\u2019n Buurtwaglid van Vredenburg wat \u2019n aanrandingsklag in die gesig staar, s\u00ea hy \u201chet niks verkeerd gedoen nie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sammy Springleer (63), \u2019n lid van die Ou Dorp-buurtwag in Vredenburg, was gister (Woensdag 15 Februarie) weer in die plaaslike landdroshof met betrekking tot \u2019n klag van aanranding met die doel om ernstig te beseer, wat in November verlede jaar teen hom aanhangig gemaak is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is valslik beskuldig,\u201d het Springleer Dinsdag aan Weslander<\/span> ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToe ek verlede jaar in hegtenis geneem is, het niemand my \u2019n kans gegun om my kant van die storie te vertel nie,\u201d het Springleer ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy reputasie en die buurtwag se reputasie is op die spel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTot dusver het die ondersoekbeampte my DNS kom neem, maar nie my verklaring nie,\u201d het Springleer vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy het op aanbeveling van die polisie sy skriftelike verklaring van sy weergawe van gebeure ingedien toe hy \u2019n teensaak van intimidasie teen die jong man aanhangig gemaak wat die aanrandingsklag teen hom ingedien het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Weslander<\/span> het in Desember verlede jaar berig \u2019n jong man van Vredenburg, Garth Erasmus (21), het \u2019n strafsaak teen Springleer gemaak, nadat di\u00e9 betrokke lid hom glo aangerand het terwyl hy Saterdagaand 19 November na sy huis gestap het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Garth se pa, Arthur, het die buurtwaglid uit sy voertuig geklim en Garth herhaaldelik met traangas gespuit. Hy het glo Garth met \u2019n knuppel aangerand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arthur, wat self \u2019n aktiewe lid van \u2019n buurtwag in Saldanha is, het vertel sy seun het moeilikheidmakers, wat besig was om op straat te drink, uit die woonbuurt verwyder toe die voorval plaasgevind het. Sy seun is volgens hom nie die een wat die rus verstoor het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Springleer het in sy verklaring vertel dat hy tydens sy patrolliediens drie luidrugtige jong mans op straat gekry wat gestaan en drink het. Hy het gaan ondersoek instel nadat mense op die buurtwag se WhatsApp-groep gekla het dat die rus verstoor word en bierbottels in die openbaar stukkend gegooi word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy beweer die mans was dronk, aggressief en het nie gehoor gegee aan sy versoek om die bure te respekteer nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In sy verklaring vertel hy in \u2019n neutedop dat die mans hom wou aanval en dat hy vir sy lewe gevrees het aangesien hulle drie jong mans teen een bejaarde man was. Hy was ook bang die mans beskadig sy voertuig, aangesien daar vroe\u00ebr die aand bierbottels na \u2019n ander buurtwaglid se voertuig gegooi is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het die aanvallers met pepersproei gespuit en die voorste man aan sy arm, wat teen my opgelig was, gegryp om te keer dat hy sy stok teen my voertuig of dalk myself neerslaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaarna het ek met my vrye hand my knuppel oor sy bene geraps terwyl ek probeer het om sy wapen by hom weg te neem. Ek was onder druk om dit so vinnig as moontlik te doen voordat die aanvaller, wat \u2019n bottel as wapen in sy hand gehad het, van die pepersproei kon herstel om my aan te val,\u201d vertel Springleer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNadat ek suksesvol die eerste aanvaller ontwapen het, het ek terug in my voertuig gespring om na veiligheid te jaag. Met my uittog het die buurtwaglid wat voorheen op die toneel was, en wat ook met \u2019n bottel gegooi is, by die toneel opgedaag.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Uur later het die buurtwag weer glo die betrokke jong man op straat gevind. Volgens Springleer het die man \u2019n video van die buurtwaglede gemaak, terwyl hy hulle vloek, uitjou en uitdaag om hom weer te kom slaan. Springleer s\u00ea hulle het nie weer gereageer op die man wat hulle probeer uitlok het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terwyl al hierdie dinge plaasgevind het, was die polisie deurlopend ingelig van die gebeure en is \u2019n polisievoertuig uitgestuur om bystand te lewer indien nodig. Volgens kapt. Tania Helfrich, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die Weskus-polisiedistrik, was die betrokke buurtwaglid se eerste hofverskyning op 8 Desember. Springleer het weer 31 Januarie en 15 Februarie in die hof verskyn. Die saak is met die laaste hofverskyning \u2019n derde keer uitgestel vir konsultasie met Springleer se prokureur wat nie teenwoordig was in die hof nie, aangesien hy siek was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het niks verkeerd gedoen nie. God het my vrede gegee oor hierdie klag teen my.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy hoop die klag sal op \u2019n gebrek aan meriete van die hofrol geskrap word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy s\u00ea dit mag nie toegelaat word dat mense onverantwoordelik en wetteloos optree, terwyl diegene wat die vrede bewaar en die wet moet afdwing, soos misdadigers behandel word nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
