‘Bendeleier’ bekla sy lot
CHARNÉ KEMP
Barney, oftewel George Peters, vermeende bendeleier en een van 17 aangeklaagdes wat op meer as 100 aanklagte van onder meer rampokkery en moord tereg staan, het sy lot teenoor die regter bekla en gesê hy “kan nie meer die pyn vat, ek wil liewers doodgaan”, as om na die “opgemaakte stories” van getuies in die hof te sit en luister.
Peters (32) het skaars ’n dag of drie in die verhoor in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley en kort nadat die eerste getuie oor ’n voorval by die Roodepan-polisiekantoor getuig het, sy regsverteenwoordiger van Regshulp Suid-Afrika (SA) in die pad gesteek omdat hy nie “na my instruksies luister nie”.
Peters se mede-aangeklaagdes is: Britney Arends, Stephanie Mcanda, Simone Rose, Chinaaz Mentoor, Abigail van Wyk, Chane Adams, Micheal Peters, Clive Peters, Deon May, Parmeston Mentoor, Henry Blom, Thabo Sekapano, Vincent Rosen, Tshepo Malambi, Nico Hofuza en Shawn Smith. Van hulle is Peters se broers, houvroue (“sister-wives”) en
vermeende makkers. Drie van hulle is op borgtog vrygelaat.
Hulle word gesamentlik of afsonderlik verdink dat hulle by etlike bendeverwante voorvalle vanaf Augustus 2020 tot Februarie 2023 in Kimberley en Kuruman betrokke was. Hulle het glo geld uit dwelmhandel gemaak. Die vroue is glo as dwelmmuile gebruik.
Die saak is ’n vorige week verdaag sodat Peters ’n ander Regshulp SA-verteenwoordiger kan spreek om hom te verteenwoordig, maar hy het die aanbod geweier en op Woensdag 26 Maart gesê hy gaan homself verteenwoordig.
Regter Almé Stanton het hom afgeraai en gesê hy moet sy besluit ter wille van homself en geregtigheid heroorweeg.
Peters, wat tydens ’n verdaging aan joernaliste gesê het hy het meer as 30 kinders, het steeds geweier.
“Ek sit onskuldig in die tronk. My kinders ly. Hulle kan nie skool toe gaan nie, want ander kinders gooi lelike woorde na hulle toe, soos dat hulle pa ’n moordenaar is.
“Ek voel eerder om dood te gaan. Ek kan nie na die opgemaakte vals stories van getuies luister nie. Ek wil myself verskoon.”
Regter Stanton het verduidelik hy kan homself nie van sy verhoor verskoon nie.
“Hoekom moet ek na 115 getuies luister? Ek wil eerder by die huis by my familie wees. Hulle suffer, want ek is al lank in hegtenis.
“Ek is nie bekend met hofprosesse nie, ek is confused,” het hy ook erken.
“Dit is ’n groot saak, dit is moorde, mense wat doodgemaak is.”
Stanton het hierop geantwoord: “Juis, dis 117 aanklagte, daarom gaan dit uiters uitdagend vir jou wees om jou eie verdediging te lei.”
“Ek is ’n eenvoudige mens, wat in demokrasie glo. Maar ek wil nie na 115 getuies luister wat vals statements maak nie,” het Peters opgemerk.
Die regter het hom meegedeel dat die voorgestelde nuwe regshulpverteenwoordiger, wat Afrikaans magtig is, hom Donderdag sou spreek.
Op Vrydag 28 Maart het Peters besluit om van die voorgestelde regsverteenwoordiger gebruik te maak.
Die verhoor is tot 5 Oktober uitgestel.
Na verwagting kan dié saak tot vier jaar duur. Die dossier alleen beslaan 3 400 bladsye.

Afskakel van selfoon word ontken
CHARNÉ KEMP
In die verhoor in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley van die weermaglid wat steeds in diens van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW) is en wat saam met ’n vriend tereg staan op ’n aanklag van moord op ’n vriend van sy seun, ontken dat hy sy selfoon tydens die misdryf afgeskakel het.
