Barney, oftewel George Peters, vermeende bendeleier en een van 17 aangeklaagdes wat op meer as 100 aanklagte van onder meer rampokkery en moord tereg staan, het op Woensdag 26 Maart sy lot teenoor die regter bekla en ges\u00ea hy \u201ckan nie meer die pyn vat, ek wil liewers doodgaan\u201d, as om na die \u201copgemaakte stories\u201d van getuies in die hof te sit en luister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peters (32) het skaars \u2019n dag of drie in die verhoor in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley en kort nadat die eerste getuie oor \u2019n voorval by die Roodepan-polisiekantoor getuig het, sy regsverteenwoordiger van Regshulp Suid-Afrika (SA) in die pad gesteek omdat hy nie \u201cna my instruksies luister nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peters se mede-aangeklaagdes is Britney Arends, Stephanie Mcanda, Simone Rose, Chinaaz Mentoor, Abagail van Wyk, Chane Adams, Micheal Peters, Clive Peters, Deon May, Parmeston Mentoor, Henry Blom, Thabo Sekapano, Vincent Rosen, Tshepo Malambi, Nico Hofuza, en Shawn Smith. Van hulle is Peters se broers, houvroue (sister-wives) en vermeende makkers. Drie van hulle is op borgtog vrygelaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle word gesamentlik of afsonderlik verdink dat hulle by etlike bendeverwante voorvalle vanaf Augustus 2020 tot Februarie 2023 in Kimberley en Kuruman betrokke was. Hulle het glo geld uit dwelmhandel gemaak. Die vroue is glo as dwelmmuile gebruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afgeraai om eie hofsaak te hanteer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Die saak is van verlede week tot vandeesweek verdaag sodat Peters \u0149 ander Regshulp SA verteenwoordiger kan spreek om hom te verteenwoordig, maar hy het die aanbod geweier en Woensdag ges\u00ea hy gaan homself verteenwoordig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regter Alm\u00e9 Stanton het hom afgeraai en ges\u00ea hy moet sy besluit ter wille van homself en geregtigheid heroorweeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peters, wat tydens \u0149 verdaging aan joernaliste ges\u00ea het hy het meer as 30 kinders, het steeds geweier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sit onskuldig in die tronk. My kinders ly. Hulle kan nie skool toe gaan nie, want ander kinders gooi lelike woorde na hulle toe, soos dat hulle pa \u0149 moordenaar is. Ek voel eerder om dood te gaan. Ek kan nie na die opgemaakte vals stories van getuies luister nie. Ek wil myself verskoon.\u201d<\/p>Barney George Peters<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Regter Stanton het verduidelik hy kan homself nie van sy verhoor verskoon nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die staat gaan sy getuienis voorl\u00ea, maar Peters kan deur sy regsverteenwoordiger die getuies kruisondervra en hul weergawes betwis. Aan die einde van die staat se saak kan hy getuig en ook getuies roep. Later kan hy sy saak in sy betoog aan die regter stel.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDie 17 aangeklaagdes op Dinsdag 18 Maart in die beskuldigdebank in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley.

Konflik oor tydsduur, regsverteenwoordigers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Dit blyk uit een van Peters se antwoorde dat hy en van sy medebeskuldigdes mekaar byna te lyf gegaan het oor die kwessie van regsverteenwoordigers en die verwagte lang tydsduur van die verhoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHoekom moet ek na 115 getuies luister? Ek wil eerder by die huis by my familie wees. Hulle suffer,<\/em> want ek is al lank in hegtenis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierop het die regter hom daarop gewys dat sy optrede om sy regsverteenwoordiger af te dank reeds die verhoor met etlike dae vertraag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaar s\u00ea net wat ek verkeerd gedoen het, die ondersoekbeampte kan nie stories oor my opmaak nie,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBarney, oftewel George Peters, op Woensdag 26 Maart in die hof terwyl hy sy lot aan mense in die galery verduidelik. Gewapende polisielede het die hofsaal bewaak. Foto: Charn\u00e9 Kemp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Hy is toe gewaarsku om nie in die meriete van die saak te praat nie, maar aan die regter te s\u00ea of hy \u0149 regsverteenwoordiger gaan aanstel, en of hy homself gaan verteenwoordig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is nie bekend met hofprosesse nie, ek is confused<\/em>,\u201d het hy erken. \u201cDit is \u0149 groot saak, dit is moorde, mense wat doodgemaak is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJuis, dis 117 aanklagte, daarom gaan dit uiters uitdagend vir jou wees om jou eie verdediging te lei,\u201d het Stanton geantwoord.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBarney, oftewel George Peters , het op Woensdag 26 Maart aan joernaliste ges\u00ea hy het \u201cthirty plus\u201d kinders by sy verskillende houvroue. Foto: Charn\u00e9 Kemp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is \u0149 eenvoudige mens, wat in demokrasie glo. Maar ek wil nie na 115 getuies luister wat vals statements<\/em> maak nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy herhaal jouself,\u201d het die regter geantwoord. \u201cEk wil weet of jy \u0149 regsverteenwoordiger aanstel of nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 nog \u0149 verdaging het Peters aan die regter vertel hy is in pyn en “kort lelike operasies\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die regter het hom meegedeel dat die voorgestelde nuwe regshulpverteenwoordiger, wat Afrikaans magtig is, hom Donderdag sal spreek. Op Vrydag 28 Oktober het Peters besluit om van die voorgestelde regsverteenwoordiger te gebruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verhoor is tot 5 Oktober uitgestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Property of Barney’ ‘n ‘verskrikking’<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Met ‘n vorige hofverskyning van di\u00e9 aangeklaagdes het ‘n gemeenskapslid buite die hof ges\u00ea hulle voel veiliger en is verlig dat die meerderheid van beskuldigdes in aanhouding is nadat hul onderskeie borgtogaansoeke misluk het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek s\u00ea jou, hulle was ‘n verskrikking. Daai vroue van Barney kom almal uit goeie huise, kinders met ‘n goeie opvoeding,” het ‘n vrou vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens vorige hofverskynings was die getatoe\u00ebrde woorde “Property of Barney” op die vroulike beskuldigdes se voorkoppe, gesigte en arms sigbaar. Op di\u00e9 betrokke dag in die hof was hulle of swaar gegrimeer of het lang hare hul voorkoppe of klere hul arms bedek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na verwagting kan di\u00e9 saak tot vier jaar duur. Die dossier alleen beslaan 3 400 bladsye.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGeorge Peters, oftewel Barney, in die middel terwyl sy houvroue, oftewel “sister-wives” ‘n kring om hom vorm. Foto: Verskaf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
