Namens die personeel, leerders en die beheerliggaam van die Laerskool Hermanus betuig ons ons innige meegevoel aan die familie, vriende en almal wat deur hierdie groot verlies geraak word.

Rudi was die bestuurder van Pet &amp; Pool by die Gateway-sentrum en sy liefde vir sy werk, medemens en diere het geen perke geken nie. Haws het op sy Facebook-blad ges\u00ea Rudi was meer as net \u2019n ondersteuner van Haws. \u201cHy was \u2019n vriend wat altyd bereid was om met geldinsamelingsprojekte te help. Sy liefde vir diere het \u2019n groot verskil gemaak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al is die oorsaak van die botsing nog nie bekend gemaak nie, het die Heidelberg-polisie \u2019n saak van strafbare manslag aanhangig gemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volgens bronne was die Van Jaarsveldt-gesin op pad na Rudi se ouers, wat in Karatara woon \u2013 \u2019n klein dorpie naby Sedgefield \u2013 toe die ongeluk gebeur het. Rudi en sy vrou, Lara, is op die toneel oorlede terwyl Izak en Ruan in die Riversdal-hospitaal opgeneem is. Izak is later die dag oorlede terwyl Ruan na die Tygerberg-hospitaal oorgeplaas is. Hy is die volgende dag (Woensdag) oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volgens die familie voel alles steeds so onwerklik, maar wat vir hulle vertroosting bring, is die feit dat hulle almal saam gesterf het. Volgens hulle was die Van Jaarsveldts \u2019n hegte gesin wat alles saam gedoen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2019n Gedenkdiens word Vrydag, 17 Julie, om 10:00 by die NG kerk Onrusrivier gehou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2019n Passasier van die minibus, Michele Lombard (34), is ook op die toneel dood.
