Elderly woman killed in Greenhills attack

A 60-year-old woman was murdered and her 89-year old mother-in-law was severely assaulted in an apparent botched burglary in Greenhills on 2 May.
According to Randfontein SAPS spokesperson, Captain Appel Ernst, the family's long-standing domestic worker left for the local clinic at around 7am on 2 May and returned home at 11am, as she does on this date every month.
Upon her return, the electronic gate was opened for her as usual but as she entered the premises, she discovered the severely beaten 89-year old woman.
The woman had apparently managed to get to the remote control for the gate and opened it when the domestic worker rang the bell.
Despite having been severely beaten, the elderly woman was in a panic and only cared about her nearly two-year old great-granddaughter who was visiting at the time.
She urged the domestic worker to help her find the child.
"The domestic worker immediately started searching for the child and came upon the 60-year old woman in the main bedroom," says Ernst.
"The woman was also severely beaten, and had succumbed to head injuries probably inflicted with a blunt object."
Paramedics on the scene also indicated that she had some broken ribs.
Ernst says that the domestic worker eventually found the very traumatised but luckily unharmed child.

She had been gagged with a sock, but was otherwise unharmed.
"The domestic worker ran outside and alerted a gardener working across the street, who alerted the neighbours.
"The neighbours alerted the local security company and the police."
Ernst says that there was nothing at the scene that suggested that the robbers had planned to hold up the family.
"We suspect that, because it was so quiet at the house, they thought no-one was home and decided to burgle it, only to be surprised by the elderly women."
The injured woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment, while the child was treated on the scene and given into the care of her mother.

(Hannes) VOORHEEN ONGERAPPORTEERDE VOORVAL: ELDERLY WOMAN BRUTALLY ATTACKED
By Janine van der Riet 2013-05-03 12:17
A woman’s cries, screams and pleading still haunt the man who saved her from an attacker on the cliff path near Voëlklip. Mathilde le Roux (64) has been walking the cliff path at Langbaai, near her house in Kwaaiwater, for the past 24 years without any danger until early Sunday morning, 21 April.
She was on the cliff path at 07:30 when she heard footsteps behind her and turned around to look.
“He looked me straight in the eyes,” she says of the attacker. “I was about to continue walking, but he took a iron bar that he was holding and hit me directly in my face.” As she fell to the ground, he hit her in the face again and blood was streaming from her face. She screamed out in horror.
He had not said a word to her and was about to hit her a third time with the iron bar when 39-year old Karel Retief who had heard Le Roux’s screams came running around the corner. As he ran, he yelled at the attacker who immediately sped off.

(Hannes) KLOOF: Sharon Goss aangerand en gedreig - A Kloof businesswoman was threatened with rape and her son repeatedly assaulted by armed robbers who terrorised them for more than two hours at their Buckingham Road home.
The gang then feasted on food from the family’s fridge before making off with more than R100 000 worth of goods, including three firearms, in one of their luxury cars.
Sharon Goss, who runs a guest house, her son, Struan, and family friend, Cameron Stapleton, were asleep when three armed robbers gained entry into the house through a sliding window on Monday night. Stapleton said he heard noises coming from the window and got up to investigate.

Ek sien dit so!



Ek sien dit so!

Dinge verander ongelooflik vinnig. Om die waarheid te sê, hopeloos te vinnig na Neelsie se sin.
Slegs twintig jaar gelede nog het Suid-Afrika ‘n weermag gehad om op trots te wees. Daarby was ons geseënd met ‘n polisiemag uit die boonste rakke. Wat het van daardie manne en vroue geword? Hoe het hulle daarin geslaag om so maklik deel te raak van die alledaagse gros mense? Hier dink ek spesifiek aan die dapper manne wat diens gedoen het op ons grense.
Jong seuns is met die strengste dissipline denkbaar opgelei om te veg teen ‘n kommunistiese vyand, hulle is opgelei om te lewe en te sterwe, vir ons Suid-Afrika. Wat voel soos ‘n oogwink, het die jare verbygesnel en daardie mense deel geraak van die alledaagse sukkelbestaan wat die Ruwe Suid-Afrika ons elkeen bied. Die belangrikste vraag wat by my opkom is: Hoe kry hulle dit reg om aan te pas in ‘n land wat nou beheer word deur die einste terroriste teen wie hulle moes veg? Al is ek nie self een van die bevoorregtes om te kon dien in die ou SAW nie, maak die gedagte aan hierdie mense wat deur daardie stelsel gegaan het en steeds moet aanpas my baie hartseer.Miskien sal die dag nog aanbreek dat die ysters van die SAW weer opstaan en getel word. Dit is ‘n hoop wat ek uitspreek hoewel ek besef dat verraad genoeg is om enigiemand se veglus te blus. Net soos die haarkapper op die hoek, die kafee-eienaar in Brakpan, die brandweerman in Verwoerdburg en die polisieman in die tronk verraai is, is die soldate van ons eens trotse weermag verraai deur hul base. Ons is almal verraai en uitgelewer aan die barbaarse Suid-Afrika wat tans hoogty vier. Moet ook nie vir een oomblik dink ons vyande slaap nie, hulle is deeglik bewus van die ouderdomme van die manne wat laaste hul ordentlike opleiding ontvang het. Dit is net ‘n kwessie van tyd voor hulle hierdie gaping tussen ervare en onervare manne uitbyt. Om dit eenvoudig te stel, of jy dit wil hoor of nie, ons is in die moeilikheid. Nie net ek en jy nie, maar ook ons vroue en kinders.Wat sal dan die mees logiese stap wees onder die huidige omstandighede? Berei jouself en jou geliefdes voor op die ergste en as die ergste nie kom nie, is dit goed. Maar as die ergste wel tref waarborg ek jou dat dit beter is om voorbereid te wees. Weereens, wees wakker, moenie dink jy kan nie volgende op die volksmoordlysie verskyn nie. Ek kyk liewer heeltyd rond en lyk soos ‘n meerkat as wat ek my braaf hou en van agter oorval word. En jy?
Boeregroete,
