NOG 'N PLAAS VOORVAL
Die Heilbron Beheerkamer is gisteraand ongeveer 20:30 in kennis gestel van 'n voorval op die plaas Bloemhof van mnr. Johan van der Merwe. Mnr. van der Merwe is genadiglik nie beseer nie en dit nadat daar verskeie skote deur 'n kamer venster gevuur is.
Baie dankie aan die polisie met al die spesialis eenhede, wat baie vinnig op die toneel was.
Die vraag onstaan of die soort van gebeure iets te doen het met die mobilisering van mag vir die ANC Kongres wat Desember in Bloemfontein plaasvind en dit gaan toeneem?
Hierdie voorval benadruk weereens die dringende noodsaaklikheid van betroubare gemeenskap- en veiligheidstrukture.

‘Shoot the whites’ ANC cabinet, churchmen incite crowd
All day long on May 29 2012, millions of listeners across SA heard the banned ANC-hatespeech song Kill the Boer chanted by top black church leaders and ANC-cabinet members seen by millions in news-broadcasts: all this broohaha about Zuma’s penis is sweeping up the black population in a frenzy of hatespeech, as was seen outside Goodman’s gallery in Johannesburg yesterday…
Whites warned by SA cabinet ministers, all-powerful SA Communist Party leadership:
Yesterday’s siege at the Goodman gallery was led by ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe, flanked by co-ruling Cosatu trade union movement leaders Sdumo Dlamini and Zwelinzima Vavi and SA Communist Party leaderBlade Nzimande, Deputy Health Minister Gwen Ramokgopa and ANC national executive committee senior member Tony Yengeni. Dlamini and Vavi ditched their central executive committee meeting at Cosatu House to be at the march. COSATU president Sdumo Dlamini has lashed out at liberals saying they were using "spooks" like former president FW de Klerk to undermine the ANC leadership. Nzimande warned: “white liberals who are disrespecting us and to all whites, we are saying enough is enough." Some 5,000 demonstrators were counted and most were bused by the ANC from provinces including Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape. Some walked from nearby Zoo Lake to the gallery: - nhlabathih@sowetan.co.za http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2012/05/30/enough-is-enough-blade-tells-whites On May 30 2012 the Goodman gallery reneged – agreeing to take down the painting’s picture from their website – even though more than 3,900,000 websites worldwide by now all show that picture, according to Google today. However the SA cabinet still is not happy: they demand that the painting be destroyed altogether - and not allowed to leave South Africa: it was sold for R16,000 to a German investor.

Polisieman rand seun aan; dreig ouers
André Damons
’n DRONK polisieman en twee van sy dronk vriende het na bewering eers ’n rooi verkeerslig verontagsaam en byna ’n jong motorfietsryer getref en daarna die motorfietsryer voor die Batho-polisiekantoor aangerand.
Die besope polisieman het glo later ook by die polisiekantoor op Grant van der Westhuizen (19) en sy ouers gevloek en gedreig om hulle dood te maak.
Grant se ma, Hendrina, sê: “Hy het gesê ons is wit gemors en moet f*k*f. Hy was dronk en aggressief en het gesê hy gaan ons vrekmaak.
“Ek het gevrees vir ons lewe. Hoe kan hulle so werk? Hulle was dronk en het amper my seun doodgery en toe rand hulle hom nog aan ook. My seun is aangerand deur iemand wat ons moet beskerm. Geregtigheid moet geskied.”
Kapt. Rulene Kühn, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, sê twee klagte van aanranding en ’n klag van crimen injuria is teen ’n polisieman ingedien. Dit is na die Onafhanklike Polisie-ondersoekdirektoraat (Opod) verwys.
Grant, ’n werknemer van OFS Paneelkloppers, sê hy was eergisteraand omstreeks 19:00 op pad huis toe, toe die bakkie naby die Batho-polisiekantoor die verkeerslig verontagsaam en voor hom ingejaag het.
“Ek het by die Batho-polisiekantoor stilgehou toe twee van die mans by my kom staan.
“Een het gesê ek het sy ma gevloek, wat ek nie gedoen het nie. Hulle het my hande op my motorfiets vasgedruk, my valhelm afgehaal en my begin slaan.”
Hy het losgeruk, weggery en sy ma ’n ent van die polisiekantoor af gebel.
Hy en sy ouers is na die polisiekantoor om na die dronk polisieman-bestuurder van die bakkie te soek. Dit is toe dat hulle gevloek, beledig en met die dood gedreig is, sê hulle.
Hendrina sê sy sal nooit die uitdrukking op haar kind se gesig kan verwerk nadat hy aangerand is nie. “Ek kan enigiets verwerk, maar nie dit nie. Hy het verward gelyk en vanoggend (gisteroggend) was sy oë vol trane.”

Moord op dagmoeder, baba: 2 vas
Buks Viljoen
Twee mans is in verband met die moord op ’n baba en sy dagmoeder van Delmas vasgetrek terwyl ’n derde, vermoedelik die ware moordenaar, die polisie net-net ontglip het.
Die twee is eergisteraand in Daveyton aan die Oos-Rand gearresteer.
Die polisie het ’n rooi sak met die woorde “Bokkie Toer 2003” daarop by hulle gekry waarin juwele van Margrietha de Goede (66), die dagmoeder, en ’n bebloede groen oorpakbaadjie was.
Sy en Wiehan Botes (vyf maande) is verlede Woensdag in De Goede se huis verwurg.
Die taakspan van die Middelburgse polisie se eenheid teen georganiseerde misdaad het eergisteraand kort ná 20:00 op ’n huis toegeslaan nadat hulle ’n selfoonsein gevolg het.
Hulle het ’n selfoon wat by De Goede gesteel is, daar gekry. Die voortvlugtige se SIM-kaart was in die foon, maar hy het weggekom.
Twee ander verdagtes, 44 en 54 jaar oud, is kort daarna by ’n ander huis aangekeer. Hulle word onder meer van die besit van gesteelde eiendom aangekla.
Kol. Leonard Hlathi, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê De Goede se tuinier, Themba Ephraim Mahlangu (29), kan hulle moontlik met die ondersoek help.

- Hijack victim Ryan Pickford, who had his car taken by the blue-light gang terrorising Joburgers, has raised a R100000 reward for the first person who can offer information that can help catch and convict the cops helping the suspects.
Pickford, who was hijacked just more than a week ago, has joined forces with his sister Brenda Ross to launch an awareness campaign, urging other victims to come forward.And they are offering R100 000 as a reward for anyone who can help nab the police assisting the gang that is terrorising the northern and eastern suburbs.
THERE ARE CORRUPT COPS: ADMITS SAPS:
Last week, top police officials announced that a series of hijackings by 'police impersonators' were connected, and that the syndicate must be receiving help from corrupt police officers who provide them with uniforms, bulletproof vests, blue lights and R5 police-issue rifles.
Police confirmed five separate incidents of drivers being falsely arrested and kidnapped by fully uniformed men driving a white Golf GTI fitted with blue lights in the past two weeks alone, with other incidents still being reported. In each case, the victims were stopped by the “police”, and driven across the city in their cars before being dumped – mostly unharmed.
HARASSED, HAD HIS CAR 'SEARCHED', HANDCUFFED, TAKEN TO BLUE-LIGHT VEHICLE:
Pickford had been to visit his wife and newborn son at Morningside Clinic and was on his way home when he was pulled over by men claiming to be police officers. After being harassed and having his car searched for a few minutes, Pickford was ordered to get out of his car.He was then handcuffed by the officers in full uniform, armed with R5 rifles and handguns.They led him to their car, and another man drove off in Pickford’s Porsche Cayenne.Once he was seated on the back seat of the blue-light vehicle, Pickford was informed that this was a hijacking.He was held at gunpoint for almost an hour and a half and verbally harassed before the hijackers dropped him off in a veld in Centurion.
Since the kidnapping, Pickford and his sister Ross have approached – and been approached by – dozens of concerned citizens and companies who want to help put the syndicate behind bars. Their new organisation, ENOUGH!, was formed to combat police corruption, abuse and harassment.
Ross said the organisation planned to help equip citizens with the tools they needed to exercise their rights when dealing with police and create a platform where victims of police abuse could share their experiences without fear of retribution.
ENOUGH! has received support from other crime-fighting campaigns – Justice Project SA and eBlockwatch – and has raised the growing reward for the successful arrest and conviction of the police officers who have helped the syndicate.
“If we can save another family from going through the same ordeal, we’ve done our job,” Ross told The Star.“For the rest of his life, Ryan won’t ever be able to drive without looking over his shoulder.
"Trusting police is becoming impossible, and we want to help drivers to know their rights,” she said.
Their website, http://www.enough.co.za, will be going live later this week, but their Facebook group (facebook.com/enoughsa) has already built up a dedicated following since its launch last week.
Gauteng police’s head of visible policing, Major General Phumzo Gela, warned Joburgers against pulling over in deserted areas, especially by police officers in unmarked vehicles.
Gela said that it was well within a driver’s right to drive to the nearest police station when being pursued by police vehicles – marked or unmarked. Police officers were also obligated to show their identity cards when asked for them.
ENOUGH!’s first initiative is to distribute car stickers with the slogan: “This vehicle only stops at police stations. You are welcome to follow me there!”
But Pickford and Ross believe that extra incentive will be needed to convict the men responsible and have offered the large reward.
Anyone with queries or information on the police officers involved can e-mail info@enough. co.za

Vrou doodgeskiet deur ontsnapte gevangenes
Johannesburg – ‘n Vrou is Woensdag doodgeskiet nadat vier verhoorafwagtende gevangenes uit polisie-aanhouding ontsnap het terwyl hulle na Mthatha vervoer is, het die polisie in die Oos-Kaap gesê.
Die vier mans is van die Ngquana-polisiekantoor na Mthatha geneem toe hulle die polisiebeampte wat oor hul moes wag hou in Butterworth oorweldig het, het kapt. Ernest Sigobe gesê.
“Hulle het drie polisie-vuurwapens gevat. ‘n Verbyganger (die vrou) is toe doodgeskiet,” het hy gesê.
Die vier mans, wat verhoorafwagtend is vir gewapende roof en die besit van onwettige vuurwapens en ammunisie, het tussen 10:00 en 11:00 ontsnap.
Die mans het die polisievoertuig gesteel wat hulle vervoer het en het dit later in die Tanga-gebied verlaat. Hulle het toe ‘n verbygaande motor gekaap. Hulle word nog deur die polisie gesoek.

