Dit is ironies dat Kimberley, wat op 2 September 1882 die eerste stad in die suidelike halfrond geword het om elektriese straatligte in werking te stel, se strate snags nou in duisternis gehul is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is dit nie die gloeilampe wat buite werking is nie (of wat bedags skyn en snags nie werk nie), is dit diefstal van elektriese kabels wat daartoe bydra. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of een van die gewilde vryetyd-aktiwiteite in Kimberley: Die omry van straatligpale. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met W\u00eareld Stededag <\/a>op Vrydag 31 Oktober probeer ‘n mens om di\u00e9 enigste stad in die Noord-Kaap met die tema van die dag vereenselwig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 tema fokus op hoe datagedrewe besluitneming, tegnologie en kunsmatige intelligensie (KI) gebruik kan word om stedelike lewe te verbeter en om probleem-areas aan te spreek. Dit voel ligjare verwyder van wat in Kimberley beleef word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besluitneming (wat nog te s\u00ea datagedrewe besluitneming) oor die oprig van verkeershobbels op die vreemdste liggings is onder verdenking, so ook die verf van padstrepe wat binne twee weke nie meer sigbaar is nie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of die oprigting van nuwe watermeters wat ‘n tweejarige sal kan omskop. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van stede gepraat, Kaapstad is in 2025 in twee verskillende opnames in topposisies van w\u00eareldklasbestemmings geplaas. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaapstad is weens sy unieke kombinasie van natuurskoon, geskiedenis en dinge te doen uitgesonder. Opnames is deur Time Out en The Telegraph<\/em> onderskeidelik in Januarie en Julie uitgereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit is maklik om bekoor te raak deur di\u00e9 stad met sy unieke ritme, klank, atmosfeer, en ‘n fees vir die o\u00eb omdat die estetiese nog se\u00ebvier. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tog wil ‘n mens vir Kimberley opkom. Die omliggende natuurskoon is uniek, sonsondergange betowerend mooi. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die stad is ryk aan geskiedenis en sou Kamfersdam – die stad se grootste “riooldam” – anders aangewend en bestuur word, kon ‘n mens dalk laatmiddag langs die pan stap of op ‘n sondek sit en oor die duisende flaminke waarmee die stad (deesdae verkeerdelik) vereenselwig word, uitkyk.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEES OOK:<\/strong> Sol Plaatje \u2018onverskillig, nalatig\u2019 met rioolbesoedeling van Kamfersdam<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boonop, in watter ander stad kry jy koelte- \u00e9n onderdakparkering by winkelsentrums sonder om te betaal? Of kan jy binne 15 minute van een punt van die stad na die ander ry?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Mens kan hoop dat Kimberley nie reeds te veel letsels opgedoen het nie, en dat tere liefdevolle versorging (en datagedrewe besluitneming, tegnologie en KI) dit weer ‘n sprankelstad maak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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.
