Rowers skiet jong man voor winkel dood
BOTHAVILLE. – ’n Jong sekuriteitsman is gistermiddag hier koelbloedig voor ’n supermark op die dorp deur rowers doodgeskiet toe hy met die onderneming se geld op pad bank toe was.
Mnr. Jaco de Klerk, wat sy eie sekuriteitsonderneming op die dorp bedryf en onder meer vir ondernemings hul geld gaan bank het, het nie eens kans gehad om terug te skiet nie.
Mnr. Crawford von Abo, eienaar van die Bothaville Spar, sê De Klerk stop gewoonlik agter die supermark om die geld op te laai, maar het gister reg voor die deur in die straat stilgehou omdat dit geweldig hard gereën het.
Hy sê ’n aansienlike bedrag geld is gebuit.
Dieselfde supermark is in November verlede jaar ook van ’n groot bedrag geld beroof toe dit op pad bank toe was. Daarna is besluit om De Klerk se dienste te gebruik en hy is in Desember aangestel.
Klante wat in etenstyd in die supermark was toe die voorval plaasgevind het, sê hulle het eers gedink dit is klappers. Toe mense geskok en verskrik van buite na binne hardloop, het hulle besef wat gebeur het.
Volgens ’n ooggetuie het die rowers ná die skietery in Presidentstraat in die middedorp die trollie waarin die banksakke vasgegespe is agter in die bagasieruim van hul motor gelaai en daarmee weggejaag.
Daar was tussen vier en ses rowers en De Klerk is op kort afstand in die bors geskiet en is op die toneel dood.
Sy vrou, Margaret, moes behandeling teen skok kry nadat sy van haar man se dood in kennis gestel is. Die egpaar het twee klein kinders.

Vrou glo in nag ontvoer en ontvoer
UPINGTON. – ’n Vrou van hier het Saterdagnag ure van vrees deurgemaak toe sy na bewering in haar eie motor ontvoer is, die ontvoerder honderde kilometers gery en haar aangerand en glo twee keer verkrag het.
Die vrou se nagmerrie het na bewering eers geëindig ná ’n lang staptog deur die veld naby Kenhardt waar die ontvoerder haar afgelaai het.
Sy het gister aan Volksblad vertel hoe die man haar ontvoer het. Sy mag om regsredes nie geïdentifiseer word nie.
“Ek het omstreeks 22:00 in my motor agter die NG kerk Upington-Oos gewag op mense (in verband met haar werk). Ongelukkig het ek aan die slaap geraak.
“Die motordeur was gesluit, maar die venster was ’n entjie oop. Ek het wakker geword toe ek hoor die deur gaan oop, toe staan die knaap daar. Hy het my aangesê om na die passasierskant oor te skuif en hy het die stuurwiel gevat.
“Hy het uit die dorp op die pad na Askham gery en by die Noenieput-pad afgedraai. Ek het heeltyd mooigepraat, gesê ek sal vir hom werk reël as hy my net terugvat Upington toe.
“Hy het gesê sy enigste behoefte nou is seks. Omdat hy baie aggressief was, het ek my nie baie teengesit nie.
“Hy het daarna teruggery Upington toe. Ek het die nooddienste op Upington op my selfoon probeer bel, maar hy het toe my foon afgeneem. Ek het gesoebat hy moet my op Upington aflaai, maar hy het deurgery Keimoes toe.
“Op Keimoes wou hy nie stilhou nie en het besluit die Kaap is ’n beter opsie. Ons het toe op die grondpad na Kenhardt gery. Ek het probeer om die motor in die ry af te sluit, maar kon nie daarin slaag nie.
“Hy het al hoe meer aggressief geraak en hardhandig geraak en my geslaan.”
Naby Kenhardt het hy haar ’n tweede keer verkrag.
“Ek het vir hom gesê ons sal petrol op Kenhardt moet kry, in die hoop dat ek dan iemand se aandag kan trek.
“Hy het egter besluit dit is te gevaarlik om my die dorp in te vat. Hy het my so 3 km van die dorp af diep in die veld afgelaai. Hy het gesê hy sal my later kom haal.
“Heelwat later het ek gesien hoe hy langs die teerpad stop, maar hy ry toe weer.
“Ek het maar so sukkel-sukkel deur die veld aangestap. Ek het ’n paar keer geval en by tye op my knieë voortgeskuifel.”
Sy het die oggend omstreeks 05:30 uiteindelik by die Kenhardt-polisiekantoor aangekom.
’n Mediese ondersoek is Sondag gedoen en gister het haar huisdokter onder meer kalmeermiddels voorgeskryf. Sy beplan om ’n sielkundige te gaan spreek.
Sy het kneusplekke aan haar voete en bene opgedoen tydens die stappery in die veld, en ook in haar gesig en op haar bolyf waar die ontvoerder haar geslaan het.
“Ek weet ek moet nou daaraan werk om hom te vergewe, maar dit is maar moeilik,” het sy gesê.
Die motor is later sowat 12 km buite Upington op die Olifantshoek-pad gekry waar dit omgeslaan het. Die ontvoerder was nêrens te sien nie.
’n Taakspan is aangestel om na hom te soek, sê kapt. Jacques September, woordvoerder van die polisie op Upington.
Kontant van R2 400, twee selfone en ’n horlosie is gesteel. Klagte van menseroof, twee van verkragting, motorkaping en diefstal word ondersoek.

