Strangled to death and robbedStefan de Villiers and Tereasa Dias
The quiet suburban Vlier Street where a man was murdered and his family robbed.
The house in Vlier Street where a man was robbed and strangled to death by unknown suspects.
A man in his 50s was found murdered in the quiet suburban Vlier Street in the early hours of Tuesday.
His three daughters and wife were severely traumatised after i nding their father strangled to death in their dining room. A close friend to the family told White River Post that the father (55), who was an avid soccer fan, had stayed up late on Monday night to watch the Afcon Cup.
At the time of going to press, he had not ofi cially been identii ed and some family members had not been notii ed of his death.
“He had not yet locked the gate and that is how the suspect gained entry,” he said. His wife and children had already gone to sleep before the attack occurred.
The family friend added that the number of assailants who entered the house is unknown at this stage. According to the spokesman for White River Police, Sgt Cynthia Mbokodo, the victim’s wife recalled how she was woken up by “a big male” wearing a balaclava. “He demanded
the keys to the safe. She explained to him that they didn’t have a safe, after which he demanded the keys to their car,” Mbokodo said. The victim’s wife was tied up on the bed, and then the suspect proceeded to ransack the house. According to Mbokodo, the suspect fl ed in their blue Hyundai. “The family’s television and cellphones were also stolen,” she said.
Unaware that her husband had already been killed, she started shouting for help. One of her daughters woke up and notii ed a neighbour, who then pressed a panic button for J&M Security and the police. “They both arrived here quickly but they were gone already,” the eldest daughter told White River Post.
Only after the mother was freed, she
discovered her husband with a rope around his neck and a
black plastic refuse bag over his head. The daughters and
mother were still in shock when White River Post paid them a visit on Tuesday,
but made it clear that they hoped the police caught the man, or people who killed their
father and husband. Neighbours had come to the house to support the family in their hour of need.
One of the daughters said her mother was still too distraught to speak to anyone. She sustained minor injuries on her arms where she had been tied up.
Mbokodo said anyone with information is urged to contact Capt JJ Olivier immediately on 082-449-0334. The registration number of the blue Hyundai is HWK 734 MP.

One killed, one injured in collisionStefan de Villiers
Hendri Els and his two beautiful daughters, Jade and Emily.
A local was killed and another is in critical condition after they were involved in a head-on collision on Saturday night.
Hendri Els and Chelee Falconer, both 37-year-olds, were traveling towards Vergenoeg on the Plaston Road when the accident occurred.
According to Serg Cynthia Mbokodo, spokesman for White River Police, an oncoming Jeep allegedly veered off to the right-hand side of the road, colliding head on with the Renault that Els and Falconer was traveling in.
Els was killed upon impact and Falconer was rushed to hospital. She is being treated for several severe internal injuries.
Emergency personnel battled for two hours to safely remove her from the wreckage.
According to her sister, Anchery Hattingh van Dyk, she is in a critical, but stable condition. “She was woken up from an induced coma on Tuesday morning, and she is showing immense improvement,” she said.
They both worked at Phat Boys during the evenings. After their shift ended on Saturday night, they quickly popped in to a family gathering at Ben’s Den before heading home. Falconer is a teacher at Wem School in KaBokweni during daytime, and Els used to work at Thomas Tyres in White River.
A memorial service for Els was held at NG Kerk Witrivier yesterday.

Annatjie Myburgh case postponed
Helene Eloff
More than seven months have passed since White River’s Ms Annatjie Myburgh had died. When she did not show up for work on June 15 last year, a community search was launched.
Her body was found in the vicinity of the Kruger National Park’s Numbi gate four days later. It is believed that two men had cornered her while she was driving her Pajero and that they robbed her of her vehicle. It was reported that she was forced into the same vehicle and kidnapped. Two men were arrested following her death – Messrs Paul Mathebula and Selby Mabila.
They were charged with kidnapping, robbery and provisionally charged with murder.
