Polisie doen glo niks toe 11-jarige sê sy is verkrag
’n Elfjarige verstandelik gestremde meisie van Lotus Gardens, in die weste van Pretoria, se verhaal oor haar beweerde verkragting is glo deur polisielede van Pretoria-Wes geïgnoreer.
Die kind is glo deur ’n inwoner van Wesfort, in dieselfde omgewing, in ’n motor verkrag, het me. Mariana Kriel van die Helpende Hand Fonds, ’n inisiatief van die vakbond Solidariteit, gesê.
“Hoewel die meisie haar weergawe van gebeure in besonderhede aan ’n vrou van Wesfort vertel het, is die saak nie opgevolg nie.”
Volgens Kriel is ’n klag eers drie dae ná die beweerde voorval ingedien.
Lede van die fonds was Vrydag op ’n besoek aan die woonbuurt toe die kind daar aangekom en vir ’n vrou wat sy ken van die beweerde voorval vertel het.
Die Helpende Hand Fonds het later weer navraag oor die voorval gedoen en gevind die polisie het nie ’n saak geopen nie.
Die meisie se aantygings is as onwaar afgemaak en die polisie het nie ondersoek ingestel nie, het Kriel gesê.
Die fonds het gister ’n klag van ernstige wangedrag en pligsversuim by die onafhanklike klagtedirektoraat (OKD) teen die Pretoria-Wes-polisie ingedien.
Verklarings van die kind, sowel as die vrou aan wie sy haar verhaal vertel het, is geneem.
Die meisie is ook vir ’n mediese ondersoek geneem.
“Ons kan nie toelaat dat ’n kind se aantygings van verkragting geïgnoreer word nie. Die polisie is verplig om alle sake op te volg, soveel te meer in die geval van ’n verkragting. Dit het in dié geval nie gebeur nie,” het Kriel gesê.
“Ons weier om hieroor stil te bly. Alle misdaad teen kinders moet aangemeld, ondersoek en opgevolg word.”
Me. Dikeledi Phiri, woordvoerder van die OKD, het bevestig dat ’n klag wel by hulle aanhangig gemaak is.
Volgens haar sal die saak nou verder ondersoek word.

Boere maan Selebi al jare lank oor krisis
Musina (Messina). – Boere in dié gebied in Limpopo skryf reeds sedert 2002 briewe aan komm. Jackie Selebi, polisiehoof, oor die probleem van onwettige immigrante van Zimbabwe wat op hulle plase skuil.
Beeld is in besit van ’n brief van die Soutpansbergdistrikslandbou-unie wat in Junie vanjaar aan Selebi gestuur is.
Hierin sê mnr. Gideon Meiring, voorsitter van die Soutpansbergdistrikslandbou-unie, dat onwettige immigrante op plase in Limpopo ’n probleem is wat op nasionale vlak hanteer moet word.
Die landbou-unie het die eerste brief reeds op 12 September 2002 aan Selebi gestuur.
Nog briewe oor die probleem is onderskeidelik op 20 Augustus 2003, 25 Oktober 2004 en 8 Januarie vanjaar aan Selebi se kantoor gestuur. Selebi het nooit eens daarop reageer nie.
“Ondanks al ons klagtes, stroom die Zimbabwiërs steeds na ons plase,” het Meiring gesê.
Boere het intussen besluit om self daagliks patrollie te ry en onwettige immigrante aan te keer en aan die polisie te oorhandig.
Meiring het gesê indien die situasie nie verbeter nie, gaan boere ’n padblokkade by die Baobab-tolhek, sowat 35 km voor Musina, hou om onwettige immigrante vas te trek.
“Ons het twee jaar gelede ’n reuse-padblokkade gehou. Ons het baie onwettige Zimbabwiërs aan die polisie oorhandig,” het Meiring gesê.
Die onwettige immigrante skuil dikwels in vragmotors en ander voertuie om in die land in te kom.
Onwettige immigrante rig groot skade aan boere se heinings aan. Wild kom deur gate in heinings en boonop maak onwettiges vure op plase wat baie skade aanrig. Boere het ook al op strikke afgekom wat vir diere gestel is.
