Sonder die nodige beskerming, word rioolwerkers daagliks blootgestel aan \u2019n groot aantal hoogs aansteeklike siektes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het aanleiding gegee tot stakings in onder meer Middelburg, Tarkastad en Elliot wat vanaf Maandag, 6 Augustus vir twee weke opgeskort is, op voorwaarde dat werkers binne 14 dae van die nodige klerasie voorsien sal word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Venske is die benarde situasie nie \u2019n onlangse krisis nie, maar wel een wat op \u2019n daaglikse basis in erns toeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens die Mid-Karoo Express <\/i>se besigtigingstoer is gesien hoe rou riool tot teen woonhuismure loop en kinders met kaalvoetjies wat tussenin speel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar word steeds nuwe huise in Lusaka gebou, terwyl die huidige rioolafvoersisteem reeds nie die druk kan hanteer nie,\u201d s\u00ea Venske. D\u00edt is ooglopend: dik strome riool vloei in die Brakrivier af, op pad na die Visrivier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ook op Cradock is dit die stand van sake, met afvoerpype wat letterlik oorborrel in die Visrivier in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Groot bron van kommer is dat groot-skaalse besproeiing gedoen word uit die Vis-river en die Visrivier-kanomarathon vind ook eersdaags hier plaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op Mid-Karoo Express<\/i> se vraag of daar dan nie fondse is nie, was Venske se antwoord dat daar w\u00e9l genoegsame fondse is, maar dat dit nie behoorlik gekanaliseer en aangewend word nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea amptenare verswyg boonop die ware toedrag van sake tydens raadsvergaderings, sodat \u2019n vals beeld van die ware situasie voorgehou word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is net g\u00e9\u00e9n beplanning of bestuur nie,\u201d s\u00ea Venske. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGroot dele van Tarkastad sit nou sonder drinkwater as gevolg van die stakings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDesperate inwoners van die ses CHDM-munisipale gebiede bel my heeldag lank. Wat my betref, is die oorname van die water- en sanitasiedienste deur CHDM \u2019n epiese mislukking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDrastiese ingryping en \u2019n stapsgewyse plan is \u00e1l wat di\u00e9 situasie kan beredder. Ons sit met \u2019n reusagtige gesondheidsrisiko. Daar is letterlik g\u00e9\u00e9n voorraad in die munisipale store om onderhoud aan die waterinfrastruktuur mee te doen nie, bloot omdat die verskaffingsketting nie bestuur word nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Mid-Karoo Express<\/i> wou by Bulelane Lucando, bestuurder van tegniese dienste by CHDM, weet wat gedoen gaan word aan die rou riool wat uit alle oorde in die Visrivier instroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucando was egter nie bewus van enige rou rioolprobleme nie, buiten een punt wat lek as gevolg van twee stukkende pompe by die hoofstasie, wat glo die afgelope Maandag herstel sou word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar met Mid-Karoo Express <\/i>se besoek aan di\u00e9 punt, was daar egter geen aksie te bespeur nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intussen word nie net die Visrivier besoedel nie, maar ook alle grondwater oos van die Brakrivier, en derhalwe kan besmetting van \u2019n gebied soos Midros se drinkwater nie met sekerheid uitgesluit word nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
