Nie ‘n hoofstraat waarin maande se konstruksiewerk plaasvind, of ‘n rivier wat sy walle oorstroom en erge vloedskade<\/a> in die dorp veroorsaak het, het Bloemhof-inwoners verhoed om ni\u00e9 vir die Kw\u00eala Dorp van die Jaar-kompetisie in te skryf nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 dorp teen die Vaalrivier is op Sondagaand 3 Augustus as wenner in di\u00e9 gewilde kompetisie aangewys. Bloemhof is veral bekend vir sy hengelkompetisies <\/a>van w\u00eareldstandaard wat by die Bloemhofdam aangebied word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Vir ons is dit simbolies dat die son weer nuut oor die dorp skyn,”vertel Daleen Steyn, projekleier van Bloemhof se Dorp van die Jaar-veldtog. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het op 7 Maart ‘n logo, wat die son oor die dam uitbeeld, op die nuutgeskepte Facebook-blad Bloemhof Dorp en Dam – Bloemhof Town and Dam<\/a> geplaas. Di\u00e9 Facebook-blad sou gebruik word “as ‘n positiewe ruimte om die omgewing van Bloemhof te geniet” en ook om inligting oor die kompetisie bekend te maak. Benoemings vir die kompetisie het op 14 Maart gesluit, en daardie oggend het Steyn per toeval ‘n foto van die sonsopkoms, regoor die brug by die Bloemhofdam, geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel Bloemhof in die Noordwes-provinsie gele\u00eb is, is di\u00e9 dorp in die verspreidingsgebied van NoordkaapBulletin<\/em>. Foto: Daleen Steyn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

”Dit was vir my simbolies dat ons voluit vir die kompetisie gaan,” s\u00ea sy, en ook dat sy vanaf 14 Maart ‘n ”stille vrede” gehad het dat Bloemhof gaan wen.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongeag daarvan dat die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Padagentskap (Sanral) die N12 deur die dorp, wat ook die hoofstraat is, herbou, of dat die Vaalrivier vroe\u00ebr vanjaar twee maal erge vloedskade in die dorp veroorsaak het, het die veldtog volstoom voortgegaan. ‘n ”Rimpelspan”, wat elk soos ‘n klippie ‘n rimpeling op water veroorsaak, is saamgestel. Enkele aksies het ‘n reeks rimpels veroorsaak en dit is deur die hele gemeenskap versprei. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Skielik is daar ‘n beweging, ‘n gevoel van saamhorigheid en ‘n positiewe verandering wat almal raak,” skryf Steyn op die Facebook-blad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volhoubaarheid van Bloemhof-besigheidsplan be\u00efndruk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Met die aanwys van die wenner <\/a>het Waldimar Pelser, direkteur van kykNet se premiumkanale, vertel dat die volhoubaarheid van die planne oor ‘n langtermyn wat deur die Bloemhof-span ingeskryf is, hom be\u00efndruk het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Dit is geweldig inspirerend,” s\u00ea hy oor di\u00e9 dorp se gedetailleerde besigheidsplan, terwyl Maryke Haywoord, bemarkingsbestuurder van Lottoland, s\u00ea dit is wonderlik hoe mense weer eienaarskap van hul dorpe neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behalwe ‘n groot makietie wat vir inwoners wag, ontvang Bloemhof R1miljoen prysgeld van Lottoland en ‘n verdere R1miljoen lugtyd van kykNET. Die prysgeld moet volgens vaste riglyne tot voordeel van die dorp bestee word, met die opknapping en verfraaiing van die hoofstraat een van die projekte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\/08\/Bloemhof-Daleen-Steyn-2-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":263338,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/hengeldorp-staan-op-uit-vloedwater-heropbou-poging-maak-verskil\/","url_meta":{"origin":268195,"position":0},"title":"‘Hengeldorp’ staan op uit vloedwater, heropbou-poging maak verskil","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"30 May 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Bloemhof, bekend as 'n hengeldorp, is besig om op te staan n\u00e1 die skade van die vloed vroe\u00ebr vanjaar.