Intussen is dit ’n voltydse werk om die grensdrade tussen die twee lande te herstel.
Mnr. Chris Botha, ’n kontrakteur wat die grensdrade moet herstel, sê hulle ”kan nie voorbly nie”.
Tydens ’n besoek van Beeld aan die grens, is duidelik geknipte gate in die eerste van drie stelle grensdrade gesien.
Onwettige immigrante kruip deur die draad, spring oor rolle doringdraad en klouter dan oor ’n laaste draadheining na Suid-Afrika. Die draadheining hang op verskeie plekke slap soos daar oor geklouter word.
Botha het 44 jaar in Zimbabwe gewoon.
“Ek is nou ’n jaar in Suid-Afrika. Ek het met my kar en twee tasse oorgekom,” het hy gesê.

Student se 2de voertuig ook gesteel
SKAARS ’n maand nadat ’n vrouestudent se bakkie gesteel is, het diewe nou ook die motor wat sy met ’n gedeelte van haar erfporsie gekoop het, vasgelê.
Me. Nanette Naudé (20), ’n dramastudent in haar derde jaar aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV), het op 8 Junie saam met vriende DVD’s in ’n huis in Universitas gekyk toe “Daisy”, ’n 1979-model Datsun-bakkie, gesteel is.
Sy sê die bakkie is tussen 21:00 en 22:00 op die hoek van George Grey- en Jock Meiringstraat gesteel.
Naudé se pa, Kobus (54), het nog voordat hy getroud is die bakkie gekoop. “Ek het met die bakkie grootgeword.”
Boonop was die bakkie goed bekend onder inwoners van Huis Emily Hobhouse op die UV-hoofkampus. Naudé bly al langer as twee jaar in dié koshuis. Volgens haar is “Daisy” onder meer ingespan toe sy en mede-inwoners vir die manne van Karee-koshuis op Valentynsdag gaan sing het.
Naudé was nog op skool toe haar ma, Mariet, oorlede is.
Kobus het daarna sy vrou se geld in trusts vir sy twee dogters belê.
Dit was dié geld wat Naudé onlangs gebruik het om vir haar ’n tweedehandse Toyota Corolla te koop.
Sy sê dit was vir haar baie lekker om weer ’n motor te hê en nie van ander mense afhanklik te wees nie.
“Sy was bietjie swaarder op petrol as Daisy, maar het lekker gery.”
Maandagaand het sy vir ’n vriend wat in ’n woonstelblok in Universitas bly, gaan kuier.
Volgens Naudé is die motor tussen 19:00 en 22:00 uit ’n parkeergebied hier gesteel.
Sy sê sy kan nie glo dat só iets twee keer met een mens kan gebeur nie.
“Daar is mense wat sewe motors het. Hoekom word myne gesteel?”
Sy sê ’n mens het ’n motor nodig, omdat dit gevaarlik is om ná byvoorbeeld aandklasse koshuis toe te stap.
Naudé het albei voorvalle by die Parkweg-polisiekantoor aangemeld.
Die bakkie en motor is egter steeds soek.

'The sadness will never go away'
Cape Town - On Thursday, Marleen Konings would have celebrated her 28th birthday.
Instead her father Edwin Konings, 54, and her sister Lotte, 25, are laying wreaths and flowers at a memorial stone in the Tradouw Pass between Barrydale and Suurbraak.
The cold-blooded murder of Marleen, a student from the Netherlands, in December 2003, made headlines around the world. Her murderer Ferdinandt Mostert, 51, was sentenced two years later. He is now serving a 25-year prison sentence.
"It is our third visit to beautiful Cape Town," Marleen's visibly emotional dad, Edwin, said in an exclusive interview with Cape Son.
"The first time we came to search for Marleen.
"The second time we were here for the court case.
"But this time we are here to honour Marleen's memory.
"We want to visit the places she visited, see the things that she cherished," he said.
Just before the interview Edwin, Lotte and advocate Jan Theron who handled Marleen's case had returned on the Sea Princess, from a deeply moving visit to Robben Island.
