Moord op hoewe: Polisie is ‘traag’
Die ma van die vermoorde me. Daniëlle Lumsdale van Roodepoort wil hê “professionele en toegewyde polisielede” moet haar dogter se raaiselmoord oplos.
Lumsdale, ’n grafiese kunstenaar, is op 20 Oktober teen ’n heining op ’n hoewe in Muldersdrift aan die Wes-Rand gevind.
’n Stuk geskeurde materiaal was om haar nek en haar hande was in ’n gebalde vuis onder haar nek vasgeklem toe ’n tuinier haar lyk in ’n digte bos op ’n hoewe gevind het.
Sy het op 17 Oktober verdwyn nadat sy eers saam met mnr. Timothy Dreyer (31) na ’n motorfietsren in Midrand was en toe op mnr. Douw Coetzee (35) se hoewe in Muldersdrift gaan kuier het.
Albei is ondervra, maar vrygelaat hangende die uitslag van forensiese verslae. Die saak is nog nie op die hofrol van die Krugersdorp-hof nie.
Die oorsaak van Lumsdale se dood is, ondanks twee lykskouings, steeds onbekend.
Haar ma, Linda, het die Muldersdrift-polisiekantoor van traagheid beskuldig. Vyf weke nadat sy gevind is, is die klere wat Lumsdale aangehad het glo steeds nie vir forensiese ondersoeke gestuur nie.
Konst. R.S. Khuto, ondersoekbeampte, het mev. Lumsdale se skoonseun, mnr. Daniël Steed, glo afgejak, gevra om “op te hou bel” en gesê hy sal die familie self op die hoogte van die ondersoek hou.
Tot vandag toe het sy geen oproep van die polisie daaroor ontvang nie, het mev. Lumsdale gesê.
Geen verklarings is ook van haar, familie en vriende geneem oor hoe die polisie en familie glo tydens die soektog na haar dogter mislei is nie.
Mev. Lumsdale oorweeg dit om klagte by komm. Perumal Naidoo, Gautengse polisiehoof, en die Onafhanklike Klagtedirektoraat in te dien.

Swangerskap red dowe vrou se lewe
Secunda. – ’n Dowe vrou van die dorp het waarskynlik haar lewe daaraan te danke dat sy swanger is.
“Oukei, ons sal jou nie doodskiet nie,” het ’n rower wat mev. Liezel Potgieter (27) en haar gesin eergisteraand in hul huis in Langkloofstraat oorval het, gesê toe hulle hoor sy is swanger.
Haar swangerskap het die rowers egter nie gekeer om haar en haar man, Jaco (28), en hul tweejarige seuntjie, PF, in die
reën, koue en donker langs ’n pad af te laai nie.
Mnr. Potgieter, ’n operasionele bestuurder in materiaalbestuur by Sasol, het omstreeks 20:00 uitgegaan om hul bakkie te bêre toe ses gewapende rowers hom oorval het.
“Ek het gesê hulle moet die bakkie vat, maar een het geantwoord dat hulle hier is om die televisie en al die ander goed ook te vat,” het hy gesê.
Hulle het sy hande vasgebind en hom toe by die huis ingedwing waar sy vrou, wat 20 weke swanger is, en PF ’n DVD gekyk het.
Twee rowers het mev. Potgieter se hande met ’n handdoek vasgedraai en die egpaar se voete met rekenaarkabels vasgebind.
PF het nie verstaan wat gebeur nie en hoewel die rowers hom by tye hardhandig behandel het, het hy vinnig op die bank agter sy ouers se rûe aan die slaap geraak terwyl die huis gestroop is.
“Hoekom is jou vrou se maag so groot?” het een van die rowers in ’n stadium aan mnr. Potgieter gevra. Hy het gesê sy is swanger en dat sy hulle nie kan hoor nie omdat sy doof is.
“Ai, dan sal ons julle nie kan doodskiet nie,” het ’n rower toe gesê.
Die rowers het die gesin in die voertuig ingeboender en omstreeks middernag in die reën en koue langs die N3-snelweg tussen Heidelberg en Vosloorus afgelaai.
’n Rower het saam met die gesin uitgeklim en hulle byna twee uur lank in die bosse aangehou.
Hy het hulle opdrag gegee om plat te lê toe sy makkers hom later opgelaai het.
Die Potgieters het kaalvoet in die donker langs die snelweg aangestap en hulp by die Petroport gaan soek.
