\u2019n Jaar nadat sy in die Melody-woonstelblok in Rhodestraat, Cloetesville, ingetrek het, het herstelwerk uiteindelik begin om die woonstelblok se lekkende dak te vervang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anna-Marree Thomas en haar gesin van vier het verlede Augustus by di\u00e9 munisipale tweeslaapkamerwoonstel ingetrek. Die afgelope maand het Thomas geweier om haar huur vir di\u00e9 woonstel te betaal, gegewe die toestand van die plafon. Met die winter se re\u00ebnweer het die lekkende dak gelei tot re\u00ebnwater in een van die slaapkamers en water wat in die badkamer se plafon opgedam het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie water het afgestroom. Ek moes net keer dat niemand skok nie, dus het ons onmiddellik die krag afgeskakel. Daarna het ons die gloeilamp uitgehaal uit vrees dat ons sal skok,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So erg was die waterskade dat die hele gesin in die ander slaapkamer moes slaap. Die tweede vertrek het intussen \u2019n pakplek geword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die badkamer is die saak nog erger. Hier kon die plafon nie die re\u00ebnwater weerstaan nie en die helfte van die plafon het ingestort. Die gesin het intussen kartonbokse in die dak gedruk om die ergste nat en koue uit te hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thomas meen hoewel die winterweer besig is om te kwyn, moes die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit reeds die plafon herstel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk glo ek het al met almal in die Cloetesville-behuisingskantoor hieroor gepraat. Hulle is vol verskonings. Eers het hulle ges\u00ea daar is geld in die nuwe finansi\u00eble jaar om die woonstelblok se dak te vervang, want dit is die eintlike probleem. Toe s\u00ea hulle omdat dit asbes is, moet die een of ander kundige uitkom om na die dak te kyk, maar dit het ook nog nie gebeur nie. Ek kan nie antwoorde kry oor wanneer die werk nou regtig gaan begin nie,\u201d s\u00ea Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vertel ander inwoners kla oor soortgelyke probleme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By navraag het Stuart Grobbelaar, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit, verduidelik werk om die dak te vervang het Dinsdag begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie woonstel het \u2019n lekkende asbesdak wat met Kliplok vervang moet word. \u2019n Kontrakteur is op 26 Augustus 2024 aangestel. Aangesien dit asbes behels, moet die werk aan streng asbesverminderingsregulasies voldoen en die kontrakteur moet permitte van die departement van arbeid kry vir die veilige verwydering en wegdoening,\u201d verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grobbelaar voeg by Thomas se plafon kon slegs vervang word nadat die werk aan die woonstelblok se dak voltooi is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instandhoudingsklagtes word deur munisipale spanne hanteer, of \u2019n kontrakteur indien nodig, omdat hy verantwoordelik is vir die strukturele herstel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op hul beurt is huurders soos Thomas verantwoordelik vir die instandhouding van die eenhede \u201csoos uiteengesit in hul huurooreenkoms\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vandeesweek is inwoners ingelig dat werk aan die woonstelblokke se dakke sal begin en Thomas s\u00ea sy wag in spanning om te sien wanneer haar woonstel se plafon vervang sal word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
