Talle munisipaliteite in die Noord-Kaap word versoek om daadwerklik die vullisterreine van die onderskeie dorpe op te knap en die bestuur daarvan te verbeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As deel van sy jaarlikse vullisterrein-oudit, het lede van AfriForum die afgelope maand by talle vullisterreine besoek afgel\u00ea. Dit is deel van die organisasie se nasionale projek om die toestand van die terreine in die land te bepaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kragtens toepaslike wetge\u00adwing en regulasies, waaronder die Wet op Nasionale Om\u00adgewingsbestuur, moet \u2019n vullisterrein aan bepaalde vereistes voldoen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vullis van talle munisi\u00adpaliteite word egter in die Oranjerivier gestort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Werner Strauss, AfriForum se distriksko\u00f6rdineerder vir die Kalahari, s\u00ea die organisasie is in gesprekke met die betrokke munisipaliteite oor die haglike omstandighede van vullis\u00adterreine. Dit sluit die Karoo Hoogland- en die Siyathemba- plaaslike munisipaliteit in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die meeste vullisterreine het nie heinings nie en daar is geen beheer oor wat gestort word nie \u2013 van dierekarkasse tot ou motorbande word daar weggegooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op elke vullisterrein is bewoners wat vure aansteek, wat \u2019n gevaar in die geval van droogte\u00adgeteisterde gebiede inhou. Die voortdurende rook dra ook tot lugbesoedeling by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens \u2019n besoek aan die Oranjerivier by Prieska het \u2019n munisipale werknemer laat hoor dat die Siyathemba-munisipaliteit hom opdrag gegee het om rou riool in die rivier te stort. Hierdie storting is baie nadelig vir die natuur en die plante en visse in die rivier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Springbok wei skape, beeste en varke op die vullis\u00adterrein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie se Springbok-tak het met die Namakwa-munisipaliteit hande gevat om die vullisterrein op te knap. Die tak het \u2019n kompak\u00adteerder gehuur wat die vullis uit die pad gestoot en op vragmotors gelaai het om op die regte plek te gaan stort. Dit was egter net \u2019n tydelike oplossing en die vullis skep weer \u2019n haglike toestand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strauss s\u00ea die vullisterrein by Upington het egter die afgelope jaar \u2019n nuwe baadjie aangetrek met die aankoop van nuwe kompakteerders, die aanstelling van veiligheidswagte wat toegangs\u00adbeheer toepas en \u2019n nuwe heining om die vullisterrein. Hoewel daar nog heelwat probleme bestaan, is die verandering positief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar sal dringend by die vervalle vullisterreine ingetree moet word om verdere skade aan die natuur te voorkom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfriForum sal daadwerklike druk toepas en met die munisipaliteite saamwerk wat wel \u2019n verskil in die Noord-Kaap wil maak deur vullis\u00adterreine reg te ruk,\u201d s\u00ea Strauss. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
