<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMaandagoggend was Carol oorstelp om tussen \u2019n hoop halfgebrande, swartgesmeerde klere \u2019n fotoalbum met foto\u2019s van Kyle as baba te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy baba, my baba,\u201d het sy met trane in haar o\u00eb ges\u00ea toe sy op die stukkie herinnering afkom wat sy seker was verlore is. Buiten dat die buiteblaaie swart verbrand is, was die foto\u2019s binne-in ongeskonde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Entjie verder het sy ook op \u2019n klein foto\u2019tjie van haar ma afgekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verder is alles wat hulle in 14 jaar in di\u00e9 huis bymekaargemaak het, tot niet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hul vyf honde, waaronder twee worshonde, \u2019n Dobermann pinscher en \u2019n skaaphond, het gelukkig ook ongedeerd uit die brandende huis gekom, en word tans deur \u2019n weldoener versorg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Tereza Burger, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit, het hul beheerkamer omstreeks 13:25 \u2019n oproep gekry dat die huis aan die brand is, wat aan die brandweerdienste deurgegee is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met hul aankoms op die toneel was die huis reeds in vlamme gehul en die brandweerpersoneel het met brandbestryding begin. Die brand was teen 16:20 geblus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Gastehuis-eienaar van Saldanha kon die Venters tot vandag (Donderdag 29 Februarie) gratis verblyf aanbied en hulle het reeds na \u2019n paar huureiendomme in Vredenburg gaan kyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
