Crime has made SA a war zone
SOUTH Africa’s violent crime is fuelling an epidemic of the psychological disorders usually found in war zones.
Psychiatrist David Shevel, testifying in a legal action brought by assault victim Alix Carmichele, told the Cape High Court yesterday: “South Africa is probably the world capital of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).”
Shevel said Carmichele, who was savagely beaten while house-sitting near Knysna 12 years ago, would bear the mental scars for the rest of her life.
“She is far more susceptible to stress since the assault,” he said. “She would be able to cope in a low-stress environment, but life isn’t like that.”
Carmichele, a freelance photographer, is suing the ministers of justice, and of safety and security, for R4.62-million. The government was found to be liable for the assault in another judgment.
She was attacked by a man who was out on bail despite being charged with violent crimes.
The state is contesting the damages claim, accusing Carmichele of exaggerating her pain and suffering.
Shevel said Carmichele had shown symptoms of PTSD, such as anxiety and depression, for more than 10 years and would never fully recover.
She would need psychotherapy and anti- depressant medication for the rest of her life . He said she could not function as a photographer as well as she had before the assault because she lacked confidence and avoided situations that might cause stress.
The protracted legal action itself was harming her mental well-being, he said.
Shevel said every psychiatrist and psychologist practising in South Africa had patients suffering from PTSD, which affected not only the victims of crime but also policemen who were constantly exposed to violence.

Heunis se aanvaller vandag gevonnis
GRAAFF-REINET. – Jeffrey Lottering (27), moordenaar van supt. Erika Heunis (36) van die polisie, hoor vandag wat sy lot is.
Hy is twee weke gelede skuldig bevind op aanklagte van moord, verkragting en roof en is vir sielkundige waarneming gestuur.
Die ondersoekbeampte in die saak, insp. Flippie Meyer, sê regter Piet van der Bijl sal Lottering vandag in die rondgaande hooggeregshof hier vonnis. Van der Bijl het vroeër aangedui dat die vonnis vir beide verkragting en moord lewenslange tronkstraf kan wees.
Heunis is in Januarie vermoor toe sy en studente aan die Polisie-akademie, waar sy ’n instrukteur was, langs Mountainviewrylaan gaan draf het. Soos elke ander oggend het sy verder gedraf toe die studente omgedraai het.
Haar halfnaakte lyk is ’n paar uur later in die bosse gevind.
’n Nadoodse ondersoek deur dr. Willem van der Walt van Middelburg het getoon dat Heunis gesterf het aan bloedverlies en ’n gebreekte nek. Sy het verder ’n reuse-sny aan die nek en verskeie wonde aan haar liggaam gehad. Haar linkerwangbeen is gebreek. Die ondersoek het ook getoon dat sy verkrag is.
Die polisie het Lottering slegs drie uur ná die ontdekking van haar lyk aangekeer. In sy kamer het hulle Heunis se bril en drafskoene ter waarde van sowat R3 000 gevind.
Lottering het drie weke gelede, met die aanvang van sy verhoor, onskuldig gepleit op al drie aanklagte.
In sy verklarings en getuienis het hy vyf verskillende weergawes vertel. Sy verskoning hiervoor is dat hy “sy gedagtes nie lekker vang nie”.
In een van dié weergawes het ’n emosionele Lottering in die hof skuld op Heunis se moord erken. Hy het gesê hy het haar al ’n paar keer daar sien hardloop en haar toe voorgelê.
Hy het ’n broodmes uit sy huis geneem, aangesien hy van plan was om ’n huis te beroof.
Met dié mes het hy Heunis in die nek gesteek en ’n slagaar raakgesteek.
Lottering is al drie keer skuldig bevind op klagtes van huisbraak.

