Pretoria - A man from a farm in the Roossenekal district in Mpumalanga has been "executed" with his own firearm in a revenge attack.
Skote ná: ‘Ek gaan jou wys wat ek met wit man kan maak’
’n Man van ’n plaas in die Roossenekal-distrik in Mpumalanga is in ’n wraakaanval met sy eie vuurwapen “tereggestel”.
Die aanval op mnr. Gawie Hough (42) kom twee maande nadat ’n voormalige plaaswerker van Deon (41), sy broer, hom gedreig het met die woorde: “Ek gaan jou wys wat ek met ’n wit man kan maak.”
Deon Hough, baas van dié plaas op die Steelpoort-pad, sê sy broer is Donderdagaand vermoor.
“Ek is Donderdag omstreeks 16:30 van die plaas af weg. Ons het nog gepraat en gelag. Om 18:00 het ons bure vier skote gehoor. Ons huiswerker, wat saam met my broer tuis was, is eers die Vrydagoggend na die polisie om te sê my broer is vermoor.”
Volgens hom het sy broer se aanvallers hom in die huis oorval en daarna sowat 600?m van die huis af gesleep. Hulle het hom toe in ’n paadjie op ’n baie kort afstand, terwyl hy vermoedelik vir hulle gekyk het, in die linkerkant van sy gesig geskiet.
’n Bron na aan die Hough-familie sê die kruit van die vuurwapen het ná sy dood nog op Gawie Hough se gesig vasgesit.
“Hy het hom vermoedelik in die paadjie doodgebloei, want hy het in ’n plas bloed gelê. Hulle het hom daarna nog sowat 15m verder in die bosse gesleep, maar het moontlik gestop om te rus voordat hulle hom nog 15m verder gesleep en hom onder ’n boom gelos het,” sê Deon Hough.
Die aanvallers het sy broer vervolgens nog sowat 20m verder tot langs ’n rivier gesleep en hom daar in die bosse gelos voordat hulle gevlug het.
Hy was net in ’n onderbroek geklee.
Deon Hough sê een van sy plaaswerkers het ná die voorval spoorloos verdwyn. Die werker is ’n broer van een van sy voormalige werkers. Albei mans is van Zimbabwe.
Volgens Deon Hough het hy die een broer ’n paar maande gelede afgedank omdat hy moeilikheid veroorsaak het.
“Twee maande gelede het dié werker my gebel en gesê: ‘Ek gaan jou wys wat ek met ’n wit man kan maak.’ Ek het hom gevra wat hy soek en hy het gesê hy wil R600 van my hê.
“Ek het die R600 vir sy broer gegee om vir hom te gaan gee. Ek het ook sy broer gevra om my selfoon waarmee die een broer weg is terug te kry, maar hy het dit nooit gestuur nie.”
Gawie Hough se moordenaars is vort met sy rewolwer, twee radio’s, twee selfone en sowat R1 000.
Die polisie het nooit vingerafdrukke op die toneel gaan neem of sy selfoonnommer geneem om hom te kontak nie, het Deon Hough gister gekla.
Supt. Ronel Otto, ’n polisiewoordvoerder, het bevestig dat die Houghs se huiswerker die polisie ontbied het. Otto sê daar is ’n moontlikheid dat drie verdagtes by die aanval betrokke is.

Boervrou maak haar oë oop ná kaping
’n Boervrou van Delmas in Mpumalanga wat verlede week in ’n mislukte motorkaping op die N12-hoofweg geskiet is, het gister vir die eerste keer haar oë oopgemaak.
Mev. Leonora van Wyk was in haar gesin se Toyota Hilux-bakkie van Daveyton aan die Oos-Rand op pad terug na die gesin se hoenderplaas in Delmas toe sy deur drie gewapende motorkapers oorval is.
Sy is deur die arm en long geskiet. ’n Koeël het in haar rug tussen haar hoofslagaar en rugmurg vasgeslaan.
Van Wyk se man, Francois, het gister gesê dokters het besluit om die koeël daar te los omdat dit nie skade kan doen nie. “Sy het haar oë ’n bietjie oopgemaak en sy hoor ons wanneer ons met haar praat. Sy is nie meer onder erge verdowing nie,” het mnr. Van Wyk gesê.
Mnr. Vossie Vos, operasionele bestuurder van Celtrac, ’n voertuigopsporingsmaatskappy, het vroeër gesê mev. Van Wyk en ’n werknemer, net bekend as Alpius, is Vrydag vermoedelik van Daveyton af deur drie gewapende mans agtervolg. Hy het gesê die skietery het langs die N12 in die omgewing van die Daveyton-oprit na die hoofweg plaasgevind.
Vos het gesê hy vermoed die kapers het van die toneel af gevlug omdat daar te veel motors in die omgewing was.
Kapt. Julia Claassen, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê die polisie ondersoek ’n saak van poging tot moord en poging tot motorkaping.

