ie Goodwood-polisie ondersoek onder

meer n moontlike selfdood n n man

MaandagnabydieGoodwood-treinsta-

sie waarskynlik onthoof is.

Volgens die polisie was die trein om-

streeks 04:00 onderweg uit die stasie toe die

treindrywer iemand op die spoor sien l.

Die trein was so 60 meter uit die stasie

en kon nie betyds stilhou nie. Ons kan nie

die moontlikheid van selfdood uitsluit nie,

aangesien daar geen poging was deur die

oorledene om van die spoor weg te beweeg

toe die trein aankom nie.

n Ander ding wat ons moet ondersoek is

of die oorledene nie reeds dood was toe hy

op die spoorlyn gel het nie, s ao. Wayne

Theunis, polisiewoordvoerder.

Sy s die oorledene se kop en bene is deur

die trein afgery. In di stadium is hy nog

nie gedentifiseer nie, maar dit lyk of dit n

buitelanderkanwees.As iemandmeer inlig-

ting het wat die polisie met die ondersoek

kan help, sal ons dit waardeer, s Theunis.

Zino Mihi, waarnemende kommunikasie-

bestuurder virMetrorail, het die voorval be-

vestig. Ons betreur die voorval,maar in di

stadiumblyk dit nie of die trein vir die oorle-

dene se dood verantwoordelik is nie. Dit wil

vir ons lyk of die liggaam op die spoor ge-

plaas is om nmoord te verdoesel. Dit gebeur

somsdat iemand elders vermoorword endie

lyk op die spore geplaas word om die polisie

om die bos te lei, s Mihi.

Mihi s hoewel dit blyk of die man reeds

dood was toe die trein oor hom gery het, sal

die drywer steeds berading ontvang.

Ons prosesse vereis dat die drywer bera-

ding ontvang, want iets soos dit kan nogal

n impak op n mens h.

Hy sal ook vir n tyd lank met verpligte

verlof gaan om dit wat gebeur het te ver-

werk. Intussen gaan ons die polisie help om

agter die kap van die byl te kom, s Mihi.

Sy het n beroep op pendelaars gedoen om

versigtig te wees wanneer hulle by n stasie

is. Hierdie is n ander soort geval, maar ons

wil dit tog gebruik om pendelaars te waar-

sku oor die gevare van n trein. n Trein is

nie soos n motor wat skielik kan stop nie,

somensemoetnie oor spore loopnie.Dit kan

dalk gouer wees om aan die ander kant uit

te kom,maardit kanookbetekendat jynooit

aan die ander kant uitkom nie, s sy.

T

he simple act of putting your munici-

pal bin out on the street the morning

instead of the evening before was clear

to be seen in Edgemead last week.

According to the chairperson of the

Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch (ENW),

Mark Richards, their patrollers noticed a

huge decline in the droves of bin scratch-

ers they used to see from late afternoon on

the day before the refuse collection days.

Collection days are on a Tuesday and a

Wednesday.

Last week just five street people were no-

ticedwandering around the neighbourhood

during the night, where other weeks this

number fluctuated between 40 and 50.

It makes a considerable difference to

those patrolling our streets when we dont

have people aimlessly roaming around,

says Richards.

Bin scratchers have been a thorn in the

sideofmanyneighbourhoods foryearsnow.

TygerBurger reported on what appears to

be a mass migration of vagrants from sub-

urb to suburb always in sync with refuse

collection trucks. Their numbers inevitably

started increasing the day before collection

because of people leaving their bins out

overnight.

The plight of bin scratchers invoke empa-

thy in all but a few.

Its a tough life, Richards explains.

This empathy, in a way, is part of the

problem. People with bleeding hearts try to

help the vagrants, which just invites more

into the suburb. Sometimes they are asked

to go to homeless shelters, but many prefer

not to because there

are too many rules.

Richards says

ENW patrollers of-

ten learn the names

of street people and

would ask themvery

politely at night to

leave the area.