Dié getuienis is Maandag 31 Maart aangehoor in die verhoor van Mzumanzi Zwakala, wat op borgtog vrygelaat is, en David Kangombe, wat in aanhouding is.
Albei word van die voorbedagte moord van Amogelang Assegaai in Verwoerdpark, Kimberley, aangekla, en Kangombe ook van regsverydeling. Die voorval het op 23 Oktober 2022 plaasgevind. Assegaai, toe ’n gr. 12-leerling aan die Kimberley Boys’ High School, is voor sy ouerhuis in Verwoerdpark doodgeskiet.
Hy is na bewering oor ’n geskil oor ’n verlore selfoon geskiet. Die koeël het sy long en aorta deurboor.
Lt. kol Hanlie Conradie, ’n selfoongebruik-analis by die polisie se misdaadintelligensie-eenheid, het Maandag getuig dat sy die betrokkenes, asook Zwakala se vrou en seun
se selfoongebruik vooraf, ten tyde en ná die voorval bestudeer het.
Zwakala se selfoon het die betrokke aand teen 18:06 op ’n selfoontoring in Rhodesdene geregistreer, toe in Kutlwanong, en later weer in Rhodesdene, waarna dit teen 20:12 afgeskakel is.
Toe dit weer om 22:12 aangeskakel is, het dit in Kutlwanong registreer. In kruisondervraging van adv. Sakkie Nel, namens Zwakala, het
Conradie ontken dat die foon aangeskakel kon wees, maar geen aktiwiteite getoon het nie. Vroeër die aand het Assegaai en Zwakala telefonies met mekaar kommunikeer voordat laasgenoemde se foon afgeskakel is. Zwakala en Kangombe het ook van 19:36 af met mekaar kommunikeer en toe weer ná 22:14, asook verskeie kere die dag daarna.
Oesverlieste word verwag
’n Kommandowurm-plaag is in drie distrikte van die Noord-Kaap bevestig.
Die Noord-Kaapse departement van landbou, omgewingsake, landelike ontwikkeling en grondhervorming het dié plaag op Vrydag 28 Maart bevestig na aanleiding van verslae van boere in die ZF Mgcawu-, Pixley Ka Semeen Francis Baard-distrik. Kommandowurms kan ernstige skade aan gras vir weiding aanrig, asook aan landbougewasse soos mielies, sorghum, koring, grondboontjies en sonneblomme. Omdat die wurms hoofsaaklik op blare voed, lei hul teenwoordigheid tot aansienlike oesverlieste.
In sy jong stadium is die kommandowurm grysgroen met wit-geel strepe wat langs sy rug af strek, terwyl die wurm in die laat stadium swart is met ’n blou lyn tussen die geel en swart lyne.
LUR Mase Manopole sê die departement sal saam
met landboubelanghebbendes werk om suksesvolle bekamping van hierdie plaag te verseker deur behoorlike chemikalieë te verskaf. Sy erken die beduidende invloed wat die uitbreking van die plaag op boerderye en voedselproduksie in die provinsie het.
Die LUR doen ’n beroep op alle boere en landbou-betrokkenes om die teenwoordigheid van kommandowurms by plaaslike landbouvoorligtingsbeamptes vir onmiddellike optrede
aan te meld.
Volgens aanlyn bronne is die kommandowurm ’n besonder skadelike plaag wat in staat is om gesaaides in ’n kwessie van weke uit te wis.
Die wurm, wat die larwe van ’n Lepidoptera-motsoort is, voed op alle soorte grasse en graansoorte.
Omdat die wurms in groot getalle vanuit grasveld na gesaaides “marsjeer”, word dit kommandowurms genoem.
Hulle neig om in die reënseisoen in baie hoë digthede voor te kom.
