Permanent opgedamde water op die padoppervlak by \u2019n T-aansluiting in Beaconsfield, Kimberley, veroorsaak dat voetgangers en voertuie met mekaar op sypaadjies vir beweegruimte moet wedywer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nie net moet besoekers aan die winkel op die hoek van Broadway\u00adplek en Kaapstadweg na verkeer op die sypaadjie oplet nie, maar moet inwoners van die woonstelgebou op die ander hoek dieselfde doen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 situasie van water wat permanent op die teeroppervlak bly, word deur vyf stukkende stopkrane in di\u00e9 en omliggende strate veroorsaak en herstelwerk om dit te laat opklaar, sou nie buitengewone kennis of vaardigheid verg nie. Die water het die padoppervlak laat verkrummel en die omliggende oppervlakke in moerasagtige gebiede omskep wat volgens die inwoners \u2019n muskietnes is. Boonop hou die kwakende paddas hulle uit die slaap en is die digte plantegroei huis\u00advesting vir allerlei knaagdiere en slange wat prooi soek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die winkeleienaar s\u00ea die water is permanent daar, en wanneer dit re\u00ebn, stoot dit tot teen sy winkeldeur op. Klante wat by sy winkel uitstap, moet versigtig wees dat hulle nie op die sypaadjie deur voertuie raakgery word nie. Op die hoek is daar \u2019n rioollekkasie, en dit meng met die vars water uit die stopkrane. Kinders speel daarin, en beeste drink dit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit word al van 2011 af aangemeld, s\u00ea Ockert Fourie, DA-raadslid van wyk 25. Hy s\u00ea om die stopkrane te herstel verg nie \u201crocket science\u201d nie en dit kan maklik met die regte gereedskap gedoen word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cDit is onverstaanbaar dat, ongeag die regering se \u2018oorlog teen lekkasies\u2019 en ondanks die feit dat die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit jaarliks sowat 60% van sy water weens lekkasies verloor, die situasie voortduur.\u201d<\/div>\n
Ockert Fourie<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fourie het in 2019 die gebied laat opruim en skoonmaak, maar sedertdien is die stormwatersloot en kanale weer heeltemal deur plantegroei en rommel verstop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns is moeg daarvoor dat Beaconsfield afgeskeep word; moeg om maklik voorkombare en regstelbare munisipale probleme te aanskou,\u201d s\u00ea Fourie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inwoners stem saam dat di\u00e9 woonbuurt, ryk aan geskiedenis, afgeskeep word wanneer dit by dienslewering en polisi\u00ebring kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaconsfield het in \u2019n dwelmnes ontaard, s\u00ea \u2019n inwoner wat verkies om anoniem te bly. Volgens hom is talle polisielede kop in een mus met die dwelmhuise en -handelaars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs jy dit aanmeld, kies hulle jou vrou of gesin as teiken wanneer jy nie daar is nie,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy vertel van die onwettige winkels wat oopmaak wat nie deur die munisipaliteit goedgekeur word nie. Juis di\u00e9 winkeliers is baie keer dwelmhandelaars, meen die inwoner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie munisipaliteit vat nie vir ons kop toe nie,\u201d s\u00ea nog \u2019n inwoner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk is al 19 jaar hier. Mense van Beaconsfield wou al brand uit protes, maar ons het nog altyd gekeer en belowe dit sal beter gaan. Nou lyk ons soos die leuenaars.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens hom is die paaie van die woongebied nog nooit reggemaak vandat hy hier bly nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Ma van jong kinders s\u00ea sy is bekommerd oor die deksels wat van die mangate gesteel is. Die diep en oop gate is deur ho\u00eb plantegroei verberg en sy vrees dat kinders daarin kan val. Sy s\u00ea hoewel die pad voor haar huis soos \u2019n grondpad lyk, was dit altyd \u2019n teerpad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyk net al die gate in die strate. Ons straat het nie so baie gate nie, maar nou jaag die mense hier. Ek vrees vir \u2019n dag . . .\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog \u2019n inwoner s\u00ea in oorgroeide gebiede word mense wat van en na hul huis of werkplek loop, geroof en aangerand. Di\u00e9 gebiede is wegkruip\u00adplek vir misdadigers, en daar is baie straatligte wat nie werk nie, s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHier is nie polisiesigbaarheid nie. Selfs die polisie is bang vir Beaconsfield,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Ander vra waar die werkers van die uitgebreide openbarewerke\u00adprogram (EPWP) is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie EPW\u2019s werk net in die maklike dele van Beaconsfield en maak dieselfde straat of twee oor en oor skoon,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourie het verlede week \u2019n lys met 26 waterlekke in Beaconsfield, Klisserville en die Memorialweg-gebied aan die munisipaliteit oorhandig. Hy wag nog vir die verwysingsnommer vir elkeen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie munisipaliteit maak \u2019n bespotting van raadslede omdat hier geen dienslewering is nie, terwyl inwoners dienslewering deur hul raadslede verwag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Een van die stopkrane wat vir jare reeds vars water in Beaconsfield lek, is op die hoek van Bruntonstraat en Frederickplek. Digte plantegroei verberg boonop \u2019n diep gat waarin kinders kan val en versper motoriste se uitsig. Die water vloei staataf, om die hoek in Broadwayplek, en dam op by die T-aansluiting met Kaapstadweg. <\/div>\n

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