“Sy en die baba is darem ongedeerd.”
Mev. Potgieter is sedert die geboorte van haar eersteling doof nadat sy tydens ’n keisersnee bakteriële meningitis opgedoen het.
Volgens kapt. Busaphi Sibanyoni, polisiewoordvoerder, is die gesin se voertuig later in Vosloorus teruggevind.

Moord: Vrou het man verdink
Die vermoorde me. Cordelia Prinsloo (56) van Pretoria het glo aan haar prokureur gesê dat as sy iets sou oorkom, daar sekere getuienis teen haar eksman sou wees.
Dit blyk uit ’n argument van die nasionale vervolgingsgesag wat gisteraand in die hooggeregshof in Pretoria gelewer is toe die gewese man, mnr. Cobus Prinsloo, waarnemende regter Roelof du Plessis by wyse van ’n interdik gevra het om vrygelaat te word. Prinsloo was glo in die aanhoudingselle.
Adv. Karla Germishuis, namens die vervolgingsgesag, wat die vrylating teengestaan het, het in die hof gesê daar is sprake dat die oorledene se prokureur die ondersoekbeampte gebel en gesê het die oorledene het gesê as sy iets sou oorkom, is daar sekere getuienis teen hom.
Die staat het aangevoer dit sal in belang van geregtigheid wees as Prinsloo, ’n geoloog, die naweek aangehou word sodat die ondersoekbeampte sekere persele, dossiere, gesinsgeweld-interdikte en kassette kan ondersoek.
Die regter het kort ná 20:00 beveel dat Prinsloo ontset en vrygelaat moet word onderhewig aan sekere voorwaardes.
Die voorwaardes is dat hy ná sy vrylating in sy huis in Flangestraat, Montanapark, woon, van gisteraand tot Maandag wanneer hy om 08:00 by die Pretoria-Noord-landdroshof moet aanmeld. Hy mag geensins na die hoewe van sy gewese vrou noord van Pretoria gaan nie.
Hy mag ook geen kontak met sy huiswerker, by wie die vervolgingsgesag reeds ’n verklaring bekom het, of ander staatsgetuies maak nie.
Die hof het gelas dat die ondersoekbeampte enige tyd, in die teenwoordigheid van die verdagte se prokureur, toegang tot die betrokke persele kan kry vir ondersoekwerk.
Hy mag tot Maandag met geen ander mense as sy twee kinders, die ondersoekbeampte en sy regsverteenwoordigers kontak maak nie.
Du Plessis het gesê hy sal later redes vir sy bevele gee.
Daarin sal die geskiedenis van aanhouding sonder verhoor in Suid-Afrika belig word.
“Die reg op vryheid in die Grondwet moet jaloers toegepas en beskerm word.
“Dit word al te maklik verontagsaam in ons land.”
Die regter het gesê hy respekteer die werk van die vervolgingsgesag en die polisie, maar mense se vryheid moet ook gerespekteer word.
Du Plessis het gesê ’n persoon het die reg om binne 48 uur ná arrestasie ’n borgtogaansoek te kan bring. Hy het gesê die ondersoekbeampte kon reeds die betrokke persele deurgesoek het.
Die verdagte het onomwonde duidelik die reg op vrylating.
Du Plessis het ook die vervolgingsgesag se aansoek om verlof op appèl teen sy bevele van die hand gewys.

Rooftog by juwelier ‘binne 2 minute verby’
Die tweede keer in minder as ’n maand het misdadigers op die Eastern Pearl-juwelierswinkel in Menlyn Retail Park, in die ooste van Pretoria, toegeslaan.
Die drie takke van dié juwelierswinkel in Pretoria het sowat R1,5miljoen se skade gely nadat hulle vyf keer die afgelope 2½ maande besteel of beroof is, het me. Michelle Rodrigues, eienaar, eergister gesê.
Dié skade sluit nie belasting of herstelkoste, wat ná die misdade bestee moes word, in nie.
Die ander takke is by The Grove- en Woodlands Boulevard-winkelsentrum.
Rodrigues het eergisteroggend omstreeks 02:00 ’n oproep van ’n veiligheidsmaatskappy gekry dat daar by haar winkel by die Menlyn Retail Park ingebreek is.
“’n Mens kan op die videomateriaal sien hoe twee mans sowat 10 minute buite die winkel staan,” het Rodrigues oor eergister se inbraak gesê.
