Plaasbeleg
Onwettige plaasbesettings het dele van die Mooketsi-boeregemeenskap die afgelope week in rep en roer gehad, toe stamlede begin het om woonerwe op landbougrond af te baken en dit teen R750 elk te koop aangebied het. ‘n Dringende aansoek om ‘n uitsettingsbevel is reeds toegestaan om die besetting van die plaas Dorsbult en die verkoop van erwe ongedaan te kry.
Lede van die Kgashane en Mamatlepa stamowerhede het ook dreigemente uitgevoer om plase in die Zwartkoppies-gebied tussen Modjadjiskloof en Mooketsi te beset, maar is in gesprekke met boere tot ander insigte gebring. Hulle is glo almal vurige EFF-ondersteuners en verwag ‘n besoek van die EFF-leier, mnr Julius Malema, dié naweek.
Die hofbevel is deur mnr Eugene Pohl, seun van wyle mnr Kaspaas Pohl, aangevra teen besetters op Dorsbult. Pohl snr het die plaas kort voor sy dood van ‘n familielid gekoop en dit is nou in die hande van boedelberedderaars. Omdat dit nie bewoon is nie, het besetters die kans gegryp om eerste daar toe te slaan.
Wyle Pohl het vroeër vanjaar feitlik al sy eiendom onder die naam Montina Boerdery vir herverdeling aan die regering verkoop. Dit was ‘n transaksie van meer as R200 miljoen en die grond sou aan die twee stamowerhede oorhandig word. Daar is egter verwarring en plase wat nie hierby betrokke is nie, word ook geteiken.
Woensdagoggend het die twee stamhoofde, hoofman Phetole Mamatlepa en hoofman Kgashane, die plaas Zwartkoppies van mnr Philip Becker en Vennote besoek, met die oog op besetting. Hulle is egter deur boere van die omgewing, mnre Alvin Fleischmann en Lappies Labuschagne voorgekeer. Na ‘n lang gesprek het die twee hoofmanne die perseel verlaat.
Fleischmann het gesê daar is duidelik spanning in die gebied, veral omdat faksies binne die twee stamowerhede na Pohl se skielike dood ‘n maand gelede ‘n “lugleegte” gesien het om onwettig toe te slaan. Volgens hom doen die polisie niks aan die voorvalle nie en bly onbetrokke. Volgens ‘n bron het selfs polisielede van die erwe op Dorsbult “gekoop”, waar penne ingeslaan is, om erwe aan te dui.
Labuschagne, wat met vee en groente boer, sê boere in die omgewing hou hul hekke gesluit en laat niemand sonder toestemming op hul plase toe nie.
Ongelukkig is die afdruk van die oorspronklik brief wat aan die einde van November aan plaaseienaars by Mooketsi gestuur is, baie swak. Ons gee dus hierby ook ‘n verbatim weergawe van die amptelike brief met die stamowerheid se stempel op.
