om oor te neem.”
Die rowers het die egpaar na hul hoofslaapkamer se badkamer geneem en Le Roux beveel om plat op die vloer langs die wasbak te sit.
Hulle het sy vrou beveel om op die toilet te sit, maar sy het geweier omdat sy ’n operasie aan haar voet gehad het. Hulle het haar toe beveel om op die bed te gaan lê, maar sy het steeds verseg.
Die een rower het toe al haar juwele, sleutels, haar trouringe en horlosie gevat en haar deur die huis geneem op soek na ’n kluis.
Toe hulle agterkom daar is nie ’n kluis met geld en wapens in nie, het hulle die egpaar na ’n spaarkamer geneem en gevra of hulle ’n opsporingstelsel in hul voertuig het.
“Nee,” het die egpaar geantwoord.
Hulle het toe die kamer verlaat en die deur agter hulle toegetrek.
“Toe ek hoor hulle start my Honda, toe sê ek vir Annalize: ‘De moer daarmee. Hulle gaan nie my kar vat nie,’ ” het Le Roux gister vertel.
Hy het uitgehardloop en sy voertuig se motorband probeer stukkend skiet, maar die skoot was mis.
Die rower het met sy pistool op Le Roux losgebrand. Die eerste koeël het deur die voertuig se voorruit getrek, die bakwerk getref, en is toe deur Le Roux se linkerbobeen en deur ’n tuinstoel wat agter hom gestaan het.
Die tweede skoot het die rooi spoor oor sy linkerkant van sy voorkop gelaat, tot onder sy hare in. Die koeël het in die muur agter hom vasgeslaan.
Die rowers het sy motor gelos en in hul eie motor gevlug terwyl hy nog twee skote in die lug geskiet het om hul bure te waarsku.
Die egpaar is dieselfde aand in die Brits MediClinic opgeneem en die volgende dag ontslaan. Hulle ontvang traumaberading.
Insp. Brain Dlamini, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê die polisie ondersoek die voorval.

’N Bekende Johannesburgse argitek, sy vrou en sy seun is eergistermiddag laat by hul huis geskiet, waarna die moordenaars weg is sonder om enigiets te steel.
Mnr. Julian Lap (55) is dood, terwyl sy vrou, me. Marilyn Visser, in die Netcare Milpark-hospitaal om haar lewe veg.
Julian (16) se toestand was gisteraand stabiel.
Dit lyk of die gesin ’n rustige Sondagmiddag saam deurgebring het soos wat hul gewoonte was, het mnr. Vaughan Hansen, hul buurman, gister vertel.
Lap se sigarette en aansteker het gistermiddag laat nog op die tafeltjie langs sy stoel op die patio gelê, ’n paar skoene naby dit op die vloer. Boeke was rondgestrooi; drie koeldrankglase het op die tafel gestaan.
Maar die bloedkolle in die oprit van hul huis in Parktown-Noord het getuig van die toneel wat hom eergistermiddag hier afgespeel het toe aanvallers Lap, Visser en Julian jr. geskiet het.
Die drie is volgens Hansen vermoedelik na ’n spaarkamer geneem.
Lap is in sy bolyf en Visser in die kop geskiet, het mnr. Mark Stokoe, Netcare 911-woordvoerder, gesê.
Visser is steeds in ’n kritieke toestand in die Netcare Milpark-hospitaal, het me. Amelda Swartz, woordvoerder van dié hospitaal, gesê.
Hansen het vertel hoe hy eergistermiddag omstreeks 18:30 gille van die huis af gehoor het.
Hy het buitentoe gehardloop, op sy sleepwaentjie gespring en oor die bure se muur gespring.
Dáár het hy ’n bebloede Julian jr. in die tuin gekry.
“Julian het sy hemp opgelig en gewys hy is in die bors geskiet. Daar was verskriklik baie bloed,” het hy gesê. Hy het besluit om dadelik met die kind hospitaal toe te jaag.
Die aanvallers het vermoedelik toegang tot die huis gekry deur op ’n hoop sand op ’n bouperseel langsaan te trap en oor die muur te klim.
Die aanvallers het gevlug sonder om enigiets saam met hulle te neem, het kapt. Cynthia Magoai gesê.
Hansen het gesê Julian jr. is ’n “goeie seun”.
“Hy is ’n SA karatekampioen.”
