Gemeenskapslede in Touwsrivier se hulle gaan gebuk onder bendegeweld in die dorp.<\/p>\n
\u201cDinge gaan rof hier by ons. En dit blyk die polisie steur hulle nie veel aan wat tussen die bendes hier aangaan nie. Die polisie vat die gangster<\/i>s se kant,\u201d het een inwoner selfs aan Standard & Gazette<\/i> ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n
Volgens di\u00e9 inwoner gaan dit so sedert pres. Cyril Ramaphosa verlede jaar die kwytskelding van sekere gevangenes goedgekeur het.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie bendegeweld het begin kort nadat die bendelede uit die tronk gekom het. Nou baklei hulle gereeld oor en weer. Daar was wel in Februarie \u2019n week waar dit rustig was nadat die raadslid \u2019n versoek gerig het. Maar n\u00e1 daai week toe gaan dinge net verder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die inwoner meen ook die voortdurende bendegeweld tussen die 28\u2019s en JCY\u2019s is die rede hoekom \u2019n onskuldige man op 11 Mei doodgemaak is. \u201cHulle het \u2019n groot man voor sy huis doodgesteek.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u2019n Woordvoerder van die Touwsrivier-polisie het bevestig die man se moord was bendeverwant.<\/p>\n
\u201cBendes het by die man se huis opgedaag, want hulle was op soek na sy seun. Die seun was daai tyd nie by die huis nie maar die bendelede het oproerig geraak met die man. Hulle het hom forseer om vir hulle te se waar sy seun was. \u2019n Argument tussen die man en die bende het toe ontstaan, toe steek een hom dood,\u201d s\u00ea die woordvoerder. <\/p>\n
Die oorledene was die 56-jarige Charles Windum en hy was welbekend in die gemeenskap.<\/p>\n
\u201cCharles Windum (Jan Bos), is Saterdagaand voor sy huis met \u2019n skerp voorwerp doodgesteek. Charles se vrou, Sandra, werk al vir ons vandat ons aan die einde van 2008 in Touwsrivier gekom het. Charles het ons huis van buite en binne geverf, verskeie areas gete\u00ebl, en die eiland voor ons huis beplant en versorg. Ons familie het lief en leed met sy familie gedeel. Hy het ons baie laat lag, en soms kwaad gemaak met sy manewales. Ons het baie staaltjies oor hom te vertel. Charles, ons gaan jou mis. Sandra, vir jou en die kinders en kleinkinders: ons bid vir julle, vir leiding en krag, vir vertroosting en vir voorspoed in die toekoms,\u201d lui \u2019n Facebook-inskrywing. <\/p>\n
Volgens die woordvoerder is daar aanvanklik drie mense vir die moord op Windum in hegtenis geneem. Twee is egter later vrygelaat. <\/p>\n
Die Touwsrivier-polisiekantoor het kort n\u00e1 die Windum-moord \u2019n nuwe bevelvoerder gekry.<\/p>\n
Kapt. Nompumelelo Mavata s\u00ea sy is bewus dat die gemeenskap deur bendegeweld geteister word. \u201cOns is tans besig om aan \u2019n plan te werk om bendegeweld in die dorp uit te roei. Fynere detail oor hierdie plan kan ongelukkig nie in hierdie stadium bekend gemaak word nie. Ons strewe daarna om die bendegeweld in die dorp uit te roei,\u201d het Mavata by navraag aan Standard & Gazette<\/span> ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gemeenskapslede
