‘Ons gaan julle doodmaak!’
’n Oorlog in die kleine het glo by ’n gastehuis buite Gaborone, Botswana, gewoed toe drie Suid-Afrikaners hulle met brandblussers verset het teen ’n groep rowers wat hulle met houtstokke, klippe en bakstene aangeval het.
Twee gaste is hospitaal toe vir behandeling.
Mnr. Danie Krige (23), ’n plaasbestuurder van Maasstroom, Limpopo, sê hy en ’n vriend van Maasstroom wat anoniem wil bly, het Donderdagnag in ’n gastehuis buite Gaborone gebly.
Hulle het dokumente gebring vir sy vriend se broer – ’n beesboer van die noorde van Botswana – en dié se vrou.
Die groep het die gastehuis gekies as ’n sentrale bymekaarkomplek. Dit bestaan uit verskeie huisies op die perseel.
Krige sê omstreeks 00:30 was daar ’n lawaai buite. Hy en die vriend, wat ’n kamer gedeel het, het by die venster uitgekyk.
Twee mense het van buite op hulle afgepyl.
Die aanvallers het geskree: “We’re gonna kill you!”
Hulle het dié twee met ’n brandblusser in die gesigte gespuit, “maar dit het hulle net ’n bietjie gebriek”.
Die vriend het geskreeu vir sy broer wat in die huisie langsaan oornag het.
Die drie Suid-Afrikaners het hulle toe buite die huisies teen die aanvallers, wat intussen meer geword het, verset.
“Hulle het ons met klippe begin gooi. Hulle het ons geslaan en ons het hulle geslaan.”
Die booswigte het ook stokke gehad.
Van die aanvallers wou by die huisies ingaan. Een het met ’n skootrekenaar by Krige-hulle se kamer uitgehardloop.
Volgens Krige het sy vriend die rekenaardief agternagesit, maar twee ander aanvallers het sy vriend toe met ’n baksteen en ’n plank op die rug geslaan.
“Hulle wou heeltyd (by die kamers) inklim.”
Krige sê ’n klip het die gas in die kamer langsaan op die kop getref en hy moes hospitaal toe.
“Die tweede keer dat ons die brandblussers gebruik het, het ons hulle hiermee geslaan.”
Krige sê ’n baksteen het sy vriend in die gesig getref.
Krige het ’n klip opgetel en die baksteengooier in die ribbe gegooi.
“Alles was baie deurmekaar. Hulle het heeltyd vir ons gekom.”
Hy sê die polisie en weermag was baie gou op die toneel en die rowers, sowat sewe, het toe die veld in gevlug deur ’n gat wat hulle vooraf in die heining gemaak het.
Hy sê drie van die rowers is gevang.
Hulle is glo van Zimbabwe. Slegs die skootrekenaar is weg.
Sy vriend het wonde aan sy elmboog en rug gehad wat met steke geheg is.
Krige sê dit was soos ’n oorloggie. Daar was nog twee Suid-Afrikaners in ’n ander huisie op die perseel.
Krige en sy vriend is reeds terug in Suid-Afrika.

Polisie trek rowers op Bethlehem vas
’n WILDE skietery tussen gewapende rowers en die polisie het gister op Bethlehem plaasgevind.
Twee mans is in hegtenis geneem en die polisie het ná die skietery op ’n rewolwer en Uzi-masjiengeweer beslag gelê.
Sers. Mmako Mophiring, polisiewoordvoerder, sê vier mans het die gebou op die hoek van Oxford- en Van der Merwe-straat, waar mense hul pensioengeld kry, binnegegaan.
Hulle het die veiligheidswag se pistool afgevat en hom aangehou. Die gewapende rowers het ’n vrou vasgebind en ander beveel om geld vir hulle te gee.
Die mans het toe met die geld probeer vlug, maar hulle teen die polisie vasgeloop. ’n Oor-en-weer-skietery het gevolg.
Die manne in blou het daarin geslaag om twee mans in verband met die voorval in hegtenis te neem. Die ander het weggekom.
Die rowers het die geld agtergelaat en die polisie het ook die veiligheidswag se vuurwapen teruggekry. Die polisie het ook op ’n wit Toyota Yaris met ’n Vrystaat-registrasienommer wat die gewapende rowers na bewering wou gebruik om te vlug, beslag gelê.
Die voertuig was slegs meters van die toneel geparkeer.
Mophiring sê niemand is in die voorval beseer nie.
Die twee vermeende gewapende rowers van Qwaqwa wat vasgetrek is, sal binnekort in die Bethlehem-landdroshof verskyn.
Enigiemand met inligting wat tot die inhegtenisneming van die ander twee verdagtes kan lei, kan die Bethlehem-polisiediens by 058-307-5700 of 08600-10111 bel.

