Stillbay businessman murdered
Johannesburg - A businessman was found dead after he went to investigate a "burglary" at a local airfield hangar, Southern Cape police said on Saturday.
Captain Malcom Pojie said Jacobus Marais, 56, had received a false call that there had been a burglary at the airfield on Saturday morning.
"He was sleeping at his Jongensfontein house near Still Bay in the Southern Cape at 01:30 when he received the call," Pojie said.
"He woke up and drove to the place to investigate, and when he did not return after two hours, his wife called the police."
Police went to investigate and there was no sign that the place had been robbed and Marais was not there.
Pojie said after investigations, Marais' body was found outside a house in his neighbourhood. His body laid next to his car.
"He was hit with a blunt object to his head."
Pojie said Marais owned a local tyre fitment centre. No arrests had been made.

‘Sonskynland word ’n land van trane’
JOHANNESBURG. – Naasbestaandes van moordslagoffers landwyd het Saterdagaand hier bymekaargekom om seker te maak hul geliefdes word as meer as net moordstatistieke onthou.
Die organisasie Stand, wat veg vir die regte van misdaadslagoffers, het ’n kersligwaak Flames of Remembrance by die Cresta-inkopiesentrum in Johannesburg gehou om hul geliefdes te herdenk.
Naasbestaandes het hul verhale met mekaar gedeel en onderling ondersteuning gebied terwyl hulle kerse, wat elk ’n slagoffer voorstel, vasgehou het.
“Dis glad nie meer ’n land van sonskyn nie, maar een van trane. Almal probeer nou die land vir 2010 veiliger maak, maar wat van ons wat nóú hier is?” het mev. Denise Goldin, die akteur Brett Goldin se ma, by die geleentheid gesê.
Goldin is vroeër vanjaar saam met sy vriend Richard Bloom in Kaapstad eers gekaap, ontvoer en later vermoor.
“Ons voel erg verraai omdat daar nie genoeg beskerming vir Brett was nie. Die beskuldigdes sal ná hul vonnis (uitgedien is) weer ’n vol lewe kan lei, maar ons sal vir ewig ’n gebroke lewe hê.”
Mev. Elaine Siebert, wie se 6-jarige seun, Steven, verlede Desember op Plettenbergbaai deur ’n selferkende pedofiel vermoor is, het haar kommer oor die misdaad en regstelsel in die land uitgespreek.
“Steven het net so drie meter van ons tuin gespeel voor hy vermoor is. Ek het nog vroeër die dag vir hom gesê hy moet buite speel omdat daar te veel geweld op televisie was,” het Siebert vertel.
“Hy is deur ’n roofdier, wat al voorheen aangekla is, gejag en daar is op sy onskuld en naïwiteit gespeel. Nou voel dit asof die saak net na die kant toe gegooi word.”
Die student Leigh Matthews, wat in 2004 vermoor is, se ma en gesinslede van Merissa Naidoo, die 10-jarige meisie wie se lyk verlede jaar in ’n tas gekry is, se familie het ook die geleentheid bygewoon.
Die Suid-Afrikaans gebore akteur sir Anthony Sher, wat al byna 40 jaar in Engeland gevestig is, het hom ook teen die hoë misdaadsyfers uitgespreek.
Sher is tans in die land om ’n dokumentêre program oor misdaad in Suid-Afrika vir Britse televisie te skiet.
“Die stories wat ek sover al gehoor en gesien het, het my tot in my binneste geruk. Ek sal nooit weer my land op dieselfde manier kan sien nie. Ek kan nou rêrig verstaan wat die titel van Alan Paton se boek Cry, the Beloved Countrybeteken,” het Sher gesê.
“Suid-Afrika se demokrasie, wat deur die res van die wêreld bewonder word, is nou deur die misdaad in die land bevlek.”

