Die veiligheid van raadslede is nou onder die loep nadat Sibusiso Gqeba, Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit (SBM) se raadslid vir wyk 9 (Ongegund, Vredenburg) Donderdagaand 1 September geskiet is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gqeba, \u2019n ANC-raadslid, was as passasier in \u2019n Toyota Conquest onderweg toe die voorval plaasgevind het. Volgens kapt. Tania Helfrich, \u2019n polisiewoordvoerder van die Weskus-distrik, was die polisie Donderdagaand skuins na 20:00 met patrolliediens in George Kerridge besig toe \u2019n lid van die gemeenskap die beamptes voorkeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Verdagte het glo op \u2019n passasier en die bestuurder van die Toyota losgebrand. Die skieter het vermoedelik op die motor gevuur toe dit vanuit Kootjieskloofstraat in Kwikstraat ingedraai het. Die beseerde bestuurder het blykbaar dadelik na die hospitaal gery, want volgens Helfrich het die polisie minute nadat hulle van die voorval ingelig is, die nuus ontvang dat twee pasi\u00ebnte met skietwonde by die Vredenburg-provinsiale hospitaal aangekom het. By nadere ondersoek het die polisie vasgestel dat die passasier, raadslid Gqeba, agt keer in die rug geskiet is en die bestuurder van die motor is in die regterarm getref.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie raadslid is na die Groote Schuur-hospitaal in Kaapstad vervoer. Nege patroondoppies is op die toneel gevind en die ondersoek duur voort om die verdagte op te spoor,\u201d het Helfrich ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die polisie ondersoek \u2019n saak van poging tot moord. Thereza Burger, \u2019n woordvoerder van SBM, het Vrydag 2 September in \u2019n amptelike verklaring van die munisipaliteit ges\u00ea Gqeba is in \u2019n kritieke toestand nadat hy na afloop van \u2019n gemeenskapsvergadering geskiet is. \u201cOns gedagtes is by hom en sy gesin in hierdie moeilike tyd,\u201d het Burger ges\u00ea. Intussen het raadslid Zandile Komani-Nkohla, ANC-hoofsweep vir Saldanhabaai, bevestig gesprekke is aan die gang om die veiligheid van raads\u00adlede aan te pak. Komani-Nkohla s\u00ea \u2019n vergade\u00adring is met die munisipaliteit se speaker gehou om dreigemente en veiligheid te bespreek. \u201cOns verneem daar is nog raadslede, van verskeie politieke partye, wat dreigemente ontvang het. Ons wil graag \u2019n plan sien wat veiligheidsmaatre\u00ebls insluit, want vele raadslede leef nou in vrees,\u201d het hy verduidelik. Weslander<\/i> het in die verlede berig oor \u2019n plaaslike raadslid wie se huis aangeval is vermoedelik weens inwoners se ongelukkigheid met die stand van behuising in hul buurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 raadslid het na die voorval verhuis weens die dreigement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingevolge SBM se beleid kan alternatiewe blyplek vir raadslede gevind word indien hul lewe in gevaar is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Persoonlike beskerming mag ook verskaf word indien die hoof van wetstoepassing en die polisie dit goeddink na aanleiding van \u2019n risiko- assessering. Di\u00e9 besluit moet deur die munisipale bestuurder goedgekeur word. Komani-Nkohla het sy kollega en sy familie sterkte toegewens en verduidelik die party respekteer ook die familie se versoek vir privaatheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helfrich het bevestig die saak is vandeesweek aan die Kaapse eenheid vir georganiseerde misdaad oorgeplaas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