Robert Robertson sterf in Milnerton
KAAPSTAD. – ’n Bekende kerkleier en anti-apartheidsaktivis, eerw. Robert Robertson (81), is Saterdagoggend op slag dood toe hy deur ’n motor raakgery is onderwyl hy gedraf het.
Die ongeluk het kort voor 09:00 op Otto du Plessis-rylaan in Milnerton, naby sy woonstel, plaasgevind.
Volgens sy vrou, mev. Gertrude Robertson, het haar man gereeld daar gaan draf. Hy wou die straat oorsteek toe hy raakgery is.
“Sy dood het nog nie by my ingesink nie,” het sy aan Die Burger gesê. Hulle was 54 jaar getroud en het drie kinders en vier kleinkinders.
Robertson het Sondagskool by die Rondebosch Verenigde Kerk gehou. “Hy het die kinders geleer toi-toi,” het sy dogter me. Pam Robertson geskerts. “My pa was uitbundig, altyd gereed vir ’n geveg en ’n harde werker.”
Die predikant van die gemeente, eerw. Robert Steiner, het gesê Robertson was nooit bang om sy mening te lug nie. “Hy het ’n sterk sin vir regverdigheid gehad,” het Steiner onthou.
Robertson was ’n elektriese ingenieur van beroep, maar het veral bekendheid verwerf vanweë sy betrokkenheid by kerksake. In die 1960’s het hy vir nie-rassigheid in kerke gestry. Onder sy leierskap was die Presbiteriaanse gemeente in Oos-Londen in 1962 een van die eerste gemeentes om sy deure vir alle rasse oop te gooi.
St. Anthony in Pageview in Johannesburg, nóg een van die nie-rassige kerke waarvoor hy hom beywer het, het in die 1970’s ook die leiding geneem vir die totstandkoming van ’n nie-rassige gemeenskap, soortgelyk aan dié van Distrik Ses. Dit was ook ’n eerste.
In 1979 het Robertson ses weke lank saam met ’n uitgesette Indiese familie op ’n sypaadjie in Mayfair deurgebring uit verset teen die Groepsgebiedewet.
Hy het ook die Suid-Afrikaanse Presbiteriaanse Kerk oorreed om standpunt teen die verbod op gemengde huwelike in te neem.
’n Gedenkdiens vir Robertson word Donderdag in die Rondebosch Verenigde Kerk gehou. Die verassing vir ná die diens plaas.
. ’n Fietsryer van Parow is gisteroggend dood nadat hy deur ’n voertuig in Marine-rylaan in Milnerton getref is, berig Ilse Fredericks en Karen Ebersohn.
Supt. André Traut, ’n polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê die bestuurder van die voertuig het weggery nadat mnr. Simon Frederik Streicher (54) van Sonnedouslot 9, Plattekloof, raakgery is.
Sy vrou, Petro, het bekommerd geraak toe hy ná ’n geruime tyd nie teruggekeer het huis toe nie, en hom gaan soek. Sy het op die ongelukstoneel afgekom waar die polisie reeds teenwoordig was. Haar man was toe reeds dood.
Mev. Elretha Britz, suster van die oorledene, sê hoewel dit nog nie bekend is wat presies gebeur het nie, word vermoed dat hy deur ’n vragmotor raakgery is.
Streicher word naas sy vrou en suster oorleef deur drie kinders, Simon, Franz-Erich en Anke. Geen begrafnisreëlings is nog getref nie.
Volgens Traut word ’n saak van strafbare manslag ondersoek. Enigiemand met inligting word versoek om die Milnerton-polisiekantoor by 021 528 3800 of Stop Misdaad by 08600 10111 te bel.

Speurder van Bfn soek ook na vermiste tiener
MNR. LEON ROSSOUW, ’n bekende Bloemfonteinse selfoonspeurder, se hulp is ingeroep om die vermiste tiener van Orania, Chantellyn Janse van Rensburg (15), te help opspoor.
Chantellyn word nou reeds agt dae vermis nadat sy nie verlede week van haar skoolvakansie by haar ma, mev. Elsabé Steenberg, op Nylstroom teruggekeer het nie.
Mev. Steenberg het haar verlede Sondag na Pretoria gebring waar sy per bus na Hopetown (naby Orania) vertrek het.
Chantellyn se pa, mnr. Koos Janse van Rensburg, het op Hopetown vir haar gewag, maar sy was nie op die bus nie. Die busbestuurder het gesê sy het in Johannesburg van die bus afgeklim. Die vermoede bestaan dat sy iemand op MXit, ’n gratis kitsboodskapdiens vir selfone en rekenaars, ontmoet het. Dit is nie bekend of sy onder dwang of vrywillig van die bus afgeklim het nie.
Rossouw het gesê hy wil so gou moontlik enige inligting oor Chantellyn opvolg. “Ek glo dit is belangrik om leidrade op te volg so vinnig as wat mens kan. In só ’n saak kan dinge gou verander.” Rossouw het gesê enige leidrade moet nagegaan word.
“Die moontlkheid bestaan dat geen misdaad betrokke is nie.”
Hy het gesê hy hanteer Chantellyn se verdwyning as baie ernstig.
“ ’n Mens kan dit nie net as stoutigheid afskryf nie. Elke beskikbare hulpbron moet gebruik word om haar op te spoor.”
Rossouw het gesê daar is ’n toename in die getal kinders wat wegloop nadat hulle iemand in ’n selfoon-kletskamer ontmoet het.
Hannelie Grabie (17) van Ermelo is Vrydagaand in Nelspruit opgespoor nadat sy Woensdag vermis geraak het. Sy het ’n ouer man in die kletskamer van MXit ontmoet en na hom toe weggeloop.
Nóg ’n meisie, Catherine Dormehl (15) van Standerton, word reeds twee maande lank vermis. Sy het vermoedelik ook ’n man in ’n selfoon-kletskamer ontmoet.
Mnr. Janse van Rensburg het gesê die familie is dankbaar oor almal wat by die soektog betrokke raak.
“Dit is moeilik vir ons. Ons vra vrae, maar kry geen antwoorde nie. Ons probeer om positief te bly en op ons geloof staat te maak. Maar ons is realisties en weet die wêreld buite is vol boosheid.”
Hy het gesê hy is oortuig Chantellyn het iemand in die selfoon-kletskamer ontmoet. “Niks anders maak sin nie. Sy sou vir my gesê het as iets anders fout was.”