Vrou (85) in spogbuurt vermoor
Kaapstad - ’n 85-jarige vrou is dood in haar huis in Tokai, Kaapstad aangetref met haar keel wat afgesny is, het polisie gesê.
Supt. André Traut het gesê Elsa Brennan is dood in haar slaapkamer in haar huis in Foreststraat aangetref, omstreeks 19:00 Sondagaand.
“Daar was geen tekens van geforseerde ingang gevind nie en niks is uit die huis gesteel nie,” het Traut gesê.
Die motief vir die moord is steeds onbekend, en die polisie het nog geen verdagtes nie.

Kameras in Moot geïnstalleer om misdaad te bekamp
Misdadigers, wees gewaarsku. Grootbroer loer vir jou deur kameras en kan elke beweging wat jy maak in die fynste besonderhede dophou. Dít is die boodskap wat Moot-gemeenskapsekuriteit (MGS) aan misdadigers in die voorstede van Bergtuin, Môregloed en Waverley wil gee, na hulle die eerste van elf videokameras, wat die BMW-Cid aangekoop het, op 27 November geïnstalleer en aangeskakel het.
Reinhard Raschke, die eienaar van MGS, sê hulle het ’n unieke stelsel ontwikkel en hierdie inisiatief is die begin van ’n revolusionêre metode om persele deur middel van videokameras en die internet te monitor. “Ons noem dit die Sparrow Grid Network en dit is die eerste van sy soort in die land,” sê hy. Die kameras werk elk met ’n SIM-kaart en gebruik draadlose-internet om beelde na die MGS-beheerkamer te stuur.
“Sekuriteitswagte is nie meer genoeg om misdaad te bekamp nie. “Nou kan ons die wagte ook vanuit die beheerkamer monitor en bystand verleen sodra ons sien die wag het dit nodig,” sê Reinhard. Hy sê dit is ’n revolusionêre stelsel wat goedkoop en volhoubaar is.
“Daar is nog byvoordele ook. As inwoners besluit om kameras by hul huise te installeer, kry hulle onbeperkte toegang tot draadlose-internet.
“Hulle kan ook telefoonoproepe teen drastiese verminderde pryse, deur Voice-over Internet Protocol (VOIP) maak. “Die kamerastelsel is onfeilbaar. Sou een selfoontoring nie werk nie, sal die kamera outomaties die volgende naaste een soek en gebruik om sy seine te stuur.” Die videomateriaal wat ingesamel word, word opgeneem en kan later in die hof gebruik word.
“Mense moet besef ons is ernstig om misdaad te bekamp,” sê Marianne van der Laarse van die BMW-Cid bestuurspan. “Saam met hierdie kameraprojek bedryf ons die radioprojek waar inwoners in kontak met mekaar en 14 sekuriteitsmaatskappye asook die polisie en twee nooddienste gestel word,” sê sy. “Ons sal borde by verskeie ingange na die gebied aanbring om mense te waarsku dat kameras hulle dophou.”
Marianne sê een van die grootste hindernisse tot die suksesvolle implementering van die BMW-Cid se projekte is dat inwoners apaties is en ontsettend moeilik is om te mobiliseer. Inwoners word gevra om ’n maandelikse bydrae te maak om misdaad in die gebied te beveg.

Police ‘swoop on’ key suspect in Sacramento Trail mugging spree
POLICE have arrested a man suspected of a spate of muggings along the popular Sacramento Trail in Schoenmakerskop, Port Elizabeth.
A young couple celebrating being together for six months were attacked and robbed last week while having a picnic.
The couple, taken to hospital by British tourists in the vicinity, said a man in a red T-shirt had come from behind and started hitting them with rocks. Both sustained head injuries.
Early last month veteran journalist Bill Krige, of Walmer, was robbed of his wallet and watch while walking his dog near the start of the trail. He was hit with a rock and stabbed in the head by a man in a red T-shirt.
Krige said at the time that an elderly woman and a pregnant woman had also been attacked about three weeks earlier, apparently by the same man.
A Walmer police station officer said yesterday: “We arrested the man at about 7am in Schoenies.”
He said police had acted on a tip-off from a concerned resident who had spotted a man wearing a red T-shirt “loitering around” and “we just swooped on him”.

