\u201cNooit sou ek kon dink dat ek helder oordag, hier voor my huis in \u2018n stil straat op Despatch, deel van die gewapende motorkaping-statistiek sou word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So s\u00ea Evette de Jager nadat die rooi Opel Kadett waarin sy gery het op Maandag, 11 April om sowat 07:40 gekaap is toe sy voor haar huis in President Reitz-straat gestop het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaandae is swartsak-dag dan loop hier baie mense in die strate rond. Ek is altyd bewus van wat om my aangaan. Ek het die man gesien, daar was niks verdags aan hom nie,\u201d s\u00ea Evette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het skaars gestop toe ruk hy die kardeur oop. Ek het geskrik en gedink wil die man werk h\u00ea of wat? Toe s\u00ea hy \u2018give me the keys<\/span>\u2019. Ek dog hy maak \u2018n grap, toe s\u00ea hy \u2018start the car<\/span>\u2019 en rig \u2018n pistool op my. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToe panic<\/span> ek en start<\/span> die kar, waarna hy my aan my mou uitgeruk het, ingeklim het en met skreeuende bande weggejaag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het nie omgekyk nie. Al wat ek onthou is sy se wrede o\u00eb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het probeer kophou en dadelik in die huis ingehardloop en Atlas se paniekknoppie gedruk. Toe bel ek \u2018n vriend en my pa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Evette was Atlas binne twee minute op die toneel. Daarna het die polisie sowel as verskeie ander mense opgedaag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie reaksie was ongelooflik goed. Daar was onmiddellik bystand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die woord van Evette se gewapende kaping was uit en dit het op die WhatsApp Despatch-noodgroep gegons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mense is versoek om uit te kyk vir die rooi Opel Kadett met \u2018n spesifieke registrasienommer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018n Veiligheidskamera het die motor afgeneem en om 09:30 is die foto op die Despatch-noodgroep geplaas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2019n Uur later, 10:30, het die polisie die kar in Booysenspark by \u2018n winkelsentrum se parkeerarea gekry. My beursie met al my bankkaarte en ID was weg. Ook die R6 000 kontant wat ek getrek het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evette s\u00ea na die kaping ly sy aan slapeloosheid, lyk almal vir haar verdag, en is sy bang om by \u2018n stopstraat te stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk s\u00ea net dankie Here ek leef. Want in daardie paar sekondes het my hele 42-jaar van lewe voor my afgespeel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy bedank Atlas, Despatch-polisie, die Despatch-noodgroep en almal wat binne minute bystand gebied het, sowel as diegene wat nou nog, dae later, steeds hulle oor haar welstand ontferm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evette s\u00ea haar raad is om nie by jou huis te stop indien daar vreemdes naby is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRy eerder nog \u2018n draai, of laat weet jou noodgroep of sektorpolisie indien iemand verdag lyk. Moet nie probeer dapper wees nie, jou lewe is baie meer werd\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaptein Gerda Swart, polisie- woordvoerder, het bevestig dat daar \u2018n motorkaping-saak op Despatch geopen is en dat die motor dieselfde dag teruggekry is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die polisie het die rooi Opel Kadett binne drie ure na die kaping op Despatch by \u2018n winkelsentrum in Booysenspark opgespoor. <\/div>\n