Teen disappears after MXit chat
Bloemfontein - Leon Rossouw, a well-known Bloemfontein cellphone detective, has been asked to help look for a missing teenager from Orania, Chantellyn Janse van Rensburg, 15.
Janse van Rensburg has been missing for eight days, after failing to return last week from spending the school holidays in Nylstroom with her mother, Elsabé Steenberg.
Steenberg took her to Pretoria last week where she left for Hopetown (near Orania) by bus on Sunday.
Janse van Rensburg's father Koos, waited at Hopetown for her, but she was not on the bus. The bus driver said she had left the bus in Johannesburg. It was suspected that she met someone on MXit, a free instant message cellphone and computer service. It was not known whether she left the bus willingly or by force.
World is full of evil
Rossouw said he wanted to follow up any information on Janse van Rensburg as soon as possible. "I believe it is important that clues should be followed up as quickly as possible. In a case such as this circumstances can change quickly."
"There is a possibility that there is no crime involved."
He said he regarded Janse van Rensburg's disappearance as very serious.
"One cannot simply write this off as naughtiness. Every available resource must be used to trace her."
Rossouw said there was an increase in the number of children running off after meeting someone in a cellphone chatroom.
Hannelie Grabie, 17, from Ermelo was traced to Nelspruit on Friday night after she went missing on Wednesday. She met an older man in the MXit chatroom and ran off to him.
Another girl, Catherine Dormehl, 15, from Standerton has already been missing for two months. She presumably also met a man in a cellphone chatroom.
Janse van Rensburg's father said the family was grateful towards everyone who was involved in the search.
"We are finding it difficult. There are no answers to our questions. We are trying to remain positive and are relying on our faith, but we are realistic and know the world out there is full of evil."
He was convinced that his daughter met someone in the cellphone chatroom. "Nothing else makes sense. She would have told me if there was anything else wrong."

Man hurt as he defends cousins
Bloemfontein - A man with serious stab wounds was admitted to the Pelonomi Hospital after he protected his cousins from attackers.
Bruce Vermeulen, 30, and Natasha, 25, and Yolandé, 22, all of Bloemfontein, walked to Natasha's car in Kellner Street in the early hours of Saturday morning after an evening at the Oolong Lounge.
Natasha was sitting in the passenger seat and Yolandé in the back seat when an unknown man tried to open the passenger door.
Vermeulen, who was paying the car guard and was still standing outside the car on the driver's side, saw two men trying to force themselves into the car.
He ran to the other side of the car and pulled one of the men away from the car.
In the meantime the other attacker had tried to get into the car on the driver's side.
Vermeulen went to pull him away too.
"Then they were all over me"
Vermeulen and the attackers fought and wrestled.
He smacked the car at one stage and shouted at Natasha, "Go Tashé go!"
The attackers ran away and Vermeulen only then realised that he had been stabbed with a knife.
He was cut on his left hand and was stabbed in his back and in his left side.
He said that nothing had been stolen from the car.
Vermeulen suspected that the attackers had wanted to hijack the car.
Natasha rushed her cousin to the National District Hospital in Bloemfontein.
He was treated and later taken to the Pelonomi Hospital where he was still recovering.
Natasha said she was very grateful for her cousin's bravery.
"If you want to hang out somewhere, you have to do it at home," she said.

