Die hekke van die Koningspark-roostuin in Bloemfontein is Saterdag weer vir die publiek oopgegooi nadat meer as R1 miljoen bestee is om di\u00e9 park na sy eertydse glorie te herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die grasperke is nou kort en groen, die nuut-aangeplante rose groei mooi, en Saterdag het daar water in die sierlike spuitfontein geplas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 eens pragtige park in Bloemfontein is die afgelope paar maande met groot moeite en teen ho\u00eb koste opgeknap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johan Snyman van OurSA s\u00ea hulle wil nie net Koningspark-roostuin en die park oorkant Koningsweg opknap nie, maar eindelik die park tot die eertydse dieretuin uitbrei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met die hulp van die Mangaung-metro en die niewinsgewende organisasie Anchor of Hope is daar sedert Junie verlede jaar hard gewerk om infrastruktuur te herstel en die tuine en fonteine op te knap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeta Swart van Anchor op Hope s\u00ea hulle het ingeskryf vir die TV-program Lottoland help \u2019n dorp<\/em>. Hulle moes vooraf \u2019n deel van die werk doen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die span van Lottoland het Bloemfontein later die jaar besoek en R487 000 vir die projek geskenk. Die program is in Desember op kykNET uitgesaai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedertdien het daar baie gebeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swart s\u00ea hulle het met die skenking toerusting en sowat 300 roosplante gekoop en die fonteine in Koningspark en die Rosepark, asook die braaigeriewe op die Loch Logan-eiland, is opgeknap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die munisipaliteit het intussen die spreiligte herstel en Raubex het die staalheinings om die park en dakke van die braai-afdakke geverf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intussen het Rudie van der Merwe van R&S Plumbing, voorsitter van die Loodgietersvereniging van Suid-Afrika (Iopsa), en Pieter de Kock, ondervoorsitter en eienaar van PDK Plumbing, hul dienste beskikbaar gestel en met materiaal wat Berlesell geskenk het die badkamers, wat deur vandalisme verwoes is, weer toegerus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colin Povall van Drain Busters en ook \u2019n lid van IOPSA, het die riool hier kom skoonspuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danksy al die werk wat die afgelope tyd hier gedoen is en die insette van borge en Anchor of Hope wat hul inkomste uit tuinwerk oor die stad heen in die parke teruggeploeg het, kon sowat 70 mense \u2013 hoofsaaklik gesinne van oud tot jonk \u2013 die naweek op die Loch Logan-eiland kuier en die braaigeriewe gebruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snyman s\u00ea benewens die mense wat hier piekniek gehou het, het baie mense Saterdag net deur die park gestap en die werk van die afgelope maande kom besigtig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOurSA se mense is in gesprek met die gemeenskap en munisipaliteit om Anchor of Hope te ondersteun om die parke te onderhou. Ons hoop regtig dat ons die park elke Saterdag aan die publiek kan oopstel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy s\u00ea die Cheetah-rugbyunie, die Vrystaat-krieketunie, asook ondernemings soos Stamboek wat in die omgewing van die park is, is reeds betrokke met geldelike bydrae om die park te onderhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns hoop al die woonbuurt\u00adverenigings en nog meer ondernemings kan met ons hande vat om die park in stand te hou sodat dit tot voordeel van die gemeenskap gebruik kan word,\u201d s\u00ea Snyman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saterdag was daar \u2019n veiligheidspan om toe te sien dat besoekers veilig was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snyman s\u00ea die gemeenskap se insette en steun is nodig om die volhoubaarheid van die projek te verseker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns wil ook met veiligheids\u00adondernemings saamwerk om 24 uur-sekuriteit hier te kry om die bates te beskerm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is belangrik dat gesinne en vriende in veiligheid hier kan kuier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy s\u00ea die ideaal is dat die park elke Saterdag en ook tydens groot sportgeleenthede soos rugby, krieket, tennis en atletiek sal oop wees sodat mense daar kan kom saamkuier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