Yet the details of what had happened to Myburgh are anticipated to come out in court. Their trial has not yet commenced, as results pertaining to a second post-mortem conducted on the body are still outstanding. Mathebula and Mabila’s case will resume on February 20.
mother and father Sarin and Marius Adendorf, his brothers Marius and Derick, his sister Sarisa van der Merwe and wife Nicole.
His father, who was notii ed shortly after the incident, said they were shocked beyond belief. “Henry was someone that lived life to the full. He was a cheerful, honest and genuine human being.”
They used to live in White River about 17 years ago, and frequently returned for a visit. “Our current visit places renewed emphasis on how big of a difference he made in so many people’s lives.
From our side, we wish to thank everyone who supports us during this difi cult time. But we would like to especially thank those who supported Hendri when times were tough,” he concluded.
It is believed that two men had cornered her while she was
driving her Pajero and that they robbed her of her vehicle.

Johan Coetzer, ‘n inwoner van Witrivier wat die grootste deel van sy lewe gewy het aan die opvoeding van ander, is op 15 Januarie op die ouderdom van 84 oorlede.
Coetzer het vanaf 1982 tot 1992 gesorg dat menige uitblinker van Hoërskool Rob Ferreira, hul voete vind om vorentoe ook soos hy, ‘n verskil in die samelewing te maak.
Na voltooiing van sy hoërskoolloopbaan in Ventersdorp, het hy in 1953 ‘n BSc-graad aand die onderwyskollege in Potchefstroom verwerf.
Sy eerste onderwyspos was in Bethal, gevolg deur Hoërskool Ben Viljoen in Groblersdal waar hy wiskunde aangebied het. Hy het ook hier sy vrou Elsie Magdalene McDonald ontmoet. Hulle sou op 13 Desember vanjaar hul 60ste huweliksherdenking gevier het. Tot en met sy dood, het Ella elke Vrydag ‘n bos rose van Johan ontvang.
In 1974 is hy aangestel as adjunkhoof by Hoërskool Bergsig in Rustenburg waar hy tot in April 1982 gebly het. Hy was toe vir 10 jaar tot sy aftrede in 1992 Hoërskool Rob Ferreira se hoof.
“Vir die eerste keer in jou lewe drop jy my,” het sy vrou Ella tydens sy begrafnis verlede Donderdag gesê.
“Ek neem jou nogal kwalik, dit was glad nie in jou aard nie.”
“Ons harte is stukkend. Ons weet egter waar jy is - wat ‘n wonderlike gerusstelling is dit nie,” het Ella gesê.
“Rus sag my pa,” het sy seun Gerhard gesê. “’n Groot boom het geval. Vir ‘n boom om so groot en majestueus te word, het hy ‘n diep en wye wortelstelsel met goeie voeding nodig. So was die Here, Pa se wortelstelsel en sy Woord Pa se voeding. My hart swel van trots Pa my pa te kan noem.”
“Ek is lief vir Pa en gaan Pa vreeslik mis! Tot ons mekaar weer sien. Pa was my rots, my anker, my wysheid en beste vriend,” het Casie, sy middelste seun gesê. “Die aardbewing wat die Here oor my pad gestuur het, het my rots vernietig en my anker laat sink, maar Pa se wysheid bly, en my vriend is in my hart. In ons laaste oomblikke saam kon Pa nie met my praat nie, maar nog nooit het ek Pa se liefde sterker beleef as toe nie.”
Sy jongste seun Johan, het ook sy gevoelens verwoord: “Die 15de Januarie 2017 was ongetwyveld die swartste,
Johan en sy drie seuns.
Johan Cotzer en Lyle Robinson.
Johan, Ella en sy drie seuns.Johan Coetzer.
Johan Coetzer en sy vrou Ella.
bitterste, donkerste dag in my lewe toe die Here Pa so skielik van my af weggeruk het. Ek was kwaad, verward en moedeloos, want ek het skielik besef hoe baie ek ons telefoongesprekke elke dag gaan mis - die wyse raad, grappe oor sport, Ouma se suikeren die terugvoer wat ek oor alles wat op die plaas aangaan, moes gee: die reën, droogte, beeste, skape, varke en sommer alles.