Boer geslaan, foto's by lyk geneem
Buks Viljoen
’n Boer van Wakkerstroom in Mpumalanga is gister aangerand, as gyselaar gehou en saam met ’n lyk afgeneem deur mense wat sonder toestemming ’n begrafnis op sy plaas wou hou.
Hendrik Davel (34) van die plaas Sterkfontein is gisteroggend deur ’n groep ontstoke begrafnisgangers aangeval toe hy navraag gaan doen het oor die begrafnis.
Sy broer, Sakkie (38), het hom probeer help, maar is ook aangerand en as gyselaar geneem.
Blykbaar wou die mense wat in ’n stat op die plaas woon, maar nie self op die plaas werk nie, ’n vrou daar begrawe.
Die vrou is Sondag in Johannesburg dood.
Hendrik Davel het vroeër die week aan ’n afvaardiging van die oorledene se familie gesê hulle kan haar nie op die plaas begrawe nie omdat sy in Johannesburg gewoon en gewerk het.
Gisteroggend het hy gesien ’n tent is by die stat opgeslaan.
Toe hy navraag daaroor doen, is hy aangerand en vasgebind.
Hy is toe langs die vrou se lyk laat sit en foto’s is van hom geneem.
Hierna is hy in ’n ander hut aangehou.
Toe sy broer hom probeer help, is hy ook aangerand en vasgebind.
Sy 9?mm-pistool is ook gesteel. Die wapen is later deur die polisie teruggevind.
Verskeie boere van die omgewing is intussen na die toneel ontbied om die saak te beredder.
By die polisie se aankoms is die Davels vrygelaat.
Kapt. Alf Ueckermann, bevelvoerder van die polisie op die dorp, het bevestig klagte van aanranding en diefstal word ondersoek.
’n Boer van Wakkerstroom in Mpumalanga is gister aangerand, as gyselaar gehou en saam met ’n lyk afgeneem deur mense wat sonder toestemming ’n begrafnis op sy plaas wou hou.
Hendrik Davel (34) van die plaas Sterkfontein is gisteroggend deur ’n groep ontstoke begrafnisgangers aangeval toe hy navraag gaan doen het oor die begrafnis.
Sy broer, Sakkie (38), het hom probeer help, maar is ook aangerand en as gyselaar geneem.
Blykbaar wou die mense wat in ’n stat op die plaas woon, maar nie self op die plaas werk nie, ’n vrou daar begrawe.
Die vrou is Sondag in Johannesburg dood.
Hendrik Davel het vroeër die week aan ’n afvaardiging van die oorledene se familie gesê hulle kan haar nie op die plaas begrawe nie omdat sy in Johannesburg gewoon en gewerk het.
Gisteroggend het hy gesien ’n tent is by die stat opgeslaan.
Toe hy navraag daaroor doen, is hy aangerand en vasgebind.
Hy is toe langs die vrou se lyk laat sit en foto’s is van hom geneem.
Hierna is hy in ’n ander hut aangehou.
Toe sy broer hom probeer help, is hy ook aangerand en vasgebind.

Babamoord skok
Gerhard Pretorius en Piet Matipa
Die kind waarop ’n egpaar van Delmas agt jaar lank gewag het, is gister saam met sy dagmoeder vermoor – skaars vyf maande ná sy geboorte.
Die polisie, familie en inwoners van die dorp in Mpumalanga het gister in Geldenhuysstraat saamgetrek waar baba Wiehan Botes en Margrietha de Goede (66) albei vermoedelik verwurg is.
Wiehan was die seuntjie van Wiets en Rieta Botes.
Cobus Fourie, ’n lid van die plaaslike buurtwag, het gister op die toneel vertel dat hulle by dié huis gaan ondersoek instel het nadat Rieta Botes hulle laat weet het De Goede antwoord nie haar telefoon nie.
“Ons moes ’n venster breek om toegang tot die huis te kry. Ons het ’n huilende 18 maande oue baba in ’n bababed gekry,” het Fourie gesê.
Díé baba is ook deur De Goede opgepas en is die kind van ’n ander ouerpaar.
Fourie het gesê daar was geen teken van die dagmoeder of Wiehan nie en hulle het na dié twee begin soek.
Sowat 30 minute later het hulle Wiehan se lykie onder ’n bed in ’n slaapkamer gevind. Beeld het verneem daar was wurgmerke aan sy nek.
Fourie het gesê hulle het De Goede se lyk ’n uur later onder ’n mat in ’n buite-stoorkamer gevind.
Beeld verneem daar was ook wurgmerke aan haar keel en bloed aan haar kop, waar ’n besering sigbaar was.
Kol. Leonard Hlathi, polisiewoordvoerder in Mpumalanga, het gesê ’n grootskaalse soektog na die moordenaars is aan die gang.
“Ons is op die spoor van mense wat moontlik inligting het oor die moord,” het Hlathi gesê.
Ds. Gawie Snyman van die NG kerk Delmas-Wes, waar die Botes-gesin en De Goede lidmate is, het gesê dié moorde het die hele gemeenskap geruk.
“Dis ’n klein dorpie en ons almal lewe baie na aan mekaar. Mense ken mekaar goed en dié moord is ’n gruwelike gebeurtenis in dié gemeenskap.
“Daar is baie onbeantwoorde vrae oor wat die motief vir die moorde was en ons as die gemeenskap soek antwoorde en wil wéét wie hierdie gru-moorde gepleeg het.”
De Goede se twee dogters, Dina White en Maretha Gunther, het hulle van Marble Hall en Bela-Bela (Warmbad) gehaas toe hulle die nuus ontvang het dat hul ma vermis word.
Cobus Roos, ’n kollega van White wat haar van Marble Hall af gebring het, het gesê White het onderweg na Delmas, net voor Bronkhorstspruit, die tyding gekry dat haar ma vermoor is.
“Dina is ’n emosionele wrak. ’n Yskoue rilling het deur my gegaan toe ons die nuus in die kar gekry het. Watter soort mens doen dit – vermoor ’n ou tannie en ’n klein kind in ’n huis? Dit is siek!” het Roos gesê.
Toe White by haar ma se huis aankom, het iemand De Goede se hondjie, Vlekkie, aan haar gegee. Sy het die hond huilend vasgehou.
Jean Kotze (15), wat voorheen deur De Goede opgepas is, het gesê sy was vir hom soos ’n ouma. “Ek is baie hartseer en voel leeg.”
Jean se ma, Polla Kotze, het gesê dat De Goede ’n fantastiese mens was. “Sy was ’n groot Christen.”

Woman and baby killed in Delmas
Johannesburg - A day-mother and a five-month-old baby boy were found strangled in Delmas on Wednesday, Mpumalanga police said.
The mother of the baby repeatedly telephoned the 66-year-old woman’s house and, when there was no answer, went to see if something was wrong, said Colonel Leonard Hlathi.
She arrived to find the doors locked and heard an 18-month-old girl crying inside. She broke a window to get into the house, said Hlathi.
The day-mother's body was found under a carpet in an outside room. The baby's body was found under a bed in the main house.
Both appeared to have been strangled, said Hlathi.
The motive for the killings was not known. - Sapa

Dogters hoor hoe pa sterf
André Damons
SKAARS twee weke ná die inhegtenisneming van vier lede van ’n vermeende panga-rowerbende wat ’n skrikbewind in die suide van Bloemfontein gevoer het, is ’n pa van twee jong kinders aan die ander kant van die stad wreed deur vier mans met kapmesse in sy huis vermoor.
Frans Day (38), ’n werktuigkundige wat onlangs van Boksburg af verhuis het, is Vrydag omstreeks middernag in sy huis in Navalsig vermoor.
Drie van sy moordenaars was met kapmesse gewapen en die vierde met ’n pistool.
Die Day-gesin is minstens die sewende gesin wat die laaste maande in die Rosestad deur mans met pangas in hul huise aangeval is.
Frans se vrou, Tanja (36), en hul jong dogters, Kaytlinn (5) en Nicole (10), se hande is vasgebind, hul monde toegeplak en hulle is in ’n hangkas in die hoofslaapkamer, waar hy vermoor is, geprop.
Sy vrou, wat nou vir haar en haar kinders se lewe vrees, sê hulle moes in die kas hoor hoe word hy vermoor. Hy is verskeie kere met die kapmesse gekap.
“Die een (aanvaller) het gesê: ‘All we need is money and sex’. Hy het later gesê: ‘Kom ons verkrag die vrou en kinders en maak hulle eerste dood.’
“My man het opgespring om ons te beskerm en is toe aangeval.
“My man het die heeltyd geskreeu: ‘Is julle orraait, is julle orraait.’
“Ek weet nie hoekom hulle hom vermoor het nie. Hy was ’n vreedsame mens wat nooit baklei het nie.”
Sy sê die mans het in ’n stadium in Afrikaans vir haar man gesê hy dink hy is slim. Sy weet nie of haar man vroeër in ’n onderonsie met die mans betrokke was nie.
Tanja en haar twee dogters is later deur die bure uit die kas bevry.
Haar man het dood in ’n plas bloed langs die bed gelê.
Tanja sê sy vrees nou vir hul lewe omdat die mans gedreig het om terug te kom.
Een van hulle se woorde was: “We will be back soon.”
Tanja sê hulle het hierheen verhuis omdat haar man ’n beter werk gekry het. Sy wil egter nou terug na Gauteng.
Die mans het die vermoorde Frans se motor, selfoon en geld geroof.
Tanja sê later in die Navalsig-polisiekantoor het sy ’n foto van een van haar man se vermeende moordenaars teen ’n muur sien hang.
Sy het die polisie ingelig.)Vier Mosambiekers, Ntuli Athus, Pangele Anthonio, Zulu Mahlabe en Zunguza Samuel, almal in hul vroeë twintigs, is vroeër vandeesmaand in hegtenis geneem ná die soveelste panga-aanval in die suidelike woonbuurte.
Mnr. Johan Meyer (56) van Durban, wat by sy vriendin in haar meenthuis in Fleurdal gekuier het, is in ’n inbraak wreed met ’n panga en mes aangeval en erg beseer.
Kind (5) stom ná gebeure
NÁ die moord op haar pa is ’n vyfjarige meisie só getraumatiseer dat sy nog nie weer ’n woord gepraat het nie.
Klein Kaytlinn Day (5) het eerste haar vermoorde pa, Frans, in ’n plas bloed sien lê nadat sy en haar ma, Tanja (36), en ouer suster, Nicole (10), bevry is uit die hangkas waarin die moordenaars hulle toegesluit het.
Kaytlinn staar net voor haar uit en sê niks nie. Sy wil ook nie eet nie, sê haar ma.
“Ek is baie bekommerd oor haar. Ek dink dit is omdat sy haar pa eerste gesien het.
“Jy kan met haar praat, maar sy kyk nie na jou nie.”
Tanja sê haar oudste dogter vra na haar pa.
Hy was hul held, vertel sy.
“As kinders hulle altyd gevra het wie hul pa is, het hulle gesê Superman is hul pa.”
Tanja sê hulle wil terugtrek Gauteng toe, maar het nie geld vir buskaartjies nie.
“Ons het nie eens geld vir kos of krag nie.”
Vrou leef in vrees
TANJA DAY leef in vrees vir die mans wat haar man, Frans, met pangas doodgekap het.
Die moordenaars het gesê hulle kom terug, sê sy.
“Ek kry nie my huis se sleutels nie, nou pak ek goed teen die deure om dit moeilik vir hulle te maak om in te kom.
“Ons slaap nie in die aande nie. Ek vrees vir ons lewe.”
Sy sê sy kry vreemde oproepe van ’n mens wat geluide maak en dieselfde woorde herhaal.
“Hy het gesê: ‘Blood, blood, blood’ en toe ‘Come back, come back’.”