Mnr. James Brummer, Lap se vennoot by Julian Lap James Brummer Architects and Urban Designers, het gisteraand gesê die land het ’n groot denker verloor.
“Hy het ’n meesters(graad) in stadsontwerp gehad.
“Hy sou selfs in ’n stadium sy doktersgraad in Edinburg, Skotland, doen. Julian was iemand wat nooit wou ophou verstaan het hoe die heelal werk nie. Hy en sy seun het gereeld in diepte debatte oor dié en ander onderwerpe gehad. Hy was belese, het gereeld gereis en het verskriklike fyn smaak gehad.
“Dié gebeure verander ons almal se lewens drasties,” het hy gesê.

Weduwee beken voor landdros skuld ná moord op haar man
Randfontein. – ’n Weduwee van Vleikop en vermeende meesterbrein in die moord op haar afgetrede mynwerkerman, het gister in ’n verklaring voor ’n landdros skuld erken.
Mev. Henty Koch (47) was agt jaar met wyle mnr. Bernard (Smiley) Koch (51) getroud.
Mev. Koch en mnr. Linwell Strauss (24) van Kocksoord het albei bekentenisse voor twee onafhanklike landdroste afgelê, voordat hulle omstreeks middagete hul eerste verskyning in die streekhof hier gemaak het.
Insp. Peet Venter, die ondersoekbeampte, het getuig dat die twee bekentenisse afgelê het.
Koch en Strauss staan saam met mnre. Basil Ambraal (27) en Pieter Hess (57) tereg op aanklagte van moord en huisroof.
Beeld het die naweek berig Koch het enkele ure voordat haar man begrawe is, glo tydens polisie-ondervraging geknak en erken die moord op haar man was beplan.
Kort voor dié ondervraging het sy in ’n onderhoud aan Beeld gesê sy “kan nie tot ruste kom” oor haar man se dood nie.
Mnr. Koch is op 23 Februarie grusaam in sy bed in hul huis op hul kleinhoewe by Vleikop aan die Wes-Rand vermoor.
Hy is sowat 14 keer met ’n mes gesteek.
Mev. Koch was gister in ’n swart sweetpak geklee en het stil voor haar in die rigting van landdros Ettienne van Niekerk uitgestaar.
Beweerde doodsdreigemente tussen van die beskuldigdes het die staat gister genoop om van hulle in verskillende tronke aan te hou.
Venter het getuig dat Ambraal Saterdag gedreig het om Strauss en Hess dood te maak.
“As ek julle nie hier binne in die hande kry nie . . . onthou net, ek het pêlle daar buite!” is glo gesê.
Ambraal het ondanks Van Niekerk se waarskuwings dat enige getuienis wat in die hof aangehoor word as getuienis teen hom gebruik kan word, steeds in die beskuldigdebank homself probeer verdedig.
“Die vrou het vir hom (Strauss) gesê dat sy haar man wil laat doodmaak. Die stories van moord. . . ek haat dit. Ek het niks met die man (Strauss) te doen nie, edelagbare,” het Ambraal aangevoer.
Me. Alice Hitge, staatsaanklaer, sê die saak sal in die Johannesburgse hooggeregshof aangehoor word, aangesien dit “moord met voorbedagte rade” was.
Die staat het aansoek gedoen dat drie van die beskuldigdes se selfoonstate nagegaan word.
Daar is al op ’n knipmes en ’n broodmes, die beweerde moordwapens, beslag gelê.
Koch en Ambraal word in die Johannesburg-gevangenis aangehou, terwyl Hess en Strauss in die Krugersdorp-gevangenis aangehou sal word.
Die saak is tot 10 Maart uitgestel vir regsverteenwoordiging.

Rowers bel man se vriende
Marlothpark. – ’n Gesin van Secunda is in die soveelste aanval hier deur rowers aangehou en beroof.
“Dit was vreeslik. Ek het begin huil en wou heeltyd flou val. Maar die een rower het net aanhoudend gesê dat hy ons sal doodskiet,” het ’n erg getraumatiseerde mev. Sanet Lotz gisteroggend aan Beeld vertel.
Die voorval het Saterdag net voor 12:00 gebeur. Die Lotz-egpaar, hul seun en dié se maat, het by die egpaar se vakansiehuis gaan kuier.
