Selfs nadat inwoners by \u2019n polisie-indaba by die nasionale polisieminis\u00adter se adviseur, Lennit Max, gekla het oor polisiebrutaliteit, vier dit steeds hoogty in Atlantis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gemeenskapsorganisasie, Concerned Citizens of Atlantis, meen inwoners van Atlantis vrees die polisie meer as wat hulle die bendes vrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt volg nadat daar weereens \u2019n vlaag aanrandings, na bewering deur polisie\u00adbeamptes, oor die feestyd in die ge\u00admeenskap was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Groep van sowat 20 inwoners het nou regshulp ingeroep en is vasbeslote om antwoorde te kry \u2013 al moet hulle die polisieminister hof toe sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jonathan Bridgens van Concerned Citizens s\u00ea die organisasie gaan nie rus totdat daar teen die \u201cskurke in blou\u201d opgetree word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Vergadering is 18 Januarie met senior polisieamptenare, die klaers en \u2019n verteenwoordiger van Alan Winde, Wes-Kaapse minister van veiligheid gehou. Die onafhanklike polisieonder\u00adsoek-direktoraat (Opod), wat bevestig het dat hy die vergadering gaan bywoon, het nie opgedaag nie. Weskus Nuus<\/i> se verslaggewer is ook gevra om die \u201cgeslote vergadering\u201d te verlaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Bridgens, het die Atlantis-polisie se stasiebevelvoerder, kol. Michael Ledimo, by di\u00e9 vergadering beklemtoon geen polisielid het \u2019n reg om mense aan te rand nie. Hy het ook gevra die gemeenskap moet hom kom sien as dit gebeur. Maar die klaers s\u00ea hulle is moeg van kla omdat dit op dowe ore val.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Weskus Nuus<\/i> het vertroulik verneem dat Ledimo se naam ook genoem word onder die lys van polisielede wat na bewering onskuldige mense aanrand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die jongste voorval is \u2019n 15-jarige en twee ander inwoners erg deur poli\u00adsielede aangerand. Die 15-jarige seun van Avondale is erg getraumatiseer nadat hy deur lede van die Atlantis-polisie aangerand en gedreig is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die ma van die tiener, wat uit vrees vir hul veiligheid anoniem wil bly, het die voorval haar seun se lewe verander. Die ma vertel hulle was 18 Januarie tuis toe haar oom oor die muur gespring het met die polisie kort op sy hakke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy oom, \u2019n dwelmverslaafde, is erg deur die polisie op ons erf aangerand. My seun het in die midde getree en gevra waarom hulle hom so wreed aanrand. Die polisielede het hom ook in hegtenis geneem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die 15-jarige het die manne in blou appels geswaai en ges\u00ea, \u201cons sal van jou \u2019n vrou laat maak\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die seun vertel verder hoe hy in die selle die ander gevangenes se kos moes aandra en was ook saam met volwasse mans toegesluit. Die seun het later in die Atlantis-hof verskyn op aanklag dat hy \u2019n polisiebeampte aangerand het en die polisie verhinder het om hul pligte uit te voer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n ander voorval is \u2019n egpaar van Saxonsea gereed om weer hul tasse te pak en terug na Amerika te keer nadat polisiebeamptes glo di\u00e9 man s\u00f3 aange\u00adrand het dat hy sy neusbeen gebreek en sy oordrom gebars het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheslyn Williams en sy vrou Stacey-Lee, het net voor Kersfees na Atlantis teruggekeer nadat hulle twee jaar in Amerika was. \u201cEk wou hi\u00e9r kom bly en werk, want ek is lief vir Atlantis en sy mense,\u201d vertel Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Williams vertel sy vrou het hom Oujaarsaand histeries gebel nadat polisiebeamptes hul huis deursoek het \u2013 glo op soek na dwelms en vuurwapens. \u201cToe ek by die huis aankom, het ek net gevra wie is in beheer, toe bars sewe soorte hel op my los.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Williams s\u00ea hy moes hoor hy wil hom \u201cslim hou\u201d terwyl die houe op hom gere\u00ebn het. \u201cMy vrou en ma was uit die huis geboender terwyl die polisie my slaan en op my kop spring het,\u201d vertel hy. Volgens Williams het die polisiebe\u00adamp\u00adtes niks onwettig in sy huis gekry nie en het hulle glo op \u2019n \u201canonieme wenk gereageer\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is skaars terug in Atlantis en dit gebeur. Ek het \u2019n splinternuwe motor gekoop en die huis mooi gemaak. Mense neem seker nou aan ek is besig met onwettighede. Dink die mense na twee jaar in die buiteland gaan ons met kaalhande teruggekeer?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moses Dlamini, Opod-woordvoerder, het bevestig \u2019n klag van aanranding word teen polisiebeamptes in die voorvalle ondersoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Concerned Citizens-organisasie s\u00ea hy hoop om deur middel van die regsverteenwoordiger siviele eise teen die polisie in te stel en hoop ook om van die skuldige polisielede ontslae te raak. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
