Die Morawiese kerk in Macassar het weer eens onder genadelose inbrekers deurgeloop en gemeentelede doen n\u00e1 die soveelste voorval \u2019n beroep op mede-inwoners om gemeenskapsgees te beoefen en nie net \u2019n waaksame oog te hou nie, maar te help om die vermeende kwaaddoeners te stuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Immanu\u00ebl-gemeente, wat op die hoek van Iris-weg en Link-laan gele\u00eb is, is op Mandeladag (Donderdag 18 Julie) deur vermoedelik \u2019n groep van vier inbrekers geteiken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die bestuurslid Titus Cookson (63) ly die gemeente groot finansi\u00eble verlies weens skade n\u00e1 die voorval wat die vyfde oor \u2019n bestek van twee jaar is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cookson s\u00ea hy en \u2019n medebestuurslid is kort voor 07:00 na die kerk ontbied nadat iemand by die kleuterskool langsaan gehoor het hoe die inbrekers aan die kerkdeur stamp en timmer. Gevolglik is die owerhede in kennis gestel en die gemeentelede het hulle na die toneel gehaas om ondersoek in te stel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het kom oopsluit; die alarm se liggie het op daardie tydstip nog geflikker. Ons het gesien een van die voorste vensters was oop; die diefwering was gedeeltelik oopgebuig. Die veiligheidshek is met vermoedelik \u2019n koevoet oopgebreek, en die voordeur se panele is uitgeslaan,\u201d het Cookson ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gemeentelede se hoop dat niks gesteel is nie, het vervaag toe hulle die kerk oopsluit en vind dat die ketel en \u2019n elektriese koord weg is. \u201cEk verneem dat hulle versteur is, want al die ligte het gebrand en die mikrogolfoond was aangeskakel,\u201d het Cookson ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel die gebuite goedere min werd is, bly die probleem ernstig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cookson verduidelik voorts dat inbrekers in \u2019n vorige inbraak deur die einste venster wat oop gevind is, ingebreek en \u2019n dataprojektor en mikrofone gesteel het. Hy vertel ook dat die kerk steeds swaar trek n\u00e1 sy grootste verlies met die heel eerste inbraak toe misdadigers die traliehek en voordeur oopgebreek en die kerk \u201cleeggedra\u201d het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle het alles gevat \u2013 tot die borde en koppies, en selfs die mikrogolfoond en yskas met die kerk se kruiwa.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die vraag waarom hy dink die kerk geteiken word, het Cookson ges\u00ea: \u201cEk weet nie. Miskien dink hulle hier is belangrike en waardevolle goed. Ek weet nie, maar, dis \u2019n groot probleem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Cookson is dit noodsaaklik dat die gemeenskap weet dat die kerk, wat daar is vir hulle, geteiken word. \u201cOns gemeenskap moet waaksaam wees; hier is mense wat ons eiendomme en bewegings dophou. Die gemeenskap moet help om die kwaaddoeners vas te trek of te identifiseer \u2013 veral met owerhede wat \u2019n tekort aan hulpbronne ly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
