As dit nie so ontsettend moeilik was om soms tot twee weke sonder water te moet klaarkom nie, sou hulle kon lag oor elke nuwe verskoning wat gegee word wanneer Ritchie alweer nie water het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00f3 vertel inwoners van Ritchie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 nedersetting 40 km van Kimberley af bestaan uit \u2019n hoewegedeelte, asook die Motswedimosa- en Ritchvale-woonbuurt, en is deel van die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inwoners van al die buurte ly wanneer die krane droog is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAl wat ek wil h\u00ea, is water. Water vir myself, my bokke, my honde, my groentetuin en vir die gras vir my diere. Raadslede moet daarom nie vir my s\u00ea ek moet water by die kafee gaan koop nie,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n inwoner wat soos die meeste ander verkies om anoniem te bly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMet die onlangse \u00adonderbreking in watertoevoer van byna twee weke het ek die eerste keer in twee jaar \u2019n watertrok in hierdie deel van Ritchie gesien,\u201d s\u00ea die inwoner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u2019n Inwoner van Ritchvale vertel: \u201cOns het vir twee weke vrek dors gely. Ek het mense gesien waar die dorste ingetree het.\u201d Gewoonlik wanneer die \u201cson so styf staan\u201d het hulle nie water nie, s\u00ea hy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Tuinwerker s\u00ea hy het tydens di\u00e9 tydperk \u2019n 5 liter-bottel met water by sy werkgewer gekry. Terwyl hy huis toe gestap het, het die kinders al agter hom aangeloop en vir \u2019n glasie water gebedel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel watertrokke uit Kimberley tydens onder\u00adbrekings in watertoevoer belowe word, \u201cvat hy sy tyd\u201d. Daag die trokke wel op, is die water vuil, s\u00ea hulle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNet so rou soos die water uit die rivier kom, so kry ons dit in die krane,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n vrou, en verduidelik dat die modderafsaksel in \u2019n emmer sommer die hele bodem \u201cdiep toel\u00ea\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy is moedeloos wanneer sy vra: \u201cHoe was jy wasgoed met sulke water? Hoe maak jy kos met dit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog \u2019n man s\u00ea die vuil water laat hulle mae \u201csny en pyn\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boonop is daar gewoonlik \u2019n bakleiery by die watertenks omdat al die tenks nie water kry nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDi\u00e9 wat die water bring, gee net vir die mense wat hulle ken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Inwoner van Rietvale s\u00ea wanneer hy soms van die werk af kom, moet hy noodgedwonge water uit die Rietrivier gaan skep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaar die water is vuil en die rivier is ver,\u201d s\u00ea hy. Dit is vir hom onaangenaam om met die vuil water te moet was, of om \u201ctaamlik ongewas\u201d die volgende dag weer werk toe te moet gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die spoeltoilette en toilet\u00adbehoeftes is ook \u2019n groot gemors wanneer die water af is, s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanneer die water wel aan is, is die waterdruk swak, s\u00ea \u2019n bejaarde inwoner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miljoene se \u2018upgrade\u2019 help nie<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie nuwe waterreservoir help net mooi niks. Dit staan daar vir die mooiheid. Dit is glo R36 miljoen se upgrade<\/span>,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2020 het NoordkaapBulletin<\/span> berig dat die waterprobleme van toe glo merendeels plaasgevind het omdat die reservoir, in daardie tyd ongeveer vyf jaar gelede opgerig, nie voldoende is om aan die aanvraag te voorsien nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Onderneming is in 2020 deur die munisipaliteit gegee dat nog \u2019n reservoir opgerig sal word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die aanvang van di\u00e9 oprigting was toe onbekend, en in Februarie 2022 is dit steeds net \u2019n gedagte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit alles terwyl toegang tot water \u2019n basiese reg is,\u201d s\u00ea die man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Einde Januarie was waterpompe wat in die Rietrivier verspoel weens die vloed, as \u2019n rede vir die wateronderbrekings gegee en dat die polisieduikers weens die gevaarlike omstandighede in die rivier nie kon duik en rondom die pompe skoonmaak nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Inwoner skryf op 27 Januarie op \u2019n WhatsApp-groep dat die rivier gereeld in vloed is en elke keer is dit dieselfde gemors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cDaar moes lankal \u2019n plan gemaak geword het. Vandag is \u2019n jaar terug wat Ritchie die vreeslike storm gehad het, toe het Sol (Plaatje-munisipaliteit) en rampbestuur baie beloftes gemaak. Niks is gedoen nie.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Teen 29 Januarie is die gesoek na \u2019n geskikte klamp wat die druk tussen die pomp en die pyp kan hanteer, as rede aangevoer. Toe was die inwoners reeds vir vyf dae sonder water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vullis gaan veld toe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vullisverwydering is ook steeds \u2019n gemors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit is glo veronderstel om een maal in twee weke te gebeur, maar meestal staan dit tot \u2019n maand oor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c \u2019n Mens weet nooit wanneer hulle gaan opdaag om vullis te verwyder nie. En die sakke kan nie onbepaald buite staan nie, want dit word deur sakkrappers en honde oopgeskeur,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n vrou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Inwoner van Ritchvale vertel dat hulle maar die vuilgoed in die veld weggooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWat moet ons daarmee doen as dit nie opgelaai word nie? Ek weet nie wanneer laas ek \u2019n vuilgoedwa gesien het nie,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongeag daarvan dat elkeen wat \u2019n munisipale rekening het, maandeliks vir die leegpomp van dreine moet betaal, gebeur dit glo ook selde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy ons is dit nou al twee maande dat hier niemand was nie,\u201d s\u00ea een. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEn as die dreinlorrie in die omgewing is, help julle jou net as jy hulle iets in die hand stop. Dit terwyl ons reeds daarvoor betaal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die inwoner beweer dat die vragmotor wat die dreine pomp, veral op Sondae sigbaar is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDan ry hulle hier op en af vir dubbeltyd,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Ander inwoner s\u00ea dat hy al \u2019n private kontrakteur gekry het om die drein op sy erf leeg te pomp, teen \u2019n gemiddelde koste van R600 tot R800. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Net die volgende dag was die drein weer vol weens \u2019n varswaterlekplek van die munisipaliteit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 waterlekplek het hy reeds op 13 Desember aangemeld, met \u2019n verwysingsnommer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boonop vind kragonderbrekings vir tot meer as 24 uur op een slag gereeld plaas, wat glo \u2019n Eskom-verwante probleem is. Wanneer dit gebeur, kan selfs di\u00e9 met watertenks en pompe nie water pomp nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cRitchie is \u2019n nagmerrie. Ek bly al twee jaar hier en dit is loshande die swakste plek waar ek nog gebly het,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sello Matsie, woordvoerder van die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit, s\u00ea daar is talle oorsake vir onderbrekings in watertoevoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngelukkig is diefstal en vandalisme van ons infrastruktuur in Ritchie op industri\u00eble vlak. Die gemeenskap moet deel in die poging om die situasie by die waterpompstasie en die onttrekkingspunte te stop,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matsie s\u00ea voorts dat die munisipaliteit kennis neem van die ander kwessies waaroor navrae gerig is, en dat dit met die onderskeie afdelings bespreek sal word. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