Hell breaks out in Heilbron: ten fires within few days: nursery, homes, cars, library torched: no motives: all properties belong to Afrikaners
Description
HELL BREAKS OUT IN HEILBRON; TEN FIRES SET WITHIN A FEW DAYS: NURSERY, HOMES, CARS TORCHED - ALL THE TORCHED PROPERTIES BELONG TO AFRIKANERS.
-----------
Fires were set at ten different places in Heilbron in past 2 days - the police and community are pleading for help on Facebook to help 'fight the hell which has broken out'. Fears are that the arsonists will not be caught: Agri-SA spokesmen said they were still investigating the mystery-fires, and the news media have been unable to get any explanations from the local SAPS: Heilbron Phone: 058-8535245 Fax: 058-8521170.
The Heilbron Herald reports that on Tuesday night a car belonging to the local pharmacist Jolene Herbst was torched; that same night a fire was set at TrenTyre in which a car was burnt out. Early Thursday-morning eight different fires were set: at a guesthouse in Heil Street two vehicles were set alight: an Isuzu bakkie and Honda Ballade were completely burned out. Around the same time a local plant-nursery raised the fire alarm: arsonists threw burning material through a window. Fortunately the building was saved.
A thatched-roof building was also set alight but didn't burn: people often don't realise that old, closely-packed thatch roofs do not contain any oxygen and do not burn nearly as easily as is believed.
Several private homes, a hardware shop, the library and a petrol-station also were torched. All were suspected arson, and no thefts or robbery-attacks were reported in these incidents.
Rumours are that children are often seen running from the sites after fires were started, but nobody has been able to confirm this by catching them. It's also not clear what the motives of these criminals are nor in most cases, what their exact methods are to start the fires with.
The Heilbron police has not responded to requests by Maroela Media to respond to the fires which are terrifying local residents.

Malvern woman, 92, tied up, found half-naked, dead surrounded by pics of her family, lived in same house for 70 years
Description
Malvern woman, 92, found tied up, murdered, was half-naked, police believe the old lady was also raped - surrounded by pictures of her family, lived in home 70 years...
"There was dry blood on her mouth and it seemed like she had been strangled. It is also believed that she was raped. We are investigating this. The house was also in a mess with drawers that were ripped out and clothes lying on the floor,” said Const Mashakane.
May 18 2012 MALVERN, Johannesburg. Beeld journalists Louise Ferreira and Jani Meyer report that the body of a 92-year-old white woman was found, tied up and murdered.
The woman had lived in this home for 70 years. She was found murdered in the living room amongst the photographs of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The heart-rending discovery was made by a neighbour on Wednesday, who went to investigate after her family contacted him, worried about not hearing anything from her.
Her name is being withheld until all her family have been notified. Her grandson said from Durban that his grandmother
had been very dapper (op en wakker) and even still mowed her own lawn.
"She was small and relatively frail, but dignified and houseproud. She was a real lady.
"Whenever she went shopping she put a scarf around her hair, put on a broche and catch the bus to the shops'.
She had been attacked twice in the past six months in her home in Persimmon Street.
Both times she was tied up. "We installed an alarm with an emergency button and installed a pallisade-fence two months ago.
The family tried to convince her to move to a safer place, but she refused.'
"We are told that four black men were involved in the attack on her day before yesterday.
"We presume they took everything left of any value. Her body was found in the living room where she was surrounded by pictures of her children, great- and great-great-grandchildren'.
The Cleveland SAPS investigates: w/o Patrick Raletsimo can be contacted at 083 582 2664.

Six police officers in three vans arrived to arrest Ivan Montgomery after false claim that his dogs had bitten a girl
Description
An elderly white SA man, Ivan Montgomery, from Universitas in Bloemfontein, Free State, was arrested by six police officers who arrived at high speed in front of his house, stormed in, arrested him, and locked in a police cell with 20 other criminals - because it was alleged his dog had bitten a 'little girl". The next day, he was taken to the court in leg-irons. The public prosecutor refused to place his case on the court-log and Mr Montgomery was released by the court. There were no apologies from the police.
A week before the arrest, "a man and a little girl" came to his house and stated that one of his dogs bit the little girl. She had three stitches on her inner thigh. He said that it could not have been his dogs, since his two little dogs always were locked inside his yard and there was no possibility they could have escaped.
On the day of his arrest, THREE POLICE VEHICLES, WITH SIX POLICEMEN arrived at his house. He was arrested and taken to the Parkway Police Station and locked up in a cell with 20 serious offenders.
The next day HE WAS TAKEN TO COURT IN LEG-IRONS. The prosecutor for the State decided not to prosecute and he was released, without appearing in court.
Mr Montgomery was severely traumatized by the experience - one which he did not deserve.
His lawyer has confirmed that they are preparing to sue the Police.
Capt. Chaka Marope, police spokesperson said they are investigating the incident and will comment later.

A light-skinned man's body has been found on the banks of the Tongaat river, near Brake Village on May 16 2012. PICTURE ATTACHED
Two men who were searching for scrap metal in a sugar cane field spotted clothing and what they feared was a body on the banks of the Tongaat river near Brake Village on Monday. Terrified, the men ran away and went to the road where they stopped Kenny Govender, an officer of Reaction Unit South Africa, who just happened to pass by en-route to central Tongaat. He accompanied the men to the scene. The men told Govender that on Sunday, at about 2PM, they were collecting scrap metal in a sugar cane field, near Brake Village. They spotted the clothes in the water and fled the scene out of fear.
Head of RUSA, Prem Balram said, “Officer Govender travelled approximately 500 meters on a dirt road towards the river where he noticed a body in the water.
"He then called for further assistance and more reaction officers responded. The officers then walked along the river and found a body lying in the water.

Boewe met blou lig kaap talle motoriste
Jani Meyer
’n Bende bloulig-rowers het die afgelope twee weke agt keer in Gauteng toegeslaan en motoriste gekaap.
Genl.-maj. Phumzo Gela, waarnemende Gautengse polisiekommissaris, het gister op ’n mediakonferensie gesê die modus operandi is dieselfde.
“Daar is tussen drie en vyf mans, gewoonlik in ’n wit (VW) Golf, met ’n blou lig op die dak. Hulle is in uniform en is gewapen.”
In die onlangse voorvalle is drie motoriste in Midrand, een in Garsfontein in Pretoria, een in Sandton, een in Honeydew en een in Olivienhoutbosch gekaap.
Gela het gesê die moontlikheid dat sommige van die mans wel in die polisie is, kan nie uitgesluit word nie.
“Ons het die afgelope 18 maande 600 lede van die polisie in Gauteng gearresteer.”
Hy het gesê daar is korrupte beamptes, maar hulle is ’n klein minderheid.
Gela het motoriste gewaarsku om nié af te trek indien hulle onveilig voel nie.
“Polisie op patrollie ry in duidelik gemerkte voertuie. Daar is gewoonlik twee lede in die voertuig, nie drie of vyf nie.”
Indien ’n motoris deur ’n ongemerkte voertuig afgetrek word, moet hulle na die naaste polisiekantoor ry.
“As daar nie een naby is nie, kan hulle byvoorbeeld na ’n dienssentrum of plek waar daar heelwat mense is, ry. As dit ’n wetsgehoorsame beampte is, sal hy jou volg.”
Gela het gesê die publiek het die reg om ’n polisiebeampte te vra vir sy identifikasie en hulle behoort ’n naamplaatjie te dra.
Dit is ook belangrik om so gou moontlik die voorval aan te meld sodat die regte polisie op die uitkyk vir die gekaapte voertuig kan wees.
“Bel 10111, gaan na die naaste polisiekantoor of bel die sektorpolisie. Maak seker dat die inligting en beskrywing van die kapers so gou moontlik gesirkuleer word. Sommige mense maak eers die volgende dag of ’n paar uur later ’n klag aanhangig.”

Vrou bid, rower sterf kort daarna
Susan Cilliers
Terwyl ’n rower ’n vrou op ’n plaas in Noordwes gewurg het, het hy gesê sy moet ophou skree “Here help my” omdat hy nie “daai woorde” wil hoor nie.
Charlotte Strumpher het die aanval Saterdagaand met net erge kneuswonde oorleef, maar Ontiretse Marumo (42), een van haar twee aanvallers, is kort daarna dood toe die gesteelde Ford Bantam-bakkie waarin hy en sy makker gevlug het, gerol het.
Tshokolo Sethepo (18) het van die wrak af gevlug, maar is gearresteer nadat sy ouers hom na die polisie geneem het, het brig. Thulane Ngubane, kommunikasiehoof van die polisie in Noordwes, gesê.
’n Buurman, wat anoniem wil bly, het gister vertel Strumpher was alleen op haar en haar man se plaas tussen Zeerust en Lichtenburg toe twee rowers haar Saterdagaand oorval het. Sy is geslaan, geskop en gewurg.
Strumpher se man, Johan, was op die buurplaas waar hy die rugbywedstryd tussen die Stormers en Cheetahs gekyk het. Albei is in hul 60’s.
Hennie Steenkamp, bestuurder van die Wilmed-hospitaal in Klerksdorp, het gister vertel Johan Strumpher het aan hom gesê hy het onrustig gevoel en is halftyd terug huis toe.
Die Strumphers is in dié hospitaal behandel en is gister ontslaan.
Volgens Steenkamp het Johan Strumpher aan hom vertel die huis was in chaos en boeke en papiere het oral rondgelê toe hy daar aankom.
Hy het na sy vrou geroep, maar sy het net flou geantwoord.
“Hy het gevrees sy is siek of het ’n hartaanval gehad, maar die rowers het hom ingewag,” het Steenkamp vertel.
Die rowers het Johan Strumpher met ’n wapen en pyp geslaan en met blompotte gegooi.
Hy het verskeie snywonde opgedoen en die huis was glo vol bloed.
Hy het die rowers tot in die kombuis gevolg waar hulle hom met pepersproei gespuit het.
Die sproei het aan ’n toutjie in die kombuis gehang ingeval Charlotte Strumpher dit nodig sou kry.
Johan Strumpher kon intussen ’n rewolwer wat hy versteek het in die hande kry. Hy het skote afgevuur, waarna die rowers in sy bakkie gevlug het.

Richard Duxbury, 35, shot dead on M5 Durban by alleged 'trucker road-rager' Feb 29 2012: accused in court
Description
Richard Duxbury, 35, was shot dead in his bakkie by an alleged "trucker-road rager" on Feb 29 2012 on the M5 southbound Durban road. ON May 9 2012, truck driver Mohammed Cassim Abdul Suther appeared in court for the murder. His legal counsel said Suther, who is facing several charges had 'fled the scene unaware that anyone had been shot". In an affidavit read out by his lawyer during the bail application hearing in the Durban Magistrate’s Court last Friday, Mr Suther said he had "accidentally shot Richard Duxbury (35) in self-defence on February 29."
Mr Suther claims to have been confronted and attacked by two men on the M4 southbound after a bakkie had swerved in front of his truck. The court heard that as Mr Suther approached a bend on the freeway, he saw two men holding what looked like ‘stakes or clubs’ standing in the middle of his lane, signalling him to stop. He was forced to stop and the two men jumped on to the truck, one at the driver’s door and the other at the passenger door.
Mr Suther said the men tried to hit him while he was still seated inside the cab. He pulled out his gun, saying: ‘I have a gun, now leave me alone’. However, according to Mr Suther, while he was pointing the firearm at the man on his right, the one to his left hit his hand, causing the gun to go off.The men, according to the statement, had 'jumped off the truck' and Mr Suther drove off.
However, Public prosecutor Shaina Naidoo said Mr Suther "had also fired shots at a car that had been trailing him after the incident". She added that "Mr Suther did not report the incident nor that a shot had been fired to the police or to his employer." Naidoo also said that Mr Suther 'did not come forward after the incident, despite extensive exposure in the media". Ms Naidoo also argued that if given bail, Mr Suther may abscond."
Never get out of your car and confront an angry driver, warned his sister GILLIAN JONES, on her facebook page. "He shot my brother in the head...'

