In Hermanus Times<\/i> van 7 September 2022 (\u201cKen jou dorp: Denzil Jacobs\u201d) is berig oor raadslid Denzil Jacobs, die Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit (TWK) se eerste gestremde raadslid, en oor hoe hy met ywer sy werk in \u2019n rolstoel verrig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Jaar later, Dinsdag 19 September, het die TWK-burgemeester, Mary Liebenberg, en die TWK- munisipale bestuurder, Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, \u2019n spesiaal aangepaste voertuig vir Jacobs se gebruik bekend gestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By die bekendstelling het Solomons-Johannes ges\u00ea almal se uitdagings moet in ag geneem word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRaadslid Jacobs doen wonderlike werk in sy gemeenskap en ons het gevoel ons moet hom bystaan. Ons het \u2019n versoek aan minister Anton Bredell gerig vir \u2019n aangepaste voertuig. Die versoek is toegestaan, mits dit binne die begroting bly,\u201d s\u00ea Solomons-Johannes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die aflewering van die voertuig is aanvanklik vertraag, want \u2019n gespesialiseerde bedryfsmeganisme \u2013 die eerste van sy soort in die land \u2013 moes ingevoer word. Jacobs sal nie self die motor bestuur nie, maar kan in sy rolstoel met \u2019n oprit tot agter in die paneelwa ry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die burgemeester het genoem dit is vir haar \u2019n eer en \u2019n voorreg om die motor aan een van die hardwerkendste mense wat sy al te\u00ebgekom het, te oorhandig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs het aan Hermanus Times<\/i> ges\u00ea: \u201cDit was \u2019n moeilike reis tot dusver, want ek moes op my eie in my rolstoel beweeg en was afhanklik van ander om my by vergaderings ensovoorts te kry en om my in en uit motors te tel. Ek glo ek sal nou meer dinge bereik \u2013 nie net in my wyk in Grabouw nie, maar in die hele TWK waar ek nou na verskillende dorpe kan ry om te sien wat die behoeftes van gestremdes is. Ek is baie bly dat die raad \u2019n verskil kan maak en dat mense kan sien mense met gestremdhede word nou ingesluit. Maar bo alles wil ek dankie s\u00ea aan ons Hemelse Vader. Ons moet nooit vergeet wat die Here kan doen nie,\u201d s\u00ea Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die TWK het by dieselfde geleentheid ook verskeie nuwe voertuie gekry, wat twee bakkies, \u2019n watertenkwa, \u2019n kersieplukkervragmotor en \u2019n kompakteerder ingesluit het. Die kompakteerder is deur die departement van landbou, bosbou en visserye aan die TWK geskenk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
