Pieter-Jan Groenenberg, \u2019n 15-jarige seun en leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Charlie Hofmeyr, is verlede Dinsdagoggend (19 April) n\u00e1 \u2019n ineenstorting en \u2019n moontlike hartaanval skielik oorlede.<\/p>\n

\n Netwerk24<\/span> berig dat di\u00e9 ho\u00ebrskoolseun, wat afkomstig is van Tulbagh, skoliose gehad het en in die Ceres-hospitaal oorlede is nadat \u2019n dokter voorgestel het dat hy opgeneem word vir observasie.<\/p>\n

Volgens Johan Groenenberg (61), Pieter-Jan se pa, het sy seun seergekry toe hy en \u2019n ander seun gespeel het.<\/p>\n

Die seun se ouers, sowel as medici, is nie seker hoe Pieter-Jan in die spelery seergekry het nie, maar vermoed dit was weens sy mediese toestand.<\/p>\n

Dit is ook weens hierdie siekte dat Pieter-Jan weggehou is van kontaksport.<\/p>\n

Sy pa het verduidelik dat sy seun eers op die Vrydag meer oor die voorval aan sy ouers vertel het omdat hy \u2019n spraakprobleem gehad het en gevolglik skaam was.<\/p>\n

Volgens sy pa het hy ges\u00ea dat hy en een ander seun voor \u2019n saalbyeenkoms gespeel het.<\/p>\n

Johan het verduidelik dat hulle nie geweet het of hy geval het, of per ongeluk gestamp is nie, maar later daardie dag (12 April) het hy sy seun by die skool gaan haal.<\/p>\n

Vir die res van die week het Pieter-Jan aangesterk by die huis waar hy gereeld gel\u00ea het, maar teen Saterdagaand (15 April) was hy kort van asem en het \u2019n geswelde maag gehad en sy ouers het hom na \u2019n dokter geneem.<\/p>\n

N\u00e1 die doktersafspraak is hy in die hospitaal opgeneem, waar X-strale gedoen is.<\/p>\n

Dit het gewys dat hy longontsteking in sy linkerlong het, maar niemand was bekommerd nie.<\/p>\n

Dinsdagoggend omstreeks 04:00 het die Groenenberg-gesin \u2019n oproep ontvang van die hospitaal wat hulle meegedeel het dat hul seun \u2019n ineenstorting en moontlik ook \u2019n hartaanval gehad het.<\/p>\n

Volgens Pieter-Jan se pa het sy seun \u2019n natuurlike aanvoeling vir diere gehad, en was hy \u2019n talentvolle leerder met \u2019n passie vir rekenaars.<\/p>\n

Bronagh Hammond, woordvoerder by die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement (WKOD), het aan Standard<\/span> bevestig dat Pieter-Jan flou geword het tydens verlede Woensdag se saalbyeenkoms, n\u00e1 die spelery.<\/p>\n

Volgens haar e-pos aan die koerant stem die WKOD nie saam met Johan Groenenberg se verduideliking nie.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaar is verskeie bewerings gemaak oor die leerder wat homself seergemaak het in \u2019n voorval voor die saal, of op \u2019n ander dag.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlbei bewerings is volgens die skool vals,\u201d s\u00ea Hammond.<\/p>\n

Die WKOD, saam met die Ho\u00ebrskool Charlie Hofmeyr, het Pieter-Jan se vriende en familie sterkte toegewens.<\/p>\n