Unarmed Stephen Coetzee, 22, murdered in his driveway Umdoni Grove, Warner Beach, Amanzimtoti
Description
THE murder of Stephen Coetzee, 22, an Afrikaner motorbike enthusiast from Amanzimtoti in KZN, has sparked outrage in the south Durban suburb.
----------------------------
Mandy Singleton wrote on the Toti-Crime facebook page: -- " An update on the late Steven Coetzee to stop the malicious rumours making the rounds....On Friday, 11 May, my son, Jacques, went to his friend Steven Coetzee's house, about 2 blocks away from where we stay. About 15 minutes later (17H30) I received a call from Jacques.
He was hysterical and all he said was “Get an ambulance, Steven has been shot and is lying bleeding between my feet I phoned the SAP in Toti………………No-one answered I phoned 911 …………….. I received a lecture about how illegal it is for a MTN user to misuse this number .. I eventually hung up as I could no longer listen to the droning voice, stating the obvious, with obviously no intention of connecting me to a “human” I phone 10111……….. I was given some options (press 1 for an emergency, press 2 for blablabla….) I pressed one and listened to some music until I felr that my head will explode and put the phone down. Then I started the entire process again, but at the same time getting my father to phone from his phone…..any emergency number he could possible find………….. he too had no luck In-between calls I phoned my daughter to also try and get hold of someone. To make a long, agonising, horrible story short, the ambulance is still to come………. One police vehicle pitched up when the paramedic from Netcare that my daughter happens to know and phoned in desperation, picked up something about the incident on their radio’s……
Anyway, I needed to tell you the above as I need you to be aware of the fact that “WE ARE ON OUR OWN”… there is ZERO hep for us out there, so do not be fooled.After waiting for help for nearly 30 minutes, Steven was taken to hospital with a car by Jacques and two neigbours. He died after 2 hours. He was 23, finished his studies last year, started working this year and had big plans for the future.I sat in the bus this morning listening to the distorted versions of what happened, so here is true story, for those interested. Jacques got to Steven’s house and they went to the garage behind the house, where the always fooled around with an old Volkswagen Steven was “building up” His father, Steven Snr, joined them. At 17H30 a man came strolling casually up the driveway and around the corner to where the 3 were standing. They were quite surprised and Steven Snr asked the man if they can be of assistance to him or if he is looking for someone maybe……….. The man pulled out a gun and waved it in the the faces of the 3, instructing them to still and to stand still. Which they did. At the same time, while they had the gun in their faces, another 2 men strolled up the driveway and headed to the backdoor which is about 3 meters away. Steven Snr’s girlfriend, his young son and his girlfriend’s 5 year old daughter was in the house.Seeing them going towards his house and family, Steven Snr OBVIOUSLY panicked as we all know what would have happened next if they were allowed to enter the house unobstructed, he picked up a “tool”, similar to a crow bar and threw it towards the 2 men entering the house.The two men, surprised that they are actually being confronted, turned away from the front door and ran down the driveway. The gunman kept the gun pointed at the 3 men but also ran backwards down the driveway.When a “bang” was heard, the three ”victims” started walking forward to see what is happening. The garage is around the corner, so the driveway is not visible from there.What they saw was this:
Two men ran and got into a Silver Toyota Verso that was parked on the opposite side of the road.
One man was already in the driver’s seat and one man in the passenger’s seat of Steven Snr’s car. (Which he only got about 3 months ago after his previous car was HIJACKED!!!)The gunman was in the boot of the car.The “bang” that was heard was as a result of the driver reversing into a small step and bursting the back tyre.At this time Steven Snr ran to the car and trapped the man behind the wheel. Steven Jnr was next to reach the car.
At this stage the gunman got out of the boot and point blank shot Steven Jnr through the head.They all ran away.
I am going to spare you the details as they are more horrible than you can ever imagine.Apart from losing a boy that was like a son to me, I now have a son that can “crack” at any moment. Please, do not be in denial, no-one is safe in this country now. Not even in your own house or back-yard...
Rest in peace Steven! https://www.facebook.com/mandy.singleton

Hundreds of residents met on Monday May 15 2012 to discuss ways to tackle 'crime'.
Stephen Coetzee, 22, was shot dead outside his home on Friday evening as he was fixing his car.
A group of black males approached him in his driveway in Umdoni Grove, Warner Beach, and threatened Coetzee with a gun before trying to steal his Ford Fiesta.
However the black driver of the gang's vehicle then reversed into a wall, at which point Coetzee threw a spanner at them. He was shot in the head. He was taken to Kingsway Hospital and died later that day. No arrests had been made. About 300 residents met yesterday and, assisted by the private Crime Community Prevention Organisation (CCPO), put together a petition which will be handed to the area's police station commander. Ward councillor Andre Beetge said if hadn't been for private law enforcement agencies' "tremendous difference" there would be "anarchy". He called for greater community participation in fighting crime. Beetge urged residents to get involved in fighting crime, but emphasised that they should not take the law into their own hands.
"What they should do is turn the talk into action by getting to know their neighbours and acquainting themselves with their immediate environment." "People always think: 'It's not going to happen to me,' " said Quinton Rutherford, a CCPO committee member. "Hijacking is not the only problem;
housebreakings are also a problem."

Krugersdorp Afrikaner business community collapsing: families moving to Coronation Park squatter camp
Description
Krugersdorp Afrikaner squatter camp: the daily battle for survival has become a grinding way of life
------------------
May 11 2012 - Suffering from a decade of chronic malnutrition and disease, the -- by now infamous Afrikaner squatter camp residents in Krugersdorp – who won their widely-publicised battle with the ANC-municipality against forced removal -- now has divided into two factions with two strong leaders in an uneasy truce.
In a news update by local carers who visit the camp they also noted that local Afrikaner business people are failing and moving their families into the camp as well.
- After their battle stop the local ANC-regime from forcibly removing them, the camp residents now have split into two factions: One faction is run by ‘Willem’ who uses the Christian Communal Survival approach, whereby all the residents share the daily cash they earn from odd jobs and selling homemade items, buy their food together, cook in a communal kitchen and pray together each morning for courage to survive another day…
--- Alet (GoudveldGriffon@gmail.com ) writes: “I was at the squatter camp near Krugersdorp and send some new photos. Not many of the people themselves, just their dwellings. I think all the Afrikaners living in the camp are sick and tired of being photographed all the time. I went with Gideon Van Deventer gideon8steps@telkomsa.net of Riebeeckstad who has started several projects to help people become self-sufficient by making fire-lighters, t-shirts and ragdolls: the Heavenly Christian Tees project: http://www.heavenlychristiantees.co.za/cp/10023/fig-leaf-raggedies
FLASHBACK: The Afrikaner squatters’ battles with the Krugersdorp ANC-council were recorded by many international journalists, amongst them the Australian photo-journalist Dean Saffron
Today, the municipality no longer ‘hassles’ the Afrikaners, also because a group of black squatters has taken up occupancy in one corner of the former municipal campsite, writes Alet of Goudveld Griffon. She visited the camp two days ago with Gideon van Deventer of Riebeeckstad and sent us this latest update.
Gideon van Deventer says he looks for people with 'fire' who can be taught to become self-supporting. He launched several projects: residents are making firelighters, t-shirts and ragdolls to sell.
--------------
Business people moving in their families from wealthier part of town:
Alet reports that the demographics of the camp have also changed dramatically: previously, most camp residents were low-wage, low-education working class Afrikaners, many ex-mineworkers and fired railway employees who lost their jobs because of the ANC’s black-economic-empowerment laws which bar whites from the job market.
- Now, new arrivals show the steady decline of the Afrikaner business community: with the ANC-regime barring any business without black CEOs from doing business, newly destitute ex-businessmen from a wealthy Krugersdorp suburb now also are moved in with their young families: two men are terminally ill with cancer and go to the local public hospital for chemo-treatment each month. One little girl’s mom has already died: now she faces losing her dad too.
- Two factions –two very different approaches to survival:
Alet notes that the two factions amongst the Afrikaners use two very different approaches to survive each day: One group demands that all the donations of food and cash go to their leader Irene Abbott (sister of the boxer) and her partner; the other group headed by ‘Willem’ is approaching their grinding povery in the communal-Christian way: teaming up and sharing their cash earned each day and sharing their food – women sew items to sell such as t-shirts and ragdolls; the men go out to earn cash with odd jobs each day and to sell homemade items – and with the cash buy food to share out amongs them all. This group – denied access to the only electricity-point by the Abbott clan - cook their food in an open communal kitchen and hold prayer meetings each morning to give them courage for the day ahead. They made a home-made boiler called a ‘donkie’ (below) to boil their water on. And they’ve scrounged some old-electricity generators which one skilled mechanic keeps running each day.
-------------------
The donkie: Krugersdorp Afrikaner squatter camp has split into two factions: one faction refuses the other faction access to the only electricity-access point so the Christian faction made its own hot water boiler, runs a communal open-air kitchen and repaired some scrounged electricy-generators.

‘ Sewage runs though a section of the camp: and the Afrikaner residents are sick and tired of photographers… ‘
There’s the constant health-hazard to the children of sewage running through the camp: but also new hope in Gideon’s cash-creating manufacture of rag-dolls, t-shirts and firelighters…
Alet: “The camp has over the years become quite infamous because the ANC-regime wanted to forcibly remove them to 'clean up the landscape' just before the Fifa World Cup football tournaments - and they put up quite a fight, one which the municipality lost. It originally was just a caravan-park but people started moving their when they lost their jobs and it's become an 'informal settlement'. During the battles of 2010 some people sold their little caravans and moved to escape the violence. When they heard that the municipality had given up trying to forcibly remove them, they returned and put up little shanties amongst the caravans. The majority of the adults are low-wage workers with little formal education who lost their jobs years ago - but amongst the latest arrivals also are business people.
-----------------
Business people who lost everything now are moving in:
Two new camp residents are men who are suffering from terminal cancer and sold their belongings to help pay for the medical care when their health-insurance stopped paying. One man was a well-known Krugersdorp businessman who lived in the 'wealthier' part of town. With his illness he also fell into poverty. He's too ill to work and tries to survive on handouts.
Once a month he gets chemo-treatment at a public hospital.
- There's also an Indian woman who was kicked out of her community because she became a Christian. And in one corner of the camp a group of black squatters was taken in 'for political reasons': after they moved in, the Krugersdorp municipality stopped harassing the Afrikaners.
--------------
The unhealthy conditions are growing: sewage runs through one part of the camp. And it's divided into two factions: one headed by Irene (the sister of boxer Jimmy Abbott). This couple also have control of the only municipal electricity-point in the camp and won't let others use it. Irene rules her clan with an iron hand and demands that all the clan’s donations must be handed to her and her partner Hugo.
The other section of the camp is comprised of Willem and his people - Christian folk. They have set up a communal kitchen and his people go out each day to do odd jobs and earn cash.Those who earn some money, buys food for the rest. They have also teamed up to buy little power-generators and do their laundry in washing machines.They boil water in a home-made 'donkie' (boiler) and cook over open fires. There's a team of kindergarden-children: one three-year-old girl's dad also suffers from terminal cancer and her mom died last year.
The father is making arrangements with the local welfare people to have his child adopted in case of his death.
---------------------
Gideon van Deventer is engaged in creating cash-generating projects for them: for instance they make firelighters for barbequeing. And he's also started the Heavenly Christian Tees project: t-shirts and pre-printed ragdolls which the women and girls can sew. http://www.heavenlychristiantees.co.za/cp/10023/fig-leaf-raggedies
Gideon says he looks for people with 'fire' who can be taught to become self-supporting.Not everyone in the camp has the energy and courage left to do so. Many have been living in this hopeless condition for so long that they now just live from day to day.
------------
Meagre pensions, no food-aid, low child-benefits:
The majority of the people in this camp are too young to get any kind of old-age pensions. Some of them do get disability pensions. The women can put in claims for child-benefits, which are very low cash amounts. During the day most of the men leave the camp to seek odd jobs such as cleaning and gardening and some go on the streets to sell handmade items.