“Pa, ek aanvaar nou en sê dankie vir die Here dat Hy Pa die afgelope 47 jaar vir my geleen het. Vir my was dit heeltemal te kort, maar ek weet die hemel het op dié dag die beste engel bygekry.
‘n Huldeblyk van sy jarelange vriend, Lyle Robinson.
“Ek en Oom Johan se vriendskap strek oor 35 jaar vanaf 1982 tot 15 Januarie 2017. Ons
het as vriende voluit gelewe. Daar is gereeld gebraai, blommetoere gedoen, elke jaar twee maal by Ngwenya of Burchels vir ‘n week saam gebly en elke dag die Wildtuin besoek.
oom Johan was ’n dinamiese man met ’n sterk karakter. Die dinamika was gesetel in eienskappe wat hy op ’n natuurlike en gemaklike wyse uitgeleef het:
- Hy was presies en analities,- ‘n Lojale vriend met wysheid,- ‘n Godsman gedissiplineerd en standvastig - Hy laat my dink aan Petrus, die rots, in die Bybel,- Was altyd kalm en rustig met ‘n goeie geheue en skerp wiskundige brein,- Het ook ‘n baie goeie en fyn humorsin gehad, was altyd positief, opbouend en nooit neerslagtig nie.
Voormalige skoolhoof van Robbies oorledeStefan de Villiers
“Tannie Elsie (sy vrou) en Kobie het hard probeer om Oom Johan sover te kry om sy groente te eet, maar hy het botweg geweier, want hy het geglo pap en vleis is groente.
Hy was baie lief vir sy sport, vernaamlik krieket en rugby. Hy was ‘n lojale BlouBul- ondersteuner en as hulle verloor het, was dit die skeidsregter se skuld.
“Vir sy betrokkenheid as mentor in my lewe, sal ek vir altyd dankbaar wees en sy gesprekke het ewigheidswaarde tot my en ander se lewens toegevoeg.
“Ek groet my vriend, maar neem tydelik afskeid van hom, want die feit bly staan, ons sal eendag mekaar weer ontmoet en dan sal die vriendskap voortgaan en vir ewig blywend wees. Totsiens ou vriend. Tot ons mekaar weer ontmoet.”

Robbies se klas van 1966 in Februarie byeenVyftig jaar uit matriek is werklik ‘n
mylpaal en ofskoon dié prestasie reeds verlede jaar bereik is, hou Rob Ferreira se klas van 1966 die eerste naweek in Februarie reünie.
Die verwagting is dat sowat 30 lede van die aanvanklike klas van 80 die geselligheid op 4 Februarie by die skool se lapa gaan bywoon. Dit was destyds ‘n briljante rugbyjaar vir die Robbies en jy kan maar weet, met mense soos die legendariese Piet Knipe in die geselskap, gaan die praatjies oor 1966 se rugby hoogty vier.
Robbie se hoof, mnr. Dawie Oberholzer sê 1966 was werklik ‘n geskiedkundige datum vir die skool. Dit was die jaar dat die relatief jong skool se eerste rugbyspan die magtige Hoërskool Nelspruit twee keer binne 11 dae onder die stof geloop het. Onder opskrif “Rob Ferreira wen weer” , is daar in Die
Laevelder van destyds berig: “In ‘n uiterse aanskoulike en spannende
wedstryd wat Woensdag 25 Mei op die velde by Rob Ferreira gespeel is, het die skool se eerste span sy onoorwonne rekord vir die seisoen gehandhaaf en die eerste span van Nelspruit Hoërskool met 9-6 geklop. Beide spanne moet krediet kry vir die puik voetbal wat gespeel is. Baie van die groot aantal toeskouers het ná die wedstryd opgemerk dat sulke voetbal selde gesien word.”