"It was one of the places that Marleen had a very soft spot for," said Lotte.
"It was sad, but it was beautiful. Just as beautiful as the photos Marleen sent to us," she said.
Marleen's mother Jose, couldn't make the visit because of personal reasons.
But she did send a wreath and a card which will be placed on her daughter's memorial stone.
"In the card my mother says she thinks of her (Marleen) every day of her life," said Lotte.
"The sadness will never go away.
"But there are too many beautiful things about Marleen's life which we will always remember," said Edwin.
"Our lives must go on. We are here to have a holiday and to celebrate the birthday.
"It isn't good to carry bitterness in your heart and to live in the past," he said.
The Konings family say they fell in love with Cape Town. "It is a stunning place. The people are friendly," he said. "Yes, you have crime and one must be careful, but it is the same as in the Netherlands.
"We are just grateful that Marleen's murderer is in prison. We say thank you to investigating officers Piet Viljoen and Attie Trollop and Jan," he said.
The Konings and Theron, who was the prosecutor in the murder case, have meanwhile formed a close friendship.
"It is an exceptional friendship" Theron told Cape Son. "This is the first time I have kept in contact with the family of a victim," he said.

Dad held for brutal murder
Johannesburg - The pieces of a murder the police described as "puzzling" last year, seemed to have fallen into place when Rudi Venter appeared in court in connection with his wife's death.
Rene Venter, 33, was beaten to death with a baseball bat in their home on August 31.
Police spokesperson Eugene Opperman said Venter, 35, was arrested by Mondeor police after the court issued a warrant for his arrest.
Venter's clothes were sent for forensic testing after police found inconsistencies in his account of the event.
Opperman said:"The reports were received back from the laboratory recently. Astonishing evidence emerged."
Bloodied bat lay next to her
Venter told police last year how he had discovered the body of his wife at their home in Olivedale on the West Rand.
He said she had been lying on the floor in a short passage between the main bedroom and the bathroom.
She had been battered repeatedly about the head, neck and torso with a baseball bat. The bloodied bat lay next to her.
Venter told police that after he had dropped their sons Renier and Andrew off at school, he saw two men fleeing when he returned home and opened the garage door.
The house had been surrounded by an electrified fence and there was apparently no sign of a forced entry.
Venter was arrested in Bryanston, where he works as a graphic designer.
Venter, who appeared to be very confused in the court room, approached the dock in a grey jersey and black pants and did not know quite where to stand.
In response to magistrate Awie du Plooy who asked if he had a lawyer or needed help to get one, he said: "I don't have an attorney and I don't know what to do."
He said he still had to "make some enquiries".
Du Plooy said he should indicate if he changed his mind later and wanted access to legal aid.
Venter is to remain in custody at the Mondeor police cells until July 25, when a formal bail application will be heard.
René Venter first made news as a "miracle baby" when she was born in Bloemfontein's National Hospital at 28 weeks, weighing just 1.106 kg.

Courtney's still fighting her battle
Paralysed by a hijacker's bullet before she was born, seven-year-old Courtney Ellerbeck is again fighting the effects of her injury.
On Wednesday she underwent a three-hour corrective spine operation in the latest in a series of procedures to repair her damaged body.
Courtney was shot by a hijacker who ambushed her pregnant mother Lesley on March 30, 2000. The bullet ripped through the unborn baby's buttocks, leading to her being born a short while later by caesarean section - two months premature.
The gunman was never caught.
Weeks later, medical experts grew concerned because Courtney did not kick or move her lower body. Tests revealed that her injuries were more serious than originally thought and, as the little girl grew and battled her way through the normal sitting and crawling milestones, it became apparent that she would never walk.
More than seven years later, Courtney is battling her way through life as a paraplegic - her spine growing increasingly bent and twisted because of the bullet injury.
She has already undergone three operations: the first when she was six days old and had a colostomy bag fitted, the next five months later to close the colostomy opening and the third last year to lengthen her right Achilles tendon so she would not develop a club foot.
After consulting several specialists, Lesley Ellerbeck decided to go ahead with the operation to correct the damage to Courtney's spine before it got worse.
