\n \u2019n Polisielid wat die gevoel en greep in haar vingers verloor het nadat sy aangeval is, het vyf jaar n\u00e1 haar ontbering die medaljes op \u2019n nasionale skietkompetisie ingeryg.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lt.kol. Samantha Mclean (41) is in 2014 in haar huis op Despatch in die gesig, lyf en hande met \u2019n mes gesteek. Die dokters het ges\u00ea sy sal nooit weer \u2019n wapen kan afvuur nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mclean, groepbevelvoerder van die Gelvandale-speurtak, het ges\u00ea sy was n\u00e1 die aanval vasberade om haar vuurwapen op te tel omdat haar werk dit vereis. Sy het onlangs met \u2019n goue, silwer- en bronsmedalje weggestap op \u2019n nasionale skietkompetisie in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polisielede van agt provinsies, insluitende lede van die weermag in KwaZulu-Natal, korrektiewe dienste en die Private Combat Rifle Association (PCRA) het teen mekaar meegeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het goud in die 300 m-volgehoue vuur-afdeling en brons in die 300 m-snelvuur<\/i>-afdeling van staande skietposisie met \u2019n R5-aanvalsgeweer gewen. Die Oos-Kaapse span, waarvan Mclean die enigste vrouelid was, het gesamentlik die silwermedalje gewen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kol. Michael Brand, haar mentor en vorige bevelvoerder by die Mountweg-polisiekantoor, het haar in 2016 aangemoedig om haar struikelblokke te oorkom. Hy het haar na die skietbaan in Addo geneem om te begin oefen en na die weermagbasis in Grahamstad vir uitdunne in die afdeling vir die R5-aanvalsgeweer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mclean het in dieselfde jaar die polisie se provinsiale skietspan gehaal en sy is in 2017 vir die nasionale span gekies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het goue en bronsmedaljes op die South African Combat Rifle Association (SACRA) se nasionale kompetisie in Bloemfontein gewen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weens werkverpligtinge kon sy nie in 2018 aan die nasionale kompetisie in Johannesburg deelneem nie, hoewel sy gekwalifiseer het in die 9 mm-pistoolkategorie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 ma van twee seuns het in 2008 ook te\u00ebspoed gehad toe haar 18 maande oue seun by hul huis verdrink het. \u201cEk vergelyk enige negatiewe voorval of situasie wat ek teekom met die dood van my seuntjie. Niks is erger nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMoet nooit opgee voordat jy eers probeer het nie,\u201d is haar leuse, s\u00ea Mclean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
