Rubberkoe\u00ebls, traangas, noodroepe op sosiale media en gerugte dat die N2 toegemaak sal word, was verlede week aan die orde van die dag na ontstelde huiseienaars van Knoflokskraal uitsetting in die gesig gestaar het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lede van die Grabouw-Khoisan-raad (GKR) was erg onthuts nadat owerhede verlede Dinsdag strukture afgebreek het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit voel of geskiedenis homself herhaal. Verlede jaar, ook omtrent di\u00e9 tyd, het ons uitsettings in die gesig gestaar en nou weer. Maar di\u00e9 keer was die owerhede vir my meer gewelddadig, van ons lede is omgery en traangas en rubberkoe\u00ebls is gebruik om ons uitmekaar te dwing,\u201d het \u2019n ontstelde inwoner van Knoflokskraal, wat anoniem wil bly, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens AO Joseph Swartbooi, \u2019n provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, was die eenheid van openbare orde verlede Dinsdag en Woensdag op die toneel en het die polisie minimum mag ingespan om orde te herstel nadat die gemeenskapslede hulle tot geweld gewend het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gemeenskap ontken egter dat hulle gewelddadig opgetree het en volgens hulle was die betoging vreedsaam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video\u2019s op sosiale media skilder egter \u2019n ander prentjie. Video\u2019s het die ronde gedoen waar gemeenskapslede die polisie onder klippe steek en selfs dreig om plase in die omtrek aan die brand te steek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ander video\u2019s wys weer hoe die polisie mense se selfone wil konfiskeer en die omstanders met rubberkoe\u00ebls en traangas onder beheer wil kry. Selfs \u2019n joernalis van Netwerk24 <\/i>is toegang tot Knoflokskraal geweier. Hooggeregshofbevel<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 uitsettings kom nadat die nasionale departement van openbare werke en infrastruktuur, wat die eiendom besit, verlede jaar \u2019n hofbevel gekry het wat die GKR verbied om nuwe strukture op te rig en aan die departement die reg gee om onbewoonde strukture af te breek. Die GKR beset al sedert November 2020 die grond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samesprekings tussen die departement en die regspan van die GKR het ook verlede Dinsdag by die Wes-Kaapse hooggeregshof geskied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie saak is uitgestel en ons vergader in die week saam met die departement en die vereniging wat uit die aangrensende boere bestaan om planne daar te stel om die probleme op te los,\u201d het een van die bestuurslede ges\u00ea.Aangrensende boere <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die boere in die omgewing het ook saamgestaan om hul grond te beskerm en regshulp teenoor die GKR ingewin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gerugte doen die ronde dat van die boere onder misdaad deurloop vandat die Knoflokskraal-saga sy gang gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het ook gehoor dat van die boere al hul eie sekerheidsmaatskappye aangestel het om hul eiendom te beskerm en ander boere het selfs \u2019n sloot gegrawe om \u2018ongewenste elemente\u2019 van hul plaas af te hou,\u201d het nog \u2019n bron bevestig.Inwoners<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens een van die bestuurslede van GKR is daar tans meer as 1 500 strukture opgerig. Van die huiseienaars en Khoisan-lede van Grabouw sien egter rooi aangesien di\u00e9 spesifieke grond vir Khoisan-lede van Grabouw bedoel is, maar nou is daar lede van ander dorpe en streke wat glo vir hulle \u2019n \u201ctweede huis\u201d by Knoflokskraal aanskaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n probleem, want die ander Khoisan-organisasies het by die \u2018agterdeur\u2019 ingekom en ook vir hul eiendom hier kom toe-eien. Ons is in die proses om met hulle ook te kommunikeer om \u2019n goue middeweg te kry,\u201d het een van die bestuurslede ges\u00ea.TWK-munisipaliteit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die TWK het by monde van sy burgemeester, Kallie Papier, sy steun aan die Khoisan-mense gegee. \u201cVir te lank het ons \u2019n ander pad gekyk en nie die mense van Knoflokskraal ondersteun nie. Dis daardie mense wat vir ons gestem het,\u201d het Papier ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns gaan die gemeenskapslede van Knoflokskraal bystaan deur vir hulle raad te gee rakende hul situasie. Aan die einde van die dag kan ons hulle net ondersteun. Ons sal \u2019n volle assessering oor Knofloks doen, ons kan nie die situasie bestuur of beheer nie en dit is net \u2019n kwessie van tyd voordat dit die TWK se probleem gaan word, dus moet ons maar nou ingryp,\u201d het Papier ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
