Geen genade is verlede week in die Paarl-streekhof betoon by die vonnisoplegging van \u2019n skrootdief van Mbekweni nie. En hierdeur word skrootdiewe voorts gewaarsku \u2013 die gereg gaan nie langer hierdie sabotasie duld nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Streeklanddros Patrick Ross het in sy uitspraak hard gepraat oor die toename en vergrype van mense. Diegene wat infrastruktuur vernietig of beskadig of daarmee peuter, moet weet dat hulle \u2019n minimum vonnis van 15 jaar opgel\u00ea kan word \u2013 en dis net vir eerste oortreders, het Ross beklemtoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die beskuldigde, Khumbulani Ntsiye (28), is in 2018 deur \u2019n veiligheidswag by die Hugenote-stasie gesien toe hy teen \u2019n paal opgeklim en elektriese kabels geknip het. Hy was met \u2019n harnas aan die paal vas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wag het alarm gemaak. Twee polisiebeamptes het opgedaag en die gebied gefynkam, en Ntsiye is betrap waar hy in lang gras naby die treinspoor weggekruip het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het \u2019n harnas en handskoene asook geknipte elektriese kabels by hom gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ntsiye het in die hof beweer hy was die oggend omstreeks 04:45 op pad na sy werksplek toe hy in hegtenis geneem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hof het egter danksy die staat se getuienis bevind dat Ntsiye wel die daad gepleeg het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ross het ges\u00ea hierdie dade kom neer op sabotasie en word ten sterkste veroordeel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNou die dag het iemand sy lewe verloor omdat hy met kragdrade gelol het. Dis nie net Prasa, Telkom of munisipaliteite wat deurloop nie, maar dit het ook \u2019n groot uitwerking op ons ekonomie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaardie dag kon mense nie werk toe gaan nie, kinders kon nie skool toe gaan nie, mense is sonder vervoer gelaat en moes ander re\u00eblings tref.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die staatsaanklaer, Enslin Orange, het die hof gevra om die plaag van soortgelyke diefstalle te stop en die beskuldigde lang tronkstraf op te l\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ross het ges\u00ea die hof het die meer as drie jaar wat Ntsiye verhoorafwagtend was by vonnisoplegging in aanmerking geneem, asook die beskuldigde se persoonlike omstandighede. Maar die erns van die daad kan nie hierdeur verbloem word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is geen ander straf vir die dade nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ntsiye is 12 jaar gevangenisstraf opgel\u00ea, waarvan vier jaar opgeskort word vir vyf jaar. Die beskuldigde is ook onbevoeg verklaar om \u2019n vuurwapenlisensie te bekom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