Volgens Lotz was sy besig om die tuin nat te lei.
’n Man, wat gelyk het of hy werk soek, het haar genader.
Hy het egter ’n pistool oorgehaal toe Lotz omgedraai en vir hom gekyk het.
“Hy het my beveel om in die huis in te gaan. Dit was toe eers dat ek sien daar staan nog twee mans by die huis se deur. Hulle was ook gewapen.”
Volgens Lotz het haar seun, Pierre (15) en sy maat Ruan Janse van Rensburg (16), op die dek met ’n videokamera gespeel.
Hulle het die geraas onder gehoor en Lotz se man, Louis (51) – wat in die kamer gelê het, geroep.
Die rowers het hom en die seuns egter voorgekeer.
“Hulle het ’n laken opgeskeur en ons almal se hande en voete vasgebind. Veral een rower was baie aggressief en het ons die heeltyd gedreig,” het mev. Lotz vertel.
Sy het gesê die rowers het die hele huis deurgesoek en bykans al hulle besittings gevat. Hulle het ook die gesin se bakkie deursoek.
“Die rowers het nog vir ons die bakkiesleutel teruggebring en vir ons gesê dat ons stil moet wees en vir hulle twee ure kans moet gee om te vlug,” het Lotz vertel.
Die rowers het toe met die klere, selfone, beursies en selfs drank wat hulle gebuit het, te voet en met een trapfiets op die vlug geslaan.
Mnr. Lotz het sy kans gewaag, die paniekknoppie gedruk en na die bure gehardloop vir hulp.
“Ek voel leeg. Die vernedering is erg. Die rowers het selfs in die middernagtelike ure my vriende vanaf my selfoon . . . gebel en geluide gemaak,” het Lotz vertel.
Volgens Lotz het die rowers in gebroke Engels gepraat.

Robbers clean up, flee by bike
Marloth Park - A family from Secunda has been held up and robbed by burglars in the umpteenth robbery of this kind in the Marloth Park area.
A traumatised Sanet Lotz told Beeld on Monday morning: "It was terrible. I started crying and wanted to faint the whole time. The one robber repeatedly said he would kill us."
The incident occurred on Saturday just before 12:00 and the Lotzes, their son and a friend of his were at the couple's holiday home.
According to Sanet, she was watering the garden when a man who seemed as if he was looking for work approached her. However he cocked a firearm when Sanet turned to look at him.
"He ordered me to go into the house. It was only then that I saw there were two more men standing at the door to the house. They also were armed."
According to Sanet, her son, Pierre, 15, and his friend, Ruan Janse van Rensburg, 16, were playing on the deck with a video camera.
They heard the noise downstairs and called Sanet's husband, Louis, 51, who was lying down in the bedroom.
Sanet said: "They tore up a sheet and tied our hands and feet behind our backs. One robber was very aggressive and threatened us the whole time."
'The humiliation is terrible'
She said the robbers searched through the whole house and took nearly all their belongings. They also searched the family's bakkie.
Louis said: "The robbers brought the bakkie's keys back to us and told us to be quiet and to give them two hours in which to get away."
The robbers made their escape with clothes, cellphones, wallets and even alcohol which they had taken.
They fled on foot and on one bicycle with their loot.
Louis took his chance, pressed the panic button and ran to the neighbours for help.
"I feel empty. The humiliation is terrible. The robbers even phoned my friends from my cellphone, making noises in the middle of the night," he said.
According to Louis, the robbers spoke broken English. Police are investigating.

Woman knocked down by taxi during protest
A housing protest outside the department of housing's offices in Wale Street, in Cape Town, came to an abrupt halt on Tuesday when one of the protesters was seriously injured after being run over by a taxi.
Shocked onlookers turned around at the sound of screeching brakes, only to see a woman flying through the air and fall in the street after being hit by the taxi.
The woman was believed to be Karin Chubb of the Black Sash.
After the accident the protesters dispersed, with some going into the Housing Department's offices
After the accident the protesters dispersed, with some going into the housing department's offices.
A shocked passenger in the taxi remained seated while the driver stood outside. Bystanders tried to help until an ambulance arrived 10 minutes later.
The accident happened as Masiphumelele residents blocked access to the provincial department on Tuesday morning to protest against what they say is government red tape that is jeopardising a housing project in the area and donor funding of more than R1-million.