Teams to hire warzone security for World Cup
Many of the nations taking part in the World Cup will use private security firms - including war-zone specialists who operate in Iraq and Afghanistan - to safeguard their players and officials.
Sources in the private protection industry have said that high-profile football associations from Europe and South America have already hired firms that will use ex-military personnel, some of them special forces veterans, to look after players and their families. The firms will provide round-the-clock armed bodyguards, bulletproof vehicles, hijack prevention advice and squads that can handle kidnap situations. Kidnap insurance is also offered by some agencies.
The revelations come amid fears there could be "gaps in the coverage" provided by the organisers. A number of football associations from around the world and senior figures in international administrative circles have concerns sparked by lapses at last summer's Confederations Cup, which was effectively a small-scale test event for 2010.
"There was no single major mishap, but some worrying gaps were noted, suggesting there won't be enough properly trained security at every place they'll be required," one source said. "Security contracts weren't in place until very late, some players had property stolen from hotels, and some fans were victims of crime.
'There was no single major mishap, but some worrying gaps were noted'
"And at the Confederations Cup there were just eight teams, playing in four stadiums, three of which were within (112km) of each other. The World Cup is in a whole different league, with 32 teams, 10 stadiums in nine cities across more than a thousand miles, and millions of fans, hundreds of thousands from overseas."
Another source said: "South Africa has a fantastic reputation for sports events. It has staged the Rugby World Cup, Lions tours, and major international cricket - but its infrastructure is under pressure. Booking rooms and internal flights is already a struggle, and the security is just as susceptible."
Fifa said it was satisfied the South African authorities had done all they could to secure the safety of players, officials and fans.
‘Spesiale magte’ vir 2010-spelers
Johannesburg - Verskeie lande wat aan die 2010 Wêreldbeker-sokkertoernooi gaan deelneem, sal private sekuriteitsfirmas in diens neem, het die Pretoria News berig.
Dié firmas, wat oorlogspesialiste uit Irak en Afganistan in hul diens het, sal gebruik word om die spelers en amptenare te beskerm.
Bronne in die private sekuriteitsbedryf, het gesê sokkerverenigings in Europa én Suid-Amerika het reeds firmas wat voormalige militêre personeel, waarvan sommige spesiale magte is, aangestel om spelers en hul families te beskerm.
Dié firmas sal 24 uur per dag gewapende lyfwagte, koeëlvaste voertuie, advies oor hoe om kapings te voorkom en taakspanne wat ontvoeringsituasies kan hanteer, beskikbaar stel.
Ontvoeringsverskering sal ook deur sommige firmas aangebied word, lui die berig.
Dié onthullings is gemaak te midde van vrese dat daar “gapings in die sekuriteit” wat deur organiseerders voorsien word, kan wees.
Verskeie sokkerverenigings van regoor die wêreld en senior figure in internasionale administratiewe kringe het hul kommer uitgespreek. Hul gevoelens is aangevuur deur beweerde glipse in sekuriteit by verlede jaar se Konfederasiebeker, wat as ‘n toets vir 2010 gesien is.

Use deadly force, Cele tells cops
Johannesburg - National police commissioner Bheki Cele has again told members of the South African Police Service (Saps) to "use deadly force" against criminals.
"If somebody uses a camera to shoot you, smile. But when they use anything else to shoot you, use deadly force before they can do anything - and don't miss," he said at the launch of the police's festive season campaign in Sandton on Monday.
Cele denied ever using the term "shoot-to-kill".
"Criminals are brutal and heartless. They come into your house. They rape the wife and force the husband to watch. You cannot tell me that is a human being," he said.
People who fought for animal rights should include the rights of criminals.
"If somebody goes around raping and killing innocent people, tell me, what right does he have?" Cele asked.
The ideal South Africa was one where a young woman could walk home in the middle of the night without fear of being raped or murdered, he said.
Cele's call for deadly force was supported by the Deputy Minister of Police Fikile Mbalula, who said detractors of the policy would not demoralise the government.
"Shoot-to-kill is not a government policy and Section 49 [of the Criminal Procedures Act) is not the alpha and omega," he said.
"The criminals’ graves are coming. Those who are lucky will spend the festive season in orange overalls."
Speaking out about corruption, Cele appealed to businesses not to lead the police into temptation. He reiterated his commitment to getting rid of crime "inside and outside" the police.