Her mother, Mary Ellerbeck, a former nurse who now works in a medical call centre, called on all her contacts and worked hard to find the resources needed to make the surgery possible.
Courtney is not covered by a medical aid and the first quote for the procedure was almost R175 000. Undaunted, the Ellerbecks sought help from Netcare, which together with other roleplayers, reduced the costs to about R91 000.
On Wednesday morning Courtney, accompanied by her mother, her grandmother and her uncle Quinton, was admitted to Pretoria East Hospital and given the use of one of the hospital's private rooms.
"Look at my fountain," she said cheerfully pointing to the water feature in the courtyard.
Her emotions ran rampant. One minute she was excitedly introducing her doll - "my one-year-old baby, Florence", and then weeping the next because she was thirsty and desperate for breakfast.
As she was measured and fitted for a spine brace, she said she was not worried about pain because "I haven't got any feeling in my back".
But a few minutes later when the surgeon examined her, Courtney gasped that his hands were cold when he touched her back.
Explaining Courtney's condition just before going into theatre, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Etienne Coetzee said the 48° scoliosis (abnormal curve) in the child's lower back was causing asymmetry when she sat, causing her buttocks and pelvis to "sit skew and oblique".
If untreated, the condition would worsen, causing her hip to dislocate.
The uneven weight bearing on her buttocks would lead to pressure sores and back pain.
"We plan to fuse five vertebrae with 3,5mm paediatric screws and put titanium rods on either side of the spine, against the bone and under the muscles and skin," he said.
He said the implants would be permanent and because they were in her lower back they did not anticipate problems as she grows.
At 9am Courtney was wheeled into surgery. She clutched Florence and grew tearful as her granny and uncle said goodbye.
For three hours her mother waited, declaring the morning "the longest day of my entire life".
Just before noon Dr Coetzee, still in his theatre garb, approached the worried mother with a broad smile on his face.
"She's doing well. I'm very happy," he said
Her six weeks of healing have now begun.

Man ploeg deur heining, ry in huis vas toe kapers skiet
Die bestuurder van 'n ingenieursonderneming is dood nadat hy met sy bakkie deur die pallisade-heining voor sy erf gebars en teenaan sy huis tot stilstand gehom het toe kapers hom geskiet het.
Mnr. Howard Scott van Weltenvredenpark aan die Wes-Rand is verlede Vrydagaand omstreeks 20:00 in sy huis se oprit doodgeskiet.
Scott se vrou, Elaine, het televisie gekyk en die ligte van sy motor opgemerk toe Scott by die oprit ingedraai het.
Toe hoor sy 'n geskree, twee skote en die alarm by die hek wat aanhoudend loei.
Buite het 'n buurman die aaklige nuus aan mev. Scott oorgedra dat haar man dood in sy bakkie is.
Die aanvallers het met leë hande gevlug.
'n Roudiens word môre (Vrydag) in Midrand gehou vir Scott.

Daniellé-saak die 10de keer uitgestel
Randfontein - Die ouers van die vermoorde Daniellé Esterhuizen (5) het gister in trane van frustrasie uitgebars toe die borgtogaansoek van hul oudste kind se vermeende moordenaars gister vir die soveelste keer uitgestel is.
Dié verwikkeling het mnr. Diederick Esterhuizen en sy vrou, Anél, sprakeloos gelaat.
Die nie-beskikbaarheid van ’n regsverteenwoordiger in die saak, waarin mnr. David Nqomane (31), Tsakane Sithole (25) en Thabang Jane (26) daarvan beskuldig word dat hulle ’n aandeel in die moord op Daniellé Esterhuizen op 20 Desember verlede jaar gehad het, het meegebring dat dié saak gister vir die tiende keer in vyf maande uitgestel is.
Nog geen getuienis of aansoek om borgtog van dié drie beskuldigdes is tot dusver aangehoor nie.
Daniellé is in haar ma se arms, doodgeskiet toe ’n skynbare roofaanval op die gesin tydens ’n visvanguitstappie by die Riebeeckmeer skeefgeloop het.