At stake is the groundbreaking housing initiative of the Amakhaya Housing Oumelelrganisation in Masiphumelele near Fish Hoek, which has been beset by government red tape.
Once complete, the project will provide homes for more than 1 200 residents who lost all their belongings in a 2006 fire.
'More delays will destroy our plans'
Residents have rebuilt their shacks, but conditions remained dire, with only 40 toilets and three taps on the site.
However, all the residents have been registered since the fire and will be the recipients of the Amakhaya Ngoku homes, designed by architect John Shaw if the process can overcome bureaucratic hurdles.
In a statement on Tuesday morning, the residents decried the provincial department of housing "blocking (their) efforts at building (their) own homes".
"We are not begging for houses", they said, but they were begging the department to respond soon, because "more delays will destroy our plans".
They say building costs are increasing and the land they have secured will not remain available forever.
Amakhaya Ngoku (Homes Now) has raised R10,5-million in private donor funding, but some donors would pull out if there were any further delays by the department, the organisation says.
The project received conditional approval for an Institutional Housing Subsidy in August last year.
But protesters say housing department officials are refusing to process the documents as the project has not yet been registered on the National Housing Database something that can only be done by the provincial Housing Department.

Crime drop stats 'meaningless'
Johannesburg - The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng questioned claims by the safety MEC that crime had gone down because it had not been given a chance to study the report on which the trends were based before its release to the media.
"These statistics are next to meaningless.
"Only he [Firoz Cachalia] sees them and only he gets to select which statistics to show us because of the government's insane attempt at [public relations] by suppressing regular crime statistics," DA security spokesperson John Moodey said.
The initiatives had also not first been presented to the portfolio committee of the Gauteng Legislature, which oversees the operations of his department, Moodey added.
"This committee is given none of these statistics and given no chance to question him on them."
He told Sapa: "We should have been informed and should have had an opportunity to look at these crime trends and ask some pertinent questions so that we would be able to defend his statement."
He would have liked to have ascertained a breakdown of the crimes that the 230 000 people arrested were alleged to have committed.
"It would be interesting to know how many of these arrests were for serious crimes and how many were successfully prosecuted."
Spokesperson Thapelo Moiloa said the document outlining the trends was available for scrutiny.
The crime trends released by Cachalia are separate to the statistics periodically released by national police.
According to Cachalia's report, 61% of all Gauteng policing precincts recorded a decrease in violent crimes between July and December 2007 compared to the same period the previous year.

'Callous' killer gets life
Pretoria - A KwaMhlanga man who strangled a single mother after she gave him a lift to town was a callous, heartless killer who remained a danger to society, a Pretoria High Court judge said on Monday.
Judge Eberhard Bertelsmann sentenced Lucky Kaiser, 27, to life imprisonment for the December 2005 murder and robbery of Leonie Chantler, 47, near her smallholding outside Boschkop, in the east of Pretoria.
Chantler, who lived on the smallholding alone with her two teenage children, was strangled and most probably indecently assaulted after agreeing to give her killer a lift to town and even waiting for over an hour until he arrived.
She never returned home. Her partly decomposed, half-naked body was found with a rope around her neck, with the other end tied to a tree, in the veld about 15km from where her bakkie was found abandoned next to the road two days earlier.
Bertelsmann said Kaiser had not shown a morsel of remorse about what he had done, choosing to tell lies about his horror deeds until the end of his trial.
"There is no indication that he feels he did anything wrong or that he has any remorse.
'The mental torture'
"... it took two agonising days before her body was found... One cannot even begin to imagine the mental torture her family must have gone through in those 48 hours.
"The distress that was caused by the way in which their mother was found was starkly evident when their daughter testified in court."
The lives of her children had been changed irrevocably.
They had to be taken in by other family members, but the emotional damage caused by the way in which they lost their mother would be with them for the rest of their lives, he said.
Bertelsmann said it was clear that Chantler was a resilient woman, who had farmed alone on her plot. She had struggled for her life. That's why deposits of her and Kaiser's blood were found in the cab of her bakkie.
The fact that Kaiser had been acquitted on a rape charge because of a lack of evidence would never remove the doubt in the minds of Chantler's family about how many horrors she had had to face before she finally died.
Callus denial of guilt
"You made your getaway in the truck in which she gave you a lift. When you ran the truck off the road, you removed the radio and tried to bluff your way out.