We are never

rude and never vio-

lent, he emphasis-

es.

According to him

Law Enforcement

can only be involved

when someone is

breaking a bylaw, so

the unwritten rule is

that neighbourhood

watches urge va-

grants to move

along.

The plight of bin scratchers dawns on one

after talking to them. One of these people,

who is only willing to give his first name

as Trevor, says he scours bins every day

for old soft drink cans and newspapers.

He puts all these items in bags and deliver

it to scrap yards and recycling plants.

I get 60 cents a kilo for the cans and 50

cents a kilo for newspapers, he says.

With this money he would buy himself a

peanut butter sandwich for R3. Trevor says

for the rest of the day he eats whatever edi-

ble food he can find in the bins.

Richards says many of the bin scratchers

choose the life they lead, and Trevor agrees

that some do, but not him.

Some like it; not me. If I could choose I

would live in one of those houses, he says,

pointing towards modest looking flats on

the side of the road.

While he tries to make a living, others

are trying to make it harder for him.

He concludes: We are not all thieves.

This is the problem for Edgemead and

countless of other suburbs. Some vagrants

are thieves, and they often hide under the

banner of bin scratchers.

Says Richards: One day I arrived at the

scene of an attempted burglary. The perpe-

tratorswere trying to lift a gate to gain entry

to a property. The domestic worker told me

she recognised them. Apparently they were

hanging out with bin scratchers.We are not

saying they were bin scratchers, but that

these guys unwittingly provide the perfect

cover for them.

ENW will continue to spread pamphlets

into the suburb to remind people to only put

their bins out on collection days.

To all those who have heeded the watchs

continued efforts to reduce the number of

vagrants, Richards says: On behalf of the

ENW I would like to say a big thank you.

We are not the thieves

The majority of bin scratchers are simply trying to make a living, but they

provide the perfect cover for criminals. This leaves organisations such as

the Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch no option but to implore residents

not to leave their refuse bins out overnight. PHOTO: ANDR BAKKES

Bothasig police had a major breakthrough

when they swooped in on premises where

a dagga cultivation plant was being operat-

ed.

Local police received information that

suspicious behaviour had been noticed at a

residence in Richwood. The information

was followedupwith the result that ahydro-

ponics facility was discovered where dagga

was being cultivated.

The officers followedup onmore informa-

tion receivedandarresteda 45-year-oldman

at anaddress inBothasig,which is frequent-

ly raided by local police as a result of drug

activities.

Dagga plants estimated to have a value of

R152 000 were found on the premises and

seized as well as all the equipment used to

cultivate the plants.

A case of cultivation or dealing in dagga

has been opened and is under investigation.

The suspect will appear in court next

week.

V Anyone with more information can contact the

Crime Stop number 08600 10111.

Hydroponic dagga lab found; man arrested

Warrant Officer Dean Newman with some of the dagga plants found in Bothasig.

A never say die attitude led to the arrest

of two suspects weeks after a business rob-

bery.

On Tuesday 24 May one suspect was ar-

rested by Goodwood detectives after a con-

venience store in Hugo Street in Goodwood

was robbed at gunpoint on Friday 20 May.

On Thursday 9 June at 12:00 Warrant Of-

ficer Jacques Pieters and Constable Steven

Drury unsuccessfully followed up informa-

tion about the outstanding suspects in

Mitchells Plain.

Back inGoodwood themembers received

more information and rushed back to Carol

Crescent,MontrosePark, andwhile search-

inga secondhousePietersheard something

behind a door, where he found one suspect.

At a third address in Montrose Park the

members found the other suspect, dressed

in the same clothing he wore on the day of

the robbery.

The suspects, aged 30 and 33, appeared in

the Goodwood Magistrates Court.

after talking to them. One of these people,

who is only willing to give his first name

as Trevor, says he scours bins every day

for old soft drink cans and newspapers.

He puts all these items in bags and deliver

it to scrap yards and recycling plants.