Krugersdorp Afrikaner squatter camp: the daily battle for survival has become a grinding way of life
------------------
May 11 2012 - Suffering from a decade of chronic malnutrition and disease, the -- by now infamous Afrikaner squatter camp residents in Krugersdorp – who won their widely-publicised battle with the ANC-municipality against forced removal -- now has divided into two factions with two strong leaders in an uneasy truce.
In a news update by local carers who visit the camp they also noted that local Afrikaner business people are failing and moving their families into the camp as well.
- After their battle stop the local ANC-regime from forcibly removing them, the camp residents now have split into two factions: One faction is run by ‘Willem’ who uses the Christian Communal Survival approach, whereby all the residents share the daily cash they earn from odd jobs and selling homemade items, buy their food together, cook in a communal kitchen and pray together each morning for courage to survive another day…
--- Alet (GoudveldGriffon@gmail.com ) writes: “I was at the squatter camp near Krugersdorp and send some new photos. Not many of the people themselves, just their dwellings. I think all the Afrikaners living in the camp are sick and tired of being photographed all the time. I went with Gideon Van Deventer gideon8steps@telkomsa.net of Riebeeckstad who has started several projects to help people become self-sufficient by making fire-lighters, t-shirts and ragdolls: the Heavenly Christian Tees project: http://www.heavenlychristiantees.co.za/cp/10023/fig-leaf-raggedies
FLASHBACK: The Afrikaner squatters’ battles with the Krugersdorp ANC-council were recorded by many international journalists, amongst them the Australian photo-journalist Dean Saffron
Today, the municipality no longer ‘hassles’ the Afrikaners, also because a group of black squatters has taken up occupancy in one corner of the former municipal campsite, writes Alet of Goudveld Griffon. She visited the camp two days ago with Gideon van Deventer of Riebeeckstad and sent us this latest update.
Gideon van Deventer says he looks for people with 'fire' who can be taught to become self-supporting. He launched several projects: residents are making firelighters, t-shirts and ragdolls to sell.
--------------
Business people moving in their families from wealthier part of town:
Alet reports that the demographics of the camp have also changed dramatically: previously, most camp residents were low-wage, low-education working class Afrikaners, many ex-mineworkers and fired railway employees who lost their jobs because of the ANC’s black-economic-empowerment laws which bar whites from the job market.
- Now, new arrivals show the steady decline of the Afrikaner business community: with the ANC-regime barring any business without black CEOs from doing business, newly destitute ex-businessmen from a wealthy Krugersdorp suburb now also are moved in with their young families: two men are terminally ill with cancer and go to the local public hospital for chemo-treatment each month. One little girl’s mom has already died: now she faces losing her dad too.
- Two factions –two very different approaches to survival:
Alet notes that the two factions amongst the Afrikaners use two very different approaches to survive each day: One group demands that all the donations of food and cash go to their leader Irene Abbott (sister of the boxer) and her partner; the other group headed by ‘Willem’ is approaching their grinding povery in the communal-Christian way: teaming up and sharing their cash earned each day and sharing their food – women sew items to sell such as t-shirts and ragdolls; the men go out to earn cash with odd jobs each day and to sell homemade items – and with the cash buy food to share out amongs them all. This group – denied access to the only electricity-point by the Abbott clan - cook their food in an open communal kitchen and hold prayer meetings each morning to give them courage for the day ahead. They made a home-made boiler called a ‘donkie’ (below) to boil their water on. And they’ve scrounged some old-electricity generators which one skilled mechanic keeps running each day.
-------------------
The donkie: Krugersdorp Afrikaner squatter camp has split into two factions: one faction refuses the other faction access to the only electricity-access point so the Christian faction made its own hot water boiler, runs a communal open-air kitchen and repaired some scrounged electricy-generators.

Mrs Susan van Biljon, Afrikaner farm wife, black group kicked in her backdoor, tied her up, beat her up, she survived: four cats poisoned
Description
Mrs Susan van Biljon, Afrikaner farm wife: survives farm attack:
Marlene Jordaan - Volksblad - in the fourth farm attack within 10 days in the northern Free State alone, 67-year-old Mrs Susan Van Biljon was attacked by a black male gang which kicked in her door; tied her up, beat her up and threatened to pour boiling water over her. She survived. They had put out poison for the guard-dogs but four cats died of it instead.
Christo Jansen van Rensburg, 36, also was petrolbombed inside his bakkie as he was ambushed at his farm gake, And Cookie and Meisie Oosthuizen, 69 and 68, of a Koppies farm escaped being shot dead during an ambush; near Bothaville two security guards were attacked by a black-male gang during an attack against disabled 95-year-old veteran-farmer Frikkie Rautenbach, 95. The attackers used hammers.
Mrs Susan van Biljon runs a farm-shop at her homestead. Pieter Farrel, a security consultant, said he received her emergency call at 21:43. From the time they attacked her to the time she phoned me for help, they turned over the interior of her homestead, plucked her around, tied her up to a chair, and threatened to boil her alive with boiling water. They demanded that she give them money and robbed R200 in cash, cellphone airtime coupons and the container of a computer.
She managed to free herself from her bonds and called Farrel on her cellphone. Farrel said SAPS w/o Belinda Mitchell and sergeant O.B. Oberholzer of the Sasolburg dog-unit arrived very quickly in their private vehicles after they were alerted.
Transvaal agricultural union spokesman for the Free State, Bertus van der Westhuizen, expressed his concern about the apparent increase of armed attacks by black male gangs on farms and smallholdings in the northern Free State region.
He surmised that 'syndicates' were involved in these organised attacks. 'The fact that sixty or more heads of cattle are rustled at one time is no longer extraordinary. The question is whether the livestock-theft unit of the SAPS has the capacity to combat this threat?"
Each town should have a security-structure which would be prepared to cooperate with the local police and to, if necessary, even serve under the command of the SAPS. Only then do we have an opportunity to combat this scourage. The TLU expressed gratitutude for the fact that Mrs Van Biljon was not serious injured nor tortured - and thanked the police, the Heilbron citizens' self-defence unit and the Sasolburg police-dog unit for their rapid response. A team of skilled field-trackers was put on the trail of the attack-gang, said Farrel. SAPS brig Billy Jones of the Free State provincial police was not available to comment on the question whether there had been an increase in farm-attacks and livestock rustling.
------------------------------------
It must be noted that the SAPS does NOT maintain seperate statistics for farm-attacks, nor do they maintain demographic statistics of any crimes, with the government maintaining a policy claiming that 'these are all just ordinary crimes' and should not be maintained on seperate records.

Ma oorleef skoot in huisroof
Marlene Jordaan
“My ma het die hart van ’n leeu. Ons is net so dankbaar dat sy vir ons gespaar gebly het op hierdie Moedersdag. Pleks dat ons gaan uiteet soos beplan, moet ons vir haar blomme in die hospitaal neem.”
Só het Chalmaine Raath gister gesê nadat haar ma, Hannetjie Griessel (58), Saterdagaand op Odendaalsrus in ’n gewapende huisrooftog in die rug geskiet is.
Kapt. Rulene Kuhn, polisiewoordvoerder, sê die polisie het nog geen verdagtes in hegtenis geneem in verband met die voorval nie.
Griessel word in die Mediclinic Welkom behandel. Haar sleutelbeen is deur die koeël vergruis, maar gelukkig is geen are of organe getref nie, sê Raath.
“Die dokter sê dit is ’n wonderwerk.”
Raath is On the Dot, Volksblad se verspreidingsagentskap, se kleinhandeldiensbestuurder vir die Vrystaat en Noord-Kaap.
’n Bewoë Japie Griessel (64), Hannetjie se man, sê hy kan nie beskryf wat deur sy kop gegaan het toe hy die skoot hoor klap en besef sy vrou is geskiet nie.
Die egpaar het by hul seun, Corrie, en sy vrou, Laurika, gekuier toe die voorval gebeur het.
“Ons wou net die Stormers-Cheetah-wedstryd begin kyk toe drie mans die vertrek binnestorm. Die derde een het ’n pistool by hom gehad. Hy het ons beveel om te lê.
“Hulle het sommer dadelik begin om die TV uit te dra,” vertel Japie.
Die mans het vermoedelik by ’n deur ingekom wat oopgelaat is vir die hond om uit te gaan.
“Toe ek opstaan, skiet hy ’n skoot tussen my bene in die blokkiesvloer. Hulle het my geklap dat my bril van my gesig trek en my horlosie van my arm af gevat. Toe gryp hulle ons selfone. My vrou wou opstaan, toe klap hy haar om. In die vallery skiet hy haar in die rug. Sy het net gesê hulle het haar geskiet. Ek was lam van skok. Die skoot se klap was oorverdowend.”
Volgens Japie het die rowers geskrik toe hulle die bloed sien en met die TV, ’n skootrekenaar, geld, selfone en sy horlosie weggehardloop.
Japie sê hy het omtrent teen 180km/h met sy vrou na die hospitaal in Welkom gejaag.
“Ek het nie geweet hoe ernstig dit is en of sy dalk sterwend is nie. Elke sekonde tel dan.”
Japie sê dit gaan onder omstandighede goed met sy vrou. “’n Mens kan nie help om tog negatief te voel oor wat dié mense aan haar gedoen het nie. Maar ons is dankbaar dinge het nie erger uitgedraai nie.”
Volgens Chalmaine behoort haar ma oor sowat vyf dae uit die hospitaal ontslaan te word. - Volksblad

