Die eienaar van die plaas waarop Kamfersdam is, is hoogs ontsteld en raadop omdat die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit aanhou om onverwerkte rioolwater van die wanfunksionele Homevale-aanleg na Kamfersdam te pomp, wat die plaas stuk vir stuk verswelg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is \u2019n ramp,\u201d meen die eienaar wat daagliks sien hoe die watervlak styg en hoe dit die grondoppervlak inneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie water weerskante van die hoofpad en hoofspoorlyn styg daagliks. Een van die dae gaan \u2019n trein in die water beland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die eienaar, wat nie ge\u00efdentifiseer wil word nie, het al talle prokureursbriewe na die munisipaliteit gestuur, wat onbeantwoord bly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGeen amptenaar was al vanjaar hier om te kyk wat die omvang van die probleem is nie. Hulle stel net nie belang om die probleem op te los nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benewens dat die wild se weiveld verswelg word, vrek bome en grasse waaraan die wild moet vreet. Vreemde sade ontkiem en uitheemse plante kom op. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cDie grond is besmet en dit sal miljoene kos om dit te rehabiliteer.\u201d<\/div>\n
Eienaar van grond<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die eienaar s\u00ea benewens rou riool, vloei daar ook bloed, stukke bloed en dierehuide van die nabygele\u00eb slagplaas in Kamfersdam weens die munisipaliteit se onklaar pompe en lekkende pypleiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie dam, wat eintlik \u2019n seisoenale dro\u00eb pan is, was nog nooit so vol nie. Daar is slegs enkele flaminke oor, want die water is te diep vir hulle om aan die groen alge te vreet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intussen word die N12-hoofroete na Johannesburg ook bedreig, asook die spoorlyn tussen Johannesburg en Kaapstad. Die spoorlyn na Postmasburg is lankal in onbruik weens die oorspoelde spoorlyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het nou die Menseregtekommissie (MRK) genader. Iets moet gedoen word om die probleem op te los.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In die beginjare van die Homevale-rioolaanleg is gesuiwerde, bruikbare afvalwater in Kamfersdam gepomp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is deur re\u00ebnwater aangevul. Nou is dit te besmet om bruikbaar te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie diere op die plaas drink nie aan die water nie, want dit is ooglopend besmet. Die water het \u2019n ho\u00eb soutinhoud. Met die besoedeling is die water heeltemal onbruikbaar. Muskiete en ander plae kan in die watermassa uitbroei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die MRK het bevestig dat hy die rioolprobleme in en om die stad ondersoek en met die owerhede in gesprek is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besmet met E.coli<\/div>\n
AfriForum het onlangs toetse gedoen en bevind dat die watergehalte swak en met E.coli-bakterie\u00eb besmet is.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thoko Riet, munisipale woordvoerder, s\u00ea die aanleg is gevandaliseer en daarom werk sekere meganiese komponente nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie water in Kamfersdam is van aanvaarbare standaard. Ons sal moontlik die plaaseienaar gaan spreek, maar die water in Kamfersdam is van aanvaarbare gehalte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province.

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