Mnr. Lucas Smit, staatsaanklaer, het landdros Ettienne van Niekerk gister versoek om die saak weens die beskuldigdes se gesloer na die Johannesburgse Hooggeregshof te verwys. Indien ’n hooggeregshofdatum voor 29 Augustus bepaal kan word, sal die borgtogaansoek in die hooggeregshof aangehoor word.
As die staat nie voor 29 Augustus ’n hofdatum in die hooggeregshof vasgestel kan kry nie, sal die borgaansoek op dié datum in dié streekhof voortgaan.
Al drie beskuldiges het aangedui dat hulle steeds om borgtog wil aansoek doen.
Supt. Gert Kruger, ’n senior ondersoekbeampte van die Randfontein-speurtak en insp. Peet Venter, ondersoekbeampte, was dit eens dat die staat gereed was om met getuienis voort te gaan.
’n Vierde verdagte is steeds soek.
Mnr. Kallie Kriel, uitvoerende hoof van AfriForum, het in ’n verklaring gesê dit is kommerwekkend dat die beskuldigdes hulle reg tot regsverteenwoordiging misbruik om inbreuk te maak op die ouers van die slagoffer se reg dat geregtigheid so spoedig moontlik geskied.
“Die misdaadkrisis in die land sal nie opgelos kan word solank misdadigers en verdagtes se regte hoër as die regte van slagoffers geag word nie, veral nie in gevalle waar beskuldigdes hul regte misbruik nie,” het Kriel gesê.

Rugby-moordsaak gaan voort
Worcester. - Die aanklagte teen twee spelers van die Delicious-klub wat met die rugbydood van Riaan Loots verbind word, bly onveranderd nadat die direkteur van openbare vervolging vertoë deur die verdediging vir die terugtrek van die saak van die hand gewys het.
Ben Zimri van Ceres, ten tyde van Loots se dood agtsteman van die Delicious-rugbyklub van Ceres, sal nou in Desember in die streekhof hier op aanklagte van moord en aanranding met die opset om ernstig te beseer tereg staan. Sy medebeskuldigde, Wayne Matthee van die Paarl (senter), sal verhoor word vir aanranding met die opset om ernstig te beseer.
Streeklanddros P.J.J. van Rensburg het die verhoordatums gister as 10, 11 en 12 Desember aangedui. Hy het die jaar per abuis as 2002 aangegee, maar niemand het enige twyfel uitgespreek oor watter jaar bedoel word nie.
Die aanklaer is mnr. Neville Simpson en mnr. Mushtak Parker verskyn vir die beskuldigdes.
Loots (24) is noodlottig beseer toe hy in 'n Premierliga-kragmeting op 23 Junie 2006 tussen Delicious en Rawsonville met 'n stywe arm teen die strot geslaan en geskop is.
Zimri, in 'n swart leerbaadjie, swart langbroek en wit T-hemp en Matthee, in 'n blou denimbroek en grys sweetpakbaadjie, het gister uitdrukkingloos die verhoordatum aangehoor. Hulle is in en buite die hof ondersteun deur 'n groepie lede en ondersteuners van Delicious, van hulle in groen klubklere geklee.
Zimri is vroeër op appèl deur 'n tugkomitee van die Boland-rugby?unie lewenslank as rugbyspeler geskors en mag ook nie aan enige ander rugbyaktiwiteite deelneem nie. Matthee is vir ses weke uit rugby geskors.
Adriaan Engelbrecht (25), 'n boesemvriend van Loots, het gister met 'n duidelik sigbare letsel van rugbygeweld aan sy onderlip ook die hofsaak bygewoon. Hy het in die agterste ry gesit saam met Loots se ouers, mnr. Willie en mev. Lana Loots, en hul seun Wimpie.
Engelbrecht het ná Loots se dood besluit hy speel nie weer in Suid-Afrika rugby nie. Hy het Saterdag vir Helderberg se derde span teen Primrose in die Strand uitgedraf net om in oefening te bly voordat hy einde Julie na Engeland vertrek om sy rugbyloopbaan daar voort te sit. Engelbrecht voer aan hy is ná die wedstryd erg geskop en geslaan en het 'n klag van aanranding teen 'n Primrose-speler ingedien.