Diewe bars met bakkie tot in supermark
Drie vermeende inbrekers is gisteroggend in Bloemfontein op heter daad betrap nadat hulle met ’n gesteelde bakkie deur die deure van ’n supermark in Heidedal gebars en dit besteel het.
Kapt. Ina Scholtz, polisiewoordvoerder, sê die moontlikheid word ondersoek dat dit dieselfde groep mans is wat verlede week by dieselfde onderneming in ’n oor-en-weer-skietery met reaksiebeamptes van die Cross Roads-winkelsentrum betrokke was.
Mnr. Thinus Pretorius, bestuurder van die National Guards-veiligheidsmaatskappy in Bloemfontein, sê veiligheidswagte was gisteroggend besig om in samewerking met die polisie drie jong mans met ’n kruiwa vol vermoedelik gesteelde goedere in Hamilton aan te keer, toe hy van die inbraak in Heidedal hoor.
Pretorius sê toe hulle daar kom, het hulle die bakkie gekry waar dit in trurat deur die supermarkvensters gejaag het. Die vermeende inbrekers het die winkel geplunder en sigarette en ander artikels gevat.
Drie van die vermeende inbrekers is deur lede van die veiligheidsmaatskappy en die polisie aangekeer.
Scholtz sê van die gesteelde goedere, ter waarde van sowat R5 000, is teruggevind. Die bakkie is glo verlede naweek in die Parkweg-gebied gesteel. Volksblad verneem die skade beloop sowat R200 000.
Pretorius sê die vermeende inbrekers het by ses ondernemings in die Cross Roads-winkelsentrum skade aangerig.
Die drie mans, onderskeidelik 23, 26 en 27 jaar oud, sal môre in die Bloemfonteinse landdroshof verskyn.

Evander - A 56-year-old woman implicated in a botched hijacking has been remanded until her next court appearance on Wednesday.
Elizabeth Nsibande of Embalenhle, Extension 2 was arrested near Evander, Mpumalanga, on January 20 following the botched hijacking of a Toyota Hilux double cab.
Evander police spokesperson Constable Sibusiso Mbuli said the motorist was shot at when he approached a stop sign, but was able to speed off and alert security guards at a nearby mine.
"The security guards quickly called the police, but when our members arrived on the scene, the suspect had already disappeared," he said.
They tracked down Nsibande after a witness claimed to have seen her running into the veld.
"When we confronted her, we found a pistol in her handbag and arrested her," said Mbuli.
The pistol was sent for ballistic tests in Pretoria.
Mbuli said police were investigating whether she may have been involved in any other hijackings or house break-ins in the area.
Nsibande was not asked to plead to charges of attempted hijacking and possession of an unlicensed firearm when she appeared in the Evander Magistrate's Court on Friday.

Killing wife was 'thoughtless'
A father of three who brutally killed his wife by bludgeoning her with a spanner and plunging a knife into her throat and another into her back still cried bitterly about what had happened.
According to a social worker, Ockert Van den Bergh, 42, referred during their interviews to his "beautiful wife" and how much he loved her.
The social worker stated in a pre-sentencing report before the Pretoria High Court on Monday that Van den Bergh could still not believe that he had committed "this thoughtless deed".
Van den Bergh was in December convicted of the murder of his wife Christa - to whom he was married for 18 years - in 2005.
He claimed he could not be held accountable for killing her in their Sundra home near Delmas.
He was enraged because she told him to have a penis enlargement and because she confessed to having an affair.
But Acting Judge Peter Mabuse found that Van den Bergh had known perfectly well what he was doing when he attacked his wife.
He was subsequently convicted of the murder as well as the attempted murder of his eldest son, Jacques.
Van den Bergh, after killing is wife, turned on his sleeping son and hit him over the head with the same spanner with which he had bludgeoned his wife.
Van den Bergh said he did not want to kill his son but attacked him with the small side of the spanner because he wanted it to appear as if intruders were responsible for the attacks.
A weeping Van den Bergh earlier testified in detail how in August 2005, following an argument with his wife, he fetched two knives in the kitchen and a shifting spanner from the table and followed her to the bedroom.
He said he hit her on the head with the spanner as she entered the room and she fell on the bed and he kept on hitting her.
The enraged Van den Bergh then plunged one of the knives into her neck and the other into her back.
He said it was only after he switched on the light that he realised what he had done.
He tried to turn her on to her back to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but due to the knife in her back he could not.
He then pulled both the knives out of her body.
After hitting his son on the head he took the bleeding teenager to hospital, leaving his dead wife in the bed.
The wife's body was discovered later that afternoon by the police.
According to the social worker, Van den Bergh said he and his wife were happily married for most of the time and seldom argued.
He, however, realised two years prior to her death that she had become "cold" towards him and that she was "friendlier" towards other men.
Van den Bergh also claimed that his wife and children often made derogatory remarks towards him because he had a low intellect.
Family members said his wife was a soft and kind-hearted person who respected and supported her husband.
His three children told the social worker that they missed their mother dearly and that they had no wish to see their father again.
They added that they did not feel sorry for him as a result of him being in jail.
Van den Bergh told the social worker that he should not be sentenced to a jail term.
But it was recommended to the court that he does get a jail sentence.
It is expected that Van den Bergh will be sentenced on Wednesday