I get 60 cents a kilo for the cans and 50

cents a kilo for newspapers, he says.

With this money he would buy himself a

peanut butter sandwich for R3. Trevor says

for the rest of the day he eats whatever edi-

ble food he can find in the bins.

Richards says many of the bin scratchers

choose the life they lead, and Trevor agrees

that some do, but not him.

Some like it; not me. If I could choose I

would live in one of those houses, he says,

pointing towards modest looking flats on

the side of the road.

While he tries to make a living, others

are trying to make it harder for him.

He concludes: We are not all thieves.

This is the problem for Edgemead and

countless of other suburbs. Some vagrants

are thieves, and they often hide under the

banner of bin scratchers.

Says Richards: One day I arrived at the

scene of an attempted burglary. The perpe-

tratorswere trying to lift a gate to gain entry

to a property. The domestic worker told me

she recognised them. Apparently they were

hanging out with bin scratchers.We are not

saying they were bin scratchers, but that

these guys unwittingly provide the perfect

cover for them.

ENW will continue to spread pamphlets

into the suburb to remind people to only put

their bins out on collection days.

To all those who have heeded the watchs

continued efforts to reduce the number of

vagrants, Richards says: On behalf of the

ENW I would like to say a big thank you.

We are not the thieves

The majority of bin scratchers are simply trying to make a living, but they

provide the perfect cover for criminals. This leaves organisations such as

the Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch no option but to implore residents

not to leave their refuse bins out overnight. PHOTO: ANDR BAKKES

Bothasig police had a major breakthrough

when they swooped in on premises where

a dagga cultivation plant was being operat-

ed.

Local police received information that

suspicious behaviour had been noticed at a

residence in Richwood. The information

was followedupwith the result that ahydro-

ponics facility was discovered where dagga

was being cultivated.

The officers followedup onmore informa-

tion receivedandarresteda 45-year-oldman

at anaddress inBothasig,which is frequent-

ly raided by local police as a result of drug

activities.

Dagga plants estimated to have a value of

R152 000 were found on the premises and

seized as well as all the equipment used to

cultivate the plants.

A case of cultivation or dealing in dagga

has been opened and is under investigation.

The suspect will appear in court next

week.

V Anyone with more information can contact the

Crime Stop number 08600 10111.

of two suspects weeks after a business rob-

bery.

On Tuesday 24 May one suspect was ar-

rested by Goodwood detectives after a con-

venience store in Hugo Street in Goodwood

was robbed at gunpoint on Friday 20 May.

On Thursday 9 June at 12:00 Warrant Of-

ficer Jacques Pieters and Constable Steven

Drury unsuccessfully followed up informa-

tion about the outstanding suspects in

Mitchells Plain.

Back inGoodwood themembers received

more information and rushed back to Carol

Crescent,MontrosePark, andwhile search-

inga secondhousePietersheard something

behind a door, where he found one suspect.

At a third address in Montrose Park the

members found the other suspect, dressed

in the same clothing he wore on the day of

the robbery.

The suspects, aged 30 and 33, appeared in

A

teacher at Fairbairn College in Good-

wood never intended to insult

learners when she commented on

their hair.

Angry parents of learners were up in

arms recently because a teacher at the

school called black children with braids

mop heads.

The parents complained that the school

was discriminating against black girls with

braids. One parent even went as far as call-

ing a slip that children with braids must

show before entering the school premises a

dompas.

Several e-mails to the school requesting

comment remained unanswered for two

weeks.

On Monday the Western Cape Education

Department (WCED) acknowledged they

were aware of the complaints and engaged

with the school regarding the issue.

According to Millicent Merton, spokes-

person for the WCED, a school governing

bodiesmay decide, in terms of the SouthAf-

rican SchoolsAct, on dress codes, including

hair styles, as part of their code of conduct.