Dead wife left naked on Bay hospital bed
A PORT Elizabeth pensioner has been left distraught after arriving at Livingstone Hospital to visit his sickly wife, only to find her dead, naked body lying on her bed in a general ward “for all to see”.
John Cloete, 67, immediately rushed to alert a nearby nurse who opened his wife’s eyes, promptly pronounced her dead and then said that staff were cleaning the body.
A heartbroken Cloete, who was married to Susie for 46 years, said: “Every time I close my eyes, I see this picture in front of me. I’ll never forget how I found her.”
Cloete said the way the nurses had dealt with the matter was “disgusting and unacceptable”.
“There was no dignity attached to it. My wife would not have allowed anyone to treat her like that. There were about 10 other patients in the ward.
“About a week ago, when we were visiting her, we saw a nurse wrapping up a corpse in a plastic bag like a Christmas present in front of everyone. It was visiting hours.”
Cloete, of Walmer, the manager at Nu Metro Walmer Park until he retired in 2003, was visiting his wife with friend and Boardwalk Nu Metro manager Lucia Bekker when they found her dead on Wednesday.
Susie, 65, was admitted with a heart problem three weeks ago.
Bekker said the experience had been “shocking”.
“When you go to a hospital to visit your loved one, you expect to find them in an appropriate condition. We never received notification Mrs Cloete had passed away.
“When we walked in, she wasn’t breathing. She was lying on the bed and naked for everybody to see. Her fingers were blue and she was ice cold. She must have been dead for about an hour or two.
“It’s chaos. What I have seen in that hospital is overwhelming, really overwhelming. There’s not enough staff to look after patients.”
However, Cloete said he did not plan to lay a complaint or take any legal action, because he did not believe justice would be done.
“I want to put this issue behind me. It’s haunting me. Even if I lodge a complaint against the hospital, I know they will come up with excuses and I don’t want to have to argue.
“I know this (report) will not bring my wife back, but at least people will get to understand what is happening at that hospital. I don’t want to see the walls of that hospital ever again.”
Port Elizabeth Hospital Complex chief executive Thulani Madonsela said that when laying out bodies, a white shroud made of durable plastic was used to wrap it in.
“If the laying out time is close to visiting time, the body is taken out of the ward and laid out in a secluded area. If it is done in the ward, the screens are drawn until the porters remove (it) to the mortuary.”
According to their investigation, Susie had been dressed by nurses in a hospital night dress just before visiting time. It was a “routine” to change patients’ linen and night dresses to make them “comfortable” between 2pm and 3pm.
Regarding Susie’s nudity when she died, Madonsela said she was “unfortunately” known by nurses “as a patient who did not like blankets and generally preferred to sleep on top of the linen or blankets”.
But Cloete refuted this. “We would not be shocked and making an issue of this” if this was indeed the case, he said.
“If that was the normal situation, we would not be shocked. That’s just not the case at all. She had two bed sheets, two blankets and five night gowns.”
There was no reason for her to be left naked on her bed.
Madonsela said: “This incident happened while the nurses were attending to other patients. Her condition must have changed suddenly during this time, (because) when the nurses left her, her condition was serious but stable.”
He dismissed claims there were no nurses in the ward at the time of Susie’s death, saying they had moved on to attend to other patients in the ward when Cloete arrived. The PE Hospital Complex was committed to upholding the rights of patients and their families to dignity “at all times”.

Superintendent ‘breaks into, trashes house’ in Greenbushes
A SENIOR Queenstown policeman and three of his friends were arrested for allegedly breaking into and trashing a house at Greenbushes smallholding.
The superintendent, who has not appeared in court but whose name is known to The Herald, owns a smallholding in Tarentaal Street, Greenbushes and rents it out to technical instructor George Voultsos.
Voultsos was at a braai last Saturday when he received a call from a concerned family member informing him that the superintendent was in town and he should be careful.
He and the superintendent are currently involved in a dispute over money.
“I told police at Kabega about the call and they said that I must notify them if I saw him or if he came to my house,” said Voultsos.
He went home shortly after 8.30pm and was confronted by the superintendent and his friends.
“When I arrived home he and at least 40 of his friends were there waiting for me. I went straight to the police station to get assistance.”
Police arrived after a short while and asked Voultsos to stay at a friend’s house for the night.
“When the police got there the superintendent was flashing his badge with 40 friends behind him,” said Voultsos.
“The police talked to him and then asked me if I could stay at a friend’s house for the night, which I did.”
At 5.30am on Sunday Voultsos returned and saw a car still parked at the house.
“The door to my house was standing wide open.”
Voultsos said he went back to the police station for help and a police constable had to get permission from his superiors to arrest the superintendent. “The police then finally went and arrested him and three of his friends who were still at the house,” he said.
According to Voultsos he went to the police station on Monday morning where he was told that the three accomplices and Voultsos had been released on a warning as the superintendent was in ill health and had gone to hospital.
Goods, including a television set, horse saddles, a DVD player and other items were stolen.
Police spokesman Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg confirmed that the superintendent and the three friends, one of whom was later discovered to be his brother, were arrested.
She said the man was released as the doctor had booked him into the cardiac unit for heart problems on Monday, but a case has been opened for investigation.