Dit was die tweede keer in 11 dae in twee wedstryde wat die twee skole teen mekaar
gespeel het. Eers met 11-8 en toe met 9-6.Knipe, wat daardie dag voorry gespeel
het, onthou nog hoe byna die hele Witrivier daardie dag sy deure gesluit het sodat almal die wedstryd kon bywoon - en die uitbundigheid wat op die oorwinning gevolg
het. Knipe het later self ‘n skouspelagtige loopbaan as rugbyafrigter op skool-, kollege- en provinsiale vlak gehad. Hy was afrigter van Afies se eerste span toe hulle in 1972 die Administrateursbeker met Hoërskool Nelspruit moes deel, maar ook ‘n keer of wat toe Afies die inaal teen sy ou vyand gewen het. Hulle sê as Piet nie moes plaas toe kom om in die Laeveld te kom boer nie, sou daar ‘n belowende loopbaan as breier en sportadminstrateur by die Blou Bulle op Loftus vir hom gewag het.
Hoërskool Rob Ferreira het soos ‘n loot uit die ou Witrivierse Laerskool gegroei wat in 1948 van status verander het na ‘n junior hoërskool. So het die skool tot ‘n selfstandige hoërskool in 1955 ontwikkel met mnr. P.H. Kat as waarnemende hoof. Die skoolgebou is in 1954 voltooi en die koshuis in 1959. Die skool was maar ‘n skamele 11 jaar oud met die klas van 1966.
Rob was destyds ‘n parallellemediumskool met Afrikaans en Engels as voertale in afsonderlike klasse. Desnietemin, vertel Johan Potgieter en Maryna Maree, hoofseun en hoofdogter, was daar geen sprake van verdeeldheid tussen Boer en Brit nie. Almal in die skool; - ingelote die baie Portugeessprekende leerlinge uit Mosambiek - het geesdriftig saamgewek as ‘n toonbeeld
Dit was die jaar dat die relatief jong skool se eerste rugbyspan die magtige Hoërskool Nelspruit
twee keer binne 11 dae onder die stof geloop het
van eensgesindheid met hegte vroendskappe wat langer as vyf dekades staande gebly het.
Die 1966-Robbies, wat nou raak-raak aan die 70 en stuk-stuk nou al afgetree het, het diep spore op landbougebied, in die sakewêreld en bankwes, die onderwys, die mediese en beroepswêreld, ilmbedryf, die kunste en die akademie getrap. Nasionale toekennings en Springbokkleure is ook oor die jare deur sommige verwef.
Daar is egter nog ‘n paar bekendes en geliefdes uit daardie tyd wat soek is: Jakkie Haveman, Theuns Nel, Susan Cronjé (later Scott) Marais “Boeboe” du Toit, Sandra Hetrick (later Estey), Lynette Otte, Frikkie Kruger (voorheen van Lydenburg), Fanie Kruger, Bakkies Pretorius, Denise van Heerden en Etienne Visser wat skooltyd van Graskop af gekom het en later op Strubenvale gewoon het.
Maar dit is nog nie te laat nie. Almal wat nog betyds na vore kom, kan op 4 Februarie aansluit, sê Johan Potgietyer in Pretoria. Bel hom by 083-354-1206 of vir Hannes Raath in Witrivier by 072-140-1812.

The King’s School now offi cially fi t for royaltyThobile Mlangeni
After 30 years of existence, The King’s School has i nally been accredited by Umalusi, the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training.
This is a success that few private schools in the province have attained.
“This ongoing process started two years ago, and after thorough inspection and regular visits to our school by representatives from Umalusi, we were ecstatic that we were i nally granted accreditation which allows us to partake in
the departmental examinations, allowing our grade 12 learners to receive the NCS certii cates. All this feels wonderful, all the work we had done was worth it,” explained management.
The King’s School’s i rst matric class of 16 candidates made history when it attained a 100 per cent pass rate in the 2016 exams.

Forty excited youngsters started their grade one year at Uplands Prep on Wednesday morning.
Divided into two classes of 20 each, teachers Claudia Harris and Sally Wiggill kicked the day off by getting to know the
pupils. When the boys and girls were asked what they did this past holiday,
one made no secret of the fact that he had tried every fl avour of ice cream on the market.
They did some colouring, proceeded to the library to stick their noses in some books, and to the IT centre where they learned how to use Tux Paint.
