\u2019n Werktuigkundige van Bloemfontein is Maandag (28\/08) in die streekhof in die stad \u2019n boete van R20 000 of twee jaar tronkstraf opgel\u00ea nadat\u00ad hy skuldig gepleit het op aanklag van poging tot moord n\u00e1 \u2019n voorval op Kersdag verlede jaar by Maselspoort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kobus Klaassen (49) is luidens \u2019n pleitooreenkoms deur streeklanddros Rasheed Matthews gevonnis tot twee jaar tronkstraf, wat in geheel vir vyf jaar opgeskort is, nadat hy Kgokong Nakedi (18) ongeveer sewe sekondes lank onder die water in een van die swembaddens van die Maselspoort-vakansieoord gedompel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Klaassen is voorts op aanklag van aanranding op \u2019n 13-jarige seun, wat hy aan die nek gegryp het, tot drie jaar korrektiewe toesig gevonnis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Klaassen se vonnis spruit uit \u2019n voorval wat op Kersdag verlede jaar by die vakansieoord op video vasgel\u00ea is. Dit wys hoe drie mans en twee seuns in en op die rand van \u2019n swembad handgemeen raak. Dit is nie op die video hoorbaar waaroor die onderonsie gaan nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthews het by vonnis\u00adoplegging ges\u00ea Klaassen is skuldig aan \u2019n ernstige misdaad wat tot groot ontsteltenis oor die land heen gelei het. Hy het ges\u00ea die voorval het nasiebou in die land op die agtervoet gesit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Matthews is dit egter verblydend dat Klaassen jammer is oor sy dade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlmal maak foute, maar ons leer daaruit. Ek twyfel nie dat jy ook uit hierdie voorval geleer het en berou het nie, maar jy moet ook erkenning gee aan die klaers se goedgunstigheid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthews het verder ges\u00ea hoewel dit nie \u2019n maklike vonnis is nie, sal die programme wat deel van die korrektiewe vonnis uitmaak van Klaassen \u2019n beter mens maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luidens die pleitooreenkoms wat deur adv. Jacques Potgieter, Klaassen se regsverteenwoordiger, in die hof voorgelees is, het Klaassen geen regverdiging vir sy dade nie en is hy ten volle bewus dat dit verkeerd was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potgieter het in opdrag van Bertus Jacobs van Jacobs Fourie-prokureurs vir Klaassen opgetree. Ntai Letaba het aangekla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verhoor van Johan Nell, Klaassen se medebeskuldigde, is vroe\u00ebr vandeesmaand tot vroeg Desember vir verhoor uitgestel, terwyl \u2019n ander beskuldigde, Jan van der Westhuizen, in Mei vanjaar \u2019n boete van R4 000 of \u2019n jaar tronkstraf opgel\u00ea is nadat hy \u2019n pleitooreenkoms aangegaan en skuld op \u2019n aanklag van aanranding beken het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is ook tot drie jaar tronkstraf gevonnis, wat in geheel vir vyf jaar opgeskort is, op voorwaarde dat hy nie in di\u00e9 tyd weer aan aanranding\u00ad skuldig bevind\u00ad word nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
