Petisie teen taxi’s ná student omgery is
Port Elizabeth. – Die toestand van die student wat verlede week deur ’n taxi van sy fiets afgestamp is, het aansienlik versleg.
Jason Kruger (19) van Sedgefield, wat in die Netcare Green-acres-hospitaal behandel word, het Sondag positiewe tekens getoon, regop gesit en self geëet, maar teen Maandagoggend het sy toestand drasties versleg.
Sy ma, me. Carrie Kruger, het gister gesê sy brein is geswel en daar is ook nog vog op die brein.
Hy sou vandag ’n operasie aan sy beseerde skouer en arm ondergaan het, maar dit sal nou moontlik nie meer plaasvind nie.
“Hy is weer op ’n drup geplaas en ontvang suurstof om sy asemhaling te reguleer.
“Verder ontvang hy verdowingsmiddels vir die erge hoofpyne wat hy kry. Hy praat nie meer nie, maar hy druk darem my hand,” het sy ma gesê.
Hy word tans in die hospitaal se afsonderingseenheid behandel.
Die Nelson Mandela Metropolitaanse Universiteit (NMMU), waar Kruger ’n eerstejaarstudent is, het besluit om die plaaslike owerheid aan te vat oor die gevaar waarin taxi’s sy studente stel.
Gevolglik het die NMMU ’n aanlynpetisie begin om die Nelson Mandelabaai-munisipaliteit voor stok te kry.
Mense wat belangstel om die petisie te onderteken, kan die universiteit by 041 504 2777 bel vir meer inligting.

Helikopter nou ingespan in soektog na Alzheimer-lyer (67)
George. - Die soektog na ’n Alzheimer-lyer (67) van Port Elizabeth wat die naweek spoorloos in Plettenbergbaai verdwyn het, is gister uitgebrei.
Mnr. Johan Redelinghuys, ook bekend as Boetie, het Vrydagmiddag laat weggedwaal by die woonstelkompleks in Plettenbergbaai waar hy en sy vrou, Lucia, tans vakansie hou. Volgens ’n ooggetuie is hy later die aand naby Stormsrivier gesien waar hy op die N2 gestap het.
Sy seun, mnr. Johan Redelinghuys jr., het gister uit Port Elizabeth gesê daar sou per helikopter na sy pa in Plettenbergbaai gesoek word.
Die gesin bel ook vervoerkontrakteurs wat lang afstande ry om uit te vind of ’n vragmotorbestuurder nie moontlik vir Redelinghuys ’n geleentheid gegee het nie.
Volgens Redelinghuys jr. is die soektog per helikopter moontlik gemaak met behulp van die Nasionale Seereddingsinstituut (NSRI) in Plettenbergbaai en die polisie.
“Die mense aan daardie kant, soos Ray Farnham (stasiebevelvoerder van die NSRI), is ongelooflik. Ons is regtig dankbaar vir almal wat help soek.”
Die soektog in Port Elizabeth het nog niks opgelewer nie, het hy gesê. Redelinghuys is glo by ’n vulstasie in Port Elizabeth gewaar, maar videomateriaal van sekerheidskameras het geen teken van hom gewys nie.
“Mense is steeds besig om hier rond te ry om te kyk of hulle my pa gewaar. Ons gaan nou weer in Plettenbergbaai soek, want dit is waar my pa verdwyn het.”
Redelinghuys is by die huis weg sonder geld. Hy was geklee in ’n donkergroen kakiehemp, donker kortbroek en sandale. Hy dra ’n bril, het grys hare met ’n snor, weeg 84 kg en is 1,78 m lank.
Hy moet soggens en saans medikasie vir sy siekte neem. Hy is sonder enige medikasie weg by die huis, het sy broer, mnr. Manie Redelinghuys, gesê.
Mense met inligting oor waar Redelinghuys hom bevind, kan die Plettenbergbaaise polisie by 044 533 2100 bel of die polisie se noodnommer 10111 skakel.

