\u201cDaar is niks meer wat kan brand nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So het Uitkyk-landgoed bestuurder, Rudi Buys, vanoggend aan Eikestadnuus ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die plaas is een van verskeie landgoede wat skade gely het as gevolg van die brand op Simonsberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het so 30 of 40 hektaar se plaasgrond verloor en so 300 hektaar berg- en kloof grond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns fokus is nou om alles wat nog smeul reg te maak en te kyk hoe ons ons bure kan help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buys glo nie die brand sal weer by Uitkyk opvlam nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die brand op Simonsberg is nog nie onder beheer nie, maar daar is geen onmiddelike gevaar vir enige eiendom of lewens nie s\u00ea Ian Ross van die Kaapse Wynlande-distriksmunisipaliteit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Ross grondspanne en voertuie tans besig om te brand bestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helikopters staan gereed om waterbomme te gooi waar nodig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die omtrek van die brand se skade sedert dit Dinsdag begin het, is 1 400 hektaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wind maak dit steeds moeiliker om te keer dat die brand versprei en die Suidooster is vermoedelik besig om die vuur by die berg af te jaag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie boere en bestuurders het gisteraand weer deur die nag gewerk om die vlamme weg van hul wingerde te hou en was nie vanoggend beskikbaar vir kommentaar nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hier is \u2018n kort opsomming van die skade by sommige landgoede in die omgewing van die brand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tokara: Wingerde is relatief onbeskadig gelaat, meer skade aan die woud om die landgoed. Nie bekommerd dat die vuur sal opvlam nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delheim: Geringe skade aan wingerd, fokus op brand weg van wingerde hou veral met Oesfees wat hierdie naweek daar plaasvind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Backsberg: Geen skade aan wingerde, hoofsaaklik aan woud om landgoed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Babylonstoren: Geringe skade aan wingerde bo in die berg, verder beperk tot verlies aan bosse en bome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
