Nes ‘n eindfluitjie wat net te vinnig geblaas word, s\u00f3 is Shandr\u00e9 “Shakes” Pieters (41), ‘n geliefde rugbypersoonlikheid en afrigter van Vredenburg, se lewe Saterdagaand (24 Mei) kortgeknip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pieters is in ‘n huis in Tweedelaan, Louwville, doodgeskiet \u2013 onder omstandighede wat deel is van die Vredenburg-speurtak se ondersoek. Een verdagte is reeds in hegtenis geneem weens die voorval wat omstreeks 21:45 gebeur het.<\/p>\n\n\n\nShandr\u00e9 Pieters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Die man het reeds vandeesweek in die Vredenburg-landdroshof verskyn \u2013 voorlopig op aanklag van moord \u2013 maar die klag kan dalk verander na gelang van die feite wat bekendraak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Gaynor Bester, sy skoonsuster, was Pieters Saterdagaand in Fairbairnstraat by sy ouerhuis om die vrou met wie hy al twintig jaar sy lewe deel, Chuneila “Zel” Bester, se verjaardag te vier. Hy het gou omgeloop na sy suster se huis daar naby om sy swaer, Theo Wilson, te gaan s\u00ea dat hulle later na ‘n dans toe gaan.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarvandaan is hy na ‘n vriend se huis in Tweedelaan, waar ‘n ander vriend hom geroep het om gou ‘n “doppie” by hulle te kom drink. Die tragedie het hom by di\u00e9 huis afgespeel. Gaynor vertel dat iemand Chuneila kom roep het. Sy is meegedeel sy moet gaan kyk \u2013 Shakes is in Tweedelaan geskiet. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met haar aankoms by die huis het sy Shandr\u00e9 in die huis op die grond met ‘n skietwond deur die hart gekry. Hy was reeds dood. “Die mense in die huis kon nie vir Chuneila s\u00ea wie hom geskiet het nie,” het Gaynor ges\u00ea. Pieters was sy hele volwasse lewe by die Vredenburg-rugbyklub betrokke. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was ‘n gerespekteerde figuur in die plaaslike rugbyw\u00eareld \u2013 eers as speler as haker en flank, en die afgelope drie jaar as afrigter van die C-span. Volgens Winslo Jordaan, die klubkaptein, het die C-span onder Pieters se leiding al die nuwe Grootuitdaagliga van die Weskus gewen. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pieters was ook lid van die klubgroep wat die Superliga in 2011 gewen het en het ook vir die Krewe-krieketklub gespeel. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pieters het as haker en flank rugby gespeel \u2013 ook vir die Ho\u00ebrskool Weston, waar hy gematrikuleer het. N\u00e1 skool het hy by Weskus Aluminium (Bonvoy) se motorhuisdeur-afdeling begin werk, waar hy tot met sy afsterwe was. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy skielike heengaan los sy familie, vriende en lede van die Vredenburg-rugbyklub en wyer rugby-geledere in skok en rou. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\nShandr\u00e9 Pieters n\u00e1 ‘n segetog.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Pieters se “ope, eerlike hart” sal Jordaan altyd bybly, s\u00ea hy. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ook hoe hy altyd oor sy klong, Shandr\u00e9 Junior, “wat in alles goed is”, gespog het. Pieters het “nie sommer kwaad geraak nie en sy dorp in sy hart gedra \u2013 veral op die rugbyveld”, het Jordaan ges\u00ea. Gaynor sal hom onthou as iemand wat lief vir mense was \u2013 “\u2009’n regte terggees wat hom aanhoudend ‘dik’ gehou het”. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Jy het kwaad geraak vir hom, maar moes agterna maar net weer lag vir sy skerp sin vir humor,” onthou sy met deernis. “Shandr\u00e9 was ‘n opgewekte, lewenslustige mens. Never a dull moment as hy naby was.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was ‘n ware gesinsman, pa en staatmaker wat vir sy kinders geleef het. Dit is vir hulle verskriklik swaar om te aanvaar dat hul pa nie meer met hulle is nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Shandr\u00e9 was enig in sy soort en sy dood het ons as familie baie swaar getref. Dit voel nog alles s\u00f3 onwerklik,” het Gaynor afgesluit. Benewens Chuneila word \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shandr\u00e9 oorleef deur sy ouers, Koos en Cathleen Pieters, sy suster Zenobia Pieters, en sy drie kinders, Karishine (21), Tamzine (16) en Shandr\u00e8 Jr (11). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
