Dat \u201cbasies niks\u201d in Warrenton aangaan om die waterkrisis van meer as drie maande in die Noord-Kaapse dorp reg langs die Vaalrivier op te los nie, is die grootste besef waartoe Marie Sukers, ACDP-LP in die Nasionale Vergadering, tydens haar onaangekondigde oorsigbesoek op Woensdag 24 Mei gekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sukers is deur gemeenskapslede om hulp genader en haar besoek aan die wateraanleg, asook aan die konstruksiewerk van \u2019n \u201cdringende en spoedige oplossing\u201d om water tydelik aan inwoners te verskaf, het talle raadslede van die Magareng-munisipaliteit onkant betrap en humeure laat opvlam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die nagenoeg 25 000 inwoners van Warrenton-dorp, Warrenvale en Ikhutseng is reeds sedert einde Februarie sonder lopende water nadat ongeveer 30 m van die 500 mm-hoofwatertoevoerpyp in die Vaalrivier tydens die vloed beskadig is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedertdien is na bewering reeds meer as R5,5 miljoen bestee om die watertoevoer \u201ctydelik\u201d en ook \u201cpermanent en meer volhoubaar\u201d te herstel. Di\u00e9 geld is deur Cogsta toegestaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die tydelike plan wat volgens die munisipaliteit vroeg in Mei voltooi sou wees, is steeds nie afgehandel nie, en inwoners twyfel oor die volhoubaarheid van die permanente plan en of dit enigsins binne die beloofde vier maande voltooi sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met die uitbreek van cholera in onder meer Parys in die Vrystaat, waarlangs die Vaalrivier strek, is inwoners boonop bekommerd oor die suiwerheid en gehalte van die water wat sporadies deur watertenkers aan hulle verskaf word. Die water word glo nie behoorlik by die wateraanleg filtreer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaar prosesse is nou ge-bypass. Ek sal reken ons kry net so 30% gesuiwerde water,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n gemeenskapsleier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wag vir die watertenkwaens is iets wat inwoners teen nou goed ken, want soms moet hulle tot drie weke wag voor een in hul buurt aandoen terwyl sekere inwoners voorkeur kry. Boonop moet hulle gereeld hoor dat di\u00e9 voertuie \u201cstukkend\u201d is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit gaan alles oor wie is wie, en wie werk waar,\u201d vertel \u2019n inwoner van Ikhutseng wat s\u00ea dat familielede en vriende van munisipale amptenare voorkeur met watervoorsiening kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het dit al telkens onder die burgemeester en raadslede se aandag gebring, maar hulle sleep net voete,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cEk is gegrief oor die munisipaliteit. Hier is so baie ou mense en gestremdes wat nie kan gaan water haal nie. Hulle koop hulle dood aan water.\u201d<\/div>\n

Die nuwe watertenk, wat deur \u2018n besigheid buite Warrenton geskenk is, is nog nooit met water gevul nie omdat die watertenker nooit lank genoeg hier stilhou of genoeg water het om dit te vul nie. <\/div>\n
Foto: Helena Barnard <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Bejaarde inwoner vertel dat sy skaars R5 ekstra het om water te koop, en wanneer sy wel \u2019n paar rand ekstra het, moet sy ander boonop betaal om vir haar water by die naaste winkel te koop omdat sy nie die houer self kan dra nie. En met R5 se water kom jy nie ver nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inwoners van Warrenvale en Ikhutseng word hierdeur genoodsaak om die besige N12 te kruis na hetsy \u2019n naaste boorgat of die Vaalrivier. Weens die uitgestrektheid van die woonbuurtes moet van hulle etlike kilometer per voet afl\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWanneer jy water in die rivier gaan skep, moet jy nog met die kleintjies ook loop,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n ma van kleuters. \u2019n Paar weke gelede is \u2019n ouma en haar kleinkind op die N12 raakgery toe hulle op pad was om water te gaan haal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diegene wat wel vervoer het, kan water by die aanleg aan die anderkant van die dorp, en oorkant die rivier gaan haal. Daarvoor moet hulle die N12 en die N18 kruis, en ook \u2019n slegte stuk grondpad ry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog \u2019n inwoner vertel dat sy en haar seun albei velkanker het en die son moet vermy. Hulle moet egter gereeld ver ente in die son stap om water te kry. Haar man is verlam in die een arm en kan nie die waterkanne help dra nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Ander een vertel dat haar kinders maagaandoenings kry van die water wat deur die watertenkwaens aangery word, en dat haar vel daarvan begin afskilfer. Inwoners is dit eens dat die water soms erg na huishoudelike ontsmettingsmiddel ruik en proe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSoms word die mense wat so lank vir water wag, met kospakkies gepaai. Net soos wat hulle voor volgende jaar se verkiesing met kospakkies en T-hemde gepaai gaan word,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n inwoner van Ikhutseng. Hy s\u00ea die vloed het \u2019n nuwe waterkrisis na Warrenton gebring, maar voor dit was die waterverskaffingsituasie in die dorp ook beroerd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Oplossings\u2019 staan steeds