Die egpaar het by hul seun, Corrie, en sy vrou, Laurika, gekuier toe die voorval gebeur het.
“Ons wou net die Stormers-Cheetah-wedstryd begin kyk toe drie mans die vertrek binnestorm. Die derde een het ’n pistool by hom gehad. Hy het ons beveel om te lê.
“Hulle het sommer dadelik begin om die TV uit te dra,” vertel Japie.
Die mans het vermoedelik by ’n deur ingekom wat oopgelaat is vir die hond om uit te gaan.
“Toe ek opstaan, skiet hy ’n skoot tussen my bene in die blokkiesvloer. Hulle het my geklap dat my bril van my gesig trek en my horlosie van my arm af gevat. Toe gryp hulle ons selfone. My vrou wou opstaan, toe klap hy haar om. In die vallery skiet hy haar in die rug. Sy het net gesê hulle het haar geskiet. Ek was lam van skok. Die skoot se klap was oorverdowend.”
Volgens Japie het die rowers geskrik toe hulle die bloed sien en met die TV, ’n skootrekenaar, geld, selfone en sy horlosie weggehardloop.
Japie sê hy het omtrent teen 180km/h met sy vrou na die hospitaal in Welkom gejaag.
“Ek het nie geweet hoe ernstig dit is en of sy dalk sterwend is nie. Elke sekonde tel dan.”
Japie sê dit gaan onder omstandighede goed met sy vrou. “’n Mens kan nie help om tog negatief te voel oor wat dié mense aan haar gedoen het nie. Maar ons is dankbaar dinge het nie erger uitgedraai nie.”
Volgens Chalmaine behoort haar ma oor sowat vyf dae uit die hospitaal ontslaan te word. - Volksblad
‘Two cops hijacked me’
His head was shoved between his legs, a handgun was jabbed into his ribs and another stuck against his temple – Ryan Pickford was convinced he was going to die.
The most recent victim of a blue-light gang, Pickford was held at gunpoint on Friday night for two hours by men claiming to be police officers – in full police uniform.
Pickford had just visited his wife and three-week-old son, who is in high care at the Morningside clinic, on Friday evening when the terrifying experience began that would see him lose his Porsche, his dignity and his trust in the police.
Driving past Leeuwkop Prison on Main Road in Bryanston just before 8pm, Pickford noticed a white Golf GTI following him. The vehicle’s blue lights began flashing, signalling him to pull over.
Two men dressed in police uniforms, wearing bullet-proof vests and wielding R5 rifles insisted on searching his car. During what the men called a “routine search”, another man wearing a police bib approached Pickford’s car from the side of the road.
Pickford, 35, then called his sister to tell her that the police were threatening to arrest him if he did not accompany them to the nearest roadblock for a breathalyser test.
When he agreed, but said he would drive his own car, Pickford was told he was going to be arrested. When he asked why, one of the “officers” handcuffed him and pushed him into the back seat of the Golf.
He watched helplessly as the man in the police bib climbed into his Porsche and drove off. Seated between two other men, who were not in police uniform but wielding handguns, his captors informed him that he was being hijacked. While the two men in the back seat pushed his head down with black-gloved hands, the two uniformed hijackers sat in the front. One started the car and began driving.
Pickford pleaded for his life, saying they could have his car. “I told them about my two kids and wife, and how I needed to be with them.”
At first, the men were reassuring, telling him he wouldn’t be hurt if he didn’t “f*** up”, and that their own children needed to survive as well. But when his sister began calling on his cellphone, the two handguns were pointed at his head and heart. He was told to tell his sister that he was with the police and that nothing was wrong.
After 30 minutes of driving, being interrogated about the cars he drove and his banking details, Pickford began to get anxious. The men were getting increasingly hostile, telling him he would be shoved into the car’s boot, dropped off in the centre of Alexandra, or killed, if he did not co-operate.
“I felt a strange calmness, and I just felt like this was going to be the end,” he said.
He asked why police officers would do this. Pickford remembers saying how he said they were meant to “serve and protect”, a statement that offended his hijackers.
“Who do you think we are? Your servants?” the driver asked.
At around 10pm, the men pulled over in the veld in Centurion, took his watch and cellphone, and told him to run deep into the veld and lie down. Pickford said he thought this would be the moment he would be killed, having seen his hijackers’ faces. But after lying down for several minutes, the men sped off.
Exhausted and trembling, Pickford made his way to a nearby warehouse, where he found security guards, who did their best to help him. It was after midnight by the time he had filed his case with the Midrand SAPS.
A traumatised Pickford is convinced it was police officers who committed the crime – not impersonators. Pickford said he recognised the face of one as a policeman at another roadblock.
“I swore to myself I wouldn’t just lie down and take this… If I can help to save another life (by reporting the case to police), then I will keep pushing this.
“You’re meant to trust them, like doctors or teachers. How will I ever stop at a roadblock again?”
Tracker investigators think a syndicate is at work in the northern suburbs targeting expensive cars. Speaking on condition of anonymity, an investigator said there had been eight high-end vehicle hijackings in the past three weeks.
Police spokesman Katlego Mogale was not available for comment.

Zimbabwe-style Land-occupation at Komatipoort: large group of violent blacks ordered farmer, workers to leave:
Description
On May 8 2012 a large farm near Komatipoort was suddenly occupied by a large group of very aggressive, young black males. They chased the caretaker-farmer off the land together with all the workers. These families were forced to leave all their belongings behind.
------------------------------------
Occupation of farm near Komatipoort - Statement by Transvaal Agricultural union:
TAU SA did its best to gain insight in the case where blacks arrived on a farm near Komatipoort and ordered the farmer to leave the property. The farmer is not a TAU SA member. The farm in question has apparently been transferred to a new owner after a claim was lodged. The new owner apparently also entered into a contract leasing the farm to a farmer who continued with his activities. According to information a difference of opinion arose because the new owner was not acquainted with the implications of the contract and decided to remove the occupants. TAU SA is satisfied that in this case the police acted effectively and prevented a Zimbabwe-style occupation, without supporting the aggressive stance of the protestors.
TAU SA is however deeply concerned about the levels of aggression displayed by the crowd which reminds of similar occurrences in Zimbabwe.
Although an apparent misunderstanding took place, the emotions were running high, the police conducted themselves in a professional manner.
This development again emphasises how important it is for farmers to involve themselves in organised agriculture.
Where they are united in a structure, similar situations could be resolved in good time. TAU SA therefore calls on farmers to join the agricultural union.

Rowers skiet man dood wat sy suster red
Riata Nel
’n Gewonde 21-jarige man van Vereeniging het gewapende rowers gister tot by sy ouerhuis se buitemuur gejaag voordat hy inmekaargesak en gesterf het.
Nico Daffue het sy suster, Lieja (19), te hulp gesnel toe hy geskiet is.
Lieja se vierjarige dogtertjie, Tanja, het gisteroggend gesê: “Ek soek monster wat Nico doodgemaak het, maar ek kry hom nie.”
Die rowers het net ná 04:30 op die Daffues se ouerhuis in Outeniquastraat, Sonlandpark, toegeslaan.
Lieja het op die bank voor die sitkamervenster geslaap.
“Die rowers het die venster drie keer geslaan voordat dit gebreek het. Ek het op die grond geval en gekruip. Ek het geskree,” het sy aan Beeld gesê.
Een van die drie rowers het deur die stukkende venster na binne geleun. Lieja het in sy oë gekyk.
“Ek het net oë en hande gesien. My boetie bly in die buitekamer en het om die huis gehardloop en die man uit die venster gepluk.
“Hulle het baklei. Ek het ’n skoot gehoor en in die donker net ’n vlam gesien.”
Haar broer was toe weg.
“Ek het eers gedink hulle het hom gevat. Ons het hom ’n rukkie later op die grasperk gekry. Hy was dood.”
Nico se ma, Michelle, sy broer Dawie, Lieja en Tanja was by die huis toe hy vermoor is.
Sy pa, Nico sr., werk in Rustenburg. Hy is inderhaas terug huis toe toe hy hoor sy kind is vermoor.
Rowers het vroeër die oggend by die huis van Jaco Wiggins (36) in dieselfde straat probeer inbreek. “Die honde slaap by ons in die huis omdat ons bang is hulle word vergiftig,” het Wiggins gesê.
Hy het die honde by die voordeur laat uitgaan. “Skote is afgevuur. Ek het dadelik die deur toegemaak en die hek gesluit. Die honde was buite.”
Die koeëls is deur die voorruit en voordeur. Niemand is beseer nie.
“Ons was van 02:00 af besig om oproepe op te volg,” het Collin Africa, hoof van die plaaslike buurtwag, gesê.

Elderly Afrikaans couple tied up, beaten: husband in serious condition with cracked skull:
Description
Elderly Van Riebeeck Park, Kempton Park couple beaten up in Magalies Street - police makes quick arrest of three black males thanks to alert house-painter next door
8 May 2012 SAPS sergeant Johanna Madiga of the Norkem Park SAPS (Phone: 011-570 9000 Fax: 011-570 9240) said they have arrested three black men thanks to the diligence of a house-painter who warned them.
The three men are accused of beating up an unnamed elderly Afrikaner man, 65, who was in his lounge in Magaliesberg Street at 2pm. His wife was in the garden. The old Afrikaner was grabbed by the throat and ordered to keep quiet while some of the other men dragged his wife from the garden into the house. They then tied up the couple and THEN bashed in the helpless man's head 'with an unknown object', said the SAPS spokeswoman. He is in serious condition at hospital.
The attackers then looted various items including their GUN -- LOCKED AWAY INTO THE GUN SAFE -- from the couple. They tried to drive away with the couple's car but the alarm went off.
They abandoned the car and while fleeing on foot through a neighbour's yard a painter working there alerted the house owner.
The police said they arrested one of the three men near the house as they arrived on the scene very quickly.
They arrested the other two men the next day in Alexandra.These two still had the couple's stolen firearm in their possession. (Source SAPS Phone: 011-570 9000 Fax: 011-570 9240)

Priester erg aangeval
Jana Breytenbach
KAAPSTAD. – ’n Priester wat 12 uur lank in sy eie bloed gelê het nadat hy aangeval is, se aanvallers is steeds op vrye voet.
Vader Andrew Cox (50) van die Katolieke kerk in Constantia is Sondagaand aangeval toe hy die kerk se deure gesluit het.
“Ek het geluide agter my gehoor en ewe skielik het drie mans op my afgestorm.”
Cox het vertel dat hy ’n mes in die maanlig gesien het voordat hulle hom tot op die grond geslaan het.
“Ek het geskree, maar niemand het my gehoor nie.”
Cox het gesê hy het terugbaklei en in ’n stadium die mes by hulle afgevat, maar kon homself nie kry om hulle seer te maak nie.
“Hulle het my oë met hul vingers probeer uitkrap, maar het dit gelukkig nie reggekry nie.”
Die verdagtes het sy hande, voete en bene vasgebind en sy oë met ’n blinddoek toegebind.
“Hulle het my met plastiek probeer versmoor deur dit in my mond te druk. Daarna het hulle die kerk oopgesluit en my na binne gesleep en in die brandkluis toegesluit.”
Cox het homself bevry en die blinddoek van sy gesig afgetrek, waarna hy agtergekom het dat hy twee keer met die mes gesteek is. Hy is in sy rug en linkerbobeen gesteek.
“Ek het ’n verklaring vir die polisie geskryf indien ek sou doodgaan asook briewe vir my familie. Ek het gebid en vrede gemaak met die feit dat ek toe kon sterf omdat ek baie bloed verloor het.”
’n Sekretaresse van die kerk het Cox die volgende oggend gevind en dadelik paramedici ontbied.
Die verdagtes het met R10000 gevlug.
Daar was Vrydag ’n mark by die kerk en volgens Cox moes die verdagtes gedink het daar sou geld op die perseel wees.
“Gelukkig was dit nie meer by die kerk nie.”
Lt.kol. André Traut, ’n provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het die voorval bevestig.

