Die kwaadwillige beskadiging van begraafplase is deesdae in baie dorpe aan die orde van die dag. Dit is skokkend en onaanvaarbaar, maar \u2019n verwaarloosde begraafplaas is net eenvoudig hartseer, want dit wys dat inwoners \u00f3f weggetrek het \u00f3f eenvoudig nie omgee oor hul geliefdes se laaste rusplek nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myddleton se begraafplaas, wat aan die St. Michael & All Angels-Anglikaanse kerk behoort, is erg verwaarloos en oorgroei, maar gelukkig nie gevandaliseer nie. Wat bemoedigend is, is dat \u2019n daadwerklike poging aangewend word om di\u00e9 begraafplaas weer skoon en netjies te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roderick Carelse, kapelvoog van St. Michael & All Angels, s\u00ea: \u201cOns is besig om die onkruid en indringerplante te verwyder en om die grafte \u2019n bietjie op te kikker. Ons het by die voorste nuwe gedeelte begin, maar het nog heelwat werk om te doen \u2013 veral in die ou gedeelte agter, wat heeltemal vol is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is geen omheining nie en in plaas daarvan om mure rondom die begraafplaas te bou of draad te span, wat in elk geval net gesteel sal word, dink ons daaraan om walle rondom te gooi,\u201d s\u00ea Carelse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carelse s\u00ea verder: \u201cOns wil dit onder die gemeente se aandag bring dat ons dit so skoon as moontlik moet hou, want op die oomblik is dit regtig erg verwaarloos. Baie mense se families woon nie meer in Myddleton nie, maar van hulle kom darem so af en toe \u2019n draai maak en vra dat ons help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns vra dat die gemeenskap na vore kom. Ons glo as elke familie wat \u2019n geliefde daar het, net die grafte rondom ook in stand hou, dit baie beter sal gaan om die res van die begraafplaas skoon te hou. Dit is \u2019n boodskap wat ons gedurig uitstuur. Sommiges slaan ag daarop, maar party families worry<\/i> ook net nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carelse het ook ges\u00ea hy is dankbaar vir die TWK-munisipaliteit se hulp, wat \u2019n EPWP-span daar het, wat \u2019n groot bydrae lewer om die begraafplaas skoon te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christo Willemse, een van die EPWP-werkers, s\u00ea: \u201cEk is van Myddleton en dit voel goed om te sien hoe ons met die skoonmaak vorder. Party mense kom prys ons elke nou en dan oor die werk wat ons doen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens Hermanus Times<\/i> se besoek aan die begraafplaas het Michael Jackson, wat baie jare in Somerset-Wes gewoon en gewerk het, maar nou weer in Myddleton woon, gewapen met \u2019n snoeisk\u00ear en ander tuingereedskap daar opgedaag om sy oorlede ma, Vera Jackson, se graf skoon te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was \u2019n paar maande gelede hier en dit het erg gelyk, met lang gras en onkruid. Ek was nou baie verbaas om dit so mooi skoon te sien. Ek wou juis die graf kom skoonmaak vir Moedersdag. Hier woon baie mense, en die gemeenskap moet meer betrokke raak,\u201d s\u00ea Jackson. \u201cAs elkeen sy kant bring en \u2019n handjie bysit, kan dit weer \u2019n mooi begraafplaas wees waarop ons trots kan wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