Security guard ‘owned up‘ to N2 bridge murder
A SECURITY guard accused of throwing a driving instructor off a high bridge on the N2 highway in 2005 appeared to confess to the murder and implicated two co-accused when he was approached by police about two weeks later, the investigating officer told the Circuit Court in Knysna yesterday.
“I am not going to prison alone; we were three,” security guard Siyabuya Sigutya allegedly told Captain Cornelius Jantjies when the policeman interviewed him at Magnum Shield security company on the Knysna waterfront.
“For an investigating officer, that doesn‘t happen very often – it was like manna from heaven,” Jantjies told the court.
Sigutya, Lubabalo Nohalana and Monwabisi Sondlo have pleaded not guilty to kidnapping Robert Wolhuter, robbing him of his car, cellphone and watch and throwing him off a bridge on the N2 highway between Knysna and Port Elizabeth on the morning of March 18, 2005.
Despite an extensive search of every ravine crossed by the highway between Knysna and Port Elizabeth, Wolhuter‘s body was never found.
Jantjies said police investigations into calls made from Wolhuter‘s cellphone after he went missing led him to believe Sigutya was a suspect.
He said he went to interview the security guard and had barely introduced himself when “out of the blue” Sigutya appeared to confess to the murder and named Nohalana and Sondlo as his alleged accomplices.
Jantjies said Sigutya took him to the home of Nohalana, who accused Sigutya of forcing him to accompany him when they kidnapped Wolhuter.
Sigutya‘s defence advocate, Fareed Stemmet, said his client would deny making any form of confession.
Cross-examined by Stemmet, Jantjies denied he had failed to advise Sigutya of his rights when he arrested him or that the three accused had been assaulted, intimidated, tortured with pepper spray in their eyes or forced to point out the bridge from which Wolhuter was allegedly thrown.
Earlier, the court heard from Wolhuter‘s girlfriend, Cynthia Koppel, who said she last saw him when he left their home to transport restaurant workers home at the end of their night shift, which he apparently did for extra income.
Koppel said she became aware that something was amiss when she was woken at about 3am by staff from the Knysna Spur restaurant who needed a lift home because Wolhuter had failed to collect them.
In the hours that followed, she repeatedly called his cellphone and on one occasion someone answered and she heard people speaking in Xhosa.
Koppel said a watch and car keys presented to the court as exhibits yesterday had belonged to Wolhuter.
She also said that Wolhuter had suffered from muscular dystrophy. “He had trouble walking and sometimes couldn‘t get up on his own. Even getting out of his car was difficult for him.”

‘Polisiemanne’ bring hul eie inbreker – en beroof vrou
’n “Inbreker” het vier “polisiemanne” gisteroggend gehelp om ’n Pretoriase vrou, haar huiswerker en haar tuinier te beroof nadat hulle voorgegee het hulle wil ’n saakdossier oor ’n inbraak daar kom aanlê.
Mev. Roeline Odendaal (55) het gesê die “polisiemanne” was in polisie-uniforms geklee en het polisie-kentekens en selfs polisiedienspistole by hulle gehad toe hulle om 07:40 met ’n “verdagte” by haar huis op ’n hoewe by Heatherdale in die noorde van Pretoria opdaag.
“Die inbreker se hande was vasgebind en hulle het hom hardhandig gehanteer. Hulle het eers die klokkie by die hek gelui en ek het hulle op die kamera gesien.
“Hulle het gesê hulle het die man wat twee weke gelede my lemmetjiesdraad geknip het en hulle wil ’n dossier aanlê. Hulle het hul kentekens vir my teen die kamera gehou en nadat ek oortuig was dit is wel die polisie, het ek vir hulle die hek oopgemaak.
“Hulle het gevra waar my kwaai honde (rottweilers) is en het gesê hulle wil die man by die honde ingooi, maar ek het nee gesê,” het Odendaal vertel.
Die mans het gesê hulle wil by ’n tafel sit sodat hulle die dossier kan aanlê. Een van die “polisiemanne” het ’n glas water gevra wat sy vir hom gegee het. Nóg een het water gevra en toe sy omdraai om dit vir hom te kry, het hy haar oorval en haar neus en mond toegedruk. Sy het haar bewussyn verloor.
Toe Odendaal haar bewussyn herwin, het hulle gesê sy moet die kluis oopsluit. Hulle het R16 000 kontant en juwele ter waarde van meer as R250 000 gesteel.
Die “polisiemanne” het die man wat hulle saamgebring het, se hande losgemaak. Hy het ’n silwerkleurige rewolwer uitgepluk, wat hy op haar en haar werkers gerig het. “Die polisiemanne het ook 9 mm-pistole uitgehaal en teen my voorkop, slaap en maag gedruk.”
Hulle het die huiswerker en die tuinier in die gang vasgebind en Odendaal met plastiekkabels aan ’n oefenapparaat in haar slaapkamer vasgebind. “Hulle het ook my klein hondjies geskop.”
Die “polisiemanne” het ook ’n skootrekenaar, ’n versameling ou geld en ’n kamera gesteel. Toe hulle haar selfone wou vat, het sy hulle gesmeek om minstens een foon te los.
“Die een polisieman het ewe gesê: ‘Mammie, ek sit die selfoon op jou Bybel neer’ en toe vlug hulle.”
Kapt. Lucas Sithole, polisiewoordvoerder, het die voorval bevestig. “Dit is ’n baie ernstige uitdaging vir die polisie en ons gaan alles probeer om die kamma-polisiemanne te stuit voordat hulle die polisie meer skade aandoen.”

