LIEWE VRIENDIN  /  KOLLEGA  /  BESORGDE OUER

Ons het onlangs verskeie skrywes regoor Suid Afrika uitgestuur, aangaande die verdwyning van Sheldean Human. Koerante, radiostasies en televisie het daagliks die nuutste verwikkelinge vir meer as twee weke lank uitgesaai. Suid Afrika het gehoop en gebid...

Vanaand het ons die tragiese nuus ontvang dat haar liggaampie gevind is...haar ontvoerder het gebieg en het die polisie na die plek gelei waar hy haar erg-ontbinde liggaam weggesteek het. Suid Afrika treur vanaand...

As ‘n gemeenskap was dit skokkend vir ons dat een van ons kinders weggeraak het. Ons het die polisie bygestaan in hulle soektog en hard uitgeskreeu teen hierdie vieslike daad wat gepleeg was. Maar vir klein Sheldean Human was dit te laat...

Om ons woede oor die slagting van ‘n onskuldige kind uit te dra, het talle besorgde ouers en lede van eBlockWatch (www.eblockwatch.co.za) besluit dat ons op Vrydag 9 Maart 2007 weer pienk hemde en denims sal dra (dieselfde kleertjies wat Sheldean aangehad het met die dag wat sy verdwyn het). Ons sal ook by die hof bymekaar kom waar die verdagte sal verskyn en waar ons, ons frustrasie sal uitbasuin en ‘n beroep op die Owerhede en Gemeenskappe sal doen om misdaad daadwerkilk die hoof te bied.

DUS wil ons almal versoek om deel te neem aan hierdie tweede Pienk Dag. Trek jou pienk hemp en denim aan om te wys jy staan op teen geweld teen kinders en jy ondesteun ons in simpatie met Shekdean Human se familie.

Dra hierdie versoek oor aan elke moontlike persoon wat jy kan bereik deur jou e-pos, selfoon en mond tot mond.
DEAR FRIEND / COLLEAGUE / CARING PARENT

We recently forwarded numerous communiqués regarding the dissapearance of Sheldean Human, throughout South Africa. Newspapers, radio and television channels carried updates on a daily basis for more than two weeks. South Africa hoped and prayed...

Sadly, we were advised tonight that she had been found...her abductor confessed and led police to where he hid her badly decomposed body. South Africa is mourning tonight...

As a community, it was devastating for us to have had one of our kids go missing. We supported the police in their search and cried out against this horrible thing that was happening. But for little Sheldean Human...it was too late...

To demonstrate our outrage at the slaughtering of an innocent child, a decision was taken tonight by members of eBlockWatch (www.eblockwatch.co.za) that all its members and fellow South Africans will wear Pink shirts and jeans on Friday 9 March 2007 (this is what Sheldean wore the day she went missing). We will also gather at the court where the culprit will be appearing on this day, to shout out our frustration, calling upon our Government and communities to stand up against crime.

THUS, we invite everybody to take part in the second Pink Day on Friday, 9 March 2007. Wear a pink top and jeans, in support of and sympathy with Sheldean Human's family and to show you oppose violence against children.

Forward this request to all people you can reach via e-mail, cellphone and mouth-to-mouth.
SUPPORT RECEIVED / ONDERSTEUNERS

We had a list of supporters on this page, but due to the overwhelming support, we have decided to remove this list, and simply list:
Ons het 'n lys van almal wat hierdie saak ondersteun hier gehad, maar weens die oorweldigende ondersteuning het ons besluit om die lys te verwyder en slegs te noem:

THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA

PINK COURT PROTEST
Rules for Court Protest:
  1. The protest will be from 8:00 until the court case is over.
  2. Everybody please wear pink shirts.
  3. Banners en Posters may contain photos of Sheldean and any other children, even slogans. PLEASE NOTE NO PHOTOS OF THE ACCUSED, AS WELL AS REMARKS AGAINST HIM OR HIS FAMILY.
  4. Because everyone has been touched deeply by these events, we ask that everyone keep act responsibly and do not turn to any kind of violence. No damage to property, turning up of rubbish bins, etc. We know you won't do it, but we have to put it in writing.
  5. No children allowed, please. They can easily go missing between so many people or even get hurt if anything violent does happen, and it can also do psychological damage to them since they may experience this kind of action as threatening.
  6. We are representing an entire nation, so no racial tension or mention, please. We're all fighting for the same goal.
  7. Very important. You must pick your spot where you'll be standing. We may not walk around in groups, otherwise it is seen as a march. We do not have the necessary approval for such a march, so we ask that people don't come in busses or walk in groups to the court. Yes, please drive in one car and be dropped off in front of the court and the driver can go park the vehicle.
  8. If anybody is aware of anything that happens and I cannot see or hear it, please get someone else to help immediately.
  9. There will be a lot of press, among others possible famous stars. We ask that people don't become 'starstruck' and forget the goal we are trying to achieve. Although we are going to promote EBW, they are not the people who are organising this action, but we are representing a community that has been brought together by them, so please do their name justice.

PIENK HOF PROTES
Reëls vir Hof Protes:
  1. Die samekoms is vanaf 8:00 tot na die saak verby is.
  2. Almal trek asseblief pienk hemde aan.
  3. Banners en plakate mag foto's hê van Sheldean en enige ander kinders. Selfs slagspreuke. LET WEL GEEN FOTOS VAN DIE AANGEKLAAGDE NIE, ASOOK GEEN SNEDIGE AANMERKINGS TEENOOR HOM OF SY FAMILIE NIE.
  4. Omdat ons almal diep geraak is hierdeur wil ek vra dat elkeen asb. vir hom/haarself in toom hou en nie geweldadig raak nie. Geen beskadiging van goed of omkeer van asblikke, ens. Ek weet julle sal dit nie doen nie, maar ek moet dit op skrif sit.
  5. Geen kinders word toegelaat nie, hulle kan self wegraak in so 'n massa mense en ook seer kry sou iets geweldadigs dalk gebeur, en dit kan ook sielkundige skade doen aan hulle omdat die soort van aksie baie bedreigend vir hulle voel.
  6. Ons gaan die hele nasie verteenwoordig so geen rassehaat of so tussen die mense nie, asb. Almal stry hier vir dieselfde doel.
  7. Baie belangrik. Jy moet jou plekkie kies waar jy staan, en mag nie in groepe rondloop nie, dit word dan gesien as 'n optog. Ons het nie die nodige goedkeuring vir so 'n optog nie, so ons vra dat die mense nie in busse of groepe na die hof loop nie. Ja, ry met een kar en word voor die hof afgelaai en die bestuurder gaan parkeer die voertuig.
  8. Indien enige iemand bewus is van iets wat gebeur en ek of een van my oë of ore kan dit nie dadelik sien nie, kry dadelik iemand om te kom help.
  9. Daar gaan baie pers wees, onder andere moontlik bekende sterre. Ons vra dat die mense nie 'starstruck' raak en vergeet van die doel wat ons probeer bereik nie. Alhoewel ons EBW ook gaan adverteer, is hulle nie die mense wat die aksie gereël het nie, maar ons verteenwoordig 'n gemeenskap wat deur hulle bymekaar gebring is. So hou hulle naam hoog, asb.
