Wyle Christiano van Rheenen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeamptes van die Nasionale Seereddingsintituut (NSRI) het sy liggaam opgemerk tydens ‘n gesamentlike soektog met die Saldanha-seegrenseeneheid en lede van openbare-orde-polisie-eenheid van Vredenburg, die rampbestuur-afdeling en wetstoepassinglede van die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit, en nooddienste West Coast Medical Rescue en EMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die sterk wind wat gewaai het, het genoodsaak dat die NSRI die liggaam oorgegee aan ‘n boot van die seegrenseenheidna Peperbaai neem, waar dit omstreeks 19:20 aan die polisie se patologiese eenheid oorgegee is. Die Van Rheenen-gesin, wat teen daardie tyd reeds die hartseer tyding gekry het, het by Peperbaai gewag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit volg kort op die hakke van die tragiese verdrinkings van Danielle van Wyk (25) op Dinsdag 7 Oktober by Tietiesbaai, Paternoster, en Rosco Erasmus (13) op Vrydag 26 September by Rooibaai in Laaiplek, Velddrif. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Carol Feris van rampbestuur is die nuus n\u00e1 die uitgebreide soektog dat Van Rheenen verdrink het, met uiterste sorg, sensitiwiteit en respek aan sy vriende en gemeenskapslede by die Saldanha-polisiekantoor oorgedra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is ‘n hartverskeurende verlies vir die Saldanha-gemeenskap, veral vir sy vriende wat saam met Van Rheenen op die strand was. Maurice Goliath van EMS het hulle vir skok behandel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joey Pieters, ko\u00f6rdineerder van die Saldanhabaai-veiligheidsinisiatief (SBSI), het vir die teenwoordiges gebid en ‘n boodskap van ondersteuning gegee, terwyl kapt. Joseph Olifant die gevare van strande, en die belangrikheid van ouers en voogde se toesig wanneer kinders di\u00e9 feesseisoen na strande gaan, benadruk het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feris het haar bekommernis uitgespreek oor die moontlike emosionele impak van die tragedie waarmee van di\u00e9 kinders gaan sukkel. Hulle sou Maandag 1 Desember trauma-berading by die departement van maatskaplike dienste ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns diepste meegevoel, gedagtes en gebede is met die oorledene se familie, vriende en gemeenskap gedurende hierdie moeilike tyd,\u201d het Feris ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Saldanha-polisie ondersoek die voorval maar geen gemene spel word vermoed nie, want Van Rheenen het geen sigbare beserings gehad nie en was slegs in ‘n kortbroek geklee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amper-verdrinking naby Langebaan-seiljaklub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nVanoggend (30 November) moes dieselfde nooddienste hulle haas na \u0149 amper-verdrinking naby die Langebaan-seiljagklub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elowayne Gouws van West Coast Medical Rescue het ges\u00ea die pasi\u00ebnt was by sy bewussyn met hul aankoms op die toneel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Gouws het die boot waarin die pasi\u00ebnt en sy vriende was, op \u0149 sandbank vasgesit terwyl hulle garnale gepomp het. Hoogwater het egter ingekom en die boot het losgekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die groep het glo agter die boot aangeswem, maar gesukkel om op die boot te klim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die seegrenseenheid het die pasi\u00ebnt van die boot na die oewer van die strandmeer gebring en vir tekens van verkluiming behandel voordat hy na ‘n Vredenburgse hospitaal geneem is. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
