\u201cOns lewe in vrees . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt is hoe \u2019n vrou van Gustrouw die lewe tans ervaar nadat verskeie skote in die woonbuurt afgevuur is en dwaalkoe\u00ebls twee kinders in die oor-en-weer-skietery getref het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marie Pietersen, wat in Solly Arendsestraat woon, beskryf verlede Woensdagmiddag (4 Oktober) se gebeure as \u201cbisar\u201d en iets wat hulle \u201cnie verwag het nie\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBendelede het skiet-skiet uit \u2019n ander gebied gekom en in ons woonbuurt losgebrand. Van die bendes se dwaal-koe\u00ebls het \u2019n vrou, wat agter my woon, se bungalo<\/span> getref en twee minderjarige kinders wat in die woning was, is raakgeskiet,\u201d s\u00ea Pietersen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hannelize de Lange, wie se 15-jarige seun en sy vriend beide raakgeskiet is, kan nie glo dat so iets gebeur het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c \u2019n Klomp skote is afgevuur. \u2019n Struktuur agter my is getref. Toe gaan nog skote af, en my seun en \u2019n ander seun, wat by hom gekuier het, is in my huis se gang getref. Dit was darem net vleeswonde, maar die twee is erg geskok n\u00e1 die voorval,\u201d vertel De Lange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die gemeenskap is erg omgekrap weens die skietvoorval en dit is juis waarom \u2019n WhatsApp groep gestig is waarvan honderde inwoners in Gustrouw en verskeie ander misdaad-gevulde woongebiede in die Strand aangesluit het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Zorah Motasi, die stigter van die Vroue in Aksie-beweging, het die groep op WhatsApp begin nadat verskeie mense haar n\u00e1 die einste skietvoorval genader en gevra het om hulle by die groepie te voeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlmal lewe in vrees. Die polisie is nie aanwesig in ons gemeenskappe nie. Sewe of agt skote word afgevuur in besige gemeenskappe naby skole en naby huise, maar die skuldiges, wat aan die gemeenskap en die polisie bekend is, loop steeds vry rond. Ons misdaad-gevulde gebiede in Strand het nie polisie soos die res van die omgewing nie, want die polisie doen nie hul werk hier nie,\u201d s\u00ea sy beskuldigend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Altesaam 240 mense het al by die groep aangesluit en Motasi belowe die groep, wat tans nog naamloos is, \u2019n drukgroep gaan wees wat \u2019n verskil in die gemeenskap gaan maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns gaan na buite uitreik. Ons gaan die polisie van buite soek om te help, want hier in Strand gebeur niks nie. Klagtes word aangemeld, maar die skuldiges word nie aangekeer nie en genoeg is nou genoeg,\u201d s\u00ea Motasi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die groep se planne kan nog nie met die media gedeel word nie, maar Motasi het bevestig die groep sal selfs so ver gaan om huiseienaars van skakelhuise in die gebiede verantwoordelik te hou as vuurwapens in hul huise gevind word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs die polisie vuurwapens in die huise kry, dan gaan ons die raadslid of regering vra om die huise van di\u00e9 mense af weg te vat, want ons is moeg vir misdaad in ons woongebiede,\u201d voeg sy by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AO Nico Beukes, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Strand-polisie, het bevestig \u2019n 16-jarige-seun is Maandagaand (9 Oktober) n\u00e1 die skietery in Gustrouw weens poging tot moord in hegtenis geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Twee bykomende klagtes van poging tot moord is ook teen die verdagte aangemeld. Die verdagte was teen druktyd nog nie aangekla nie en dit sal ongeveer 48 uur neem vir die ondersoek om genoeg te vorder dat hy aangekla kan word, maar hy bly in hegtenis tot dan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Misdaad-vergadering is Donderdag 28 September in Strand gehou nadat soortgelyke skietvoorvalle en ander misdade die verskeie gemeenskappe s\u00f3 erg ontstel het dat die Strand-gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum (GPF) genoodsaak was om \u2019n vergadering met bestuurslede van die Strand-polisie te re\u00ebl. Die vergadering, wat onder die vaandel van \u2019n \u201cGemeenskaps-imbizo\u201d gehou is, is by die Bethesda Evangelical Church in Broadlandspark gehou en het teen 18:00 begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Niklaas Thysen, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Strand-GPF, vertel lede van die GPF het met bestuurslede van die Strand-polisie by die imbizo ontmoet om \u2019n pad vorentoe rakende die misdaad te bespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Van die kwessies wat deur die onderskeie gemeenskappe uitgelig is, is swak dienslewering deur die polisie en klagtes wat nie die nodige aandag geniet nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beukes het bevestig die doel van die imbizo is om gemeenskappe se uitdagings te bespreek en gesamentlike oplossings te vind. \u201cDie bendeverwante misdade in gevaargebiede soos Broadlandspark is in die vergadering aangehaal. Die kollig was ook op straat- en sakerooftogte, wat selfs bedags plaasvind, asook die justisie-kant waar oortreders van ernstige misdade te maklik borgtog kry,\u201d s\u00ea Beukes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cOns lewe in vrees . . .\u201d\u2018Pad vorentoe bespreek\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