The matter has been dealt with. The

school haddiscussionswith the parents and

it was made clear that the teacher in ques-

tion never intended to humiliate, offend or

insult any learner. Both parents accepted

the apology, says Merton.

The slip that learners have to carry is, ac-

cording to Merton, just to show that the

learners are familiar with and understand

the schools dress code.

Teacher never intended to insult

Die bejaarde inwoners van Huis Pikkie en

Huis Eliklala was aangenaam verras toe n

groep jongmense en volwassenes van die

VriendvanGod-gemeente enMetswalleOu-

treach hulle besoek het.

Elke inwoner het n handgemaakte mus-

sie van die gemeente se Vroue in Aksie-

groep ontvang. Elke mussie het n Bybel-

vers op.

Pikkie Jutzen het Huis Pikkie in 2000 be-

gin omdat sy nie alleen wou wees nie. Dit

was nadat albei haar kinders oud genoeg

was om die huis te verlaat. In 2013 het sy

Huis Elklala bygevoeg, wat tans 21 bejaar-

des huisves en deur haar dogter, Laverne

Matthee, bestuur word. Elklala is n same-

stelling van Pikkie se geboortenaam, Eliza-

beth, en haar seun en dogter se name.

Volgens die bestuurder van Huis Pikkie

in Panorama, Celeste Hanekom, huisves

hulle tans 15 bejaardes met demensie. De-

mensie, waarvan Alzheimer se siekte seker

die bekendste is, is n oorkoepelende term

om siektes wat die kognitiewe funksies van

die brein aantas, te beskryf.

wuste omgee-aksies vorm nbelangrikedeel

D

iewreld is een enorme soetpatat ryker

nadat die 8-jarigeAndrPieters vandie

Laerskool Parow-Wes n monster

van 11,59 kg gekweek het.

As n mens dit in lewende lywe bestudeer,

voel dit kompleet of die soetpatat jou terug

bestudeer!

Dit is ongelukkig nie die moeder van alle

soetpatatte nie, wat volgens Guinness 37 kg

weeg.

Andr se patat sal aan die anderkant ten

minste n tannie van alle soetpatatte wees

as nmens dit vergelykmet ander nuuswaar-

dige patatte. Verskeie koerante in Engeland

het juis in 2008 n groot ophef gemaak van n

Lebanese man wat n 11,3 kg-soetpatat ge-

kweek het.

Ek plant dit en my pa grawe dit uit, s

Andr trots.

Pietersplaas

Die reus is op die Pieters-plaas in Stanford

geplant, waar Andr sr. dit so ampers met n

voorgraaf uit die grond moes haal.

Volgens Andr jr. is die geheim om twee

keer n dag water oor die groente te gooi,

asook n bietjie strooi.

Die Pieters het ook goeie kompos gebruik

omdie grond voor te berei om geboorte te gee

aan di reuse-patat.

Daar is op daardie dag n paar grotes uitge-

haal, wat moontlik kan beteken dat de knol

miskien deel was van n gewas wat rekords

sou slaan.

Omdat die soetpatat egter verwyder was

van die res van die plant, is dit nou sinloos

om Guinness te kontak.

Daarwas juis geen terugvoering vanGuin-

ness af teen druktyd nie nadatTygerBurger

vir hulle n navraag per e-pos gestuur het.

Sal onthou word

Die storie van Andr se soetpatat sal niete-

min nog jare onthou word in die gesin.

My pa was besig om brandpaaie op die

plaas te maak toe hy die soetpatat uitgehaal

het. Hy het dadelik gebel en ges ons sal nie

glo wat hy nou hier uitgehaal het nie! Kyk

hierdiemassiewe ding!, het hy ges, lagAn-

dr.

Andr sr. het dadelik na n winkelsentrum

inGansbaai gegaan omdie soetpatat te weeg.

Sy seun voeg by dat dit van dag een sy

droomwas omhierdie soetpatat se foto in die

TygerBurger te plaas.