Die staat voer aan dat Zwakala se seun, Kamva Zwakala, op 21 Oktober 2022 by ’n partytjie by Assegaai se huis was. Gedurende die aand het ’n onderonsie ontstaan waarin Kamva glo beseer en sy selfoon vermis geraak het. Kamva het op 22 Oktober ’n klagte by die polisie oor sy verlore selfoon ingedien. Daardie Sondag, op 23 Oktober, het die seun, die twee beskuldigdes en nog mense in Zwakala se groen Cressida-voertuig na die Assegaai-huis gegaan. Kangombe het die voertuig glo elke keer bestuur. Toe hulle in die betrokke straat kom, was Zwakala glo woedend. Hy het aan die bure gebulder “die hele Kimberley ken hom, hy sal die stad klein maak en diegene seermaak wat sy seun te na kom. Hy is in die weermag en weet hoe om vuurwapens te gebruik.”
Zwakala het met Assegaai gepraat, waarna laasgenoemde gesê het hy sal hom bel sodra hy die vermiste selfoon opspoor.
Zwakala en Kangombe is daar weg, maar het later die aand saam met Kamva teruggekeer nadat Assegaai hulle gebel het. Op die sypaadjie voor die huis het Assegaai die selfoon oorhandig. Kamva het daarmee in die voertuig geklim en gemerk dat die foon beskadig en die sim- en ge-
heuekaart weg is.
Dit is toe dat die skoot glo afgegaan en die gewonde Assegaai na sy ma geroep het.
Die staat voer aan Zwakala het in die voertuig gespring terwyl Kangombe die ligte afgeskakel en weggejaag waarna hy die voertuig in Zwakala se motorhuis parkeer het.
Op 31 Oktober het Kangombe na bewering in ’n eedsverklaring gejok dat hy nie tydens die voorval teenwoordig was nie.
Kol. Barney Mothlabakwe, Zwakala se bevelvoerder, het getuig dat Zwakala in die gebruik en beveiliging van vuurwapens soos R5-gewere en 9mm-pistole, handgranate, en wapentuig soos die afvuur van missiele opgelei is. Zwakala ontken laasgenoemde opleiding.
’n Ander getuie, lt. kol Nomahlubi Mbelebele, wat op 23 Oktober die stasiebevelvoerder by die Kagisho-polisiekantoor was, het in kruisondervraging ontken dat die aanklagkantoor se hekkie of voordeur ooit gesluit was of dat niemand aan diens was nie, wat sou verhoed dat iemand soos Zwakala klagtes kon indien.
Advv. Sue-Ann Weyers-Gericke en Catherine Jansen kla aan. Waarnemende regter Andries van Tonder lei die verhoor.
Arrests land fraud suspects in court
HELENA BARNARD
After a series of “marathon arrests” in the Northern Cape, several suspects appeared in court on charges of fraud, money laundering, and withholding third party payments.
A team of the Kimberley Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit arrested Randile Jacobs Shuping (38) on 27 March, in Victoria West.
Shuping is accused of withholding third party payments while serving as a chief financial officer (CFO) at the Thembelihle Local Municipality, says Lt. Col Tebogo Thebe, spokesperson for the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks).
The contravention apparently took place from February 2021 to July 2023, with one of the affected third parties the Consolidated Retirement Pension Fund (CFR).
This contravention left the Thembelihle Local Municipality with a debt of over R6 million in pension fund contributions for employees, thereby contravening Section 13A of the Pension
Fund Act, with 1 800 counts of said contravention.
Shuping appeared in the Hopetown Magistrates’ Court. He was released on R5 000 bail. His next court appearance will be on 25 April.
‘Pocketing cash payment’
On the same day, the team arrested two cashiers of the Phokwane Local Municipality in Hartswater for fraud, alternative theft, and money laundering.
Thato Morake (34) and Ayanda Ndwanya (35) are accused of defrauding the municipality from January 2022 to August 2023.
Thebe says auditing undertaken by the municipality revealed the duo captured municipal payments as direct deposits in the internal financial ledgers while it did not reflect in the bank statements.
It appears that the suspects were pocketing cash payments for personal use and reflecting it as directs deposits.
The municipality suffered a total loss of over R3 million.
Promises ‘never honoured’ In another unrelated case, also in Hartswater, Ruan Maritz (30) was arrested for fraud and money laundering. He was arrested on 25 March by members of the Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit.
