Plaaslike ondernemings ly ook onder die krisis omdat klante oor rioolwater moet loop om aankope te doen. “Dit affekteer my verkope, want mense wil nie staan en wag vir hul goed in hierdie reuk nie,” s\u00ea Galeema Strauss, wat vis en tjips uit haar huis in Petunialaan verkoop.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gesondheidsimpak bekommer inwoners egter die meeste. Gavin James, wat saam met sy suster se drie kinders in die gebied bly, s\u00ea die rioolstortings veroorsaak dat die kinders maagprobleme opdoen.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons kinders raak siek en ons moet hulle aanhoudend kliniek toe neem,” het hy verduidelik.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die krisis raak veral kwesbares soos bejaardes erg. Strauss se ma is rolstoelgebonde en die hele familie het volgens haar diarree opgedoen weens die gesondheidsrisiko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie toenemende gesondheids- en lewensgehalte-krisis het inwoners genoop om hulp te soek, maar hulle beweer die Stad Kaapstad se reaksie is onvoldoende.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners s\u00ea hulle het die probleme talle kere by die Stad aangemeld, maar slegs tydelike oplossings gekry. “Hulle kom uit en pomp ‘n bietjie, maar m\u00f4re is dit dieselfde probleem,” s\u00ea Jakobs.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog meer frustrerend vir inwoners is wat hulle beweer ‘n gebrek aan kommunikasie van Wyk 100 se raadslid, Sean Stacey, is. “As ons die probleem by hom aanmeld, hoor ons nooit weer van hom nie,” beweer inwoners.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As gevolg van hierdie gebrek aan amptelike hulp het inwoners hulself georganiseer deur ‘n WhatsApp-groep waar gemeenskapsleiers in Broadlandspark klagtes hanteer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kumulatiewe impak van jare se onopgeloste probleme, gepaard met wat inwoners as ‘n gebrek aan waardigheid in die Stad se reaksie beskou, het ‘n gevoel van vervreemding geskep.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons is mos nie diere nie!” s\u00ea James, wat die frustrasie van baie inwoners verwoord.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simons gaan verder en s\u00ea die gemeenskap noem Petuniastraat ‘n “k**-pad” \u2013 ‘n teken van hoe diep die vernedering strek. “Dis onmenslik en ons is mense met waarde wat hier in Broadlandspark bly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Francine Higham, die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsdienste en gesondheid, s\u00ea egter hulle is nie van ‘n toename in gevalle van watergedraagde siektes bewus nie, maar beveel aan dat inwoners wat simptome ervaar die naaste gesondheidsorgfasiliteit besoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stacey ontken die bewerings teen hom en voel dis onregverdig. Hy s\u00ea almal weet hy het ‘n “oopdeurbeleid wat kommunikasie betref”. Hy verwys na onlangse rioolverstoppings wat Vrydag 23 Januarie onder sy aandag gebring is, en Sondag 25 Januarie ondersoek is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zahid Badroodien, die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir water en sanitasie, erken die Stad is van die probleem bewus en skryf rioolverstoppings toe aan “vreemde voorwerpe in die rioolstelsel” sowel as ‘n rioolineenstorting wat ontdek is terwyl sand uit die netwerk verwyder is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Tans is daar ‘n ineenstorting in ‘n gedeelte van die rioolnetwerk. Dit is gevind terwyl spanne besig was om oormatige hoeveelhede sand uit die netwerk te verwyder,” verduidelik Badroodien.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die Stad het oor 12 maande 107 diensversoeke vir Broadlandspark ontvang en neem “enige rioolstorting uiters ernstig op”. Die Stad is besig om noodkontrakteurs vir herstelwerk te betrek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
