Dit was \u2019n droewige naweek vir uit\u00adstal\u00adlers van die Hermanus Country Market (HCM) en inwoners van die Overberg toe die HCM glo op die nippertjie gehoor het hulle kan nie meer voortgaan om handel te dryf nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op Facebook en WhatsApp het dit gegons oor die \u201conetiese manier\u201d hoe die Overstrand-munisipaliteit (OM) glo sake doen. \u201cVan die uitstallers het reeds kos voorberei vir Saterdag, nou moet hulle \u2019n dag voor die tyd hoor hulle mag nie hul produkte verkoop nie,\u201d het \u2019n WhatsApp-gebruiker ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vroeg in Februarie het 625 belasting\u00adbetalers na die munisipaliteit opgeruk om hul misnoe\u00eb uit te spreek oor die probleme en moontlike sluiting van die mark (Hermanus Times<\/em>, 8 Februarie 2023, \u201cPlan om gewilde HCM te red\u201d). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Op di\u00e9 vergadering het die OM-burgemeester, dr. Annelie Rabie, dit duidelik gemaak dat sy nie die HCM wil sluit nie en dat die OM en die HCM kan hande vat om daarvan \u2019n sukses te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Daar is ook ges\u00ea die OM en HCM moet n\u00e1 drie maande weer bymekaar kom om die situasie te bespreek. Die rede vir die sluiting van HCM was onder meer dat hulle onwettig handel dryf op die perseel van die Hermanus-sportklub aangesien hul strukture nie aan die munisipale regu\u00adlasies voldoen nie, daar geen brandveilig\u00adheid\u00adserti\u00adfikate is nie, daar geen ontrui\u00admings\u00adplan is nie en dit ook \u2019n kopseer vir versekering is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die OM het dit ook duidelik gestel dat hy geen huurooreenkoms met die HCM het nie, maar net met die Hermanus-sportklub en dat die ooreenkoms tussen die OM en die Hermanus-sportklub is dat daar blykbaar sportgeriewe en \u2019n rekreasiesentrum op die grond aangebring moet word. Die huuroor\u00adeenkoms tussen die OM en Hermanus-sportklub is geldig vir 45 jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar wat die uitstallers en die eie\u00adnaars van die HCM onthuts laat, is die feit dat die munisipaliteit glo nie by sy tydlyn gehou het soos ooreengekom is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het \u2019n brief van Anja le Roux van die munisipaliteit gekry wat gelui het dat ons laaste Saterdag wat ons kan handel dryf die Saterdag van die Paasnaweek was,\u201d het Michael Bayer, eienaar van HCM, Saterdag op \u2019n openbare vergadering ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns was dadelik op ons hoede en op \u2019n vergadering met die burgemeester en die munisipale bestuurder het ons aan hulle dokumenta\u00adsie deurgegee van ons planne en \u2019n brief vir terugvoering. Volgens my was dit \u2019n suksesvolle vergadering en wag ons steeds vir terugvoering van die munisipaliteit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bayer s\u00ea ook hulle doen alles in hul vermo\u00eb om by die tydlyn te hou en die probleme wat hulle het op te los. \u201cNie net het ons konsultante aangestel om ons met die probleme te help nie, maar ons het ook met die Hermanus-sport\u00adklub onderhandel oor \u2019n huurooreen\u00adkoms en hulle kommentaar was dat die munisi\u00adpaliteit hulle aanges\u00ea het om nie die huurkontrak met ons aan te gaan nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens die OM het hulle dit duidelik op die vergadering wat op 6 Februarie gehou is, gestel dat wette nie verander kan word nie en dat hulle moet hande vat sodat die HCM met sy werksaam\u00adhede kan voortgaan. Daar is ook vol\u00adgens die persverklaring \u2019n komitee op die been gebring wat bestaan uit lede van die OM, HCM en die Hermanus-sportklub. Die komitee het al vier vergaderings gehou om die toekoms van die HCM te verseker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTwee en \u2019n half maande later is daar steeds geen motiverende aansoek ingedien oor die onderverhuring van die perseel nie asook nie planne van die strukture en die tent sodat dit aan die bouregulasies voldoen nie. Verder word daar sonder die nodige lisensie alkohol op die perseel verkoop,\u201d het OM se persverklaring gelui. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is ook duidelik dat die HCM nie wil saamwerk nie. Daar is ooreengekom dat daar 60 uitstallers kan wees, maar die HCM het uit ongeveer 120 uitstallers bestaan. Dit is ook met skok dat die OM op sosiale media verneem het dat die HCM op 14 April gehoor het hulle kan nie verder handel dryf nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaar is \u2019n brief op 30 Maart uitgereik oor die stand van sake en nie soos die HCM dit wil te kenne gee nie,\u201d het die persverklaring gelui. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dit was \u2019n droewige naweek vir
