Die liggaam van Theodore Sylvester (30) van Kalkfontein wat verlede Donderdag (18 Julie) ten tyde van gure weer in die sterkvloeiende Kuilsrivier-kanaal beland het, is Maandagoggend deur die Stad se brandweerdienste gevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AO Liesel Beukes, plaaslik polisiewoordvoerder, s\u00ea \u2019n reddingspan van die brandweer het om 11:37 op die liggaam in die kanaal agter Riverside Gardens en naby aan die Stellenbosch-hoofverkeersweg afgekom<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het bevestig dat \u2019n geregtelike doodsondersoek geopen is. \u201cFamilielede van die afgestorwene wat op die toneel was, het bevestig dat die liggaam di\u00e9 van die vermiste man is,\u201d s\u00ea Beukes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theo Sylvester wou blykbaar die laagwaterbruggie vir voetgangers tussen Gersham en Kalkfontein oorsteek toe hy in die water beland het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Polisieduikers
Polisieduikers begin Vrydagoggend hul soektog naby die Riverside Gardens-brug.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eshleen Daniels, \u2019n niggie van Sylvester, het Vrydag tydens die soektog na haar neef<\/a> vertel die voorval moes Donderdag kort voor 11:00 gebeur het omdat sy kort daarna \u2019n oproep van \u2019n vrou ontvang het wat naby die kanaal was toe Sylvester meegesleur is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die water het ten tyde van die voorval blykbaar tot bo-oor die bruggie gevloei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kop gegstamp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sylvester het n\u00e1 bewering sy kop gestamp nadat hy geval het en is toe deur die sterk stroom meegesleur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beukes het Vrydag aan TygerBurger<\/a><\/em> ges\u00ea<\/a> volgens \u2019n ooggetuie wou die vermiste (Sylvester) waarskynlik net die kanaal oorsteek toe hy geval, sy kop gestamp en toe stroomaf meegevoer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beukes het toe bevestig die polisie se duikeenheid het Donderdagmiddag reeds uitgekom, maar die duikers was nie in die water nie omdat die stroom te sterk was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ebrahim Sawant, wyksraadslid, het Vrydagoggend tydens die soektog naby die Riverside Gardens-brug ges\u00ea die watervlak het Donderdag ook tot net-net bo-oor hierdie brug, wat \u2019n hele paar honderd meter stroomaf van die voetgangerbrug is, gestyg. Volgens Sawant is \u2019n skoen en \u2019n baadjie van Theo Donderdag gevind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sawant het Donderdagmiddag \u2019n boodskap uitgestuur dat die polisieduikers eers die soektog vir hul eie veiligheid Vrydagoggend voortsit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theo se ma, Charlotte Brinkhuys, het Vrydag kort nadat polisieduikers met \u2019n bootjie die gedeelte van die kanaal tussen die Riverside Gardens-brug en die Stellenbosch-hoofverkeersweg begin fynkam het, langs die kanaal kom staan en wag op nuus oor haar seun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brug<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Daniels het Vrydagmiddag laat ges\u00ea \u2019n hommeltuig is die middag ingespan om met die soektog te help, maar die poging is gou opgeskort omdat die wind te sterk was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die soektog het oor die naweek voortgeduur<\/a> met onder meer \u2019n polisiehelikopter en nooddienste van die Stad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels en nog \u2019n familielid het Maandag Sylvester se liggaam gaan uitken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea spanne van die brandweer het die oggend te voet aan weerskante van die kanaal gesoek toe die liggaam gevind is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels s\u00ea hoewel dit \u2019n groot skok vir Sylvester se ma was, is die familie baie verlig dat sy liggaam wel gevind is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea die gemeenskap het al vantevore versoek dat die voetgangerbrug veiliger gemaak moet word. \u201cAs die brug bietjie ho\u00ebr kan wees en re\u00eblings opgesit kan word, sal dit baie help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sawant s\u00ea die probleem is by die Stad aangemeld. \u201cOns is bewus daarvan en daar was al gesprekke met amptenare om te kyk wat hulle kan doen. Hierdie insident maak dit net nog dringender vir ons om onmiddellik aandag daaraan te gee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