“Hulle het toe die een venster met ’n hamer geslaan, maar dit het nie gebreek nie.
“Die tweede venster wat hulle geslaan het, het gebreek.
“Een man het in die winkel ingekom en ’n vertoonkas met die hamer stukkend geslaan.
“Hy het silwerkettings en -armbande gesteel. Hulle het ook die Buren-horlosies wat in die vertoonvenster was, gesteel.
“Dit was binne twee minute verby.”
Dié voorval kom minder as ’n maand nadat twee groepe gewapende rowers op dié juwelierswinkel en ’n Nedbank-tak toegeslaan het. Verskeie juwelierware is tydens dié rooftog gebuit. Een rower is ná die rooftog geskiet en nog sewe is vasgetrek.
Ná die voorvalle, moet Rodrigues nou ekstra veiligheidsmaatreëls by haar winkels aanbring, wat haar R250.000 per winkel uit die sak gaan jaag.
“Ek dink nie ons winkels is spesifiek ’n teiken vir misdadigers nie, maar juwelierswinkels is beslis ’n makliker teiken vir misdadigers. Dit is maklik om van die juwele ontslae te raak,” het Rodrigues gesê.
“Daarby het die misdaad heeltemal handuit geruk.”
Dir. André Wiese, stasiebevelvoerder van die Brooklyn-polisiekantoor, het gesê ’n saak van inbraak by ’n onderneming word ondersoek.
Enigiemand met inligting rakende die voorval kan insp. Douglas Sekele, ondersoekbeampte, by 082 319 9647 bel.

Woman’s ‘saviour’ up for daughter’s abuse
A MAN once hailed as a “saviour” for rescuing a young East London woman from her abusive family has been dubbed a monster after being arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting his baby daughter.
The man, who may not be named to protect the identity of the two-year-old child he and the woman he “rescued” seven years ago had together, is facing charges of sexual assault and is out on R1000 bail.
The estranged couple made headlines in 2002 when the man helped her escape from her family, whom she claimed had physically and mentally abused her.
But in an ironic twist, the same family, including her mother, grandmother and the younger brother she laid charges against for allegedly assaulting her with sjamboks and a broomstick when she tried to leave home at the age of 18, are now her refuge.
She and her little girl moved back into the modest Amalinda home after she fled from the lover she allegedly caught red- handed sexually abusing their daughter.
In an interview with Weekend Post this week, the woman described how a “gut feeling” made her sneak up on the father of their baby daughter in March this year, only to find him molesting her.
The woman, 25, who may also not be named to protect the identity of her child, told of the revulsion she felt when she found her boyfriend of eight years sexually violating his own child on two more occasions this year. Now two, she was just 16 months old at the time of the alleged first incident.
The East London mother finally laid charges of rape and sexual assault against the man on July 23 and he was arrested on October 21. He was freed on bail on November 2.
She said the 36-year-old accused had also started beating her shortly after she moved into his Berea garden flat seven years ago.
“At first he made me feel special and we got engaged. He looked after me and cooked for me because I worked long hours ... but then he started beating me and choking me for stupid reasons. He took his anger out on me – even when I was pregnant.”
But nothing prepared her for the explicit child pornography she found on his computer when their daughter was four months old. “We were living in Chintsa at the time and something made me ... check his computer. I found photographs of child pornography. It made me feel sick because he had downloaded pictures of babies aged four to six months old that had been raped.”
The woman said she immediately phoned his mother. “But his mother said he would never harm his daughter and when I confronted him he said the child porn had been sent to him by a friend.”
Ten months later, in March this year, the mother’s worst nightmares came true when she allegedly caught her fiancé abusing their little girl.
“He said he would look after her while I ate my supper, but something made me sneak up on him because it was very quiet. I walked quietly to her bedroom which also had his computer in it. I saw him abusing her. There was child porn on the computer. I grabbed her and screamed: ‘What the f*** are you doing to her? This is your own daughter!’ He said he had to find satisfaction somewhere because I did not satisfy him.”
The woman said she could not leave because she was unemployed and had nowhere to go since he had stopped her seeing her family. She said although she tried to keep her little girl with her at all times after she witnessed the abuse, she had caught her fiancé putting the child’s hand on his exposed private parts days later.
“I grabbed her away again and I took her everywhere with me, but a few days later she ran to him after her bath while I was getting her clothes. When I went into her room, he had put her on his computer chair and was touching her private parts.