Two Ironman contestants forced to flee from thugs in Victoria Drive
TWO Ironman contestants ran for their lives after they were ambushed and robbed of a bicycle and valuables on Victoria Drive early on Saturday.
Development cycling coach Marius Dobson, 40, chairman of Port Elizabeth's Club 100 Cycling Club, and his George-based student, Raynard Sims, 18, were en route to compete in the MTN Corporate Challenge when they were surrounded by eight knife-wielding robbers just as they crossed the railway line in Victoria Drive, Walmer.
“I saw someone running at speed down the hill towards us,” said Dobson, who lives in Lorraine. As the man moved closer he noticed a knife in his hand.
“I told Raynard to go as I saw trouble coming,” he said. In the attempt to flee, Dobson fell off his bicycle and landed on the tarmac. “I got up and picked up my bike and saw the knifeman come towards me.”
In a frantic attempt to keep the attacker at bay, Dobson hit him with his bicycle.
“As I was trying to get away another guy came running at me with a panga,” he said. “I threw my belongings on the ground hoping he would take it and go,” Dobson said.
As one attacker went for the bag on the ground, Dobson threw his bicycle at him, buying time to take his cycling shoes off and attempt to escape.
When he turned to flee he saw six more attackers attempting to surround him.
“I ran towards Raynard – who was still on his bike – and we both made our way to the Walmer Country Club to try get help,” he said.
The robbers started chasing them down the road. “We got to Walmer Country Club, but no one was there and the door was locked,” he said.
In the frantic rush for help Dobson kicked down the door.
Realising no one was in the building, they started screaming and shouting in an attempt to make the thugs weary of pursing them further. “By this time Raynard got his cellphone out and called the police,” Dobson said. “The woman who answered told us that because we couldn‘t give a street name she wouldn‘t send help.”
Police eventually arrived half an hour afterwards. “What would have happened if they caught and killed us?” Dobson asked.
He was just happy that they both escaped the ordeal with their lives, he said.
However, due to this incident Dobson, a 12-year veteran cyclist, says that “the flame” has now gone. “I had a real passion for cycling but now it is gone,” he said.
He said this was not like a normal robbery when someone took items and fled. “They took our valuables and still carried on attacking us.”
Dobson estimated the total loss at about R55000, with his bike alone costing in the region of R40000.
Sims and Dobson have both gone for counselling, the incident having left them fearful of cycling on Bay roads.
Police spokesman Hazel Mqala said she was looking into the incident, although she could find no record of it.

Verdagte op foto vas danksy leser, Beeld
’n Beeld-leser moes eers ’n uitgawe van Beeld onder die polisie se neuse hou voordat hulle oortuig was dat ’n dief wat hy ’n ruk lank agtervolg het, wel ’n gesoekte verdagte is.
Mnr. Edward Smit (27) van Pretoria-Noord het Saterdagmiddag die polisie gehelp om ’n dief aan te keer wat mev. Natalie van der Schyff (29) van Waterval, noord van Pretoria, se handsak met R23 000 daarin gesteel het.
Dié diefstal is op kringtelevisie by Cassies Motors-vulstasie in Pretoria-Noord vasgelê.
Verlede week het Beeld foto’s van die man gepubliseer waar hy by Van der Schyff se bakkie inbreek en haar handsak steel.
Smit sê hy het in Ben Viljoenstraat gedraai toe die dief verby hom gery het.
“Ek het dadelik die Ford Laser herken en toe ek so kyk, toe sê ek vir myself dit is mos die dief wat in Beeld was.”
Smit het dadelik die polisie gebel terwyl hy die man op ’n veilige afstand agtervolg het. Die man het op die hoek van Gerrit Maritz-weg en Eeufeesstraat gestop en by ’n winkel ingestap.
“Ek het ’n ent van hom af stilgehou en die polisie gebel.”
Hy het egter geen onmiddellike reaksie van hulle gekry nie.
“Ná ’n lang gesukkel het ek gevra om met kapt. Prince Mokhabela, die polisiewoordvoerder, te praat. Hy het ná sowat 20 min. by my aangesluit.”
Maar die senior polisiebeampte wou ook nie dadelik optree nie.
“Hy wou eers weet hoe seker is ek dit ís die dief. Toe sê ek vir hom hy moet die man dophou terwyl ek gou huis toe ry om daai Beeld te gaan haal. Toe ek terugkom, was daar nog twee polisiebeamptes by. Nadat hulle die man se foto in die koerant gesien het, het hulle hom ’n ent verder in Gerrit Maritz-weg gearresteer.”
Smit het Van der Schyff met Beeld se hulp gekontak en van die man se inhegtenisneming vertel. Sy het dadelik die polisie gebel, wat dit bevestig het.
“Volgens die polisie het die man gesê hy het net R6 000 by my gesteel en dat dit saam met my selfoon in ’n swart plastiek sak was en nie in my handsak nie,” vertel sy.
“Ek weet ek gaan nie die geld en goed wat hy gesteel het, terugkry nie, maar ek is verlig dat hy vas is.”
Mokhabela het bevestig die man is met Smit se hulp gearresteer en gesê hy sal vandag in die hof verskyn.

