Kimberley gaan in die afsienbare toekoms met ‘n botaniese tuin spog. Di\u00e9 botaniese tuin wat op die terrein van die Oppenheimer-tuine gevestig gaan word, sal na verwagting deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Biodiversiteitsinstituut (SANBI) geakkrediteer word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens beplanning sal di\u00e9 botaniese tuin vir uitstallings, boekklub-byeenkomste, vertonings in ‘n opelugteater, asook musiekuitvoerings, oop wees. Dit word in samewerking met die Sol Plaatje-universiteit <\/a>(SPU) in die Noord-Kaapse hoofstad gedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Voorstelling van die Oppenheimer-tuine, met die nuwe veeldoelige saal wat deur die Sol Plaatje-universiteit gebou word, in die voorgrond. In die agtergrond aan die regterkant is die William Humphreys-kunsgalery en regs van dit die Noord-Kaap Teater. Die 14-verdieping Harry Oppenheimer-gebou, wat ook aan die universiteit behoort, is nie hier sigbaar nie, maar is ook aangrensend aan die tuine. Die hele tuingebied is intussen omhein. Grafika: Verskaf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die tuin sal daagliks, en soos bepaal deur die SPU en in lyn met die universiteit se visie, vir die publiek vir besoeke oop wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kashini Maistry, direkteur van institusionele bevordering en van die kantoor van die vise-kanselier, s\u00ea die botaniese tuin sal ook as ‘n opeluglaboratorium vir akademici en studente van die fakulteit natuur- en toegepaste wetenskap dien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuine eens middelpunt van kulturele aktiwiteite<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Die Oppenheimer-tuine is gele\u00eb in ‘n deel van Kimberley wat eens die middelpunt van kulturele aktiwiteite was. Dit is aangrensend aan die William Humphreys-kunsgalery <\/a>en die Noord-Kaap Teater. Dit was eens ‘n fokuspunt vir pieknieks, met fotosessies in die roostuin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twee bekende bakens in die tuin is die Delwersfontein, ook as die Diggers’ Memorial Fountain bekend, en die borsbeeld van Sir Ernest Oppenheimer. Op ‘n tydstip is ‘n deel van die voormalige Gariep-kunstefees hier aangebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die tuine het oor die jare weens ‘n gebrek aan instandhouding, asook vandalisme, verval. Die delwersif wat die vyf lewensgrootte beelde van die mynwerkers, as deel van die Delwersfontein, vasgehou het, is gesteel. Een beeld is gevandaliseer<\/a>, en is verwyder. Wat eens ‘n besondere fontein was, het tot ‘n seeroog verval. Die borsbeeld van Oppenheimer is gesteel, en toe vervang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vroeg in 2022 het NoordkaapBulletin<\/em> berig van beweerde drank- en dwelmmisbruik wat in die tuine plaasvind. Besoekers aan die kunsgalery, teater en ook die hooggeregshof het van ‘n “misdadige atmosfeer” vertel. Regslui wat soms in die aande en oor naweke bestrede aansoeke in die hof moes doen, het ges\u00ea dit is weens wetsoortredings wat in die tuine plaasvind, onveilig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universiteit blaas lewe in Kimberley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Maistry s\u00ea in April 2021 reeds het samesprekings tussen die SPU en die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit begin rakende die koop van die tuine deur die universiteit. Vroeg in 2022 is besware teen die verkoop van die tuine deur lede van die publiek geopper. N\u00e1 uitgerekte samesprekings is die verkoop van die tuine, vanaf die munisipaliteit na die universiteit, in September 2023 afgehandel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2023 het De Beers die 14-verdieping Harry Oppenheimer-gebou aan die SPU geskenk<\/a>. Di\u00e9 gebou is ook aanliggend aan di\u00e9 tuine. In Februarie 2024 het die SPU eienaarskap van die tuine verkry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedertdien het die SPU begin om ‘n groot veeldoelige saal op ‘n punt van die terrein te bou, en die hele tuin is omhein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Maistry het die oprigting van die universiteit in Kimberley weer lewe in ‘n deel van ‘n sterwende middestad geblaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Terwyl die SPU moderne infrastruktuur en werksgeleenthede bied en die ekonomie versterk, word moeite gedoen om met die omliggende gemeenskappe te skakel en inklusiwiteit te bevorder, wat die gang van sosiale interaksies in die stad verander het,” s\u00ea Maistry.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voorbereiding vir botaniese tuin aan die gang<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Die projek van die universiteit wat tot op hede die meeste emosie wek, is juis di\u00e9 een om die tuine te laat herleef. Dit is deur Harry Oppenheimer gevestig om die lewe van sy pa, Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, te herdenk. Sir Oppenheimer was die stigter van Anglo American en ‘n voormalige burgemeester van die stad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die tuine is in Desember 1961 geopen en het ‘n deel van die terrein van die ou Maleise kamp<\/a> in beslag geneem. Die kamp was deel van stedelike ruimtes wat uit die vroe\u00eb mynboudae van Kimberley ontwikkel het. Toe De Beers, eenmalige eienaars van die grond, die kamp in 1939 aan die stad geskenk het, was dit op voorwaarde dat “krotbuurtopruiming” gedoen word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Groot hoeveelheid werk moet nog plaasvind voordat die tuine met ‘n nuwe voorkoms gaan spog. Maistry s\u00ea dit sal tydelik gesluit wees. Infrastruktuurverbeterings vind plaas, onder meer die koppeling van veiligheidkameras, WiFi, beligting, besproeiing en pomphuise ter voorbereiding van die vestiging van die botaniese tuin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/a50765c21ef3c45c021aae194bd0c185","name":"Helena Barnard","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Helena Barnard"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/helena-barnard\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/492240879_1092845382877713_8299448338670721682_n.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":45103,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/richtersveld-oorgrenspark-spog-met-unieke-kwekery-botaniese-tuin-20241009\/","url_meta":{"origin":264114,"position":0},"title":"Richtersveld-oorgrenspark spog met unieke kwekery, botaniese tuin","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"20 December 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"Die botaniese tuin, met kwekery, wat in die Richtersveld-oorgrenspark geopen is, is daarop gemik om unieke inheemse plante te bewaar.","rel":"","context":"In "Community"","block_context":{"text":"Community","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/community\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a9cac62cf68144f6add888f8e2aca6ac.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a9cac62cf68144f6add888f8e2aca6ac.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a9cac62cf68144f6add888f8e2aca6ac.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a9cac62cf68144f6add888f8e2aca6ac.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a9cac62cf68144f6add888f8e2aca6ac.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a9cac62cf68144f6add888f8e2aca6ac.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]}],"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"Noordkaap Bulletin","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264114"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=264114"},{"taxonomy":"publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication?post=264114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
