\u2019n Jong polisieman van Ceres is Dinsdag skielik oorlede.<\/p>\n
Volgens Jonothan Engelbracht se suster, Melanie, het haar broer as gevolg van \u2019n massiewe hartaanval beswyk. Hy het sy 30ste verjaardag op 10 April gevier. <\/p>\n
\u201cHy was glad nie siek voor sy sterfte nie. Hy was so gelukkig. Die aand voordat hy oorlede is, het hy my huis toe geneem en ons twee het so lekker gesels en grappe gemaak. Hy was soos altyd baie motiverend,\u201d vertel Melanie.<\/p>\n
Engelbrecht het \u2019n paar jaar gelede by die Tulbagh-polisiekantoor begin werk.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy was baie lief vir sy werk. Hy het my nog verlede week vertel watter vreugde dit hom bring om die gemeenskap te dien en hoe die gemeenskap reageer op hoe hy sy werk doen. Hy het nie sommer by die huis gebly nie.\u201d <\/p>\n
Kol. Viala Groenewald, die stasiebevelvoerder van die Tulbagh-polisie, se hulle almal is nog baie hartseer.<\/p>\n
\u201cKonst. Engelbrecht het so drie jaar gelede n\u00e1 sy opleiding hier by ons aangekom. Dis vir ons almal nog so onwerklik. Voordat hy polisiekollege toe is, was hy in die reserwediens. Hy kan nie met net een woord beskryf word nie \u2013 hy was gedissiplineerd, netjies en \u2019n trotse, trotse polisiebeampte. Hy was gewild onder almal en in die kort tydjie van sy loopbaan het hy in soveel mense se harte gekruip. <\/p>\n
\u201cHy het \u2019n gesindheid gehad soos min. Hy was \u2019n Godskind en het sy God eerste gestel en nie \u2019n geheim daarvan gemaak nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cDaar was nooit \u2019n dull moment<\/i> met hom nie \u2013 hy was \u2019n regte terggees en kon jou siel sommer lekker uittrek. Dit is hoekom dit so hartverskeurend vir my as bevelvoerder is om so \u2019n jong polisielid en so \u2019n goeie lid aan die dood af te staan. Iets wat ons almal sal onthou \u2013 hy het \u2019n obsessie gehad met penne; ons weet nie hoekom nie. Ek het nie die kans gehad om hom te vra nie, maar hy het alewig \u2019n mooi pen gesoek. Hy het van kop tot tone uitgestaan. Een van die mooiste blomme op die stasie is gepluk \u2013 hy het die mooiste siel gehad. \u2019n Mens het geweet waar jy met hom staan. Alles wat hy gedoen het, het hy met soveel trots gedoen. Dit was \u2019n groot skok om van sy dood te hoor. Dis baie hartseer om iemand soos hy te verloor. Ek glo nie daar is iemand wat sy plek sal kan vul nie. Dis baie moeilik vir sy skof-kollegas ook. Ons het hom \u2018konstabel Engel\u2019 genoem, en ek glo daar waar hy nou is, is hy \u2019n engel wat oor ons sowel as sy gesin uitkyk en waak,\u201d het Groenewald ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n
Engelbrecht se suster het ook gepraat van haar broer se gesindheid en hoe hy sy lewe geleef het.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy was \u2019n mense-mens en hy was vol lewe. Hy het ook \u2019n vol lewe gehad. Soveel so, toe ek hom nie te lank terug nie gevra het hoe hy sou voel as die Here hom vroeg moes kom haal, het hy ges\u00ea hy is gereed,\u201d vertel sy met groot emosie.<\/p>\n
Verder vertel sy hoe lief hy vir sy familie en sy kinders was.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy was veral baie lief vir sy susters. Hy was net so lief vir sy kinders en sy verloofde.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