Loots se ouers het gister hand aan hand die hof verlaat.
Hulle wens so die hofsaak kan net afgehandel word, het mnr. Loots gesê. "Dis móéilik om hier te wees. Dis baie traumaties."
Hy het vertel hoe die rugbyspanne van Rawsonville en Helderberg onlangs 'n herdenkingswedstryd gespeel het. "Ek was daar, maar (was) amper vir twee dae daarna tot niet."
Hy het die hoop uitgespreek dat iets goeds tog net sal kom uit die veldtog teen geweld in sport wat mnr. Whitey Jacobs, provinsiale minister van sport, onlangs aangekondig en met hul toestemming na Riaan genoem het.
Klubs en provinsiale besture moet begin om verantwoordelikheid vir swak dissipline te aanvaar, het hy bygevoeg. "Riaan was taai. En geweldig sterk. Maar hy het nooit 'n geel of rooi kaart gekry nie. Hy was werklik 'n voorbeeld vir spelers. Hoekom kan almal nie so speel nie?"
Niks wat hier (in die hof) gebeur, kan Riaan terugbring nie, het mev. Loots sag bygevoeg.
'n Vriend in die noorde het vir hulle 'n grafsteen gemaak. Maar alles is nog so rou. Hulle kan nog nie daarna kyk nie.
Die grafsteen staan sedert Desember nog met sy voorkant na die muur.

Now it's high-rise robbery
In a brazen lunchtime attack, three gunmen stormed the 22nd floor of a high-rise building in the heart of Pretoria.
They stole cash, then disconnected telephones and destroyed cellphone SIM cards - before calmly taking a lift and walking off scot-free.
Thursday's attack gridlocked the city as police blocked off roads around the SALU building on the corner of Andries and Schoeman streets after learning that the robbers were apparently still hiding in the 28-storey building.
'They screamed at us, threatening to shoot us'
With a helicopter circling overhead, police and tracker dogs were seen scouring the building floor by floor.
They searched stairwells, corridors and offices for the men who had earlier attacked the staff of a Pretoria wholesaler.
The gunmen, whose identity and whereabouts are still unknown, launched their 10-minute attack on Andenco Investments just before lunchtime.
Walking into the reception area, the robbers, armed with handguns, forced the receptionists into the company's boardroom. They then grabbed employees conducting job interviews and threw them to the floor.
Pretoria Central police station spokesperson Captain Tessa Jansen said that after forcing staff into the boardroom the gunmen grabbed a supervisor and the head of the company and dragged them to an administration office.
"They tied them up with masking tape and demanded keys to a safe."
"When the two told their attackers the keys were with another employee, who was out of the office, the gunmen turned on them, roughing them up before grabbing a cellphone and a wallet and dragging them back to their colleagues."
Jansen said the gunmen then forced staff to hand over their cellphone SIM cards, which they are believed to have destroyed so that they could not alert police.
The gunmen fled, apparently in a lift, taking money, a cellphone and a wallet.
Police were appealing for anyone with information on the robbers' identities or whereabouts to contact them.
Traumatised staff were seen huddling around each other and smoking cigarettes as detectives tried to piece the attack together.
An Andenco Investments staff member said: "Everything happened so quickly."
"The robbers were extremely professional and seemed to know exactly what they were doing and what they were looking for."
"They screamed at us, threatening to shoot us if we tried to do anything 'stupid' such as phone for help," said an employee who asked not to be identified.
A businesswoman who was on the 22nd floor when the attack occurred said she had not even known there was a robbery until the police arrived.
"It is clear that these robbers knew exactly what they were doing," said Janet de Villiers.
Trying to leave the building had been a nightmare. "It was crazy. People did not know what was going on. Some were still coming into the building while others were trying to get out. No wonder the robbers had managed to escape with such ease," she said.
Motorists stuck in traffic around neighbouring blocks were seen screaming at metro police who blockaded roads and were refusing to allow them to drive past until the building had been checked.
A motorist said the blockades were ridiculous as the robbers "would not be stupid enough to hang around in a building they could not escape from, especially with the police outside".
