\u2019n Jong konstruksiewerker is verlede Vrydag op \u2019n bouperseel in Saldanha in \u2019n voorval wat as \u2019n \u201cfratsongeluk\u201d beskryf word, dood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens AO Yolanda Kotze, \u2019n plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder het die voorval Vrydagoggend 12 Augustus op die konstruksieperseel van die Four Oceans-kompleks in Henchcliffstraat langs die polisiekantoor plaasgevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na wat verneem word, was die twee werkers van \u2019n Kaapse kontrakteursfirma Vrydagoggend besig om in \u2019n ondergrondse pyp op die konstruksieperseel te werk, toe die betrokke pyp skielik vol water geword het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die polisie se aankoms op die toneel is hulle ingelig dat twee werkers in \u2019n watergevulde pyp in \u2019n gat in die grond vassit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens een van die talle ooggetuies het die owerhede sowat vyf ure lank gespook om die twee mans uit die pyp te bevry. Swaar masjinerie soos \u2019n laaigraaf en \u2019n graafmasjien is ingespan, asook watertenke, pomp en suiers om die water uit die gat te dreineer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is ook ingespring om met emmers water uit die gat te skep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kotze het bevestig dat al twee mans uiteindelik uit die pyp verwyder is, maar dat net een die nagmerrie-ervaring oorleef het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorlewende is gehospitaliseer en is reeds ontslaan, maar Ronan Serfontein (20) van Kaapstad het tragies in die voorval gesterf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel verdrinking waarskynlik die oorsaak van Serfontein se dood is, \u201cmoet \u2019n mens nie bespiegel nie,\u201d het Kotze gemaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die lykskouingsverslag wat die oorsaak van die jong man se dood moet bevestig, moet eers deur die polisie ontvang word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Geregtelike doodsondersoek is by die Saldanha-polisie ingestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit se burgemeester Andr\u00e9 Truter het sy medelye aan die familie van die oorledene uitgespreek en aan Weslander<\/span> ges\u00ea \u201cwat gebeur het is betreurend. Ek hoop \u2019n volledige ondersoek sal ingestel word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Truter het ook sy dankbaarheid uitgespreek teenoor die munisipaliteit se brandweerdiens-reddingspan, munisipale amptenare, die polisie, Weskus-reddingsdienste en lede van die gemeenskap wat saamgespan het om die lewe van die twee werkers te probeer red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy het in besonder melding gemaak van die brandweerhoof Basil January en Leon Karolus, ook van die brandweer, vir die belangrike rol wat hulle gedurende die reddingspoging gespeel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Weslander<\/span> het uitgereik na Serfontein se familie vir kommentaar, maar teen druktyd is nog geen reaksie ontvang nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Jong konstruksiewerker is verlede Vrydag op \u2019n bouperseel in
