\u2019n Twaalfjarige provinsiale sportman moes die naweek deur snelweg-verkeer hardloop om hulp te soek toe sy pa langs die N1 beroof is. <\/p>\n
\u2019n Werknemer van \u2019n skool in die distrik en sy 12-jarige seun is Sondagmiddag op die N1 aangerand. Wat hierop gevolg het, klink soos iets uit \u2019n rolprent.<\/p>\n
Die man, wat op voorwaarde van anonimiteit met Standard<\/i> praat, s\u00ea hy en sy seun was te voet op pad om by die skool te gaan werk toe hulle twee verdagte mans agter hulle sien aankom.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns het die mans gesien, maar hulle het eers verby ons geloop, toe staan hulle en kyk \u2019n bietjie rond, maar ons het ons nie aan hulle gesteur nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Toe die seun gou wou stop om water af te slaan, het die twee mans weer verbygeloop terwyl die pa vir die kind gestaan en wag het. \u201cNet toe my seun klaarmaak en ons loop, draai die twee mans om en druk my vas, pluk my rond en druk my in die drade. Een het \u2019n vuurwapen uitgehaal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Met die vuurwapen teen sy bors het hulle die man gedwing om alles wat hy het, aan hulle te gee.<\/p>\n
\u201cHulle s\u00ea \u2018Give, give everything you have\u2019 <\/i>en ek dop toe my sakke om, en dis toe hulle my R40 en my selfoon vat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Weens skok het die man net daar inmekaargesak. \u201cMy seun het alles gesien en paniekbevange geraak. Hy het op die N1 tussen die karre deur na die naaste buurt gehardloop om hulp te kry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die seun het toe familie gaan haal om sy pa te help.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het \u2019n goeie vriend van my op die hoofpad gesien en hom voorgekeer. Terwyl hy uitgeklim het, het ek die polisiewa sien aankom en hulle ook voorgekeer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die man het sommer onmiddellik in die polisiewa gespring en saamgery om die twee booswigte te jaag.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns het hulle gehad, maar ek het die polisieman gewaarsku dat hy nie naby moet kom nie, want hulle het \u2019n vuurwapen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die polisie het twee waarskuwingskote gevuur, waarop een van die rowers platgeval en die ander oor \u2019n heining gespring en tussen die wingerde verdwyn het.<\/p>\n
\u201cToe die polisieman begin soek na die man wat platgeval het, het ek hom raakgesien.\u201d <\/p>\n
Terselfdertyd het die seun saam met mense van die buurt daar aangekom, waarop hulle die rower se sak deurgesoek en die R40 gekry het.<\/p>\n
Di\u00e9 verdagte is in hegtenis geneem. \u201cEk wil nie h\u00ea hy moet uitkom nie, want ek is bang,\u201d s\u00ea die slagoffer. \u201cEk is baie getraumatiseerd. Ek was nog nie weer by die skool nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy 12-jarige seun is wel terug skool toe en is tans saam met sy provinsiale sportspan op \u2019n oefenkamp. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk kan sien my seun probeer sterk wees vir my.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