“His excuse was that it looked like there was something wrong with them and he was just checking.”
She said she now wanted to make “a fresh start”, to find a job and be independent. “I hope they lock him up and throw away the key. If a man can do this to his own child, surely he will do it to others?
“But my little girl is safe and happy now and my family is getting on. She is my bundle of joy, my life and the reason I carry on.”
A police source close to the investigation said the accused was yet to plead, but had “emphatically denied” the charges.
The man appeared in the Komga Magistrate’s Court yesterday where the case was postponed until January.
PE psychologist Dr Dolf Muller said there was something “very wrong” with a person who sexually abused babies.
“In my experience you are born a paedophile and die a paedophile.”
Masimanyane Women’s Support Centre director Lesley-Ann Foster said the problem of fathers raping their own babies and toddlers was global and “far worse than we think”.
“Although there are no statistics, we know there are a lot of fathers in the Eastern Cape who are raping their babies.
“Babies can’t talk so unless they are caught in the act, no one knows about it.”

‘Forgiveness for Lyndi’s death way to freedom’ (video)
GINN Fourie, who formed a partnership with the man who ordered her daughter’s death in December 1993, was in Port Elizabeth at the weekend as a special guest panellist at the End Conscription Campaign’s (ECC) 25th anniversary celebrations.
Fourie’s daughter Lyndi, 23, was gunned down and killed on December 30, 1993, in the Heidelberg Tavern massacre in Observatory, Cape Town. The attack was carried out by the Azanian People’s Liberation Army (Apla), the military wing of the Pan African Congress.
Letlapa Mphahlele, former commander of Apla, had orchestrated the shooting as well as the St James Church massacre the same year. There were 11 people killed and 58 wounded during the church shooting, while three people, including Lyndi Fourie, were killed in the tavern attack.
Ginn Fourie said she had decided to forgive Mphahlele after meeting and talking to him.
“Forgiveness is so important because it frees you from being a victim,” she said at the Red Location Museum in New Brighton, where she attended the ECC celebrations on Saturday.
Fourie said nine years after Lyndi’s death, she had heard Mphahlele would be at his book launch in Cape Town. She had been working at the University of Cape Town but rearranged her schedule to attend the event.
She challenged him about not participating in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
“He said he could understand why people might think this, but from his perspective the TRC had trivialised the fact that Apla was fighting a just war and why, while his soldiers were being held in prison, had the apartheid defence forces been spared.”
Fourie said Mphahlele invited her to his homecoming ceremony in Limpopo where he asked her to deliver a speech. The pair then set up the Lyndi Fourie Foundation, which deals with the challenges of poverty and ex-combatant anger.
“Letlapa also wrote the most beautiful poem for Lyndi ... He really is a man of integrity.”
She said she had only come into contact with the ECC a month ago, but she was interested in becoming more involved.
Fourie said she was still very much involved with the foundation and working on equality matters.

Rape, murder trial of ex-Matie next year
FORMER Stellenbosch University student Jacobus Eksteen, accused of raping and killing fellow student Erin van Rensburg of Mossel Bay, is to go on trial in the Cape High Court next year.
Eksteen, 24, made his final appearance in the Stellenbosch Magistrate’s Court on Friday, when magistrate Anita Potgieter told him his trial was scheduled for May 17.
Eksteen, who was in his final year of studies for a BCom, faces five charges: kidnapping, aggravated robbery, two counts of rape and one of murder.
Eksteen and his defence team were handed copies of the High Court indictment and a summary of the essential facts of the case.
Dressed neatly in a black suit, white shirt and black-striped tie, Eksteen was calm and seemed resigned to his fate.
At the request of prosecutor Samantha Raphaels of the Western Cape Directorate for Public Prosecutions, the magistrate ordered Eksteen’s transfer from Stellenbosch Prison to Pollsmoor Prison near Cape Town.
Defence counsel Sakkie Maartens asked for Eksteen to remain in the Stellenbosch Prison on humanitarian grounds. He said Eksteen’s only contact with his family was through a brother living in Stellenbosch. Maartens said Eksteen also had family in Durbanville, while his parents lived in Upington.
Raphaels said it would be necessary for the investigating police officer to fetch Eksteen each day of his trial if he remained in Stellenbosch. She said the officer was to be a witness in the case. It was undesirable for him to have any contact with Eksteen once his trial started.
