\u2019n Beweerde swendelaar wat die Drakenstein-vallei die afgelope paar maande geteister het, is op 21 September vasgetrek nadat hy sowat R31 000 by Paarlse plaaseienaars gesteel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit is volgens kapt. Louise du Plessis, woordvoerder van die Paarl-polisie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die vermeende swendelaar, genaamd Gert Strydom, maar wie ook as Wessel en Piet Strydom bekendstaan, is so ver bronne se kennis strek sedert Desember 2023 in die Drakenstein en spesifiek in die Paarl gewaar, waar hy veral bejaardes teiken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens \u2019n bron is Strydom aangestel om \u2019n elektriese heining om \u2019n plaas buite in Noorder-Paarl op te knap. Die eienaars het hom R31 000 betaal, waarna hy blykbaar spoorloos verdwyn het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Klagte is daarna by die Paarl-polisie aangemeld, waarna Strydom in hegtenis geneem is nadat \u2019n burgerlike inhegtenisname, deur die plaasbestuurder uitgeoefen is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Paarl-landdroshof het bevestig dat Strydom in aanhouding sal bly tot sy volgende hofverskyning op 8 Oktober.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Paarl Post<\/span> het reeds in Julie vanjaar oor sy beweerde onwettige aktiwiteite berig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het homself as \u2019n kontrakteur onder die vaandel van verskeie maatskappye voorgedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ander gebiede waarvan die Paarl Post <\/span>kennis dra waar Strydom ook na bewering met gesteelde geld spoorloos verdwyn het, sluit in Gauteng, Struisbaai, Stellenbosch asook dele van Kaapstad, soos Parow, Monte Vista en Plumstead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens \u2019n Paarlse sakeman, wat Strydom in Desember 2023 in diens geneem het en nie sy naam genoem wil h\u00ea nie om sy onderneming se reputasie te beskerm, het hy talle klagtes oor Strydom se diens ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die twee se paaie het uiteindelik in Februarie vanjaar geskei toe die eienaar Strydom afgedank het weens die beweerde swendelaar se onwettige aktiwiteite tydens sy indiensneming by di\u00e9 Paarlse konstruksie-onderneming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van die beweerde onwettige aktiwiteite sluit in ooreenkomste om sonpanele of omsetters te laat installeer, waarna die klante na bewering hul deposito\u2019s, of in sommige gevalle die totale bedrag van die installeringsfooi, verloor het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ander gevalle sluit in waar Strydom hom glo as \u2019n rekenaartegnikus en -programmeerder voorgedoen het en daarna met die klante \u2013 onder andere \u2019n bekende fisioterapie-praktyk \u2013 se geld skoonveld is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Paarlse inwoner wat tans in Gauteng woon en met wie die Paarl Post<\/span> gepraat het, het Strydom aangestel om sy swembad te diens, maar is toe R21 000 kwyt nadat Strydom met die geld verdwyn het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens hom het Strydom \u2019n deposito gevra, waarna hy voorgestel het dat \u2019n nuwe swembadpomp ook aangeskaf moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toe die eienaar die geld oorbetaal, het Strydom na bewering egter daarmee verdwyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapt. Nowonga Sukwana, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Wes-Kaapse polisie, het reeds op 2 Julie bevestig dat Strydom verskeie aanklagte (meer as 10) in die gesig staar \u201cwat wissel van bedrog tot aanranding\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Sukwana is baie van di\u00e9 sake immers teruggetrek weens onvoldoende bewyse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