Cops leave no stones unturned
Police have stepped up their search for the two men who shot two Bothasig constables, both of whom are still in a critical condition in hospital.
Reservist constable Fadwa Brown, 21, and constable Johnathan Kriel, 24, were shot while on routine patrol in the early hours of Sunday.
Bothasig police station reservist co-ordinator, Dean Newman, said both officers were being treated in the ICU ward at the Milnerton Medi-Clinic.
Bothasig Community Policing Forum chair Robbie Upton said: "They're still critical but they're both stable. They both underwent surgery (on Sunday)."
The two officers had stopped two suspicious-looking men while on patrol in Elbrecht Street.
The men opened fire on them shooting Brown in the cheek and Kriel in the head and right shoulder.
The men then drove off in the police patrol vehicle, taking the officers' 9mm firearms with them.
The vehicle was later found abandoned on the N7 freeway, near Du Noon.
Police spokesperson Andre Traut said on Monday there were no new developments in the case.
The police's serious and violent crimes unit had taken up the case and were following up all leads, Newman said.
The investigation and search for the gunmen would continue.

A 20-year-old Joburg woman is being treated for severe head injuries after a smash-and-grabber threw a brick through the window of the car she was travelling in.
The incident occurred during the early hours of Sunday morning as Ashleigh Knowles and her friend, Ashley Ball, made their way home from a farewell party in Cresta.
And had it not been for the bravery of her 18-year-old friend, Ashley, who had the presence of mind to fight off the attacker, her injuries could have been worse, doctors have told her family.
It all happened at about 2.30am as the pair were heading home to Lonehill, north of Joburg.
As they approached the intersection of William Nicol Drive and Uranium Road, Ashley, who was driving, slowed down when all of a sudden the passenger window shattered. "It was a loud bang and sounded like a gunshot," Ashley said on Tuesday.
"I immediately pushed Ashleigh's head forward when out of nowhere this guy threw himself into the car and began feeling around the gear levers," she said.
Ashley, who only passed her driving test on Tuesday, said the adrenalin in her body kicked in. "I grabbed him by the back of his neck and began punching him in the face as hard as I could. I hit him a few times. Then while he was still in the car I put my foot down hard on the accelerator and pulled off. I saw his head hit the open part of the door and he fell back. Thank God I did not stall the car," she said.
As they were pulling away, Ashley said she noticed her friend's shirt was covered in blood.
"Ashleigh's eyes rolled into the back of her head and then she said 'I think I've been shot'. I just panicked and drove towards the first set of lights I saw which was at the Indaba Hotel. There were four or five cars pulling out and we asked them for help, but the people in the cars just drove off, telling us they were on their way home," she said.
Realising that her best friend's home was less than 1km away, they drove towards it from where Ashleigh's mother, Sally Knowles, rushed her to Life Fourways Hospital. Ashley injured her right hand from the punches she threw at their attacker.
It was only the next day when Ashley was cleaning the car that she discovered a brick, covered in cement at the back seat of the car.
Sally Knowles said doctors had to use 11 staples to stitch the back of Ashleigh's head.
"They discharged her the same night but on Monday she took a turn for the worst and the doctor admitted her into the ICU where she is being treated for severe concussion. They are just keeping her there for observation and will transfer her into the general ward in a day or two," she said.
Doctors told Knowles that had it not been for Ashley who pushed her friend's head forward at the time of the attack, the brick would have hit Ashleigh along her temple and caused a more serious injury.
"I am just angry by what has happened. The police should be doing much more along that route as it is very unsafe. I am just very grateful for what Ashley did; she is a real hero," Knowles said.
Douglasdale police spokesperson, Captain Douglas Prollip said police were stepping up patrols in the area.

Cops in 'raid of terror'