A third of SA police stations ‘unreachable’ by phone – DA
MORE than a third of telephone numbers for South African police stations do not work.
So said the DA yesterday after conducting a survey.
“South Africans need a police service that is reliable and efficient in the service they provide,” said DA shadow police minister Dianne Kohler-Barnard. “So for one- third of police station phone numbers not to work is significantly disempowering to ordinary South Africans.”
The DA made 270 phone calls to police stations in the country – randomly selecting 10 police stations in each province. Barnard said 97 out of 270 calls did not take the caller through to an officer at that station.
Kohler-Barnard said it was necessary for police station numbers to work, given the “general unreliable nature” of the emergency 10111 number.
Earlier this year the Auditor-General said more than 50000 calls to 10111 were dropped last year.

Pretoria - Father Louis Blondel, 70, a French priest of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Diepsloot, north of Johannesburg, was shot dead in his room on Monday at about 02:00 when child robbers gained access to the rectory.
He was shot through his left shoulder, with the bullet exiting his back. The children had opened the door for the robber.
Blondel had been a member of the Missionaries of Africa, whose stated mission is serving the people of Africa. He's been in South Africa since 1987 and has lived in Diepsloot since August last year.
Before moving there, he worked in Tanzania, Soweto and Hammanskraal, north of Pretoria. Father Guido Bourgeois, 70, who saw Blondel being shot, said three teenagers entered the house through a window at approximately 02:00.
"They came into my room and woke me. I started to scream but they told me to 'shut up'. One of them was pointing something in my direction, but I couldn't see if it was a firearm," said Bourgeois.
The children asked for money, upon which he gave them a R50 note he had in his wallet.
"One of them removed a painting from the wall to see if there's a safe behind it. The other opened cupboards and said they're looking for money."
According to Bourgeois, the teenagers asked for keys to the house. They followed him to the front door, where they forced him to unlock it.
"When I unlocked the door, a big, tall man of about 35 years was standing in front of me."
Bourgeois said the robbers then forced him back into the house and wanted to know how many people there were in the house. He said there were three.
The other resident is a man who had been staying there for a few months, since he had no other place to stay.
The robbers took Bourgeois to Blondel's room.
"Suddenly Louis opened his door and yelled 'What's going on', and then they shot him.
"I ran to the kitchen and pushed the fridge against the kitchen door. Then I went to the window and screamed for help."
Within two minutes, between 30 and 40 people had rushed to the house to help.
The robbers shot at them as well, before fleeing.
Bed covered with blood
"Somebody called out to me, 'Father, you can come out, they're gone.' I ran to Louis immediately and found him lying face-down on his bed.
"The whole bed was covered with blood and there was a hole in his back where the bullet had come out."
Bourgeois, who's been hijacked five times in Orange Farm, said "one gets used to this kind of evil".
He said he will never leave the country.
"I've learned to live with death," said the Canadian, who's been living in South Africa since 1980.
"What must happen, will happen. The Lord did only good, and he was murdered," said Bourgeois.
‘Mens raak hierdie boosheid gewoond’
Vader Louis Blondel (70), ’n Franse priester van die Sacred Heart Katolieke Kerk in Diepsloot, noord van Johannesburg, is gister omstreeks 02:00 in sy kamer doodgeskiet nadat kinderrowers toegang tot die pastorie gekry het.
Blondel is die vierde Katolieke priester wat vanjaar in Suid-Afrika vermoor is.
Hy is deur die linkerskouer geskiet en die koeël is by sy rug uit. Die rower wat hom geskiet het, is ’n “lang man” vir wie die kinders die deur oopgesluit het. Blondel was ’n lid van die Sendelinge van Afrika wie se sending dit is om die mense van Afrika te dien. Hy is sedert 1987 in Suid-Afrika en woon van Augustus verlede jaar in Diepsloot.
Voor dit het hy in Tanzanië gewerk in daarna in Soweto en Hammanskraal, noord van Pretoria.
Vader Guido Bourgeois (70) wat gesien het hoe Blondel geskiet word, het gesê drie tieners het omstreeks 02:00 deur ’n venster by die huis ingekom.
“Hulle het in my kamer gekom en my kom wakker maak. Ek het begin skreeu en toe sê hulle ek moet ‘shut up’. Een het iets in my rigting gehou, maar ek kon nie sien of dit ’n vuurwapen was nie,” het Bourgeois gesê.
Die kinders het gevra vir geld waarna hy hulle ’n R50-noot wat in sy beursie was, gegee het.
“Een het ’n skildery van die muur afgehaal om te kyk of daar nie ’n kluis daaragter is nie. Die ander het kaste oopgemaak en gesê hulle soek geld.”
Volgens Bourgeois het die tieners die huis se sleutel gevra. Hulle is saam met hom na die voordeur waar hulle hom gedwing het om dit oop te sluit.
“Toe ek die deur oopsluit, het ’n groot, lang man van sowat 35 jaar voor my gestaan.”
Bourgeois het gesê die rowers het hom daarna terug in die huis gedwing en wou weet hoeveel mense daar in die huis is. Hy het gesê daar is drie.
Die ander inwoner was ’n man wat al ’n paar maande lank daar woon omdat hy nie blyplek gehad het nie.
Die rowers het Bourgeois na Blondel se kamer geneem.
“Skielik het Louis sy deur oopgemaak en geskreeu: ‘Wat gaan aan’ en toe skiet hulle hom.
“Ek het na die kombuis gehardloop en die yskas teen die kombuisdeur gedruk. Daarna het ek deur die venster om hulp geskreeu.”
Binne twee minute was daar tussen 30 en 40 mense buite om te help.
Die rowers het op hulle ook geskiet en gevlug.
“Iemand het vir my geskreeu, ‘Vader kan maar uitkom, hulle is weg.’ Ek het dadelik na Louis gehardloop, en hom met sy gesig plat op sy bed gekry.
“Die hele bed was vol bloed en daar was ’n gat in sy rug waar die koeël deurgekom het.”
Bourgeois, wat al self vyf keer in Orange Farm gekaap is, het gesê “?’n mens word gewoond aan dié soort boosheid”.
Hy het gesê hy sal nooit die land verlaat nie.
“Ek het geleer om met die dood te leef,” het dié Kanadees, wat sedert 1980 in Suid-Afrika woon, gesê. “Wat moet gebeur, sál gebeur. Die Here het net goed gedoen en hy is vermoor,” het Bourgeois gesê.