Tardy police show SA ‘not ready for Cup’
A PORT Elizabeth businessman feels the country is not ready to host the Fifa World Cup after the way police responded to the robbery of relatives from Australia.
The businessman, who did not wish to be named, said his aunt and uncle were robbed of R20000 after drawing money from FNB in Cape Road, Newton Park on Thursday.
He had gone with them to the bank to “close my uncle’s account and he was given R20000 (which was in the account)”.
“My uncle gave the money to me in the parking lot as we were about to drive back home. But I couldn’t drive well with the money in my pocket, so I handed it back to him. He gave it to my aunt who put it in her handbag.”
Back home, his aunt went to use the bathroom and “I was going to the guest toilet ...when I saw two men inside the house. One had a firearm which he pointed at my aunt and demanded the money bag. In fact, they took her handbag, which had the money bag inside, and fled.”
He said a neighbour across the road saw the men running away. “When I called Kabega Park police station, the female officer asked me all sorts of questions like how many (men) were they, what car they were in, the car’s registration number and which direction they took.”
Since they could not wait for the police to arrive, “we drove to the police station ourselves” where a docket of armed robbery was finally opened “after about 35 minutes of waiting”.
“I was very upset. My uncle and aunt’s passports were in that handbag. They couldn’t leave the country without them”.
But what became strange was that a few moments after the incident, “I got a call from my cousin in Durban about a text message he received regarding the robbery. He said a guy told him the handbag was with him in Govan Mbeki township.
“We don’t know how the guy (who sent the SMS) got my cousin’s cellphone number. It’s only the bank we went to that has the number.
“I called the guy who sent the text message and he said he had my aunt’s handbag with him at Govan Mbeki township. It seems as if the robbers threw away the handbag after taking the money.
“I was told the police vehicle was out on investigation when I went to Kabega Park police station to ask for an officer to escort me to the township. I was told to go to Mount Road police station and that’s where I got someone to go with (me).”
He and the police officer met the man who sent the SMS “and he took us to his grandmother’s house where the handbag was. We recovered the passports. What we are angry at is that when we asked the police what we should do about the (stolen) passports, they seemed clueless.
“The guy told us his grandmother picked up the handbag. The police didn’t even ask where the guy or his grandmother where they were when they picked (it up). No fingerprints were taken on the bag.
“I just don’t think the country is ready to host the World Cup.”
A close family friend said yesterday: “I’m so upset with the bank that tomorrow (Monday) I want to go and close my account.”
Police spokesman Inspector Alwin Labans said a case of house robbery was opened. Police would “look into” the way the case was handled.

Agt jaar vir vatterige pa
‘n Voormalige inwoner van die dorp, Willem Botha (39), is verlede Woensdag in die Streekhof op Louis Trichardt gevangenisstraf van agt jaar opgelê, nadat hy skuldig bevind is op ‘n klag van onsedelike aanranding.
Die klag teen hom spruit uit ‘n voorval toe hy sy eie dogter, nou 19-jaar oud, oor ‘n tydperk van twee jaar onsedelik aangerand het.
Botha is in Julie 2007 in hegtenis geneem, nadat sy dogter na vore gekom het en erken het dat hy haar vir ongeveer twee jaar onsedelik betas het. Tydens haar kruisondervraging het dit aan die lig gekom dat Botha haar privaatdele betas het.
Botha, wat ten tye van die voorval nog met sy dogter se ma getroud was en met nog ‘n vrou ‘n verhouding gehad het, het ook probeer om sy dogter te verkrag.
Die dogter het getuig dat sy hom altyd weggestamp het. Sy was tussen die ouderdom van 14 en 16 jaar oud ten tye van die voorvalle.
Nadat ‘n verslag rakende die impak van die gebeure op die dogter wat voor die hof gelê is, het Landdros Viljoen gesê dat Botha se dade die hof met afsku vervul.
Viljoen het genoem dat Botha, as ‘n vaderfiguur, die morele plig gehad het om sy dogter te beskerm, maar dat hy geen berou getoon het tydens die gesin se berading nie en ‘n “arrogante houding” geopenbaar het. Sy het ook verder te kenne gegee dat die hof van mening is dat geen geld genoeg sal wees vir die emosionele pyn wat die dogter moes deurmaak nie. Viljoen het voor vonnisoplegging gesê dat gemeenskapsbelang die voorste sitplek inneem ten opsigte van die vonnis.
“Wat gaan ons as volk doen om ons kinders te beskerm? Die hof het ‘n verpligting om die gemeenskap te beskerm,” het Viljoen gesê. Sy het daarna vir Botha tot agt jaar direkte gevangenisstraf gevonnis. Botha is verlof tot appel teen sy vonnis geweier.
Botha se dogter, wat met vonnisoplegging in die hof was, het vandeesweek aangedui dat sy besig is om die stukke van haar lewe op te tel en weer bymekaar te sit, sodat sy die gebeure agter haar kan plaas.

