Die gemeenskap en lede van politieke partye, burgerregte-organisasies en gemeenskapsaktiviste gaan Donderdag, 17 November, \u2019n griefskrif aan die Dawid Kruiper-munisipaliteit in Upington oorhandig om hul ontevredenheid oor omstrede besluite en swak bestuur van munisipale ontspanningsoorde te lug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hulle eis ook dat hulle in raadsbesluite oor ontspanningsgeriewe geken word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Die volg op die raad se besluit om die vervalle Die Eiland-vakansieoord aan \u2019n privaat onderneming te verhuur sonder om dit op tender te plaas. <\/p>\n

Intussen wil die munisipaliteit ook Sakkie Spangenberg van Oranjerivier Watersport, wat erf 15747 bekend as Olivierpark reeds 20 jaar by hulle huur, van die grond afsit. <\/p>\n

Spangenberg bedryf die Sakkie se Arkie-toeristeboot op die Oranjerivier en \u2019n piekniekterrein daarlangs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Volgens een inwoner is Die Eiland in die geheim aan iemand verhuur sonder dat die gemeenskap daarin geken is. \u201cOns vermoed ? kader met politieke bande het die huurkontrak gekry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die inwoner wil naamloos bly uit vrees vir viktimisasie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hulle is moeg vir swak dienslewering en alles wat ten gronde gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie sypaadjies, middelmanne en parke veral, om nie eens van ontspanningsoorde te praat nie, vergaan. Die Bloudakke was \u2019n ontspanningsoord met \u2019n swembad en \u2019n trouvenue. Spitskop was ook \u2019n ontspanningsoord met \u2019n swembad. By Reitzpark kon mense uitkamp en swem. Bellevue was \u2019n stadion met \u2019n sokkerveld, tennisbane en swembad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSakkie se Arkie is al wat van di\u00e9 munisipale geriewe oorgebly het en wat inwoners nog kan geniet. \u2019n Mens kan op die boot ry, op die gras ontspan, swem, visvang of \u2019n kano te water laat. Inwoners kom van heinde en ver, sommiges loop kilometers ver soontoe. Upington is van die warmste plekke in die land, ons wil graag swem om af te koel. Die munisipale swembad kan onmoontlik 500 mense veilig akkommodeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNou, op die vooraand van die feesseisoen, wil die munisipaliteit vir Sakkie van die erf afgooi. Waar gaan die inwoners feesvier, want al die ander munisipale oorde is tot niet. Hoekom wil die munisipaliteit Olivierpark verkoop, eerder as om die vervalle oorde aan voornemende huurders of kopers te bied?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die inwoner s\u00ea sommige mense is so deur amptenare en politici ge\u00efndoktrineer dat hulle dink dit is normaal dat munisipale oorde moet vergaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cDie beskuldiging dat Sakkie rassisties is, is van alle waarheid ontbloot. Dit is suur druiwe omdat hy nie harde musiek of swak gedrag toelaat nie, re\u00ebls waarmee ons as wetsgehoorsame burgers saamstem. Sakkie het al verskriklik baie vir die gemeenskap gedoen, en ons is gek oor sy geriewe en diens.\u201d<\/div>\n
Anonieme inwoner<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit gaan oor die beginsel van openbare belang. Ons as die gemeenskap dring aan om te weet wat die munisipaliteit met die oorde beplan, want dit is ons bates en oorde. Hulle moet oop kaarte met ons speel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die inwoner s\u00ea indien Olivierpark aan \u2018n hotelgroep verkoop word soos die gerugte loop, sal net toeriste baat vind en nie inwoners nie. \u201cDit sal \u2019n uiters betreurenswaardige situasie wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intussen s\u00ea die DA hulle het verlede Vrydag die besluit teengestaan waarin \u2019n huurkontrak van die Die Eiland deur die ANC-meerderheid goedgekeur is. German Gewers, DA-raadslid s\u00ea die besluit is deurgedruk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit kom \u2018n week nadat die raad die munisipale bestuurder en die burgemeester toestemming gegee het om \u2019n privaat huurder te soek, ondanks belangstelling van vele aansoekers. Die ANC-raadslede het die groter Upington en die provinsiale gemeenskap die geleentheid onts\u00ea om ook vir \u2019n huurkontrak te bie deur te weier om die tender oop te stel. \u2019n Oop proses sou verseker dat die beste aansoeker die huurkontrak kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie ANC het \u2019n huurkontrak deurgedruk, terwyl fyner besonderhede, insluitend die finansi\u00eble implikasies en termyn, onbekend is. Die kritieke besonderhede sal agter geslote deure deur die tenderkomitee afgehandel word, wat nie in openbare belang is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDieselfde het voorheen met die Gordonia-oord en gaan nou met Sakkie se Arkie gebeur. Die private onderhandelinge vir die huurkontrakte vir ander geriewe wat ook in \u2019n slegte toestand is, was ook onsuksesvol weens die selektiewe toekenning van die huurkontrakte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die DA gaan sy kommer aan die LUR van samewerkende regering en die ouditeur-generaal rapporteer vir verdere ondersoek in die jaarlikse oudit.<\/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. 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)
