<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nVolgens La Grange is Cradock die eerste dorp in die Oos-Kaap waarmee African Day kontak maak. Hy het Cradock Gemeenskap geluk gewens met alles wat hulle reeds vermag het met hul waterstelsel, die vullis-stortterrein, opvul van slaggate en algemene opruiming van vullis in die dorp. Hy was ook be\u00efndruk met al die nuwe vullisdromme wat op strategiese plekke geplaas is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Grange s\u00ea as inwoners hul eie dorpe skoonmaak en verfraai sal dit oorspoel na buurdorpe wat dan weer toeriste sal aanmoedig om Suid-Afrika te besoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom was Coligny die eerste dorp waarby Africa Day betrokke geraak het. Die dorp se infrastruktuur was volgens hom tot niet, rommel het in die strate gel\u00ea en moord, opstande en brande was aan die orde van die dag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat hulle al die inwoners aangemoedig het om die dorpie skoon te maak, het almal saamgewerk en hou hulle nou vol met die proses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is nie die politici wat dit doen nie, maar inwoners self. Ons kan die politici kritiseer vir hul laksheid maar mens kry baie meer verrig as jy hulle samewerking kan kry,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens La Grange is dit ook belangrik dat die onderskeie woonbuurte se mense moet saamwerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit help ook vir werkloosheid en as jou dorp nie mooi en netjies is nie, sal niemand dit wil besoek nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCradock behoort aan sy inwoners en julle is die mense wat verandering moet bewerkstellig. As elkeen voor sy eie deur skoonmaak sal dit al baie help,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lou Venter, sakeman van Cradock het \u2019n paar maande gelede die selfoongroep, Cradock Gemeenskap, gevorm in \u2019n poging om die verval van Cradock se infrastruktuur te stuit. Hy word goed ondersteun en die inwoners op die groep lewer reeds \u2019n groot aandeel in die opheffing van hul geliefde Karoodorp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
