Dit het in hartseer en trauma vir baie ge\u00ebindig toe skieters op &#8216;n taxi-eienaar voor die Atlantis Sekond\u00eare Skool losgebrand het. Een leerder is doodgeskiet en twee is in die proses gewond.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Die voorval het die lewe van baie jong mense onherroeplik verander en die bloedige toneel is vir altyd in hul jong lewens vasgemessel, het die skool in &#8216;n brief ges\u00ea. Die voorval, wat wyd veroordeel word, kan nie ge\u00efgnoreer word omdat dit voor die hekke van &#8216;n plek van opvoeding, wat veilig moet wees,  plaasgevind het nie, lui die brief. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Niemand kan die voorval in &#8216;n rassehaatvoorval verander nie, omdat ons met almal raas en almal liefhet \u2013 ongeag ras en geslag \u2013 omdat hulle kinders is; ons kinders,&#8221; s\u00ea die skool.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die koe\u00ebls was na bewering bedoel vir Eugene Titus (42), algemeen bekend as &#8220;Spoed&#8221;. Hy het voor die skool op sy passasiers gesit en wag toe onbekende mans, wat vermoedelik reeds &#8216;n geruime tyd voor die skool rondgedrentel het, op hom toegeslaan het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens kapt. Lisa Munro, &#8216;n polisie-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>woordvoerder, is Titus verskeie kere ge-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tref, terwyl &#8216;n 14-jarige graad-8-leerder,\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>wat van die koe\u00ebls probeer wegkom het, deur &#8216;n paar koe\u00ebls in die bors getref is en op die skoolterrein voor ander leer-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ders inmekaargesak en gesterf het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens &#8216;n betroubare bron het Titus onlangs &#8216;n soortgelyke aanval oorleef, waarna hy glo al verskeie kere weer met die dood gedreig is.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twee mense, onder wie &#8216;n taxieienaar\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>en &#8216;n taxibestuurder, is op Dinsdag 24\u2009Februarie doodgeskiet. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens Munro het die voorval vroegaand by die taxi-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>staanplek in Witsand plaasgevind. Een man is op die toneel doodgeskiet, terwyl die ander slagoffer kort daarna in die Wesfleur-hospitaal gesterf het. Dit bring die aantal slagoffers in voortslepende taxigeweld in Atlantis op vier te staan. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die tweede voorval voor die skool, wat volgens bronne &#8216;n wraakaanval was, het die Atlantis-gemeenskap tot in sy fondamente geskok.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die polisie het bevestig die voorval is n\u00ed\u00e9 bendeverwant nie en word deur die taxigeweldeenheid ondersoek.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens &#8216;n ingeligte bron was die twee oorledenes in Witsand lede van Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) terwyl Spoed &#8216;n lid van die Congress of Democratic Taxi Associations (Codeta) was.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens Munro is een verdagte vir dwarsboming van die gereg aangekeer.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intussen het Geordin Hill-Lewis, die burgemeester van Kaapstad, aangekondig dat die Stad Kaapstad &#8216;n beloning van tot R100 000 aanbied vir inligting wat tot die inhegtenisneming en skuldigbevinding van die skuldiges sal lei.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ons staan saam met die vredeliewende inwoners van Atlantis wat nie hoef te ly as gevolg van interne gevegte tussen taxibase nie,&#8221; s\u00ea Hill-Lewis. &#8220;Ons treur diep saam met die families van die slagoffers, insluitend die jong leerder wat tragies doodgeskiet is.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/weskusnuus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC_0802_47043.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>Die 14 jarige graad-8-leerder Dayna-Lee Coetzee het op die skoolperseel gesterf nadat sy verskeie kere in die bors getref is.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murphy Roberts Hoekom moet onskuldige kinders die prys betaal vir dade waarby hulle nie betrokke is nie \u2013 di\u00e9 wat verantwoordelik is, moet vir hul dade boet.
