Sam het daardie Maandag sy werkgewer gaan sien, maar dit was te re\u00ebnerig om te bou en hy het omgedraai om terug huis toe te gaan toe hy verby Sesde- en Elfdestraat in Rusthof stap. Met sy aankoms by Broadlands-boulevard het hy gesien hoe \u2019n vrou se motor in \u2019n diep poel water gaan staan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie paaie was alles vol water. Ek het gestaan en kyk hoe sukkel mense om die pad oor te steek. Toe kom \u2019n vrou aangery en haar voertuig gaan staan net daar in die water, maar almal ry verby en niemand help haar nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Sam het die vrou in die motor op daardie oomblik begin paniekerig raak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy wou nie uit die kar klim nie. Ek het toe iemand met \u2019n bakkie gevra dat hulle die bakkie so naby as moontlik aan die vrou se voertuig stop. Ek het toe op die bakkie se enjinkap geklim en met albei my bene teen die motor se agterkant getrap en dit vorentoe probeer stoot, maar dit het nie gewerk nie,\u201d vertel hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Insleepvoertuig het toe stilgehou om die voertuig uit die poel water te probeer kry, maar di\u00e9 het toe ook in die water gaan staan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie vrou het toe uit die motor geklim en ek het haar deur die diep stroom water gehelp. Nog \u2019n vrou het ook aangekom en ek het haar ook deur die water gehelp. Ek was papnat en het besluit om terug te keer huis toe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op pad huis toe het Sam nog \u2019n vrou sien stap, maar die sypaadjie voor haar (ook in Broadlands Boulevard) het meegegee en sy het in \u2019n gat geval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het gelukkig gesien hoe dit gebeur en was dadelik by om haar by te staan en uit die gat te help,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n beskeie Sam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is gebore en geto\u00eb in Gustrouw en is al sedert 1992 \u2019n pleisteraar. N\u00e1 hy gevra is waarom hy mense help en wat vir hom lekker is daarvan om ander te hulpe te staan antwoord hy \u201com goed te doen vir ander en my medemens uit te help wanneer ek kan\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wil ander aanmoedig om hul medemens te help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cWie is die man? Hy het my vanoggend probeer help om my kar uit diep water te stoot. Hy\u2019t agtergebly en seker gemaak ek\u2019s oukei, toe verdwyn hy.\u201d
\nDis hoe \u2019n vrou Pierre Sam (48), \u2019n bouer van Gustrouw, beskryf het nadat hy verlede Maandag (25 September) tot haar redding gekom asook twee ander vroue tydens die groot storm en oorstromings in die Helderberg te hulp gesnel
