‘n Soliede marmer-grafsteen is van ‘n graf in die Memorium-begraafplaas in Bloemfontein gesteel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan Eloff-Joubert (89) s\u00ea sy is moedeloos nadat vandale nou die tweede keer dele van haar oorlede man se grafsteen gesteel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In 2021 moes ons die kopstuk weer vas sit nadat die marmer waarop dit gestaan het, afgesteel is,” s\u00ea sy oor haar man, wyle Gawie Joubert wat in 2017 oorlede is, se graf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ek gaan gereeld saam met ‘n tuinwerker en my huurder om inspeksie te doen by sy graf,” s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tannie Susan s\u00ea in Januarie was alles nog reg by die graf, maar toe sy nou verlede week daar ‘n draai gaan maak het om netjies te maak n\u00e1 die baie re\u00ebn, moes sy vind dat die marmersteen, wat die graf bedek het, weg is. “Die gras het al hoog gegroei, wat seker wys dat dit ‘n paar maande terug gebeur het.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea ‘n deel van die grafsteen was daar naby op ‘n ander graf, wat wys dat die boewe net met die helfte van die swaar marmersteen daar weg is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirk Kotze, DA-wyksraadslid s\u00ea daar is baie probleme met grafte in Memorium wat geskend word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Een van die probleme is die grafte wat meer as 100 jaar oud is. Al die grafte het ‘n 100 jaar pag op voordat dit weer gebruik mag word. Ongelukkig is daar geen register van grafte nie en baie moeilik om te bepaal wie waar begrawe is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kotz\u00e9 s\u00ea die Mangaung-metro het uiteindelik n\u00e1 10 jaar begin om ‘n heining ter waarde van R5,7 miljoen om die twee dele van die begraafplaas weerskante van Memoriumweg op te rig. Volgens munisipale wetgewing moet die hekke saans om 18:00 gesluit word en in die oggend oopgesluit word, wat nie gedoen word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van die wagte waarvoor die Mangaung-metro R50 000 per maand betaal, is daar niemand by Memorium te sien behalwe die wagte by die krematorium nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tannie Susan sy was 54 jaar oud toe sy met oom Gawie getrou het. “Toe ons jonk was, het ek vir hom ges\u00ea hy gaan nog horingoud word en ek gaan nog met hom trou. Hy het drie vroue oorleef voordat ek met hom getrou het toe hy 72 was,” vertel sy oor haar man. Sy s\u00ea hy het gehelp met die bou van die A.P. Kerk Moedergemeente in Bloemfontein. “Ek wil graag sy gedagtenis eer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joubert-Eloff s\u00ea sy het nou gereel dat die graf weer netjies gemaak word, maar sy kan nie meer die duur marmer wat daar eens was, bekostig nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