Allegations are that the accused misrepresented to the complainants and other victims that he is a broker for Quick Trade Investment and Forex Trading. The investment contract stipulated that when clients invest 50%, the broker would add the same percentage, a promise the suspect apparently never honoured. The victims suffered a loss amounting to R2 million.
Maritz made a brief appearance before the Hartswater Magistrates’ Court on 26 March, and was granted bail of R50 000. The matter is postponed to 12 May. The provincial head of the Hawks, Maj. Gen. Stephen Mabuela, expressed his appreciation to the investigation teams.

Physicality holds the key
HELENA BARNARD
To play, move, and learn – and to see a smile on the face of someone accomplishing something never done before.
This describes the main objectives of a community engagement project hosted for its third time at the Sol Plaatje University (SPU) in Kimberley. As before, the SPU Inter-faculty Community Engagement Project coincides with the university’s annual Community Big Walk on 15 March on the campus.
As before, Rambo the horse and his pony friends were the main attraction. Even Gemmie, the Gemsbok mascot of the SPU, showed up to enjoy a ride on horse-back.
Apart from children and adults enjoying an assisted pony or horse ride for free, a reading nook, stations to take part in indigenous games and to play a round of board games with friends were erected by lecturers of several faculties, with the help of students.
“We do it for a smile on a face, to assist people who want to achieve something they never done before,” said Dr Eleanor Addinall of the Faculty of Humanities.
Sulette Bruwer of the Faculty of Education says the project could not have been possible without the assistance of other lecturers and staff members of the university. They are also pleased with the response from students when asked for approximately 20 volunteers to assist at the different stations.
Research shows a definite relationship between the physical and cognitive development of a child throughout all stages, Addinall wrote in a project
skills. Big motoric skills include body awareness, balance, laterality, mid-line crossing, muscle tone, spatial orientation, rhythm and coordination, as well as direction. Fine motoric skills include reach, point, place, grasp, release, push, pull, shake, squeeze, tap and twist.
In this annual project, the physical and cognitive aspects of a child’s development are connected through games, horse riding, playing, reading, and more.
Bruwer says horse-riding is not only fun and therapeutic, but contributes to physical development. When offering these free rides, some people get on horse-back for the first time ever.

Rides are overseen by Bruwer, who has horsemanship skills and has used these animals for riding lessons for children before. She is supported by WO Abraham Basie of the police’s Mounted unit, and Addinall, who both have experience in equine assisted therapy.

Swerwend tussen blomme met ragfyn vlerke
“Verskeie skoenlappers besoek tans ons tuine, en ek kon wit en geel Afrikaanse swerwers (“African Migrant”) afneem waar hulle nektar in die kanferfoeliebos gesoek het. Selfs die heuningbye is nog redelik bedrywig,” laat weet Leon Venter van Kimberley. Die Afrikaanse swerwer behoort tot die familie van Witjie-skoenlappers. Hulle kom in groot dele in Afrika suid van die Sahara voor, insluitend al nege provinsies van Suid-Afrika. Dié skoenlappers is tuis in die meeste habitatte, hoewel hulle digte bos, woestyngebiede en ysige bergsones vermy, aldus Wikipedia. Die broeibevolkings kom in droë en vogtige savannesones voor. Gedurende middel- tot laatsomer migreer die skoenlappers in Suider-Afrika in ’n noordoostelike rigting. Het jy ’n foto van 1MB of meer van ’n interessante onderwerp?

Wat sou ’n mens sien as jy kon raaksien?
Die eerste maand van herfs is soos ’n ruimtetuig in die hemelruim verby: Ongesiens, tog daar.
Dat menige aardling nie tred hou met tyd se vlietende aard nie, is sigbaar in verouderde “tekens van die tye” wat ’n mens daagliks raaksien.
Die tekens hier ter sprake is die swart ysterstellasies, sonder ’n bottel handreiniger, wat steeds in soveel winkelingange en in ondernemings se ontvangslokaal staan.
Sommige het nog ’n bottel in, en hoewel ’n mens jare ná die Covid19-pandemie steeds mik om hande te ontsmet, is die bottels meestal vuil en die toestand van die inhoud onder verdenking.
