Daar word steeds gesoek na \u2018n man van Kalkfontein wat
\nDonderdag 18 Julie in die sterk vloeiende Kuilsrivier-kanaal beland het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Eshleen Daniels, \u2019n niggie van die vermiste Theodore
\nBrinkhuys (31), wou Theo die laagwaterbruggie vir voetgangers tussen Gersham en
\nKalkfontein oorsteek toe hy in die water beland het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy reken dit moes kort voor 11:00 gebeur het omdat sy kort
\ndaarna \u2019n oproep van \u2019n vrou ontvang het wat naby die kanaal was toe Theo
\nweggevoer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die water het ten tyde van die voorval blykbaar tot bo-oor
\ndie bruggie gevloei. Theo het n\u00e1 bewering sy kop gestamp nadat hy geval het en
\nis toe deur die sterk stroom meegevoer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AO Liesel Beukes, woordvoerder van die Kuilsrivier-polisie,
\nhet Vrydag ges\u00ea volgens \u2019n ooggetuie wou die vermiste (Theo) waarskynlik net
\ndie kanaal oorsteek toe hy geval, sy kop gestamp het, en toe stroomaf meegevoer
\nis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beukes het bevestig die polisie se duikeenheid het
\nDonderdagmiddag uitgekom, maar die duikers was nie in die water nie omdat die
\nstroom te sterk was. \u201cDie ondersoek is aan die gang, maar \u2019n dossier is nog nie
\noopgemaak nie omdat daar nog na die liggaam gesoek word\u201d, het Beukes ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ebrahim Sawant, wyksraadslid, het Vrydagoggend tydens die
\nsoektog naby die Riverside Gardens-brug vertel dat die watervlak Donderdag ook
\ntot net-net bo-oor hierdie brug, wat \u2019n hele paar honderd meter stroomaf van
\ndie voetgangerbrug is, gestyg het. Volgens Sawant is \u2019n skoen en \u2019n baadjie van
\nTheo Donderdag gevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sawant het Donderdagmiddag \u2019n boodskap uitgestuur dat die
\npolisieduikers eers die soektog vir hul eie veiligheid Vrydagoggend sou
\nvoortsit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Theo se ma, Charlotte Brinkhuys, het Vrydag kort nadat
\npolisieduikers met \u2019n bootjie die gedeelte van die kanaal tussen die Riverside
\nGardens-brug en die Stellenbosch-hoofverkeersweg begin fynkam het, langs die
\nkanaal kom staan en wag op nuus oor haar seun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniels het Vrydagnamiddag ges\u00ea die polisie het die middag
\n\u2018n hommeltuig probeer inspan om met die soektog te help, maar die poging is gou
\nopgeskort omdat die wind te sterk was. Sy het later laat weet dat \u2018n
\nsoek-en-reddingspan van die brandweer ook kom help soek het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
