\u2019nBekende paartjie in die plaaslike motorfietsklubkringe het Saterdag tragies n\u00e1 \u2019n motorfietssaamtrek in \u2019n botsing op die Hopefield-Velddrifpad gesterf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Gerrie Pieterse, woordvoerder van die Weskus-motorfietsvereniging, het verskeie motorfietsklubs van die Weskus Saterdagoggend 18 Maart aan \u2019n saamtrek, wat deur die Road Thunders-motorfietsklub gere\u00ebl is, ten bate van die diereliefdadig\u00adheids\u00adorganisasie Saldanha Animal Care deelgeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ryers het mekaar by die Hopefieldse padstal Plaasmol ontmoet waar die geldinsamelingsgeleentheid gehou is. Pieterse s\u00ea die ongeluk waarin die egpaar Chantel en Jaco Loubser van Vredenburg gesterf het, het eers n\u00e1 die geleentheid \u2013 \u2019n dag van heerlike samesyn \u2013 plaasgevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaco en Chantel het laatmiddag by die Hopefield Plaasmol op hul motorfiets geklim en saam met \u2019n paar ander ryers besluit om na Velddrif via die Hopefield-Velddrifpad te ry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ongeluk het na bewering tussen 16:00 en 16:40 gebeur nadat Jaco vermoedelik beheer oor die motorfiets naby die silo\u2019s op di\u00e9 pad verloor het. Daar was nie nog \u2019n voertuig of motorfiets in die ongeluk betrokke nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was vir Pieterse hartseer en \u2019n groot skok om van die noodlottige ongeluk te hoor, aangesien Jaco volgens hom \u2019n verantwoordelike en hoogs ervare motorfietsryer was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk glo dit was bloot \u2019n ongeluk,\u201d het hy verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer ons bikers<\/span> so saam op \u2019n plek is, s\u00ea ek altyd vir almal hulle moet mekaar styf druk en behoorlik groet voor ons weer ry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns weet nie wat op die pad kan gebeur en of ons almal mekaar weer volgende keer gaan sien nie,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pieterse s\u00ea Chantel en Jaco was voorheen lede van die Weskus Mohicans-motorfietsklub, maar het Saterdag glo saam met \u2019n ander plaaslike klub gery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gert Venter, president van die Road Thunders-motorfietsklub, s\u00ea Saterdag se geldinsameling en saamtrek het baie goed afgeloop, maar hy s\u00ea die tragiese ongeluk hang soos \u2019n skaduwee oor die sukses daarvan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNiemand het nog ooit seergekry op een van ons saamtrekke nie. Hierdie soort ongelukke gebeur altyd voor of n\u00e1 die geleenthede self. Ons het nie beheer daaroor nie, maar dit bly hartseer,\u201d het Venter ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Venter het ook Jaco as \u2019n \u201cprofessionele ryer\u201d beskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Medelye stroom sedert Saterdagmiddag vir die duidelik geliefde en bekende paartjie op sosialemedia-platforms in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jenny Knipe, Chantel se ma, het haar as \u2019n \u201csagte en liefdevolle\u201d mens beskryf. Sy het ook aan Weslander<\/span> ges\u00ea haar dogter en skoonseun was altyd bereid om ander te help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die egpaar laat hul 12-jarige seun, Lian, agter. Volgens Jenny is sy ouers se dood \u2019n \u201charde slag\u201d vir hom, maar \u201chy is oukei\u201d. Hy is op die oomblik by sy ander oupa en ouma, het Jenny ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaco het by Duferco Steel en Chantel by die MTN-winkel by die Ipic-sentrum in Vredenburg gewerk. Maandag het kopers wat verby die geslote deure van MTN gestap het, gesien mense het blomme in die veiligheidshek van die winkel geplaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jenny s\u00ea die familie is besig met begrafnisre\u00eblings, maar teen druktyd was \u2019n datum vir die diens nog nie bekend nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Augustus 2020 het Weslander<\/span> berig oor plaaslike motorfietsryers Jannie van Zyl, Micheal Hoppzak, Melissa Lotter en \u2019n egpaar in \u2019n motor, Andrew en Janet Wood, wat in \u2019n gru-botsing tussen Langebaan en Saldanha gesterf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hierdie botsing het ook plaasgevind nadat \u2019n geldinsamelingsaamtrek vir Saldanha Animal Care vroe\u00ebr die dag gehou is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019nBekende paartjie in die plaaslike
