\u201cOm met \u2019n mes gedreig te word en jy weet jy het geen wegkomkans nie, is die mees vreesaanjaende gevoel ooit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 beskryf die 17-jarige Melisja Matthews van Robertson die gevoel nadat sy verlede Maandag in Hoopstraat met \u2019n mes gedreig en van haar selfoon beroof is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthews het van haar vriendin se huis in Hanistraat af teruggeloop na haar ouerhuis in die Wolwekloof-omgewing net buite die dorp toe \u2019n man haar van agter af verras en gedreig het hy sal haar keel \u201cmorsaf sny\u201d as sy nie aan sy eise voldoen nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die man, met \u2019n bruin gelaat, is waarskynlik in sy vroe\u00eb 20\u2019s. Hy het haar beveel om saam met hom tot by die afdraai na die volgende straat te stap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het net ges\u00ea ek moet saam met hom loop. Ek het gedink ek gaan dalk verkrag word en het heeltyd gebid dat die polisie dalk sal verbyry of iemand my sal help. Ek het begin stap met hom agterna. Hy het net geskree ek moet stop toe ons by die groot boom naby die kerk kom. Hy het ges\u00ea ek moet my sakke leegmaak en alles gee wat ek het. Ek was nog nooit so bang nie,\u201d verduidelik Matthews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthews het haar selfoon vir die man gegee, maar gevra of sy haar geheuekaart kan hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wou net my foto\u2019s graag hou. Die man wou eers nie, maar het toe ingestem. Hy het die foon gevat en ook my armbandjie wat my tannie vir my gekoop het. Ek het darem niks anders by my gehad nie,\u201d voeg sy by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is tans \u2019n leerder by \u2019n skool in Bonnievale, maar kuier vakansies by haar ouers in Robertson en woon dan in die week by haar tannie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk voel nou onveilig in Robertson. Dit is my dorp. Ek is lief vir die dorp, maar ek is nou baie bang.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthews s\u00ea hulle het nie die klagte aangemeld nie, aangesien sy vrees vir die moontlike gevolge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWat as hy terugkom? Wat as hy my dan teiken? Mense kan wreed wees. Ek wil net aangaan met my lewe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Gazette <\/i>het egter van \u2019n soortgelyke voorval verneem waar nog \u2019n skolier van Robertson dieselfde oorgekom het.<\/i>\n<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Gazette <\/i>het na die ouers uitgereik nadat die leerder se ma \u2019n skrywe op Facebook geplaas het waarin sy vertel het haar dogter is deur \u2019n man in die dorp beroof en gedreig.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Volgens die ouers is hul dogter baie getraumatiseerd nadat sy van haar selfoon beroof is.<\/p>\n
Dit is onbekend of hulle \u2019n klagte by die plaaslike polisie aangemeld het. <\/p>\n
In \u2019n vorige berig wat Gazette <\/i>gepubliseer het, het die Robertson-polisie beklemtoon dat \u2019n aktiewe poging reg deur die gemeenskap aangewend gaan word om meer sigbare polisi\u00ebring te bewerkstellig, maar die klem l\u00ea daarop dat mense wat die slagoffers van misdaad is, die voorval by die plaaslike polisiekantoor moet aanmeld. <\/p><\/i>\n\n\n\n