Noudat hy dit gedoen het, kan hy maar be-

gin eet daaraan. Miskien plaas TygerBurger

weer n berig oor n jaar om te s Andr het

dit uiteindelik opgeet.

Hy sluit af om te s dat hy nie een keer Red

Bull oor die yslike ding gegooi het nie.

A group of young Capetonians is encour-

aging South Africans to get involved

with local government through their

#SwingYourVote campaign.

The youth leaders, working under the

Educoafrica banner, hail from Langa,

Kraaifontein, Delft, Khayelitsha and

Hanover Park, and hope to inspire

young people to build relationships with

local government through accountabili-

ty and active citizenship.

In the past seven months a diverse

group of youth from different areas of

Cape Town has been undergoing a

course on public governance, explains

the groups Anele Wondo.

The programme is called Making Lo-

cal Government Work (MLGW) and

looks at betterways of engagingwith our

local government for the betterment of

service delivery and holding them ac-

countable for their actions.

Anele explains that their hashtag,

which they are hoping will be shared on

social media platforms, will not only

challenge citizens to vote but also be in-

volved in the process and structures of

democracy by claiming spaces they oc-

cupy and not just complain and burn

tyres and facilities.

The campaign also aims to engage

young people in conversation about

their concerns or the issues they might

face.

Anele invites young Capetonians to

photograph themselves with a #SwingY-

ourVote poster and upload it to their so-

cial media profiles or their SwingYour-

Vote Campaign Facebook page to help

them spread their message of civic

awareness and start a dialogue.

Omdat die soetpatat egter verwyder was

van die res van die plant, is dit nou sinloos

om Guinness te kontak.

Daarwas juis geen terugvoering vanGuin-

ness af teen druktyd nie nadatTygerBurger

vir hulle n navraag per e-pos gestuur het.

Sal onthou word

Die storie van Andr se soetpatat sal niete-

min nog jare onthou word in die gesin.

My pa was besig om brandpaaie op die

plaas te maak toe hy die soetpatat uitgehaal

het. Hy het dadelik gebel en ges ons sal nie

glo wat hy nou hier uitgehaal het nie! Kyk

hierdiemassiewe ding!, het hy ges, lagAn-

dr.

Andr sr. het dadelik na n winkelsentrum

inGansbaai gegaan omdie soetpatat te weeg.

Sy seun voeg by dat dit van dag een sy

droomwas omhierdie soetpatat se foto in die

TygerBurger te plaas.

Noudat hy dit gedoen het, kan hy maar be-

gin eet daaraan. Miskien plaas TygerBurger

weer n berig oor n jaar om te s Andr het

dit uiteindelik opgeet.

Hy sluit af om te s dat hy nie een keer Red

Bull oor die yslike ding gegooi het nie.

A group of young Capetonians is encour-

aging South Africans to get involved

with local government through their

#SwingYourVote campaign.

The youth leaders, working under the

Educoafrica banner, hail from Langa,

Kraaifontein, Delft, Khayelitsha and

Hanover Park, and hope to inspire

young people to build relationships with

local government through accountabili-

ty and active citizenship.

In the past seven months a diverse

group of youth from different areas of

Cape Town has been undergoing a

course on public governance, explains

the groups Anele Wondo.

The programme is called Making Lo-

cal Government Work (MLGW) and

looks at betterways of engagingwith our

local government for the betterment of

service delivery and holding them ac-

countable for their actions.

Anele explains that their hashtag,

which they are hoping will be shared on

social media platforms, will not only

challenge citizens to vote but also be in-

volved in the process and structures of

democracy by claiming spaces they oc-

cupy and not just complain and burn

tyres and facilities.

The campaign also aims to engage

young people in conversation about

their concerns or the issues they might

face.

Anele invites young Capetonians to

photograph themselves with a #SwingY-

ourVote poster and upload it to their so-

cial media profiles or their SwingYour-

Vote Campaign Facebook page to help

them spread their message of civic

awareness and start a dialogue.