"... Fortunately, the dedicated and quick work of the investigating officers saw to it that you were not only apprehended within a few days, they also did a painstaking investigation and collected sometimes minute evidence, establishing a watertight case of circumstantial evidence," Bertelsmann said.
The callous fashion in which Kaiser had denied his guilt showed that he had a complete lack of respect for Chantler and her family, the judge said.
The attack was carefully planned and executed and life imprisonment was the only appropriate sentence, he added.

Killers strike hours before safety boss says violence is down
The claim that violent crime has decreased in Gauteng was cold comfort yesterday for relatives and friends of a family brutally attacked in their home.
Architect Julian Lap, 55, was killed and his wife, Marilyn Visser, 52, and 16-year-old son, Julian, were critically injured when armed men gained access to their Parktown North, Johannesburg, home on Sunday evening.
Lap was shot in the head and died on the scene.
The attack has shocked the family’s neighbours in the affluent suburb. They are wondering what more they can do to be safe in their already fortified homes.
Gauteng MEC for safety and security Firoz Cachalia said yesterday that the incidence of violent contact crimes such as murder, attempted murder, rape and aggravated robbery decreased by between 7percent and 10percent in the last six months of last year.
But, he conceded, ‘‘we cannot rest while law-abiding men and women are murdered or attacked in their homes”.
Vaughan Hansen, 49, the neighbour who rushed to the aid of the Lap family, agreed.
‘‘How much more can you do to protect yourself? Even electric fences don’t keep criminals out.”
He described the horror of walking into a blood- spattered bedroom to find his friend Lap lying dead, his critically injured wife next to him.
Hansen said he had jumped over the wall to help the family after hearing Julian junior shout for help at 6.30pm on Sunday.
‘‘He said his family was shot and lifted his shirt, showing he was shot under his right nipple,” said Hansen.
Without thinking of his own safety, he scaled the wall and ran into the house.
When he reached a spare bedroom: ‘‘I found both of them on the bed. Julian was dead ... His wife was holding him and she was moaning and groaning. Marilyn was really struggling.”
Hansen’s wife, Wendy, phoned the police while he rushed Julian junior to the Rosebank Clinic.
He then sped back to the house in Eighth Avenue.
The local security company and emergency services did not arrive until after Hansen’s return.
With tears in his eyes, Hansen yesterday described his neighbours as friendly people who he had known for four years.
“Julian was well known and belonged to the ratepayers’ association. They went away quite often and we looked after their home ... they were good people.”
Hansen said he and his family would need counselling to help them deal with Sunday’s nightmare.
Police spokeswoman Captain Cynthia Magoai said that by late yesterday afternoon no arrests had been made.
She said the two intruders had not taken anything from the house.
Hansen said he and other neighbours were concerned about a building project next to their homes. This is where police believe the intruders scaled the wall to gain access to the Lap home.
Hansen said he and his neighbours do not feel safe in their homes.
“ Parktown North has been a target in the past.”
Lap and his wife were shareholders in a Kameelhoek game farm, northwest of Johannesburg.
Farm manager Cobus Botha said yesterday everyone at the game farm was in a state of shock.
“Julian and Marilyn were not only shareholders here, they were good friends. Julian was an extremely pleasant person and he came here often, with his son, to bond and enjoy the bush. We can’t believe what has happened,” Botha said.
Su Linning, executive officer of the South African Institute of Architects, said the institute’s members were “extremely shocked” by Lap’s death.
Linning said: “In a country where we are struggling with skills, this is not only a loss to the profession, but to the whole country. We are extremely shocked and saddened.”
Marilyn Visser, a bond trader, is chief executive of Marilyn Visser and Associates and has more than 20 years of experience in financial markets.
She is the deputy chairman of the Bond Exchange of SA, which released a statement yesterday condemning the attack.
It said: “Marilyn is a valued member of the Bond Exchange’s board of directors, having been appointed in September 1998. She is a key contributor to the Bond Exchange’s transformation and growth. The directors, management and staff of the Bond Exchange have been deeply affected by the sad news and have Marilyn and her family in our thoughts and prayers as we continue the good work that she so valuably contributes to.”
Visser and her son are in the intensive-care unit of Milpark Hospital. Hospital spokeswoman Amelda Swartz said both were in a serious condition.
