MONTAGU \u2013 Die feestyd het tragies ge\u00ebindig toe \u2019n gesin van vier dood is nadat \u2019n brand Vrydag 5 Januarie in hul woning ontstaan het.<\/p>\n
Die brand het omstreeks 22:00 in hul informele struktuur uitgebreek. <\/p>\n
Die polisie het om 22:15 op die brand gereageer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMet die polisie se aankoms op die toneel het hulle opgemerk die wendyhuis is amper heeltemal afgebrand. Een van die bure het hulle ingelig vier mense was in die wendyhuis wat aan die brand was. Nadat die brandweermanne die vuur geblus het, is die lyke van die vier mense gevind,\u201d s\u00ea AO Suria Meyer, Montagu-polisie se woordvoerder. <\/p>\n
Die oorledenes \u2013 Jolen Jansen (29) en Annamrie Berdien (31) en hul twee kinders \u2013 het in die informele struktuur in Jolen se pa se agterplaas in die woonbuurt Ashbury gewoon. Jolen se pa, Andr\u00e9 Jansen, moes aanskou hoe die vlamme die informele struktuur verswelg. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het by \u2019n buurman gekuier. Ons het buite gesit en gesels toe een van die ander mense s\u00ea ons moet om kyk, daar\u2019s \u2019n brand. Toe ek omkyk, toe sien ek die vlamme trek ho\u00ebr as die dubbelverdiepinghuis in my straat. Ons het toe omgehardloop, en toe ons om die draai kom, het ek besef dit brand in my agterplaas,\u201d vertel Andr\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Hy het hom na sy huis gehaas en probeer om die struktuur se deur oop te skop.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het drie keer teen die deur vasgehardloop, maar dit wou nie oopgaan nie. Die ander buurman wat ook op die perseel woon, het toe die deur met \u2019n groot steen oopgegooi. Hy het my vertel toe die deur oopgegaan het, het hy die jongste enetjie daar sien staan en net daarna toe stort die dak ineen, bo op die babatjie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy vertel verder hy was buite homself en het pad-af gehardloop.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk was soos \u2019n mal mens. Ek het in die pad af gehardloop en iemand het my gevra waar my seun is, en dis toe ek besef het dat hy ook in die wendy is. Ek het omgedraai en wou by die brandende struktuur inhardloop om die mense te red, maar ek kon nie. Die vlamme en rook het my gekeer. Al wat ek toe kon doen, was om te staan en aanskou hoe my seun en sy vrou en die kinders daar doodbrand.<\/p>\n
\u201cDis nie lekker om hieroor te praat nie.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy het ook aan Gazette<\/span> vertel dat die ander bewoner op die perseel ges\u00ea het hy het net voor die brand iemand gehoor hardloop.<\/p>\n \u201cHy het ges\u00ea hy het niks daarvan gedink nie en net gedink dis maar hulle wat soos normaalweg in die huis beweeg. Maar toe hoor hy hoe skree my seun \u2018wat de hel gaan nou aan?\u2019 en dis toe hy opstaan om te gaan kyk wat aangaan. Hy het ook ges\u00ea dat die skuifslot van die bungalow<\/i> se deur van buite af toegemaak was. Ek het dit alles met die polisie gedeel.<\/p>\n \u201cDie seerste van als is die kinders wat dood is,\u201d s\u00ea hy in \u2019n bewerige stem.<\/p>\n \u201cSoms is ek oukei, maar wanneer ek alleen sit, dan kom alles van daai aand weer by my op; hoe ek moes staan en kyk hoe hulle doodbrand. Ek sal nooit weer so \u2019n seun kry nie.\u201d <\/p>\n Jowen Berdien, die sesjarige oorledene, was \u2019n leerder by W. A. Rossouw Prim\u00eare Skool.<\/p>\n \u201cOns as skool wil ons innige meegevoel uitspreek met die familie van wyle Jowen Berdien wat Saterdagaand saam met sy huisgesin tragies in \u2019n brand omgekom het. Rus sag, Jowen en huisgesin. Aan die bedroefde bre\u00eb familie en vriende \u2013 mag God jul toevou in sy genade. Psalm 147:3: Hy genees die wat gebroke is van hart; en Hy verbind hulle wonde,\u201d s\u00ea die skool op sy Facebook-blad, by \u2019n foto van Jowen. <\/p>\n \n .<\/span> \u2019n Begrafnis vir al vier oorledenes vind Sondag om 10:00 plaas. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MONTAGU \u2013 Die feestyd het tragies ge\u00ebindig toe \u2019n gesin van vier dood is nadat \u2019n
