’n Bokskryt?
Nee! Verkeerd!
Teer?
Nee, weer verkeerd!
“As jy 20 jaar terug vir my gesê het ’n toernooi is gekanselleer omdat hulle ‘n bokskryt gesteel het, sou ek gesê het jy jok, maar dit het gebeur!” sê boksafrigter Chris Reynierse.
Reynierse rig vir Minnaar Pieterse af wat laas naweek aan ‘n toernooi in eMalahleni moes deelneem.
Toe die organiseerders Vrydagaand die bokskryt wou opslaan, was dit skoonveld.
Die kryt behoort aan die Mpumalanga provinsie en word geskuif soos waar toernooie by klubs aangebied word.
Reynierse sê dat dit nie sommer enige skelm is wat die kryt kon steel nie.
“Die bokskryt breek op in ses stukke en dit vat seker ses mans om een stuk te skuif. Dit is nie sommer iets wat jy op ‘n bakkie laai en wegry nie.”
Hy skat dat die kryt tussen R30 000 en R40 000 werd is.
Die vermoede bestaan dat daar iemand uit die binnegeledere dalk kop in een mus met die boewe is en dat die kryt heel moontlik op die swartmark vir so min as R10 000 verkwansel gaan word.
•Op Groblersdal het inwoners gekla oor ’n slaggat voor die Alzu perseel. Die munisipaliteit het teer gaan aflaai om die gat later die dag reg te maak, toe hulle terugkeer was die teer gesteel.
