Volksblad <\/span>het op 7 Maart 2020 berig \u2019n somber atmosfeer het geheers toe die laaste diere uit die dieretuin verwyder en dit finaal gesluit is nadat talle diere weens honger gevrek het. Die dieretuin is in 1906 geopen, en teen 2020 moes 151 diere \u2019n ander heenkome kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRaadslede was op Vrydag 31 Mei bekommerd toe die metro se begroting vir die 2024-\u201925-boekjaar goedgekeur is, maar daar n\u00earens voorsiening gemaak is vir die aankoop van kos vir diere wat die burgemeester na die dieretuin wil terugbring nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nthatisi het egter ges\u00ea dit gaan alles uit die metro se \u201ceie geld\u201d gefinansier word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn di\u00e9 stadium skuld die Vrystaatse provinsiale regering die metro sowat R1,8 miljard, inwoners skuld sowat R7 miljard en sakeondernemings sowat R2,5 miljard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die skuld aan die metro beloop sowat R11 miljard, terwyl die begroting wat goedgekeur is R11,8 miljard is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns bied ook aan inwoners 50%-afslag op skuld aan as hulle dit kom betaal. Ons sal met daardie geld onder meer die dieretuin in stand hou en kos vir die diere koop,\u201d s\u00ea Nthatisi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raadslede was ook bekommerd oor die standaard van die hokke in die dieretuin, maar Nthatisi s\u00ea hy het die Bloemfonteinse DBV daar gehad om seker te maak dit is op peil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar gaan net kleiner diere aangehou word, wat teen minder as kosprys van ander dieretuine in die land, soos die Johannes\u00adburgse dieretuin, bekom sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense moenie paniekerig raak nie. Ons gaan mooi na die diere omsien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea groter diere sal by die metro se Kwaggafontein-dieretuin gehuisves word, maar hulle maak eers seker die veiligheids\u00admaatre\u00ebls is voldoende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die heropening sal op die volgende raadsvergadering as agendapunt dien, s\u00ea Nthatisi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns sal eers daarna kan s\u00ea wanneer die dieretuin heropen gaan word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Volksblad <\/span>het Maandag die dieretuin by Koningspark besoek en dit was silwerskoon, ook die hokke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Volksblad <\/span>het op 15 Junie 2019 berig die dieretuin kry \u2019n skamele R1,5 miljoen van die metro se begroting in die 2019-\u201920-boekjaar, met geen voor\u00adsiening wat gemaak is vir die verskuiwing van die diere na die Kwaggafontein-dieretuin nie. In daardie sta\u00addium sou die diere na Kwaggafontein verskuif word.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNou is daar niks vir die dieretuin in die 2024-\u201925-boekjaar begroot nie, maar dit gaan heropen word, s\u00ea die raadslede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sello More, munisipale bestuurder, het op 24 Mei saam met \u2019n span wat gemoeid is met die dieretuin se heropening in die dieretuin gaan stap, s\u00ea Qondile Khedama, kommuni\u00adkasiehoof van die metro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie dieretuin is die afgelope paar maande skoongemaak, die gras is gesny en hokke is geverf,\u201d s\u00ea Khedama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Thabang Thinda, departementshoof van gemeenskapdienste in die metro, het \u2019n vorderingsverslag oor die dieretuin se heropening aan More oorhandig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierin word die fases uiteengesit waarvolgens die dieretuin heropen gaan word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
