Inwoners en vrywilligers van Bronville soek Saterdag (08\/01) na Nadio (5) en Marshall Pienaar (7) se lyke in \u2019n myndam by Welkom.<\/div>\n

Die Matjhabeng-munisipaliteit sal die begrafniskoste van die boeties wat Saterdag (08\/01) by Bronville in \u2019n slikdam verdrink het, betaal, maar vir inwoners van di\u00e9 woonbuurt is dit nie goed genoeg nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nadio (5) en Marshall Pienaar (7) het Saterdag tydens \u2019n swemmery verdrink toe Marshall na \u2019n dieper deel van die dam beweeg het en sy voete in die diep kleilaag op die bodem vasgesit het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy kleinboet wou hom gaan help toe hy ook onder die water verdwyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die seuns se ma, Nadia, het Maandag verslae en stil op \u2019n stoel buite die gesin se huis gesit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die seuns se oom, Koot Pienaar, s\u00ea die twee seuns was onafskeidbaar \u2013 soos hulle gelewe het, so is hulle ook saam dood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koot s\u00ea hy sou die naweek met sy Jet-kaart vir Marshall gaan skoolklere en skryf\u00adbehoeftes koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marshall sou hierdie week vir die eerste keer skool toe gaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit sou \u2019n surprise<\/em><\/span>wees, maar nou is my surprise<\/em><\/span>weg,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel die polisie s\u00ea die seuns se verdrinking is eers Sondag aangemeld, het inwoners aan Netwerk24 ges\u00ea drie seuns, wat saam met die twee broers geswem het, het Saterdag na die polisiekantoor gehardloop om hulp te soek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die seuns het glo nog geleef toe die kinders gaan hulp soek het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die plaaslike polisie kon nie veel doen nie en het ges\u00ea hulle moet vir die polisie\u00adduikers wag wat in Brandfort was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liam Brand (10), \u2019n maat van die Pienaar-broers, het vir die polisie gaan wys waar hy hulle laaste in die dam gesien het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die lykies is Sondagoggend uit die dam verwyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stella Hallam, \u2019n inwoner van Bronville, s\u00ea die gemeenskap meen daar word niks gedoen om hul kinders te beveilig nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea die gemeenskap vra al jare lank dat die slik\u00addamme omhein word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel die damme oorspronklik deur mynmaatskappye gebruik is, is dit volgens Sihle Maake, woordvoerder van Harmony Gold, die munisipaliteit se eiendom en is hulle daarvoor verant\u00adwoordelik om dit op gepaste wyse te beveilig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaar is reeds in 2020 \u2019n splinternuwe swembad gebou, maar nou s\u00ea hulle die swembad kan nie amptelik oopgemaak word nie omdat daar nie geld vir die openingseremonie is nie,\u201d s\u00ea Hallam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns meen die kinders sou nie by slikdamme gaan swem het as daar \u2019n swembad was nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hallam s\u00ea winkels in Welkom gooi onwettig ou, verrotte kos en lekkergoed teen die woonbuurt weg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die kinders gaan tel glo hiervan op en eet dit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die ANC-raadslid van Bronville, Sipho Tsunke, het Maandag ges\u00ea die munisipaliteit sou vir die seuns se begrafnis betaal en die gesin ook op ander maniere bystaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die twee boeties word deur hul ma, ouer broer, Urban (17), en suster, Melissa (9), oorleef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog geen begrafnisre\u00eblings is getref nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