Small town shocked by murder
Jongensfontein - Residents of this small town near Stilbaai were deeply shocked by the murder of a well-known businessman at the weekend.
Johannes Marais, 56, better known as Basie, was found next to his bakkie on a building site next to his home in Compass Lock in Jongensbaai about 03:00 on Saturday.
"He was apparently hit over the head with a blunt object and seemed to have died at the scene," said police spokesperson captain Malcolm Pojie.
Apparently Marais and his wife Ruby were in bed when the telephone rang at about 01:30. An unknown person informed him that somebody was breaking into the hangar at Stilbaai airfield, where he kept his small aircraft.
No sign of burglary
According to Marais's wife he left for the airfield, said Pojie.
When he failed to return after about two hours, she called the police.
The police went to the airfield, but found no sign of a burglary. They returned to the couple's home in Jongensbaai, where they noticed Marais's bakkie on the neighbouring property.
They found his body next to the bakkie.
"Somebody must have been waiting for him and hit him over the head," said Pojie. "It seems as if nothing had been taken and the police have not yet been able to establish a motive for the murder," he said.
Residents of this town of about 280 inhabitants were shocked by the murder. "People say it seems like a revenge murder," said one resident on condition of anonymity on Sunday. "If the motive was theft, something would have been stolen. Marais apparently did have an enemy or two, or so they say."
Marais was acting as owner-builder.
"Everbody knew Basie and his yellow aircraft was a familiar sight,"said Barbara de Jager from Jongensfontein. "It is a tremendous shock for everybody."
Marais was the owner of Kloof Auto Centre. His wife owns a clothing store in Stilbaai.
Attempts to contact her failed on Sunday.
Marais is survived by two children from his first marriage, Desire, 35, and Sarel, 37, his wife, and a daughter from her first marriage, Jessica, 23, reported Rapport on Sunday.

Bid to scrap Lotz murder
Cape Town - A Cape High Court judge is to rule on Tuesday on a bid by Stellenbosch hammer murder accused Fred van der Vyver to have the case struck from an "overcrowded" roll.
Van der Vyver, 22, an actuary with Old Mutual, allegedly bludgeoned his girlfriend Inge Lotz to death in her Stellenbosch flat in May last year.
The trial, for which the prosecution has listed 91 witnesses including forensic experts, was originally scheduled to start on Monday.
However the State gave notice last week that it would apply for a postponement to January.
Prosecutor Nicolette Bell told Judge Essa Moosa on Monday this was because of both an "overcrowded" court roll and the unavailability of the senior State advocate who was handling the complex case.
She said that of the 10 trials due to start in the high court on Monday, seven would have to be postponed.
'We want to show he's innocent'
Some of these dated as far back as 2003, with accused who, unlike Van der Vyver, who is on R10 000 bail, were being held in custody.
Priority was given to part-heard cases, Bell said, which meant that even had the advocate been available, Van der Vyver's case would have been postponed anyway.
Advocate Dup de Bruyn, one of three advocates appearing for Van der Vyver, said his client wanted his day in court.
"We want to continue. We want to show he's innocent," he said.
But having the murder charge hanging over him to January - when the State could ask for yet another delay - would be hugely prejudicial to Van der Vyver's emotional state, his studies, and his position at Old Mutual.
He asked that Moosa strike the case from the roll and rule that the charge could be re-instituted only with the written authority of the director of public prosecutions.
Defence 'not hiding anything'
"Don't postpone it, my lord. We don't trust the State with dates any more," he said.
De Bruyn quoted the recent Pietermaritzburg High Court judgment in which the case against ANC deputy president Jacob Zuma was struck from the roll.
He also said the defence was "not hiding anything", that Van der Vyver gave his alibi to police the morning after the killing, and that the defence gave the State a summary of fingerprint analysis by its own expert witness a year ago.
Bell said in reply that Zuma's case was "entirely different", as there, the investigation had not been completed and an indictment had not been served.
She said the State had investigated Van der Vyver's alibi, and still believed it had a strong case.
Moosa said he would rule on the application at 10:00 on Tuesday.