While many were unsure how to to work a computer at i rst, some were able to type their full
names and draw pictures from the get-go. With some help from teacher Jo-Anne Choonara though, everyone soon became comfortable
with the machines.

Jacques Marais, skyfwerpatleet van Hoërskool Nelspruit, behoort homself vanjaar nog meer deeglik op die atletiekveld te laat geld.
Dié o/15-seun se vertoning die afgelope Saterdag in die Vodacom-atletiekbyeenkoms, was die voorste vertoning deur ‘n NHS-atleet. Sy gooi van 50,10m was 0,7m verder as sy afstand by NHS se BUCO-interhuis van 49,40m.
Hoërskool Rob Ferreira se Ashaan Sebastian Greaver, was die topatleet van die dag, deur 1 124 punte op die Absa-tabel in sy sak te steek. Hy het vir seuns o/14, met ‘n rekordafstand van 6,07m in die verspringput gespog. Sy persoonlike beste afstand in die item, is 6,10m wat hy vroeër vandeesmaand by die Sasol Ope-kampioenskappe opgestel het.
Ashaan kan droom om in Usain Bolt se voetspore te volg nadat hy nie net met die trofee vir beste prestasie van die dag op die baan weggestap het nie, maar ook ‘n trofee vir beste prestasie in die 100m-hekkies ontvang het.
NHS se atlete het 112 medaljes op die dag ingepalm waarvan 28 goud, 40 silwer en 44 brons was. Afrikaans Hoër Meisies was
tweede met 97 (44 goud, 30 silwer en 23 brons), Afrikaans Hoër Seuns derde (27 goud, 25 silwer en 28 brons) gevolg deur Robbies met 40 (17 goud, 11 silwer en 12 brons). Hoërskole Ben Vorster en Lydenburg was onderskeidelik vyfde en sesde.
NHS se Tertius Mentz (o/17) het die langafstandtrofee vir sy tyd van 04:12,94 (808 punte) in die 1 500m opgeraap. Hy het ‘n verdere 902 punte in die 800m bymekaargemaak.
‘n Atleet van wie daar nog baie gehoor gaan word, Shana Scott (NHS), wat by haar skool se interhuisbyeenkoms twee rekords opgestel het, het die beste van die dogters van die plaaslike skole presteer. Sy het die spies in die dogters o/14 op ‘n afstand van 31,03m in die grond geplant, wat 841 punte werd is.
Suzaan Nel (o/15) was kort op haar spanmaat se hakke, met goue medaljes in die verspring, 100m en 200m. Haar afstand in die verspring, was 4,91m. Haar 13,03sek in die 100m het haar 808 punte in die sak gebring en haar tyd van 27,08 in die 200m is 786 punte werd.
Rob se Nkosana Mpinga (o/16, 200m en 100m), Junior Monlane (o/14, verspring), Markus Klopper (o/15, hoogspring), Amos Khoza (o/16, 200m en 800m), Thabiso Matheba (o/14, hoogspring en 100m-hekkies), Thapelo Nkuna (o/15, hoogspring en verspring), Christopher Thompson (o/19, 100m), Nqobile Mathoba (o/14, verspring), James Nakay (o/14, hoogspring) en Sumari Bekker (o/17, gewigstoot) het elk meer as 800 punte op
die Absa-tabel gekry. Thulani Lekhuleni (Rob) spog met ‘n nuwe persoonlike beste tyd in die 3 000m - dit is ook ‘n byeenkomsrekord.
Die rekord van 9:14,5 is deur Thulani
verbeter en ‘n nuwe tyd van 8:55,70 is in die boeke aangeteken.
Die wedloop van die dag was egter tussen NHS se De Villiers Basson en Thulani.
Die atleet van Robbies was eerste oor die wenstreep met ‘n tyd van 1:57,6 en De Villiers was tweede met 1:57,7.
Hoërskool Barberton speel vanjaar gasheer vir die Mediclinic Nelspruit Interhoër wat Saterdag 18 Februarie plaasvind.
