Booswigte het hul kloue by ‘n plek van aanbidding ingeslaan toe hulle verlede week by die VGK Worcester-Oos in Van Huyssteenlaan in Worcester ingebreek en klanktoerusting ter waarde van sowat R30\u2009000 gesteel het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AO Vathiswa Jacobs, ‘n polisiewoordvoerder, bevestig die polisie ondersoek ‘n huisbraak- en diefstalsaak.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea niemand is nog in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem nie.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ds. John Willemse, leraar by die VGK Worcester-Oos, s\u00ea die inbraak moes Dinsdagnag of Woensdag (23 Julie) in die vroe\u00eb oggend-ure plaasgevind het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea toe die koster, Neville Adams, later Woensdagoggend by die kerk opdaag, het hy gemerk die veiligheidshek voor die kerk se sydeur asook die traliehek wat na die kerksaal lei, staan oop.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die twee hekke se slotte was netjies oopgeknip of afgesaag. Volgens hom het Adams onmiddellik besef daar is by die kerk ingebreek.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Willemse s\u00ea by nadere ondersoek is vasgestel dat die inbrekers vyf mikrofone, twee klankmengers en een luidspreker gesteel het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom het hulle die kabels wat na die klankmenger lei wat agter in die kerk staan, afgeknip. Hy s\u00ea ‘n brandblusser wat aan die kerk behoort, is in die kerk se tuin aangetref.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Willemse het die inbrekers die tweede luidspreker nader aan die sydeur geskuif wat daarop dui dat hulle van plan was om dit ook later te kom steel.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die boosdoeners moes tydens die inbraak van kerse gebruik gemaak het omdat daar kersvet op ‘n gedeelte van die mat voor die preekstoel gel\u00ea het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Willemse is ‘n tang wat vermoedelik in die voorval gebruik is, ook op die toneel aangetref.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hoewel ons mismoedig is dat so iets in die kerk gebeur het, is ons nie platgeslaan nie. Ons gaan voort.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ten minste is die kerk nie aan die binnekant gevandaliseer nie. Hulle het net ingekom, gevat en toe gaan hulle.”\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Willemse was daar altesame vier begrafnisdienste die afgelope Saterdag in die kerk.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea Shaheen Bergh van Worcester was die kerk baie goedgesind toe hy al sy klanktoerusting vir di\u00e9 doel beskikbaar gestel het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bergh het sy klanktoerusting Sondag (27 Julie) ook beskikbaar gestel toe ‘n konfe\u00adrensie by die kerk gehou is.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Die kerkraad en gemeente spreek regtigwaar ons opregte waardering uit, want ons was in ‘n doodloopstraat en hy het ons kom red.”\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Willemse s\u00ea die kerk se dagbestuur het sy berekenings gemaak.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Daar is tot die slotsom gekom dat in-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dien die kerk van sy versekeraar eis, gaan ons premie ho\u00ebr wees, want ons het in die verlede ook al ge\u00ebis vir inbrake by die kerk en die kerk is gele\u00eb in ‘n ho\u00ebrisiko-gebied.”\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die kerk gaan nou die uitgawes probeer dek deur middel van geldinsame-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
lings, want in di\u00e9 stadium kan die Praise and Worship ook nie funksioneer nie.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Willemse s\u00ea enigeen wat donasies en of skenkings wil maak, kan die kerkkantoor by 023 342 2025 bel. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Volgens Willemse het booswigte die vorige week ook op die kerk toegeslaan en twee reguleerders, kabels en pype wat na die gasstowe aan die binnekant van die kerksaal lei, gesteel.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea in hierdie voorval is ‘n slot oopge-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dwing om toegang tot die artikels te kry. Volgens Willemse het dit die kerk sowat R5\u2009000 gekos om al di\u00e9 artikels te vervang.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