OOS-KAAP: Lyk onder bed gevind
PORT ELIZABETH. – Die lyk van die vermoorde Baaise sakeman mnr. Hein Nel is onder die bed in ’n eenslaapkamer-woonstel in Sentraal ontdek nadat die polisie reeds Vrydag by dié woonstel ondersoek ingestel het.
Nel, ’n werknemer van Softline VIP, se lyk is Sondag gevind nadat hy Vrydag ’n kliënt gaan spreek het, maar nie weer by die werk opgedaag nie.
Sy ontstelde pa, mnr. Cas Nel, het gesê Hein sou ná sy ontmoeting met ’n kliënt een van sy huurders in Sentraal oor haar agterstallige huurgeld gaan spreek. Dié huurder is intussen deur die polisie in hegtenis geneem en sal vandag in die landdroshof verskyn.
Haar naam mag weens regsredes nie genoem word nie.
Die oorledene het volgens Nel sr. ’n klomp woonstelle in die Baai verhuur.
Me. Wianelle Briers, Nel se kollega, het gesê sy pa het die vrou Sondag gaan soebat om hom te vertel waar sy seun is. Sy het Hein se pa volgens Briers glo stip in die oë gekyk en aan hom gevra wat hy wou hê sy moes doen.
“Sy ouers is nog baie hartseer en erg geskok. Hy was hul enigste seun,” het ’n ontstelde Briers gesê.
Supt. Johann van Greunen, polisiewoordvoerder, het gister gesê dit is nog onduidelik of die oorledene in ’n stryery by die woonstel betrokke was of wat presies daar gebeur het.
Volgens hom was die polisie Vrydag by die woonstel, maar hulle het volgens hom nié die woonstel deurgesoek nie.
“Die polisie het die vrou Vrydag gaan vra of die oorledene daar was, waarop sy gesê het hy is reeds weg.
“Hulle het die woonstel Sondag deurgesoek nadat hulle meer inligting verkry het,” het Van Greunen gesê.
Hy het bevestig dat die lyk onder die bed gevind is en dat die oorledene verwurg is.
’n Forensiese span van die polisie was gisteroggend in die woonstel besig, maar wou nie die media toelaat om naby die woonstel te kom of om foto’s te neem nie.
Twee inwoners wat enkele treë vanaf die woonstel bly, het gesê hulle het niks gehoor of gesien nie.
Dié mans, wat nie hul name wou verstrek nie, het ook gesê hulle het nie juis die verdagte geken nie.
’n Beloning van R5 000 is vroeër uitgeloof aan enigeen wat kon help om die oorledene op te spoor. ’n Plakkaat wat duidelik aandui dat die oorledene vermis word, het Sondag nog teen ’n lamppaal reg voor die woonstelblok gehang, maar is gister verwyder.
Die moontlikheid bestaan dat nóg mense in verband met die moord in hegtenis geneem kan word.

SUID-KAAP: Vermoorde sakeman is voor sy dood ‘bekeer’
JONGENSFONTEIN. – Die sakeman wat Saterdag onder vreemde omstandighede hier vermoor is nadat hy vermoedelik met ’n stomp voorwerp teen die kop geslaan is, is kort voor sy dood gedoop ná hy hom glo bekeer het.
Só het past. Jan Kleynhans van die AGS-gemeente op Stilbaai, waar die vermoorde mnr. Basie Marais (56) en sy vrou, Ruby, lidmate was, gister aan Die Burger gesê.
Marais se liggaam is vroeg Saterdagoggend by sy bakkie op ’n bouperseel langs sy huis op Jongensbaai gekry.
Marais het glo omstreeks 01:30 ’n telefoonoproep gekry van iemand wat beweer het daar word by sy vliegtuigloods op die Stilbaai-vliegveld ingebreek, het kapt. Malcolm Pojie, ’n polisiewoordvoerder, vroeër gesê.
Marais is na die vliegveld. Toe hy ná twee uur steeds nie tuis was nie, het sy vrou die polisie gebel. Die polisie is na die vliegveld, maar Marais was nêrens te vinde nie. Die polisie is terug na sy woning, waar hulle hom op die bouperseel langs die egpaar se huis gevind het.
Kleynhans het gesê Marais was vroeër vanjaar baie siek, vermoedelik weens probleme met sy dikderm.
“Ek het hom een oggend vanaf die kansel, voor die hele gemeente, op sy selfoon in die hospitaal gebel. Hy het gevra: ‘Bid asseblief vir my. Ek wil die Here saam met julle dien’. Die hele gemeente het dié woorde aangehoor,” het Kleynhans gesê.
Ná sy siekte is Marais en sy vrou op 27 Augustus in die kerk gedoop. Kort voor hulle gedoop is, het Marais aan Kleynhans gesê hy wil verander.
Marais word Vrydag om 11:00 uit die AGS-kerk op Stilbaai begrawe. Sy moord blyk ’n raaisel te wees, want talle inwoners van Jongensbaai het te kenne gegee het dat hulle “niks gedurende die nag (Saterdag) gehoor” het nie, het Die Burger verneem.
