Gesie van Deventer, die uitvoerende burgemeester van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit, het Maandag (18 Julie) haar Mandeladag gevier deur haar oor \u2019n gesin van Klapmuts, wat al hul besittings in \u2019n brand verloor het, te ontferm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk doen hierdie nie in die hoedanigheid as die burgemeester of as \u2019n DA-lid nie, maar as Gesie, die gewone inwoner. Dit is my persoonlike bydrae tot Mandeladag, maar ook aan \u2019n gesin wat dit nodig het,\u201d het Van Deventer ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Deventer het soos enige gewone mens haar hand in eie sak gesteek, in \u2019n ry by die winkel gaan staan en kruideniersware vir die gesin van drie gaan koop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wou nie spesiale behandeling ontvang nie. Ek wou nie iemand stuur om dit vir my te doen nie \u2013 ek wou dit self doen, want dit is waaroor Mandeladag regtig gaan. Mandeladag is \u2019n dag van omgee. Madiba het ons geleer om mense te dien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gesin van drie (die 49-jarige ma en twee kinders) het al hul besittings verloor toe hul opslaanhuis by Alexanderstraat 13, waar hulle gewoon het, voorverlede Sondag aan die brand geslaan het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Leonie Marang, \u2019n tante van die gesin, het die brand Sondag 10 Julie omstreeks 18:40 uitgebreek. \u201cGelukkig was niemand van hulle in die huis nie. Die kinders was hier [langsaan] by my toe dit begin brand het. Hulle ma was by \u2019n vriendin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorsaak van die brand is onbekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Enigeen wat die gesin met skenkings vir klere, boumateriaal of enigiets anders kan bystaan, kan Leonie Marang by 061 879 0880 bel. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gesie