Ook is daar plakkers aan ruite te sien wat aandui maskers is verpligtend. In hoeveel ondernemings is die plakkers wat die eenmeter-afstand aandui, nie steeds op die vloer geplak nie? Dat winkeleienaars en ander betrokkenes dit nie raaksien nie, kan weens tyd se aard wees, en ’n besige program. Winkelblindheid is eerder ter sprake: John Burkhauser, ’n spesialis in die motornywerheid en skrywer, sê ’n mens raak blind vir

Só
dit wat jy elke dag sien. Jou oë is oop, steeds sien jy nie. Eerste indrukke tel, skryf hy. Uit sy meer as 30 jaar se ervaring in sakeredding kan hy met sy aankoms by ’n onderneming dadelik weet hoe goed of sleg die situasie is. Dit slegs op waarneming van die parkeerterrein en die gebou-aansig. Onder hierdie miskyk van die visuele wat powere bestuur kan uitwys, kan talle aspekte tel: Verwaarloosde ingangroetes, vergete openbare ruimtes, ongeliefde geboue, vuil en stukkende sypaadjies, lekkende waterpype, oopgevlekte kragbokse, en meer. Burkhauser stel voor dat ’n buitestander met ’n notaboek en pen alles van jou onderneming waarneem: Vanaf die indraai na die parkeerruimte, tot by die openbare toilette en die betaalpunt. Hoeveel notaboeke sou nodig wees as die burgemeester van die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit dié versoek rig? En wat sou die duisende besoekers wat eersdaags die hoofstad van die Noord-Kaap vir die Wilde Klawer-sporttoernooi gaan instroom, in hul boekies skryf?
gesindheid hou ’’n dure les vir ieder
HANNES NOËTH
Ons sit as ’n groep volwassenes om ’n tafel, elkeen met ’n heerlike beker koffie, en die tema raak baie vinnig baie dieper as wat enigeen van ons gedink of beplan het.
Hierdie diep gesprek het ek nie sien kom nie.
Van ’n ligte geskerts na ’n baie diepe, teer, onderwerp. Hoogmoed teenoor nederigheid.
Die inhoud van die gesprek vind ek so ’n bietjie ontstellend. Ek kom agter dat mense gou verward raak oor die balans tussen waarheid en leuen, tussen liefde en liefdeloos. ’n Mens kan amper sê jy moet baie mooi definieer en analiseer voordat jy jou in hierdie
Potpourri
soort gesprek inlaat.
Wat wel nie moeilik is om agter te kom nie, is hoe nederigheid mense aantrek en hoogmoed mense afstoot.
Ek besef net weer die waarde daarvan dat ’n mens versigtig sal wees om mense aan te spreek met ’n ek-weet-alles-houding; of ek-is-reg-en julle-verkeerd; of gee-my-net-’n-kans-en-ekvee-met-jou-die-vloer.
Mense is nogal nie sensitief om van mekaar te verskil nie, maar oor die algemeen is daar min empatie vir en min geduld met mense wat dink hulle weet beter.
Hoogmoed is gewoon iets wat mense irriteer en laat reageer.
Verkeerd bly verkeerd
KARIN MULLER
In die wêreld waarin ons leef, raak die lyn tussen reg en verkeerd troebel. Ons mense vertel ’n halwe leuen of ’n halwe waarheid.
Nie van onlangs af nie. Verkeerd kry ’n suikerlagie om en word vermom as ’n redelike weergawe van die waarheid. Verkeerd word voorgehou as nie verkeerd nie.
Interessant in hierdie spesifieke gesprek is hoe nederigheid mense juis aantrek. Die voorbeelde wat na vore kom, raak my hart.
Ek besef maar weer dat ’n mens versigtig moet wees om nie aanstoot te gee nie. Dit is nie altyd maklik nie, maar ’n mens moet maar so ’n bietjie daarin groei. In kort bly die vraag seker altyd: Wat het jy wat ander nie ontvang het nie, en wie is jy om jou oor ’n ander aan te stel.
