\u2019n Bekende sakeman in die noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad, Bessie Bester, is verlede Donderdag omstreeks 12:45 dood in \u2019n botsing met \u2019n petroleumgas-tenkwa op die Weskuspad naby Mamre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bester, wat in Vredekloof gebly het, was die eienaar van die sakeonderneming Bessie Bester Vervoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TygerBurger<\/em> verneem dat Bester volgens die vragmotorbestuurder, wat nie ernstig beseer is nie, glo beheer oor sy Daihatsu Sirion verloor het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy is op die toneel dood verklaar deur paramedici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die tenkwa, wat 10 000 liter hoogs vlambare vloeibare petroleumgas vervoer het, het in die pad omgeslaan en die ho\u00ebrisiko-toneel is met \u2019n radius van 3 km afgesper om \u2019n moontlike ontploffingsone te versag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Stad Kaapstad se brandweer- en reddingspersoneel is dadelik na die toneel ontbied en moes in die ontploffingsone werk om te verseker dat daar nie enige gasdampe uit die tenkwa lek nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGespesialiseerde tegniese reddingstoerusting moes gebruik word om vonke te voorkom,\u201d s\u00ea JP Smith, die Stad Kaapstad se burgemeesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reddingspersoneel het op die toneel gewag vir die kontrakteur om die petroleumgas uit die tenkwa te verwyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 na aan hom vermoed Bester, ook \u2019n oudspeurder in Kaapstad, was ten tye van sy dood onderweg na Dwarskersbos, waar sy ma woon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanessa da Costa, sy besigheidsbestuurder, s\u00ea sy dood word betreur. \u201cMense was lief vir hom. Hy was \u2019n groot man met \u2019n groot hart, \u2019n goeie ou. Hy was altyd bereid om mense in nood te help en daarvoor moet hy vereer word. Hy het baie hard gewerk \u2013 dag en nag om di\u00e9 nuwe besigheid op die been te kry,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bester was vroe\u00ebr die eienaar van die Withuis Sosiale Klub in Vredekloof. Die besigheid was egter genoodsaak om sy deure toe te maak tydens die pandemie nadat Bester vir bykans twee maande met Covid-19 in die hospitaal aan \u2019n ventilator gekoppel was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huldeblyke het sedert die ongeluk op sosiale media ingestroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBessie was \u2019n \u2018legend\u2019 in Brackenfell,\u201d skryf Marie Antoinette Vos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ook Liezl Rover Smith het haar meegevoel betuig. \u201cDis baie hartseer nuus. Hy was welbekend en baie geliefd in die noordelike voorstede. Baie sterkte aan sy familie. Ons dink almal aan julle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinette Maritz skryf \u201cBessie was die een wat ons kon vertrou om ons betyds by die lughawe te kry. Altyd stiptelik en vriendelik. Rus in vrede, Bessie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pauline Deetlefs Botha skryf: \u201cHy was \u2019n goeie mens, saam met hom gewerk by Kaapstad-Sentraal-speurtak. Was vir my \u2019n groot skok. Rus sag Willem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerrie Roos skryf: \u201cThe Cape will be empty without you Bessie. Rest in peace my friend, you were a big star.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bester was ook vir langer as 20 jaar welbekend in motorsportkringe \u2013 eers as \u2019n renjaer in die GTi Challenge en Golf Clubmans by Killarney en daarna as sponsor en mentor. \u201cHy was lief vir karre en was lief om te bestuur. Hy was lid van die Killarney-familie vir baie jare. Sy dood is hartverskeurende nuus vir ons,\u201d het die Killarney-resiesbaan op sy sosiale media-blad geskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bester word oorleef deur sy dogter, Nicole (24), sy ma, Magda, sy broer Francois, sy skoonsuster Letitia en hul twee dogters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