Grens tussen Mosambiek, SA ‘ ’n mite, erger as ’n sif’
Die grensdraad tussen Suid-Afrika en Mosambiek is net ’n mite.
Dis erger as ’n sif, want dit keer net eenvoudig nie meer enigiemand wat die grens onwettig oorsteek nie, meen mnr. Gerhard Coetzer, oudpolisiebeampte en deesdae eienaar van Securikon Sekuriteit in Komatipoort.
“Letterlik honderde onwettige immigrante sypel weekliks die republiek binne en niemand kan, of wil, blykbaar iets daaraan doen nie.”
Coetzer verskaf deesdae veiligheidsdienste aan tientalle boere op die grens tussen Komatipoort en die Mananga-grenspos met Swaziland.
Die stuk landsgrens strek oor sowat 80 km.
“Die boere is moedeloos. Daar is letterlik honderde paaie wat deur van die boere se plase oor die grensdraad na Mosambiek loop waar gesteelde voertuie daagliks uitgesmokkel word.”
Oor die afgelope maande, sê Coetzer, was daar ’n merkbare toestroming van buitelanders vanuit hoofsaaklik Somalië, die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo en Pakistan wat oor die grens glip.
Sy grootste kommer is dat onwettige immigrante wat aangekeer word weer net so vinnig deur die polisie vrygelaat word.
Coetzer was enkele maande gelede self betrokke by ’n voorval waar ’n bus met 60 Somaliërs buite Komatipoort voorgekeer is.
Die bestuurder van die bus, ’n tolk wat by die hooggeregshof in Johannesburg werk, is ook in hegtenis geneem.
Hy is ondanks sy inhegtenisneming en beweerde betrokkenheid by mensesmokkelary nog nie aangekla nie.
Die departement van justisie het ook nog nie teen hom opgetree nie.
Adv. Simon Jiyane, adjunk-direkteur-generaal van hofdienste, het gister onderneem om persoonlik ’n ondersoek oor die hoftolk se beweerde betrokkenheid by die misdaad te doen.
Laat verlede jaar het van Coetzer se personeellede ’n bakkie met nege Pakistani’s voorgekeer wat onwettig in die land is.
“Die volgende dag is al nege, sonder toesig, op ’n taxi in Komatipoort gelaai en glo na ’n deurgangskamp in Gauteng gestuur. Hulle sou glo daarvandaan gedeporteer word.”
Komm. André Pruis, nasionale adjunkpolisiehoof, het eergister gesê daar is tans sowat 1 300 polisielede wat die landsgrense beskerm. “Die getal gaan egter binnekort verdubbel word.”