Alcohol, tik themost

eing a drug addict has been lik-

ened to wearing a mask.

At first you find the seeming-

ly self-confident person looking back

at you in the mirror intriguing, but

before too long you cannot even re-

call the real you.

You become themask, andwithout

it you feel incomplete. Every now

and again a drug addict will experi-

ence a moment of clarity and yearn

to be free. But this is the exception

rather than the rule.

According to Ramots manager,

Lettie Visser, the vastmajority of pa-

tients who walk through their doors

are there because of someone else.

More often than not a loved one

or an employer demands that the pa-

tient comes for treatment. It is rare

that patients realise themselves that

their addiction actually hurts those

closest to them the most.

With Drug Awareness Week from

24 to 28 June just around the corner,

TygerBurger spoke to one of the re-

habilitation centres operating in the

northern suburbs.

Ramot Treatment Centre for Sub-

stance Dependence in Parow was es-

tablished in 1964 by the Dutch Re-

formed Church and has since guided

thousands of addicts from all over

South Africa to a full recovery.

By far the twomost commonaddic-

tions they treat are alcohol and tik

dependence.

Every week on a Tuesday and

Thursday people from all walks of

life are admitted and subjected to an

intense and professionally managed

rehabilitation programme, consist-

ing of one week of detox and four

weeks of structured in-patient pro-

grammes. Some try to escape, some

try to coerce a friend into smuggling

drugs onto the premises and others

try to fill the void with overeating.

Ultimately, all of the patients will

be completely drug-free by the time

they are discharged.

At Ramot, once patients are out of

detox, they dont just lie in bed. We

have many programmes designed to

assist them in their recovery. We

provide structure, a good diet, a crea-

tive workshop and a gym, to name

but a few benefits, says Visser.

She continues: We are rather

unique in the fact that we dont have

former addicts on the payroll, but

rather professional, qualified and

registered staff. We do, however,

makeuse of ex-addict volunteers. Be-

sides ourmedical staff we rely on the

therapeutic services of a psycholo-

gist, a biokineticist, social workers,

a teacher anda spiritual counsellor.

The enormous drug problem fac-

ing theWesternCape receives plenty

of coverage, but according to Visser

some of the drug addictions are un-

derplayed.

We see the ugly side of dagga ad-

diction. It blocks the normal cogni-

tive and emotional development of

adolescents. We have had patients

here in their thirties with themental

and emotional capacity of teenagers.

Their sense of responsibility is so far

removed from reality that it seems

almost a lost cause. Some may even

become psychotic with regular use,

she elaborates.

As with all organisations of Ram-

ots ilk, sufficient funds will always

be an issue.

The money we receive from the

government, medical aids and pri-

vate funding is never enough. We

have been trying to buy new mat-

tresses for years now. So donations

from the public are invaluable and

serves an incredibly great cause.

nMan vanGoodwood het tot

by die polisiekantoor gehard-

loop en saam met beamptes

op n wilde jaagtog gegaan in

n poging om te keer dat die-

we met sy motor wegkom.

Adrian Vermeulen het ver-

ledeweek rustig gel en slaap

toe hy n geluid buite hoor.

Ek is n ligte slaper. So

wanneer ek n geluid hoor,

word ek wakker en kyk by

die venster uit. Toe ek die ge-

luid hoor het, het ek dadelik

gereageer en tot my verba-

sing was my motor nie waar

ek dit gelos het nie, s hy.

Hy het oor die balkon ge-

sien sy motor staan in die

straatmet tweemansdaarby.

Ek het my sleutels gegryp

en oor die balkon gespring

toe ek sien hulle probeer n

sleeptou aan my motor sit.

Net toe ek by die motor

kom, het hulle teen n ho

spoed weggejaag. Ek het net

gedink vandag gaan julle nie

met my motor wegkom nie,

vertel Vermeulen, wat on-

langs n nuwe enjin teen

R25 000 laat insit het.

