Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die dood van ‘n Klerksdorpse motorfietsryer verlede week tussen Potch en Parys het weer ou wonde oopgekrap vir die ma van ‘n ander biker wat twee jaar gelede in ‘n ongeluk dood is.

Toe was die Biker-gemeenskap ook in rou toe Boela Butler dood is. Die botsing teen ‘n bakkie op 30 September 2023 het regoor Sundowners Pub in Buffelsdoornweg gebeur. Hy sou nou 27 jaar oud gewees het.

Sy ma, Ansa Williams, sal die dag nooit vergeet nie en sê sy kan nie aanvaar wat gebeur het nie. Wat dit vir haar erger maak, is dat sy die bestuurder en die voertuig wat saam met Boela in die botsing was, gereeld sien.

Sy huil as sy vertel dat sy die bakkie orals sien wat voor haar seun ingedraai het. “Die man ry rond en dit lyk nie of dit hom pla nie. Dis asof hy dink niks het gebeur nie. Ek kook as ek die bakkie sien,” sê sy.