Johannesburg - A 27-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison for murder by the Johannesburg High Court on Wednesday, police said.
Captain Steady Nawa said Mvelo Thwala shot and killed Johan Fourie, 32, during an attempted robbery in Germiston in August 2007.
According to Nawa, Fourie was parked in his driveway talking to his brother and 12-year-old cousin, when Thwala with two other men pulled up behind him.
"Thwala and his accomplices came out of their car and tried to hijack Fourie's vehicle. Thwala shot Fourie, he fell on the ground. The three left the scene without taking anything."
Nawa said Fourie was rushed to hospital but he died on the way.
Thwala was arrested after investigations in September 2007 at his home in Tokoza on the East Rand.
One of his accomplices, Siphiwe Masinyane, 29. was arrested in December 2007.
On Wednesday, Judge Sal Dulker convicted and sentenced Thwala to life in prison for murder, and additional 15 years for attempted robbery with aggravating circumstances and to five years for unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Dulker ordered that all the sentences must run concurrently with the life sentence and further declared Thwala unfit to carry a firearm, Nawa said.
Masinyane was also found guilty of murder. He was sentenced to 18 years in jail for murder, 15 years for attempted robbery with aggravating circumstances and five years for illegal possession of firearm and ammunition.
His sentences would also run concurrently.
Nawa said the third man was still at large.

Woman raped two days after move to PE
A WOMAN living in Port Elizabeth for less than 48 hours after moving from Johannesburg, has become the latest victim of a brutal rape during a house robbery.
The woman, 38, who is married, moved to Colleen Glen less than two days before the attack. Reliable sources close to the investigation said she had been living alone while her husband was busy with his relocation from Johannesburg. It is believed that the couple were moving to the city to start a business venture.
Police spokesman Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said the woman was asleep at about 3am when three men, believed to have entered the house by breaking a window, burst into her bedroom.
“Two of the men jumped onto the bed and covered her face with a duvet and tied her up,” she said. “They then asked her to give them firearms, money and jewellery.”
The woman was taken to Greenacres Hospital shortly after the attack.
The latest attack comes only a week after a Mount Pleasant domestic worker was robbed, tied up and raped by two men posing as municipal employees. No one has yet been arrested.
In December last year a 34-year-old Lorraine housewife was robbed, beaten and raped in her secure townhouse complex by unknown assailants.
A month earlier, two sisters in their twenties were also raped and robbed by two men in their Mangold Park townhouse complex.

Alleged killers ‘gave away victim‘s watch, phone‘
THE men accused of killing driving instructor Robert Wolhuter gave his wristwatch and cellphone to a roadworks traffic controller when they were stopped a short while later in the car they allegedly stole from the murder victim, the Circuit Court in Knysna heard yesterday.
Traffic controller Monwabisi Williams told the court he was on duty at a stop/go on the N2 highway near Humansdorp on March 18, 2005 when a car drove into some traffic cones and failed to stop at the control point, between 2am and 3am.
Williams said when the car did eventually come to a stop he approached it and found it was occupied by three young men, two of whom he identified as accused in the Wolhuter case, Lubabalo Nohalana and Monwabisi Sondlo.
He said he was unable to say whether the third man in the car was co-accused Siyabuya Sigutya, but he was certain that Nohalana and Sondlo had given him a cellphone and wristwatch that allegedly belonged to Wolhuter.
However, Charles Erasmus, advocate for Nohalana and Sondlo, said his clients would testify that it was in fact Sigutya who had handed over the two items, while Sigutya‘s advocate, Fareed Stemmet, said his client did not even travel to Port Elizabeth from Knysna that day.
Sigutya, Nohalana and Sondlo have all pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and robbing Wolhuter of his car, cellphone and watch and throwing him off a high bridge on the N2 on the morning of March 18, 2005. Despite an extensive search of every ravine crossed by the highway between Knysna and Port Elizabeth, Wolhuter‘s body was never found.
Williams said he later handed the watch and cellphone to the police, and denied that he had accepted them as a bribe before allowing the men to drive away despite establishing that Nohalana was driving the vehicle without a driver‘s licence.
Stemmet pushed Williams for an explanation, but Judge James Yekiso intervened, pointing out that the witness was only a traffic controller, not a traffic official.
Williams also said that because the car had failed to stop at the control point, he had demanded to see inside the boot and had found medical documents from the Knysna hospital and documents for learner drivers.