Met net sy slaapklere aan,

het Vermeulen na die polisie-

kantoor gehardloopwatnaby

sy blyplek is. Toe ek by die

polisiekantoor kom, was

daar twee beamptes wat bui-

te gestaan het. Ek het aan

hulle gesmymotor is pas ge-

steel enas onsdadelik ry, kan

ons dalk nog die diewe vang.

Hulle het dadelik gerea-

geer en ek het sommer saam

in die bakkie gespring. My

instink het vir my ges die

diewe gaan in die rigting van

Delft ry en ons het in daardie

rigting gejaag. Ek het ook ge-

weet hulle gaan in die agter-

strate langs ry.

By Robert Sobukwe-weg

het Vermeulen en die polisie

die diewe gewaar. Die polisie

het versterkings ingeroep en

naby die lughawe is die die-

we aangekeer.

Dis nie die eerste keer dat

Vermeulen die slagoffer van

motordiewe is nie. So n

paar jaar gelede het hulle my

motorfiets gesteel. Ekhet self

ondersoekwerk gedoen en

binne n week my motorfiets

teruggekry. Dit was egter nie

sulke goeie nuus met my

Volkswagen Fox nie. Di is

steeds spoorloos, s Ver-

meulen,wat tanswerkloos is.

Volgens lt. Wayne Theu-

nis, polisiewoordvoerder,

wasdit ao. JacquesPieters en

konst. Steven Drury wat met

Vermeulen gejaag het. Een

van die verdagtes is in die ge-

steelde rooi Golf gevind, ter-

wyl twee ander in n swart

Golf gevang is, s Theunis.

Hy s in sy tyd is dit die eer-

ste keer dat diewe n voertuig

wegsleep. Gewoonlik breek

hulle in en kry die motor aan

die gang voor hulle wegjaag.

As dit die begin van n nuwe

tendens was, hoop ons die in-

hegtenisneming bring dit tot

n einde, s Theunis.

Die verdagtes het reeds in

die Goodwood-hof verskyn.

kantoor gehardloopwatnaby

sy blyplek is. Toe ek by die

polisiekantoor kom, was

daar twee beamptes wat bui-

te gestaan het. Ek het aan

hulle gesmymotor is pas ge-

steel enas onsdadelik ry, kan

ons dalk nog die diewe vang.

Hulle het dadelik gerea-

geer en ek het sommer saam

in die bakkie gespring. My

instink het vir my ges die

diewe gaan in die rigting van

Delft ry en ons het in daardie

rigting gejaag. Ek het ook ge-

weet hulle gaan in die agter-

strate langs ry.

By Robert Sobukwe-weg

het Vermeulen en die polisie

die diewe gewaar. Die polisie

het versterkings ingeroep en

naby die lughawe is die die-

we aangekeer.

Dis nie die eerste keer dat

Vermeulen die slagoffer van

motordiewe is nie. So n

paar jaar gelede het hulle my

motorfiets gesteel. Ekhet self

ondersoekwerk gedoen en

binne n week my motorfiets

teruggekry. Dit was egter nie

sulke goeie nuus met my

Volkswagen Fox nie. Di is

steeds spoorloos, s Ver-

meulen,wat tanswerkloos is.

Volgens lt. Wayne Theu-

nis, polisiewoordvoerder,

wasdit ao. JacquesPieters en

konst. Steven Drury wat met

Vermeulen gejaag het. Een

van die verdagtes is in die ge-

steelde rooi Golf gevind, ter-

wyl twee ander in n swart

Golf gevang is, s Theunis.

Hy s in sy tyd is dit die eer-

ste keer dat diewe n voertuig

wegsleep. Gewoonlik breek

hulle in en kry die motor aan

die gang voor hulle wegjaag.

As dit die begin van n nuwe

tendens was, hoop ons die in-

hegtenisneming bring dit tot

n einde, s Theunis.

Die verdagtes het reeds in

die Goodwood-hof verskyn.