VS-man flenters gekap
Jana van der Merwe
DIE bende panga-rowers wat ’n skrikbewind in die suide van Bloemfontein voer, het weer toegeslaan en ’n man flenters gekap in ’n inbraak en aanval in ’n meenthuis in Fleurdal.
Dit was minstens die sesde aanval deur dié bende.
Die polisie het kort na dié wrede aanval ’n deurbraak gemaak en vier Mosambiekers vasgetrek.
Lt.kol. Thandi Mbambo, polisiewoordvoerder, sê die mans, wat gister in die landdoshof verskyn het, word ook verdink van verskeie ander huisrooftoge sedert verlede jaar in Uitsig en Fleurdal.
Mnr. Johan Meyer (56) van Durban is Woensdag in die oggendure in die jongste rooftog wreed met ’n panga en mes aangeval en erg beseer.
Hy is in die Pelonomi-hospitaal met ’n gekraakte skedel asook verskeie kap- en steekwonde opgeneem.
Hy moet vandag ’n operasie ondergaan om die spiere van sy linkerarm, wat oopgekloof en gebreek is, te heg.
’n Steekwond in sy regtersy het sy longe rakelings gemis.
Meyer het in Bloemfontein by sy vriendin me. Lizette Labuscagne en haar dogter Ankiah (17) gekuier.
Ankiah se pa, Kobus, van Fichardtpark, sê die Here se hand van beskerming was oor sy familie.
Die mure en vloere was besmeer met Meyer se bloed en oortrek met glasstukke. Ankiah sê sy het gehoor hoe die aanvallers die veiligheidshek afbreek.
“Ek het na my ma-hulle se kamer gehardloop en vir hulle gesê daar is mense in die huis.”
Ankiah het in ’n kas gaan wegkruip. Haar ma en Meyer het gaan ondersoek instel.
“Ek het net die oom hoor skree. Ek het probeer kophou en kalm bly. Ek het gedink my ma en die oom is albei dood.” Ankiah het in die kas haar pa gebel.
Mnr. Labuscagne het die polisie ontbied en na die huis gejaag.
Drie mans het vir Meyer getakel en hom verwoed begin kap. Mev. Labuscagne het vir haar lewe na die kamer gevlug.
Die familie vermoed die rowers het nie geweet Meyer was saam met die twee vroue in die huis nie.
Hulle het ná die aanval slegs ’n paar goed, waaronder Ankiah se handsak, gesteel en gevlug. Van die gesteelde goed is later deur die polisie in Rocklands gekry.
Die familie het die polisie se blitspatrollie en personeel van die Parkweg-polisiekantoor geloof vir hul vinnige optrede.
Volksblad het onlangs berig minstens vyf gesinne is die afgelope jaar deur ’n pangabende in hul huise oorval en beroof.
Mnr. Thys Rossouw, sy verloofde en haar vierjarige dogter is vroeër vanjaar in hul meenthuis oorval, ontvoer en beroof. Mev. Elsie Kalp is ook in haar huis oorval terwyl sy en haar kleuters geslaap het. Kalp is gedwing om van haar besittings wat die rowers wou steel oor die treinspoor te dra.
Mnre. Ntuli Athus, Pangele Anthonio, Zulu Mahlabe en Zunguza Samuel, almal in hul vroeë twintigs, moet weer volgende week in die hof verskyn ná die jongste aanval.

Die familie het die polisie se blitspatrollie en personeel van die Parkweg-polisiekantoor geloof vir hul vinnige optrede.
Volksblad het onlangs berig minstens vyf gesinne is die afgelope jaar deur ’n pangabende in hul huise oorval en beroof.
Mnr. Thys Rossouw, sy verloofde en haar vierjarige dogter is vroeër vanjaar in hul meenthuis oorval, ontvoer en beroof. Mev. Elsie Kalp is ook in haar huis oorval terwyl sy en haar kleuters geslaap het. Kalp is gedwing om van haar besittings wat die rowers wou steel oor die treinspoor te dra.
Mnre. Ntuli Athus, Pangele Anthonio, Zulu Mahlabe en Zunguza Samuel, almal in hul vroeë twintigs, moet weer volgende week in die hof verskyn ná die jongste aanval.

Aanval op bekende boer se plaas
Marlene Jordaan
BOTHAVILLE. – Twee sekuriteitswagte van ’n baie bekende boer en jare lange inwoner van die distrik is in ’n ernstige toestand in die hospitaal nadat hulle met ’n hamer in ’n plaasaanval aangerand is.
’n Plaaswerker van die beesboer mnr. Frikkie Rautenbach (95) van die plaas Eensaamheid is ook met ’n geweerkolf teen die kop geslaan en ’n verpleegster wat hom versorg, is aan die hare in die huis rondgesleep terwyl die rowers die kluis se sleutels geëis het.
Die Valke lei ’n grootskeepse soektog na die ses aanvallers. Teen druktyd is niemand nog in hegtenis geneem nie.
Rautenbach sr. sukkel met sy rug en sit daarom soms in ’n rolstoel, sê sy kleinseun, Frikkie jr.
Sy oupa is nie in die aanval beseer nie, maar ly aan skok. Die verpleegster is ook erg geskok.
Die plaaswerker is in die hospitaal vir sy beserings behandel, maar is intussen weer ontslaan.
Die twee sekuriteitswagte is in Bloemfontein in die hospitaal opgeneem, sê kapt. Stephen Thakeng, polisiewoordvoerder.
Die polisie het Volksblad gevra dat die sekuriteitswagte, plaaswerker en verpleegster se name weens sekuriteitsredes nie bekend gemaak word nie.
Volgens Thakeng het vier gewapende mans die wagte Dinsdag omstreeks 22:00 oorval en erg geslaan. Nog twee gewapende mans het ’n plaaswerker met ’n geweerkolf teen die kop geslaan.
Die ses mans het die veiligheidshek van die plaashuis oopgebreek.
Die verpleegster wat Rautenbach sr. versorg, is aan die hare rondgesleep. Hulle het die kluis se sleutel later in ’n beursie by Rautenbach sr. gekry.
Thakeng sê geld en ’n 9mm-pistool is uit die kluis geroof.
Die rowers het probeer om met Rautenbach se bakkie te vlug, maar het teen ’n boom op die erf gebots. Hulle is te voet weg.
Rautenbach jr. sê die familie het geweldig baie ondersteuning van die gemeenskap gekry.
“Ons as familie wil boere net weer opnuut waarsku om altyd bewus te wees van wat op hul plase aangaan. Dis baie belangrik.”
Die polisie vra mense met inligting om speurder-ao. James Ma-hlatsi van die Welkom-polisie se eenheid teen georganiseerde misdaad (Valke) te bel by 082-4530-806.

Kapers skiet man dood by huis
Die wêreld het nou een dissipel minder.
So het past. Mario Steyn van die Lewende Woord-kerk in Brummeria gesê oor mnr. Wouter de Bruyn (46), wat Dinsdagaand deur kapers doodgeskiet is.
Drie kapers het De Bruyn en sy vrou, Marieke, oorval toe die egpaar by hul huis in Rooihuiskraal, Centurion, opgedaag het.
Volgens ’n familielid van die De Bruyns het die egpaar eergister net voor 19:00 tuis gekom en in hul motorhuis ingery. Toe hulle uit die motor wou klim, het drie mans hulle aangeval.
Volgens die familielid het die mans die egpaar uit die motor gepluk en hulle beveel om op die vloer te lê.
Hulle het die egpaar se bos sleutels gevat. Net toe De Bruyn gaan lê, het hulle hom in die regterskouer geskiet. Sy vrou is nie beseer nie. Die drie is daar weg met De Bruyn se motor.
Hulle het nie die egpaar se ander persoonlike besittings gevat nie. Die egpaar het ’n tyd gelede kameras by hul huis laat installeer. Die verdagtes is duidelik op dié beeldmateriaal sigbaar.
Die De Bruyns was twee jaar getroud. Hulle sou oor sowat ’n week die eerste keer oorsee gaan.
Steyn het gesê De Bruyn was betrokke by die Lewende Woord-kerk in Brummeria. Hy was ’n klankingenieur.
De Bruyn word vandag om 14:00 uit dié kerk begrawe.
Kapt. Pinky Tsinyane, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het versoek dat enigiemand met inligting konst. Leon Meyer by die Wierdabrug-polisiekantoor bel by 012 654 4031.

Doornfontein-moord: Geen inligting oor verdagtes
Johannesburg – Dit is steeds onbekend hoeveel mense by die moord op ‘n boervrou van Doornfontein betrek word, het die polisie gesê.
Die vrou, wat Beeld as Venessa Stafleu (34) geïdentifiseer het, is ten aanskoue van haar driejarige dogter en vyfjarige seun in ’n plaasaanval doodgeskiet.

Die bebloede liggaam van 'n 71-jarige man is Maandagaand in sy huis in Springsweg gevind. Antonio Guerra, wat vir jare alleen in die huis gewoon het, is vermoedelik tussen Saterdag en Maandag oorval en vermoor.
Sy seun, Tony, en nog 'n familielid, het Maandagaand, nadat hulle onraad begin vermoed het, na die huis gegaan en die gru-ontdekking gemaak.
Guerra is in die voorportaal van sy huis aangetref. Die huis was weer gesluit; vermoedelik deur sy aanvallers.
Volgens inligting wil dit voorkom asof Guerra op 'n stadium na buite gegaan het, aangesien sy flitslig en bril 'n paar meter van die huis gevind is.
Hy is vermoedelik buite oorval, waarna hy terug in die huis gesleep is. Daar was verskeie wonde aan sy liggaam en sy skoenveters was ook aan mekaar vasgemaak.
Verskeie items, soos 'n televisiestel, vrieskas en selfone word vermis.Die booswigte het ook 'n motorhuis oopgebreek.
Volgens die polisie, was Guerra se huis goed beveilig en dui alles daarop dat hy na buite gelok is, of dat hy toevallig buite was toe hy oorrompel is.
Fatima Guerra, sy skoondogter, het Dinsdag aan die Herald gesê dat haar skoonpa vir baie jare alleen op die plot gewoon het.
"Dit is 'n groot skok vir ons almal," het sy gesê.'n Woordvoerder van die polisie het gesê dat die toneel Maandagaand gefykam is vir leidrade.
Die ondersoek duur voort en enigiemand met inligting kan die polisiestasie by 011 744-4940 skakel.