Natuurlik moet ons mekaar vermaan, reghelp, begelei – die vraag bly of jy dit op so ’n wyse doen dat jy jou eie gesindheid van nederigheid daarmee openbaar. Vir party mense is dit sleg om te hoor: Jy is regtig nie beter as ’n ander nie.

In matriek het ek my vir die Afrikaanse vraestel voorberei, maar kort voor die afkortings het ek my handboek toegemaak en gebêre. Ons het die volgende dag een vraag oor ’n afkorting gekry. SALU. My brein was skielik leeg.

My pa was ’n kwaai mens. Hy was die ouer wat op skool my vraestelle geteken het. Dit was nie ’n geval van loer na die punt en teken nie. Hy het sorgvuldig deur die vraestel geblaai en elke vraag en antwoord bestudeer. Ek het baie vroeg in my skoolloopbaan geleer dat ek elke vraag moes beantwoord.
Daar was min dinge wat hom so ontstel het soos wanneer ek ’n vraag nie beantwoord het nie.
“Jy moet altyd probeer,” het hy kwaai gesê.
“Selfs al is jy van iets in die lewe nie seker nie, probeer net. Geen mens behaal sukses sonder om te
Ek het glad nie geweet wat om te skryf nie. Ek durf dit egter nie ooplaat nie. Ek het iets neergeskribbel en my vraestel ingehandig. Toe ek my vraestel terugkry, was daar ’n merkie by daardie antwoord – asof dit ’n halfpunt wou word, maar nie het nie.
Die onderwyseres het gesê: “Daar is iemand wat ’n vreemde merkie langs die vraag met die afkorting gekry het.”
Ek het na my antwoord en die vreemde merkie gekyk. Suid-Afrikaanse Luguitvoere, het ek geskryf. Sy het geglimlag.
“Ek wou vir jou ’n halfpunt vir oorspronklikheid gee, maar nadat ek daaroor nagedink het, het ek besef – verkeerd bly verkeerd.”
Langnaweke vra mos vir ’n uitstappie, en eindelik is die dag hier: Die Rooygesin plus vriende gaan Jozi-dieretuin toe. Vyf kinders, vier grootmense, drie pakkies pleisters en ’n paar klamlappies – vir ingeval. Om die verrassing te hou, is die enigste antwoord op vrae: “Dis ’n geheim.”
Gelukkig speel die weer en verkeer saam, al is die ingangsry langer as ’n seekoei se middagslapie. Eerste stop: Fotokraampie. Gelukkig dra Rooypa nie ’n lemmetjiegroen hemp nie – anders sou hy soos ’n kamoeflerende verkleurmannetjie verdwyn het. Toe die foto’s ontwikkel, sien hulle: Op die sjabloon van die Johannesburg-dieretuin hou ’n gorilla Rooypa se been vas – amper soos ’n spookhand.
Die Besige Vyf skiet weg na die eerste hokke. Die diere? Min gepla. Sommige kyk vlugtig, ander knip skaars ’n oog. Behalwe die ape.
Die ouers lag: Die primate herken seker hul eie familie. Party hokke is leeg – hoe lank soek ’n mens na ’n dier voordat jy besef daar is net ’n boomstomp? Die gorilla-afdeling is so ’n geval, maar jy kan darem jou lengte teen ’n silhoeët van ’n reuse-aap meet. Die Amasone-gebou bied meer aksie: slange, paddas en spinnekoppe – alles veilig agter glas. En die vistonnel: ’n Oomblik is die kinders sprakeloos (iets wat skaars voorkom). Hulle staar grootoog en vat selfs ’n kans halfpad die tonnel in. Die ouers ook, maar uit verbasing oor die kinders se stomheid. Ná 10 000 treë, ’n R5-wedstryd oor wie eerste ’n wolf sien en dosyne strikvrae, is dit tyd vir die pretpark. ’n Laaste energie-uitbarsting. Vroegaand is die Rooymiere moeg, maar net voor slaaptyd vra hulle: “Wanneer gaan ons weer? Dan moet ons die museum ook besoek!” Die Rooyouers sug diep. Eers oor ’n paar jaar, hoop hulle stilweg agter ’n glimlag.
