Paarl Post<\/em> het vandeesweek by Korabie se kantoor gaan draai om te reflekteer op van die hoogtepunte sedert hy die burgemeesterstoel ingeneem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKorabie het die leisels in April by Conrad Poole oorgeneem, wat in \u2019n wantrouemosie deur die raad verwyder is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was juis die omstredenheid rakende Poole se termyn en bewerings dat sy burgemeesterskomitee vir poste moes betaal, wat verdere druk op Korabie geplaas het om die raad se naam in ere te herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar was in daardie stadium \u2019n algemene verwagting van die publiek dat hy \u2019n splinternuwe burgemeesterskomitee sou aanstel nadat die bewerings dat Poole hierdie skema uit sy komitee bedryf het, nooit behoorlik ondersoek is nie \u2013 soveel so dat daar toe nooit weer sprake van die bewerings in enige raadsvergadering n\u00e1 Poole se verwydering was nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Korabie het vandeesweek ges\u00ea hy was altyd bewus van die belangrikheid daarvan om \u2019n nuwe era van leierskap vir die Drakenstein se bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verwydering van Poole se burgemeesterskomitee sou volgens hom egter in daardie stadium nie \u2019n wyse politieke besluit wees nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnthou, ons het \u2019n verkiesing op 29 Mei gehad. Ons moes stabiliteit binne die munisipaliteit handhaaf om onsself op die verkiesing voor te berei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit sou onwys wees om kort voor \u2019n verkiesing self onstabiliteit te skep binne \u2019n munisipaliteit waar die raad reeds verdeeld is. Die aanstelling van \u2019n nuwe komitee sou ook net tot \u2019n klomp vrae gelei het, en in daardie stadium was daar nie tyd om dit te beantwoord nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook benadruk dat die bestaande burgemeesterskomitee \u2019n ervare groep was en daar nie tyd is om nuwe lede op te lei in die aanloop tot die plaaslike verkiesing in 2026 nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy het omtrent nege maande nodig om \u2019n nuwe mayco <\/em>op te lei. Hier het ons gesit met mense met institusionele kennis,\u201d het hy sy besluit verdedig.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOor die verskeie weerverwante krisisse wat die munisipaliteit sedert die begin vanjaar getref het, het Korabie ges\u00ea \u201cdit het tyd geword\u201d dat die munisipaliteit gaan herbesin oor hoe hy hom vir noodtoestande voorberei. Hy en ander munisipale amptenare was op 9 Julie in die nagtelike ure op die wal van \u2019n plaasdam naby Newton wat weens die swaar neerslae begin oorstroom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Besluit moes inderhaas geneem word om Newton te ontruim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kon voel hoe die dam se wal onder my voete vibreer. Ek moes in daardie oomblik \u2019n besluit neem om die verlies van lewe te voorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHoewel die dam op private eiendom is, is die veiligheid van ons inwoners \u2019n verantwoordelikheid van die munisipaliteit. Ons het toe spesialiste ingekry en die departement van water en sanitasie is ook betrek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die dam is intussen veilig verklaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Korabie het benadruk dat hierdie natuur-verwante krisisse nuwe perspektief gegee het vir \u2019n hersiene noodplan wat hy hoop om eersdaags finaal goed te keur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afvalbestuur en onwettige vullisstorting is \u2019n ander pertinente kwessie wat Paarl Post <\/em>aan die burgemeester geopper het.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKorabie het erken die munisipaliteit ervaar verskeie uitdagings in hierdie verband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDele van Drakenstein is vuil en morsig. Ek maak geen geheim daarvan nie en is nie skaam om dit te noem nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns blameer die inwoners vir hoekom die omgewing so lyk, maar wat doen ons om te voorkom dat hulle vullis oral stort?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWaar het jy gehoor jy sit \u2019n vullishoop in die middel van \u2019n woonbuurt? Wat dink jy van die mense wat daar woon?\u201d het hy gevra toe hy verwys na afvalbestuur by die munisipale woonstelle in Paarl-Oos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Korabie het ges\u00ea hy is in \u2019n stryd om hierdie \u201cvullishope\u201d met \u2019n meer doeltreffende alternatief te vervang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs ek daai vullishope vat en dit in die middel van Val de Vie gaan sit, kan jy dink watter bohaai dit sou veroorsaak? Hoekom is dit dan reg om dit in Chicago te doen?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het verder benadruk dat hy in samewerking met die stadsbestuurder wil herbesin oor waar EPWP-werkers ontplooi word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor die kwessie van haweloosheid het Korabie ges\u00ea hy is reeds in gesprek met Jaco Londt, die Wes-Kaapse LUR vir maatskaplike ontwikkeling, oor die bestuur van die Night Haven-nagskuiling vir haweloses in die Paarl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie skuiling word deur die provinsie bestuur. Haweloses van ander plekke word daar opgeneem en n\u00e1 30 dae beland hulle op ons strate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is iets wat ek wil oplos. Hier is dus baie haweloses in ons strate wat nie eens van die omgewing is nie. Dis \u2019n ernstige gesprek wat ek met die LUR wil voer,\u201d het Korabie ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy gaan dit vir die res van sy termyn \u2019n prioriteit maak om te hou by die beloftes wat uiteengesit is in die begroting en ge\u00efntegreerde ontwikkelingsplan vir die 2024-\u201925- boekjaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarby sal hy ook sy burgemeesterskomitee aanspreeklik hou deur maandelikse verslae oor hul werk aan die raad te lewer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
