Die hoofbeskuldigde in die opspraakwekkende robwelpie-videosaak, Marius Tredoux (20), is Vrydag in die landdroshof op Laaiplek gevonnis tot tien maande tronkstraf wat in geheel opgeskort is vir drie jaar op voorwaarde dat hy hom in dié tyd nie skuldig maak aan enige oortreding wat met die aanklagte teen hom verband hou nie.

Tredoux, 'n bekende inwoner van Velddrif, moet ook korrektiewe toesig ondergaan wat onder meer behels dat hy tien maande lank onder huisarres geplaas word.

Die vonnis is met gemengde gevoelens begroet - veral weens die wreedheid van die daad en omdat Tredoux se aanvanklike mede-beskuldigde, Rynhard van den Heever (23), skotvry daarvan afgekom het nadat die klagtes teen hom vroeër teruggetrek is weens "onvoldoende bewyse".
Die publiek meen Van den Heever is as medepligtige ewe skuldig en het niks gedoen om die mishandeling te keer nie en het verkies om dit op video vas te lê.

Tredoux het by 'n vorige verskyning skuldig gepleit op verskeie aanklagte wat verband hou met dieremishandeling en wreedheid teenoor mariene diere.

Die saak spruit uit 'n gru-video wat Abrie Bester in Junie verlede jaar op sosialemedianetwerke versprei het om aandag op dié gru-daad te vestig. In die video kan duidelik gesien word hoe twee mans in ‘n boot ‘n jong robwelpie genadeloos met ‘n skerp voorwerp op die snoet kap, rondgooi en teen die boot vasslaan terwyl hulle lag en mekaar in kru taal aanmoedig.

Die gevoellose wreedheid van die jong mans se optrede het landwyd opslae in die media gemaak.

Die Swartland en Weskus DBV het landdros Brown in 'n persverklaring bedank vir sy weldeurdagte vonnis en het gesê hoewel almal steeds die voorval betreur, is hulle onder die omstandighede tevrede dat die vonnis Tredoux vir die volgende drie jaar genoegsaam aan bande sal lê. Laaiplek is 'n klein vissersgemeenskappie en die DBV vertrou dat die gemeenskap dit dadelik by die owerhede sal aanmeld as hy enige van die voorwaardes oortree.
Die DBV het ook die fluitjieblaser, Abrie Bester, bedank dat hy die voorval op die lappe gebring en 'n betroubare getuie was ondanks die feit dat hy glo gedreig is.

So lui die amptelike verklaring:

Seal pup torturer, Marius Tredoux, gets
10 months correctional supervision

The man who plead guilty to crimes in terms of the Animal Protection Act after being caught on video stabbing a seal pup and smashing its body against a boat was sentenced at the Magistrates Court in Laaiplek, Velddrif in the Western Cape on Friday 23 August 2019.

Marius Tredoux was sentenced to a 10 month jail sentence suspended for 3 years. This sentence will come into effect if any of the following terms are violated:
If found guilty of the same charges for 3 years
If found catching fish in the sea or river for 3 years
If found near the sea or even on a beach for 3 years
If found to be abusing alcohol or drugs for three years.
In addition the perpetrator got correctional house arrest for a period of 10 months. He may only leave his home to go to work, if he has work.

The Swartland and West Coast SPCA wants to thank Magistrate Brown for his well considered sentence in this particular case. Although we are still saddened by what took place and watching the video of the horrendous act will forever be seared into the memory of the SPCA staff we feel that given the circumstances the sentence will shackle and punish Marius Tredoux for the next 3 years. Laaiplek is a small fishing community and we are confident that the residents will report any violation of his restrictions to the relevant authorities.
The Swartland SPCA is also thankful to Abri Bester for being a steadfast and reliable witness.

We have been led to believe that he was threatened when he became involved in this case and it was known that he would testify.

Die gewilde Driftwood-restaurant langs die Langebaan-strandmeer is vroeër vandag in puin gelê deur 'n brand wat vermoedelik ontstaan het toe gasbottels ontplof het.

Geskokte inwoners en toeskouers het oral gestaan en toekyk en foto's en videos van die voorval is wyd op sosialemedianetwerke gedeel. Sover vasgestel kon word, was die polisie en brandweer vinnig op die toneel en kon betyds gekeer word dat die vlamme na omliggende geboue en Pearly's restaurant langsaan versprei. Niemand is beseer nie.

* Uitspraak en vonnisoplegging in die opspraakwekkende robwelpie-saak is vandag tot 23 Augustus uitgestel nadat die departement van korrektiewe dienste se verslae glo nie by die hof beskikbaar gestel kon word nie.
Marius Tredoux (20) van Velddrif sou vandag in die landdroshof op Laaiplek gevonnis word nadat hy by 'n vorige verskyning skuldig gepleit het op verskeie aanklagte wat verband hou met dieremishandeling en wreedheid teenoor mariene diere.
Die saak spruit uit 'n gru-video wat Abrie Bester in Junie verlede jaar op sosialemedianetwerke versprei het om aandag op dié gru-daad te vestig. In die video kan duidelik gesien word hoe twee mans in ‘n boot ‘n jong robwelpie genadeloos met ‘n skerp voorwerp op die snoet kap, rondgooi en teen die boot vasslaan terwyl hulle lag en mekaar in kru taal aanmoedig.
Die saak teen die mede-beskuldigde, Rynhard van den Heever (23), is onlangs teruggetrek.
