Wat veronderstel was om ‘n plesierige Kersdag te wees het in ‘n nagmerrie vir vyf gesinne van Sir Lowry’s Pass ontaard toe ‘n brand hul wonings in ‘n oogwink vernietig het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furzel Bitterbosch en sy gesin is geaffekteer deur die verwoestende brand in Matuangstraat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons was Donderdagmiddag (25 Desember) Strand toe. Iemand het ons weggevat Strand toe vir die Kersdag en toe ons terugkom, het ons gel\u00ea en bietjie film gekyk,” vertel Bitterbosch. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Terwyl ons gel\u00ea het, het ons gehoor die meisiekind in die anderkant sing ‘Let it burn’ en sy soek olie. Toe ons uitkyk toe brand die plek alreeds. Ons het probeer om die vlamme dood te gooi, want ons hokke is teen aan mekaar gebou.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Toe ons besig was om die vuur te probeer blus, het sy probeer om ons te stop. Ons het haar uit die pad gehaal en die emmers gebruik om water op die vlamme te gooi, maar hoe meer ons water gegooi het, hoe groter het die vlamme geword. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Die meisie het rejoice en aanhou gesing ‘Let it burn, Let it burn’. So, iewers is iets nie reg nie. Jy kan nie so sing en dis jou blyplek waar jy ook bly en dit brand, maar jy het geen simpatie met wat aan die gebeur is.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jong vrou sing, inwoners dink dis \u2018n grap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Petrolene “Sister Lee” Alberts, ‘n gemeenskapsleier in Sir Lowry’s Pass, s\u00ea sy verneem die bure langs Bitterbosch het ‘n uitval gehad en hulle het glo gedink die meisie maak ‘n grap toe sy na bewering dreig om hul plek aan die brand te steek.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hulle het gedink sy maak maar net ‘n joke, dat sy maar net so s\u00ea, maar sal dit nie regtig doen nie. Toe sing sy ‘Let it burn’. So basies het sy die brand gestig dat hierdie huisgesinne nou die skade moet ly.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitterbosch voeg by dat die jong vrou se gedrag aan die brandweer gerapporteer is, maar die brandweer verslag moet nog afgehandel word voor enigeen in hegtenis geneem kan word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hulle het ges\u00ea hulle kan nie op hoor-s\u00ea gaan nie en [sal] eerder verdere stappe neem n\u00e1 die brandverslag afgehandel is.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Bitterbosch was hulle pogings om die vlamme onder bedwang te bring te vergeefs. Sy gesin en al die ander gesinne wat op die erf gewoon het, het alles verloor. Sy gesin bestaan uit 10 mense \u2013 hy en sy vrou saam met hul ses kinders, asook twee kinders wat in hul sorg geplaas is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valerie Mentoor, wat vir die vyf huisgesinne vesting op haar erf gegee het, is ook deur die brand geaffekteer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My hele huis is tot op die grond afgebrand. Die rede hoekom ek die mense hier op my erf gehad het is omdat die Stad Kaapstad nie die mense wil gehelp het om vir hulle grond of behuising te gee nie.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonica Lategan, woordvoerder vir die Stad se ramprisikobestuur, het die brand bevestig.” ‘n Brand in Sir Lowry’s Pass het vyf strukture vernietig en 30 mense ont\u00adheem,” voer sy aan.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lategan s\u00ea op Kersdag was daar ook ‘n brand in Imizamo Yethu in Houtbaai, waar 25 strukture afgebrand het en 80 mense sonder ‘n heenkome gelaat het, terwyl agt strukture in Blikkiesdorp, Delft, ook deur ‘n brand verwoes is en 44 mense dakloos gelaat het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
