Gemeenskapslede van Strand het Sondag (12 Junie) voor die Suiderstrand-biblioteek bymekaargekom weens hul misnoe\u00eb oor die gemeenskapsbaken, wat weens \u2019n verwoestende brand tot niet gegaan het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die samekoms is deur die gemeenskapsaktivis Cheslyn Benn gere\u00ebl sodat gemeenskapslede wat die verlies van die vier dekade oue baken ly, byeen kon kom vir \u2019n bespreking oor wat die toekoms inhou en wat van die raad verwag word om die biblioteek tot sy eertydse glorie te herbou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 42-jarige biblioteek in Laer Gordonsbaaiweg is op Saterdag 27 Februarie verlede jaar vermoedelik weens brandstigting deur vlamme verswelg (\u201cGeskiedenis, nie net boeke, vernietig,\u201d DistriksPos<\/i>, 4 Maart 2021). Die voorval het in die vroe\u00eb oggendure plaasgevind en brandweerdienste is n\u00e1 \u2019n noodoproep om 05:37 ontplooi. Die verwoestende brand is die eerste voorval in onlangse jare waarin \u2019n stadsbiblioteek heeltemal vernietig is. Strukturele deskundiges het die Stad Kaapstad aanbeveel om die verkoolde oorblyfsels van die gebou, wat eens die Suiderstrand-biblioteek gehuisves het, te sloop (\u201cSlopingsvoorstel vir biblioteek,\u201d 7 Oktober 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gemeenskap ly steeds \u2019n jaar later onder die verlies van die biblioteek waarheen talle jeugdiges oor die jare hul toevlug geneem het en wat selfs as naskoolsentrum gedien het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Benn het inwoners nie altyd geld om \u2019n taxi te haal of die tyd om saam met hul kinders na die naaste biblioteek in Piet Retiefstraat te stap of die een in Gordonsbaai te besoek nie. \u201cOns kinders is besig om agter te raak. Hier is nie \u2019n plek waar kinders take op rekenaars kan kom doen nie. Hier is nie \u2019n biblioteek waar ons kinders kan kom leer en lees nie. Ons kinders het al die afgelope twee jaar \u2019n agterstand sedert die biblioteek afgebrand het,\u201d kla Benn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns as gemeenskap moet nou besluit wat ons volgende gaan doen. Die biblioteek in Lwandle gaan opgeknap word. Ek dink daardie geld moet eerder gebruik word om ons biblioteek weer op te bou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monecia van Boom, wat self \u2019n ma is en met di\u00e9 probleem sit, s\u00ea sy kan nie met haar kind al die pad na Strand of Gordonsbaai se biblioteke reis nie. \u201cOns kort \u2019n biblioteek vir ons kinders in die gemeenskap. Die nood is baie groot. Ek kan self nie altyd \u2019n taxi bekostig nie, en om so ver met my kind saam met my na ander biblioteke te loop, gaan ook nie werk nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Audi Matthys het die raad nooit enige vergaderings met die inwoners oor die herbouing van die biblioteek gehou nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het absoluut geen terugvoering van die munisipaliteit af oor die biblioteek gekry nie. Ons weet nie waarheen is die versekeringsgeld vir die afgebrande biblioteek nie,\u201d s\u00ea Matthys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patricia van der Ross, \u2019n raadslid en burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsdienste en gesondheid, s\u00ea die Stad Kaapstad se biblioteek- en gemeenskapsdienste werk nog aan \u2019n koste-analise vir die rehabilitasie van die Suiderstrand-biblioteek. \u201cDie analise vind tans plaas weens \u2019n versekeringsverwante ondersoek,\u201d s\u00ea Van der Ross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benn, wat almal bedank het vir hul opkoms, het die punt gelug dat die samekoms vreedsaam was. \u201cOns sal weer bymekaarkom, en dan sal ons rolspelers uit die gemeenskap \u2013 insluitend die plaaslike raadslid \u2013 nooi om die vergadering by te woon. Ons wil nou antwoorde oor die biblioteek h\u00ea. Iets moet gebeur, want ons gemeenskap benodig weer \u2019n biblioteek,\u201d meen Benn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