Pretoria - The trial of a man accused of murdering a war veteran was on Monday postponed in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court as he might need mental observation.
The court heard that Albert Mothala Mothiba, 34, of Polokwane might be schizophrenic.
Therefore, the defence requested that he be examined by a district surgeon who could, if necessary, refer him for psychiatric evaluation and observation to determine if he could be held accountable and stand trial.
Mothiba was arrested on November 13 this year, after he was found in Frans Swemmer's white Mercedes-Benz in Hammanskraal.
According to the State, he also had a firearm and there were bloodstains on Mothiba's clothes and inside the vehicle.
Served in WWII, Korean War
A few hours earlier, the 89-year-old Swemmer's body was discovered tied up, covered in wounds and blood in his Monument Park home.
Swemmer served as a fighter pilot during World War 2 and the Korean War.
Prosecutor Sipho Letsoalo told the court there was blood in Swemmer's garage and bloodstains leading to the house where his body was found.
Mothiba first appeared in the Temba Magistrate's Court on a charge of theft of a motor vehicle.
The case was transferred to Pretoria, where he faced additional charges of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
Accused 'tended to forget things'
Letsoalo said Mothiba tried to run away when he was apprehended and that police were still searching for two other men.
He said that if Mothiba wanted bail, he would have to prove exceptional and compelling circumstances as to why his release would be in the interests of justice.
Defence lawyer Lerato Rammupudu said that, before applying for bail, she wanted Mothiba referred for mental evaluation.
She said he told her during consultation that he was schizophrenic and that he tended to forget things.
The matter was postponed to December 14 for Mothiba to be examined by a district surgeon, who would recommend whether he should go to Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital.
