Nadat meer as 5 000 hektaar se plantegroei afgebrand is en inwoners gevrees het vir hul veiligheid en of hul huise deur die Kleinmond-brand geraak kon word, is dit nodig om die mense te bedank wat gehelp het om die brand te bestry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Annelie Rabie, die uitvoerende burgemeester van die Overstrand-munisipaliteit (OM), wat sedert 8 Januarie daagliks op die grond saam met die brandbestryders was en opgetree het as \u2019n middelman tussen die brandbestryders en die media, s\u00ea dit was \u2019n gesamentlike poging deur verskeie organisasies om die brand te bestry en talle lewens te red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns bedank die groot aantal mense wat ons ondersteun het,\u201d s\u00ea Rabie. Die laaste grondspanne het die dorp Donderdag (13 Januarie) verlaat en net Overstrand se brandweer is agtergelaat om alles dop te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Magdom mense was betrokke. Die brand het oor verskeie departemente se grond gestrek. Dit het by die plantasie in Highlands ontstaan, wat ni\u00e9 die Overstrand-munisipaliteit se grond is nie. Dit het later versprei na grond wat ons (die OM) besit asook grond wat aan die Overberg-distriksmunisipaliteit (ODM) en Cape Nature behoort. Omdat die brande nie enkelvoudig deur een agentskap hanteer kan word nie, vereis dit samewerking van \u2019n klomp mense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grant Cohen, die speaker van die Overstrand-munisipaliteit, s\u00ea dit het hom verbaas om te sien hoe almal soos een saamgestaan het. \u201cDie brandweer\u00adbeamptes is volgens my van die bestes in die land. Dit was merkwaardig om te sien hoe hulle ons omgewing en mense beskerm. Hulle is ons ware helde,\u201d s\u00ea Cohen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rabie het op tegniese vlak haar eie (OM) se brand- en wetstoepassings-kapasiteite bedank. \u201cEk wil ook die ODM, Stad Kaapstad se provinsiale rampbestuursentrum, Wildfire Services, EMS, Working on Fire, HARSA, Enviro Wildfire Services, Overberg Wildfire Volunteers, goFPA, NCC en die groot groep private grondeienaars wat na die beskerming van hul eie grondgebied omgesien het, bedank.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ook die Kleinmond-polisie en die provinsiale verkeer bedank, wat die R44 en R43 op verskillende tye vir verkeer moes sluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk bedank ook al die hordes gewone individue soos Philipa Myddelton, Carolyn Martin, Barry van Vuuren, Burgundy\u2019s Restaurant en Spur se mense. Die sakeondernemings van Kleinmond en Hermanus het absoluut agter ons mense gestaan. Dis ongelooflik hoe almal ons ondersteun het. Meer as 180 mense se name is op \u2019n lys en ander mense het skenkings gegee, maar wil nie hul name genoem h\u00ea nie. Ek is baie nederig wanneer ek almal opreg bedank,\u201d s\u00ea Rabie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ook die inwoners bedank wat na hul bure en hul bure se diere omgesien het. \u201cBure het uitgekom en mekaar ondersteun. Dit was \u2019n baie goeie oefenlopie oor hoe dit kan wees as ons besluit hierdie is \u2019n Overstrand vir almal. Baie dankie aan \u2019n ieder en \u2019n elk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rabie het ook bevestig dat Enviro Wildfire Services \u2019n ondersoek doen om vas te stel hoe die brand ontstaan het. \u201cOns sal die uitslae bekend maak sodra Enviro klaar is met hul ondersoek.\u201d.<\/span> Om die brandweer te bedank, hou die Kleinmond-gholfklub Vrydag 28 Januarie \u2019n vierbal-gholfkompetisie waarna alle geld aan die brandbestryders geskenk gaan word. \u2019n Veiling sal ook op die dag gehou word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Suur e-pos na kleinmondbookings @gmail.com vir nog inligting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nadat meer as 5 000 hektaar se