stil<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWaar is al die miljoene wat hier geplant is,\u201d het Sukers Woensdag tydens haar oorsiginspeksie gevra en bygevoeg dat volgens wat sy hoor, die Magareng-munisipaliteit nog geld aangevra het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die kontrakteur wat vir die \u201cdringende en spoedige\u201d herstel van die tydelike plan vir watervoorsiening aangestel is, het glo verlede week weens nie-betaling onttrek. Die munisipaliteit wou dit nie bevestig of ontken nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens \u2019n skrywe van die munisipaliteit het di\u00e9 kontrakteur op 26 April opdrag gekry om met die tydelike oplossing te begin. Pype hiervoor sou binne sewe dae vanaf die datum afgelewer word en dan sou dit nog \u201cdrie tot vyf dae tot inwerkstelling neem\u201d, is geskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die pype is afgelewer, maar tydens die oorsigbesoek het een pyp skuins in die rivier gel\u00ea, een binne-in die rivier, en \u2019n kabel of twee langs die rivier. Geen kontrakteur was teen laatoggend op die perseel nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Nuwe waterpyp halfpad in die rivier, en nog een in die water, was Woensdagoggend 24 Mei bykans die enigste teken dat \u2019n kontrakteur iewers betrokke is om \u2019n tydelike oplossing vir die waterkrisis te bewerkstellig. Geen kontrakteur was tydens die besoek op die terrein nie. <\/div>\n
Foto: Helena Barnard <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die werk aan die \u201cpermanente en meer volhoubare oplossing\u201d vir watervoorsiening staan skynbaar ook stil. Behalwe draagklampe wat aan die N18-Magrieta Prinsloo-laagwaterbrug geheg is, het niks o\u00ebnskynlik sedert vroeg Mei hier gebeur nie. Die draagklampe is aan die brug geheg vir die nuwe hoofwatertoevoerpyp vanaf die wateraanleg na die dorp. Die ou glasveselpyp wat in die Februarie-vloed beskadig is, strek deur die rivier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemeenskapsleiers is egter van mening dat die pyp aan die verkeerde kant van die brug opgesit word, en s\u00ea met \u2019n volgende vloed gaan klippe en boomstompe die pyp beskadig. Die boomstompe en takke wat sedert die vloed teen die laagwaterbrug vasdruk, aan die kant waar die nuwe pyp geheg moet word, staaf hul bekommernis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Niks gebeur hier nie\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Met Sukers, die gemeenskapsleiers en media se aankoms by die wateraanleg, waaraan sedert 2020 glo nagenoeg R86 mijoen bestee is, is sy hardhandig deur \u2019n man \u2013 glo \u2019n veiligheidswag \u2013 rondgeruk. Sukers se man, Johnathin, ACDP-leier in die Noord-Kaap, is ook deur die persoon gedreig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel Sukers haarself meer as een maal identifiseer het, en verduidelik het dat sy as LP onaangekondigde oorsigbesoeke mag afl\u00ea, is toegang steeds geweier. Nog persone, vermoedelik verbonde aan \u2019n kontrakteursmaatskappy, het hul opwagting gemaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e1 \u2019n dringende besoek aan die kantore van die Magareng-munisipaliteit en \u2019n gesprek met Thapelo Jacobs van die munisipaliteit, is toegang uiteindelik verleen. Die besoekgroep was skaars deur die hek toe hulle weer voorgekeer is omdat hulle nie veiligheidshelms dra nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sukers het die persone op die perseel gevra om veiligheidshelms te verskaf \u201caangesien hulle die kontrakteurs is\u201d, maar hulle kon dit nie verskaf nie. Toegang is daarna \u201cop eie risiko\u201d verleen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hier het Sukers besef dat behalwe die persone wat die toe hek bewaak, en ongeveer drie wat besig is om \u2019n watertenker te vul, geen bou-aktiwiteite op die perseel aangaan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWarrenton is Suid-Afrika in die kleine \u2013 dit was ons hier ervaar is in die meerderheid van die munisipaliteite. Die munisipaliteite is disfunksioneel en wanneer iets soos \u2019n vloed gebeur, raak dit \u2019n humanit\u00eare krisis, Kiesers stem vir mense wat geen baas eens sal aanstel nie.\u201d<\/div>\n
Marie Sukers, ACPD-LP<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHier is \u2019n leierskapprobleem, en plaaslike regering is brood-en-botter-sake. Geen toegang tot water is \u2019n ernstige skending van menseregte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie probleem is ons speel politiek met basiese menseregte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHierdie is \u2019n wake-up call. As ons nie nou die sisteem regkry nie, gaan daar \u2019n inploffing in die land wees,\u201d s\u00ea Sukers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intussen, volgens plasings op die Facebook-blad van die Magareng-munisipaliteit, is raadslede besig met \u201cpublic consultative meetings throughout its six wards\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierop skryf \u2019n inwoner van Ikhutseng in sy kommentaar: \u201cI see the public consultations and I think right now all the focus, time and energy will be better served on the restoration of water. All the masses want right now is water in their taps. Everything else and all the consultations are not of any significance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
