Worcester het die afgelope week \u2019n paar noodlottige ongelukke ervaar \u2013 een daarvan was die afsterwe van die geliefde fietsryer Johan Nel (56), wat verlede Woensdag (16 Augustus) oorlede is.<\/p>\n
Volgens AO Vathiswa Jacobs, woordvoerder van die Worcester-polisie, het die voorval om 05:30 plaasgevind toe Nel en \u2019n mede-fietsryer, Elana Swart, op die Ceres-pad gery het.<\/p>\n
Jacobs het per e-pos verduidelik dat \u2019n vragmotor Nel van agter gestamp het terwyl hy en Swart in tandem gery het, met Swart voor en Nel agter haar.<\/p>\n
Volgens haar het die ambulans- en verkeersdienste voor die polisie daar opgedaag, en met die polisie se aankoms is Nel reeds deur paramedici dood verklaar.<\/p>\n
Jacobs het ook ges\u00ea dat die bestuurder van die vragmotor nie op die toneel stilgehou het nie, maar aangery het na die Worcester-polisiekantoor waar hy die ongeluk aangemeld het.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Saak van strafbare manslag word ondersoek.<\/p>\n
Nel het net minder as 33 jaar, sedert 1990 by die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit (KWDM) as \u2019n omgewingsgesondheids\u00adpraktisyn gewerk.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie KWDM betreur die verlies van \u2019n besonderse en lojale kollega.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns [die KWDM-munisipaliteit] hou sy familie en vriende in ons gedagtes en gebede gedurende hierdie moeilike tyd,\u201d het Anesca Roodt, woordvoerder van di\u00e9 munisipaliteit, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
\n Standard <\/span>het ook uitgereik na Danielle Mans (30), Nel se stiefdogter.<\/p>\n Mans het per WhatsApp verduidelik dat Nel, soos elke tweede oggend, om 03:00 op sy fiets geklim en gaan ry het.<\/p>\n \u201cHy en [Swart], wat saam met hom gery het, was net verby die bord van Naude Bakstene toe [sy] \u2019n slag hoor en hulle albei geval het, en toe [sy] opkyk n\u00e1 haar val was die vragmotor reeds aan die wegry. <\/p>\n \u201cSy het dadelik na [Nel] geroep, maar hy het geen reaksie getoon nie.\u201d<\/p>\n Die vermoede is dat die Darling-melkwa wat Nel se dood veroorsaak het op die skouer van die pad gery het.<\/p>\n \u201cAs jy weet jy het \u2019n persoon raakgery, hoe ry jy weg?\u201d het Mans gevra.<\/p>\n \u201cDie bestuurder het volgens sy verklaring onveilig gevoel en dis waarom hy nie gestop het nie,\u201d het Mans ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n Die familie vermoed dat die vragwa Nel se wiel getref het, en met die trefslag is Nel na agter geslinger voor hy sy kop teen die voertuig gestamp het. <\/p>\n \u201cOns wag nog vir die nadoodse ondersoek, maar die oorsaak van die sterfte is \u2019n kopbesering,\u201d het Mans verduidelik.<\/p>\n Volgens haar het haar geliefde stiefpa reeds \u2019n groot aantal jare in Worcester gewoon.<\/p>\n Sy het ook ges\u00ea dat fietsry vir die afgelope nege jaar \u201csy lewe was\u201d.<\/p>\n Nel het aan beide pad- en bergwedrenne deelgeneem.<\/p>\n \u201cHy het ons hele familie aangesteek met die fietsry. Sy twee skoonseuns het albei onlangs saam met hom begin fietsry.\u201d<\/p>\n Volgens Mans het sy gesin gereeld gespot en gevra of \u201chy nie maar met Oros [die naam van sy fiets] wou trou nie.\u201d<\/p>\n Oros is ook die fiets waarmee Nel vir \u2019n laaste keer gery het toe hy in die noodlottige ongeluk was.<\/p>\n Mans het tong in die kies vertel dat haar stiefpa baie lief vir kos was, asook roomys, al is dit twee grade Celsius buite.<\/p>\n \u201cHy was die gesin en familie se steunpilaar en altyd bereid om te help.\u201d<\/p>\n Volgens Mans het hy gereeld die raad \u201cdink voor jy reageer\u201d uitgedeel.<\/p>\n Hy was ook altyd die eerste een wat die familie gebel het wanneer daar \u2019n vraag was.<\/p>\n \u201cSy raad was vir [die familie] goud werd, en woorde kan nie die groot leemte wat nou oop is in ons elkeen se lewe uitdruk nie.\u201d<\/p>\n Chant\u00e9 Warnich, Nel se biologiese dogter, het haar pa as \u2019n \u201csagte\u201d mens beskryf.<\/p>\n \u201cHy het altyd voluit gelewe, altyd ander se belange eerste gestel en nooit aan homself gedink nie.<\/p>\n \u201cMy pa se doel op hierdie aarde is volbring, hy was ons anker en steunpilaar in alle opsigte, en ons was nooit alleen nie.\u201d<\/p>\n Volgens Warnich is Nel te vroeg van die familie \u201cwegge\u00advat,\u201d maar die lewenslesse wat hulle by hom geleer het, sal hulle altyd bybly. <\/p>\n Nel laat sy vrou, ma, broer, suster, drie kinders (een biologiese dogter, en twee stiefdogters), sy kleinkinders, en twee skoonseuns agter.<\/p>\n Nel is gister by \u2019n verassingsdiens by die NG kerk Worcester-Brandwag deur vriende en familie gegroet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Worcester het die afgelope week \u2019n paar noodlottige ongelukke ervaar \u2013 een
