Krag is die stok in die speke vir inwoners van Moeggeploeg, 'n informele nedersetting in Seaview, Pacaltsdorp. 'n Blitsbesoek van die openbare orde polisie en munisipale amptenare het inwoners mateloos ontstel nadat al die onwettige koppelings van elektrisiteit binne 'n ommesientjie uitgeruk is. Hierdie aksie het Dinsdagoggend, omstreeks 09:00 plaasgevind.

Traangas en brandende bande ná kragaksie in Moeggeploeg

Motorbande is in die straat gebrand. Skoolgaande kinders was olo hier betrokke.

"Wat nou van al die vleis in my yskas?" vra een inwoner benoud. "Gelukkig het ek darem nog 'n vrieskas wat help dat goed vir 'n week koud bly."

Daar is sowat 84 plakkershutte, elk met 'n gesin, wat in Moeggeploeg woon. Die seeuitsig is veral iets besonders. Hierdie andersins gemoedelike atmosfeer het vinnig verander toe die polisie met hul aksie begin het.

Kinders, wat natuurlik nou met skoolvakansie is, het hul misnoeë uitgedruk deur motorbande in die pad te brand.

Kort daarna het rubberkoeëls en traangas gevlieg. Die inwoner met die vrieskas beweer dat daar lelike goed vir die kinders gesê is.

"Hulle het onse kinders gedreig dat hulle nie vanaand 'n huis gaan hê nie," het sy gesê.