Afrikaans, original story:
"Pistool kliek; egpaar spring dood vry"
2012-04-27 Mnr. Cookie Oosthuizen (69) en sy vrou, Meisie (68).
Jana van der Merwe - “KLIEK. Kliek.” Met dié hol, vreesaanjaende klanke van hul eie gelaaide pistool op hulle gerig, het ’n Vrystaatse egpaar gister op hul kleinhoewe die dood vrygespring.
Mnr. Cookie Oosthuizen (69) en sy vrou, Meisie (68), van die kleinhoewe Weltevrede in die distrik Koppies, het kort ná middernag op hul bed wakker geskrik met ’n rower bo-op elkeen.
Mnr. Dawie Oosthuizen, Cookie se broer, sê die aanval-nagmerrie het twee uur lank aangehou.Die egpaar is gister in die Mediclinic Emfuleni in Vanderbijlpark vir hul beserings en skok behandel.
Mev. Oosthuizen is aan haar hand geopereer.“Hul kamer lyk verskriklik. Dis net bloed waar jy kyk.”Hy sê die egpaar se honde het gister erg gebraak nadat die rowers vir hulle vergiftigde polonie ingegee het.
Hy sê die rowers wou in die donkerte by sy broer en skoonsuster weet waar sit hulle die lig aan.“Die mans het hulle herhaaldelik (met ’n skroewedraaier en kombuismes) in die hande gesteek terwyl hulle vir hul lewe probeer keer het.”
Die rowers met klapmusse en handskoene aan, het die paar met hul telefoonkoord en dasse, aan hul arms bo hul koppe, vasgebind. Hulle wou geld hê.
Die Oosthuizens bedryf ’n melkdepot op die dorp.Die rowers het gesê hulle weet hulle het geld.Hulle het mev. Oosthuizen van die bed afgeruk en gedreig om haar te verkrag.
“Sy het vir die rowers gesê hulle kan alles kry en vir hulle die kluis in ’n ander vertrek gaan oopsluit.”Die rowers het in die kluis R18000 en twee vuurwapens, ’n rewolwer en pistool, gesteel.
Terug in die kamer het een die pistool eers op mnr. Oosthuizen gerig. Toe net ’n kliek. Hy het toe die vuurwapen op mev. Oosthuizen gerig. Wéér niks.
“Die ander een was heeltyd op die selfoon besig met ’n makker wat buite in die kar gewag het. Hoewel die rowers heeltyd Afrikaans met hulle gepraat het, het hulle met die een in die motor buite Sotho gepraat.
“My broer kan hul taal verstaan en het gehoor dat die een sê die pad raak besig, hulle moet vinnig maak.”Die rowers het met die geld en vuurwapens gevlug.Mnr. Oosthuizen het daarin geslaag om eers homself los te wikkel en toe sy vrou se hande los te maak. Albei se hande is erg beseer en geswel.
Mnr. Oosthuizen het omstreeks 02:30 sy broer op die dorp gebel om te kom help.Mev. Lettie Tucker, die egpaar se dogter, en haar man, Gary, van Bloemfontein, het hulle dadelik na Vanderbijlpark gehaas nadat hulle van die aanval gehoor het.
“My ma is oukei, my pa is oukei. Ons is so dankbaar. Mens verwag nie so iets nie.”Sers. Thabo Litabe, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, sê die rowers is natuurlik nog steeds op vrye voet.

Afrikaans parents, children in Centurion, Wierdabrug, Valhalla schools parking lots targets of aggressive smash grab gangs

Afrikaans parents, children in Centurion, Wierda Park, Valhalla school parking lots targets of aggressive smash and grab gangs
20 April 2012 -- Wierdabrug police: (Phone: 012-6544031 Fax: 012-6548857) -- Aggressive thieves smash car windows and grab the articles from vehicles. Afrikaans Primary school Swartkop in Valhalla had recently become one of the main centres of attraction for these thieves.
According to ward councillor Ina Strijdom, the attackers operate in groups. One stays in a get-away vehicle while the others do ‘shopping’.
Strijdom added that the Wierda Bridge community police forum (CPF) recorded five incidents since December 2011. Another two incidents were recorded since the start of schools in April 2012. These were only incidents that the CPF are aware of.
Strijdom urged parents to be careful.“You might think you are only leaving your vehicle for five minutes, but these criminals need only a few seconds to smash your window and steal your valuables. Parents should rather leave valuables locked away in the boot of their vehicles,” Strijdom said.
Strijdom was of the opinion that the thieves are moving between schools.“Once their modus operandi is clear to residents and the CPF, they move to the next school. We had similar incidents at Vhalliespark Primary School formerly known as Laerskool Valhalla. The thieves are opportunists looking out for soft targets,” she said.
Strijdom requested the Tshwane metro to erect Smash and Grab signs outside the school to alert parents.
Incidents of cell phone theft from pupils were also recorded and the children should also take care when walking in the streets to and from schools.
“I will try my utmost to assist the schools in my ward with regard to safety. The children are our future and we should protect them,” Strijdom said.
According to Carel Cronjé, principal of Laerskool Swartkop, he is concerned about the situation and urged parents and children to be alert at all time.
The CPF would be patrolling the area on a more regular basis.

Four suspects, but two men arrested and police claim 'the case is still sensitive'...
KAAPSTAD. – Twee mans is in hegtenis geneem weens die moord Donderdagaand op ’n vrou (75) van die plaas Theerivier sowat 20km buite Citrusdal.

Volgens Coetzee het Smit sy ma omstreeks 21:00 die Donderdag laas gesien. Hy woon ook op die plaas in ’n ander huis sowat 30m van sy ma se huis af.
Smit het glo omstreeks 01:00 wakker geword van die honde se geblaf. Hy het uitgegaan om te kyk of iets fout is en op haar vasgebinde lyk afgekom.Die polisie is dadelik ontbied. Verskeie leidrade wat in die huis gevind is, het die polisie Vrydagmiddag na die twee mans gelei. Coetzee het gesê die ondersoek is nog "baie sensitief". Daar word vermoed dat vier mense by die aanval betrokke was.
Die twee mans (24 en 33) wat in hegtenis geneem is, is volgens Coetzee "bekend op die dorp". Hulle is nie inwoners van Citrusdal nie, maar "werk gereeld in die omgewing". Hulle verskyn vandag in die plaaslike landdroshof op aanklagte van moord. Arme mevrou Smith is vermoedelik verwurg.

Jeffrey's Bay butcher Deon Verwey murdered June 14 2009: trial from May 2 2012
Description
The murder trial for the suspects arrested for the murder of Jeffrey's Bay butcher Deon Verwey starts on 2 May 2012.
Mr Verwey, right, was murdered on June 14 2009 in Wavecrest, Jeffrey’s Bay. He was attacked, tied up and murdered by someone who broke into his home and stabbed him in the heart with a screwdriver, said his sister Annetta van der Merwe at the time.
He had just recently sold the Graslaagte butchery he’d owned in nearby Humansdorp. Apparent from the blood-trail in the house, police said at the time that appeared as if the injured Mr Verwey had struggled from the living room to the rear door where he managed to call to his sister, living next door, for help – even though he was tied up with a telephone cable. Police Insp. Marianette Olivier and called on the public to phone the investigating officer, at telephone 042 200 6833. His sister Mrs van der Merwe, who lived next door to Mr Verwey at the same site, told the news media her friend J H Potgieter woke up when he heard her brother call out for his sister, shouting “Netta, help!’ Her friend went to the house, looked through the window and saw her injured brother bent over at the window. He feared that the attacker was still in the house so he grabbed a garden shovel and rushed over. “By that time my brother was sitting on a chair, and was calling for me to bring the car to take him to hospital’. However her brother died enroute in the car and was declared dead on arrival at the Humansdorp hospital. “In February we still were so shocked about the cruel murder on Mrs Cecile Potgieter (on Feb 20 2009), and little did we know that my brother would be next,” she said.

February 20, 2009: Businesswoman Cecile Potgieter murdered in Jeffrey’s Bay
Mrs Cecile Potgieter, 51, a local businesswoman, was murdered on February 20 2009. She was bludgeoned to death after she was already seriously injured from torture-stab wounds. She was tortured to force her into transferring R10,000 from her bank account to a post-office savings account which was in the name of her now convicted killer, Franklin Stuurman, 24, a local gardener. The second defendant was a 16-year-old girl, his girlfriend, whose trial was split from his in October 2009 in the Port Elizabeth High Court. The16-year-old girl was also convicted for the role she played in Mrs Potgieter’s horrific death.
http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2009/09/cecile-potgieter-humansdorp.html
According to evidence during Stuurman’s trial, he was found hiding in the ceiling of Mrs Potgieter’s home, with a part of the murder weapon and Mrs Potgieter’s stolen laptop and camera.“

Jeffrey’s Bay not nearly as safe as the tourist brochures claim.
-- Jeffrey’s Bay, is world-famous as the world's ‘surfer’s paradise, the South African town featured as the beach-resort with the longest wave in the cult-surfing movie "An Endless Summer".
More than half its residents are owners of second holiday-homes who only occupy them during the holiday seasons. And they let their guard down on holiday. Yet, as these two murders above of two Jeffrey’s Bay business leaders have shown, the peaceful-looking, stunning seaside scenery hides a community which is increasingly being plunged into criminal gang violence – exactly as is happening in the rest of South Africa. SAPS
Theuns and Suzann Potgieter of Jeffrey’s Bay survived armed attack against PE casino:
Many people who go on vacation let down their guard at beach resorts like this, yet many families are frequently targetted by crime gangs who break into their cottages, rob, assault, often rape and kill them. And Jeffrey’s Bay holiday-makers who want to have a fun night out at the nearby Port Elizabeth casino also better be careful – it may be a glamorous fun venue but it also draws the big money, and hence has become a drawing card for criminal gangs. Theuns and Suzann Potgieter of Jeffrey’s Bay also wanted to have such a fun night out at the casino when six armed men burst in while the couple were gambling inside with thousands of others – and the crowd fled in panic when hearing the shots as the gang attacked. The couple was lucky to make their escape they said: one of the gang members, the now convicted Lovemore Dube, 28, took three staff members hostage after he became trapped in a cashier‘s office when the door slammed shut – and he eventually surrended. CCTV footage later revealed that the other five men made their escape right in the middle of the fleeing crowds as the casino was being evacuated…

Even Jeffrey’s Bay post office was targetted by armed gangs several years ago: four armed men held all the customers and staff hostage and looted them. They got away with an unknown amount of cash and cellphones.

Residents are fighting back against crime
However, its residents are fighting back, recently setting up the Jeffrey’s Bay Community Police Forum, with its members warning that people must ‘thinking of Jeffrey’s Bay as a peaceful fisherman’s village…’
Renowned Jeffreys Bay artist Stephen Bibb joined the war against crime by donating one of his paintings to an individual or an organization that has signed up as a member by the end of June 2009. “Safety and security is an extremely emotive issue in this country, it is time that we all started coming together as communities and taking back the streets from this scourge that is sucking the life from this land” said Bibb, who is well known for his surf art. The artist urged people to join up with the CPF . “We are realizing very swiftly that the only way to stand up against these cowardly gangsters and brutal thugs, who prey on the decent and largely defenceless public, relying largely on our fear and our apathy, is to become involved in defending our communities in any way that we can”. “By joining the CPF and getting on the mailing list that’ll keep you up to date on what’s really happening in your community in the fight against crime.Becoming more vigilant and security-conscious, all of us will be contributing to the solution and helping the dedicated men and women who make our town and ultimately our country a safe place for all of us”.