Moedelose boere stuur hul families weg, verdedig plase
Plaasbesettings in Zimbabwe se vernaamste landbougebiede wat nog oeste oplewer, het die afgelope week soos ’n veldbrand toegeneem.
Moedelose boere het hul families veiligheidshalwe na nabygeleë dorpe gestuur terwyl hulle hul plase teen jambanjas (gewelddadige besettings) verdedig het.
Uit e-posse om kontak met mekaar te behou, blyk dit dat die eerste voorval verlede Saterdag op mnr. John Borland se plaas by Masvingo in die suidooste van die land begin het.
Sowat 25 “oorlogsveterane” het die afgelope week herhaaldelik geëis hy moet vir hom ’n tas pak en die implemente en beeste “as vergoeding” agterlaat.
Ná herhaaldelike versoeke het die polisie ’n polisiebus gestuur om die besetters van die plaas te gaan verwyder.
Agt boere in die Masvingo-distrik het onder soortgelyke voorvalle deurgeloop.
Luidens van die e-posse in Beeld se besit is nagenoeg 110 plase beset, maar net 20 eienaars het die plase verlaat.
Twee plase se geboue is heeltemal verwoes, terwyl ’n boer (76) in die Chipenge-gebied ’n dag lank ontvoer is.
Hy is later vrygelaat.
Die boere se penarie word vererger deurdat krag- en telefoonverbindings wat buite werking is in sekere gebiede kommunikasie met die buitewêreld onmoontlik maak.
Volgens een boer werf die “veterane” die afgelope week plaaswerkers onder die voorwendsel dat pres. Robert Mugabe steeds aan die bewind gaan bly.
Die “veterane” beweer glo ’n nuwe landbouwet gaan eersdaags deurgevoer word om op alle oorblywende plase, diere en implemente beslag te lê en werkers sal daarby “baat”.
’n Groep besetters het mnr. Graham Richards en sy familie van sy plaas verjaag, terwyl Pa Nyanda Lodge, hul vakansieoord, ook beset is.
Hulle het skuiling in Masvingo, die dorp, gaan soek.
’n Groep het ook mnr. Chris Diedericks gedreig, maar hy en sy familie is nog op hul plaas.
Die besettings volg ná bewerings dat 200 dienende senior weermagoffisiere in die onderskeie streke ingedeel is om die “veterane” aan te voer.
Lt.genl. P.V. Sibanda voer glo die operasie aan met genl.maj. Nick Dube se hulp.
Na wat vasgestel kon word, het elkeen van dié 200 sedert 2000 by die herverdeling van plase gebaat.
Die boere bly mekaar maan om kalm te bly en nié aggressief op die besetters se uitlokking of dreigemente te reageer nie.
Mnr. John Makumbe, ’n politieke ontleder, het aan Sapa-AP gesê dié besettings is Mugabe se laaste troefkaart terwyl hy om politieke oorlewing veg.

Cops investigate abattoir murder
Northern Cape police were investigating the death of a young man whose body was found tied up by workers in an office at the M2M Abattoir in Jan Kempdorp on Monday.
Police spokesperson Captain Cherelle Ehlers said Pierre Olivier, 23, had been severely assaulted and it was suspected that he had died as a result of his injuries.
Ehlers said the victim was last seen on Saturday night.
"It was alleged that the deceased was paying wages at the M2M Abattoir in Jan Kempdorp between 11pm and 12am on Saturday."
'the workers only found the body of Olivier on Monday'
She said the workers only found the body of Olivier on Monday.
Investigators suspect that the perpetrators had gained entry through a window, which was found forced open.
Ehlers said an autopsy was scheduled to be conducted on Wednesday to determine the cause of death.
She said a substantial amount of money was stolen as well as several other items.
Ehlers urged anyone with information on the incident to contact investigating officer Inspector Fernando Luis of the Kimberley Organised Crime Unit at 082-302-0402.