Veediewe knak bekende wolboere
Die wreedheid wat met veediefstal gepaardgaan en die finansiële verlies wat hulle feitlik daagliks ly, het twee bekende wolboere van Carolina in Mpumalanga gedwing om hul skaapboerdery wat die familie al 100 jaar bedryf, tot niet te maak.
Dr. Okkie van Niekerk en sy broer, Adri, is bekende wolboere van die omgewing, maar in Augustus vanjaar gaan hulle ál hul skape verkoop en hulle op ander bedryfsvertakkings in hul boerderye toespits.
Dr. Van Niekerk het aan wolboere op die jaarvergadering van Mpumalanga se NWKV op Ermelo vertel die jongste en wreedste manier van veediewe om skape onbeweeglik te maak, is om hul voorbene te breek. Skape se voorbeensenings word ook afgesny.
Hy boer met 800 teelooie en het die afgelope jaar 200 skape verloor. Altesame 168 is gesteel en die res is deur ongediertes gevang. Al die diefstalsake is verlede jaar aangemeld, maar tot nou toe is niemand aangekeer nie.
In die grootste enkele voorval het veediewe 50 van sy skape afgekeer, hul voorbeensenings afgesny en uiteindelik 39 buitgemaak wat na Machadodorp aangery is. Die vermeende diewe is aangekeer, op borgtog vrygelaat en die ondersoekbeampte het intussen die polisiediens verlaat.
In ’n ander voorval is 17 skape se voorbene gebreek om hulle te laat lê sodat hulle maklik later opgelaai kan word. Iets moes die diewe verjaag het en ses van die skape het weens ontbering gevrek.
Voor verlede winter het hy elf stoetramme gekoop. Veediewe het ses van hulle wat R2 500 stuk gekos het, geslag.
Hy het alles moontlik gedoen om ongediertes te beveg, maar niks maak werklik hond haaraf nie. Dit alles het hulle laat besluit om die skaapboerdery nou tot niet te maak, het hy gesê.

Emerald Casino weer ‘leeggedra'
VANDERBIJLPARK . – Die Emerald Safari Resort en Casino was Saterdag omstreeks 21:30 vir die derde keer in 8 maande deur ‘n bende gewapende mans beroof. Die Casino is in Junie en September verlede jaar deur rowers geteiken, waartydens hulle met groot bedrae geld weggekom het.
Mnr. Flip Wagner (41), ‘n ooggetuie, het Saterdagaand saam met ‘n vriendin en sy ouers die Casino besoek, toe twee mans by die hoofingang ingestorm en die gaste en personeel met vuurwapens oorval het. Die mans het sykouse oor hulle koppe getrek om hulle identiteite te beskerm.
“Een man het ‘n sekuriteitswag met ‘n pistool aangehou terwyl die ander man ons met ‘n AK-47 na binne gedwing het,” sê Wagner. Volgens Wagner het nog ‘n groep gewapende mans by die agterdeur van die casino ingestorm. Dit was glo chaos in die gebou.
“Mense het oor speeltafels geval en ander het probeer wegkruip. Baie mense het geskreeu omdat hulle paniekbevange was,” sê Wagner.
Mnr. Heyn Keiser, 'n Emerald-woordvoerder, sê dat die casino drastiese stappe gaan doen om hulle sekuriteit op te skerp om sodoende die veiligheid van hul kliënte te verseker.
Insp. Kinnie Steyn, ‘n polisiewoordvoerder, sê dat die roofbende uit sowat tien tot vyftien gewapende mans bestaan het.
“Die rowers het glo hekke oopgebreek om by die kluis uit te kom en het in drie voertuie met ‘n groot bedrag geld gevlug. Niemand is in die voorval beseer nie,” bevestig Steyn.
Die Vanderbijlpark-polisie het later dieselfde aand twee van die voertuie, ‘n swart Volkswagen Polo en ‘n wit Volkswagen Golf, wat in die rooftog gebruik is in SE4 opgespoor. Die Vanderbijlpark-polisie ondersoek ‘n saak van besigheidsroof.
