CapeNature het die bal by die polisie aan die rol gesit om \u2019n strafsaak weens brand\u00adstigting aanhangig te maak nadat \u2019n brand laat Sondagmiddag (4 Februarie) in Bainskloof uitgebreek het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vermoede is die jongste brand het by die nie-amptelike piekniek-plek, Gawie se Water, in Bainskloof ontstaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petro van Rhyn, \u2019n woordvoerder van CapeNature, het bevestig iemand is aangestel om \u2019n ondersoek te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar was ook \u2019n ooggetuie wat \u2019n nommerplaat afgeneem het. Ons het \u2019n klagte aangemeld.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bainskloof is Sondag tydelik gesluit vir verkeer en weer teen Maandagoggend vir motoriste oopgestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Deon Rossouw, vaardigheidsbestuurder van ge\u00efntegreerde opvanggebiede by CapeNature, is hulle omstreeks 16:25 oor die brand in Bainskloof ingelig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die brand het teen Dinsdagoggend (6 Februarie) om 08:00 steeds gewoed. Die omvang van die brand het toe reeds oor 750 hektaar gestrek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Ondersoek is reeds van stapel gestuur en die ondersoekers sal van Woensdag (7 Februarie) af getuieverklarings afneem,\u201d s\u00ea Rossouw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die vraag oor onder wie se jurisdiksie die spesifieke deel van die pas val (waar Gawie se Water is), het Rossouw ges\u00ea die grond is in private besit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is \u2019n padreserwe wat \u2019n mandaat van die provinsiale paaiedepartement (openbare werke) het. Ek weet nie wat die afstand van die middel van die pad is nie, maar ek het gehoor 12 meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het mense in die verlede van Gawie se Water verwyder, maar omdat dit private grond is, weet mense dat ons nie jurisdiksie het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie enigste tyd wanneer ons kan optree, is as mense \u2019n vuur maak of as hulle op ons grond is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brandbestryders het die afgelope paar weke hul hande vol met verskeie brande wat oor die Kaapse Wynland heen aangemeld is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rossouw is van mening dat die uitdagings wat CapeNature se brandbestryders en hul vennote ervaar wanneer brande in sulke ho\u00ebrisikogebiede bestry word, ontwatering, moegheid, risiko van besering en dood insluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElke keer as iemand onwettig \u2019n vuur aansteek en dit raak buite beheer, kos dit \u2019n aansienlike bedrag geld om die brand in bedwang te bring,\u201d voeg hy by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jo-Anne Otto, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit (KWDM), het ook uitgebrei oor die uitdagings wat brandbestryders in die gesig staar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KWDM-brandbestryders het by die Bainskloof-brand hand bygesit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie baie ho\u00eb temperature het twee implikasies gehad. Dit het die grond en plantegroei baie droog en warm gemaak, wat gunstig is vir brande, en het fisieke brandbestryding baie onaangenaam gemaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie bemanningsleiers was op ho\u00eb gereedheid vir tekens van sonsteek, hitte-uitputting en ontwatering onder grondpersoneel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ongelyke, moeilike terrein is ook \u2019n uitdaging. Die meeste van die brande het plaasgevind in gebiede waar die terrein ongelyk was. Dit maak die deurkruising van die gebied moeilik en gevaarlik \u2013 veral in die nag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otto het nog uitdagings uitgewys, soos nie-onderhoude uitheemse plantegroei op private grond en die gebrek aan brandstroke op nie-bewerkbare grond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rossouw doen verder \u2019n ernstige beroep op mense om nie in bergagtige gebiede vuur te maak nie omdat daar \u2019n groot risiko is dat die brand vinnig buite beheer kan raak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense moet hul gesonde verstand gebruik \u2013 dit is hoogsomer en die plantegroei is droog en brand maklik. Moet dus nie hierdie tyd van die jaar vure maak nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaak \u2019n vuur slegs in \u2019n afgebakende gebied \u2013 soos by Tweede Tol in Bainskloof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit moet oor en oor beklemtoon word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephan Landsberg, \u2019n Drakenstein-raadslid in Wellington, het intussen \u2019n brief aan onder andere die Wes-Kaapse premier, Alan Winde, asook die LUR vir mobiliteit, Ricardo Mackenzie, gerig waarin hy sy kommer oor die situasie op Bainskloof by di\u00e9 amptenare opper het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie is \u2019n jarelange probleem wat somermaande die kop uitsteek. Verskeie mense het al op sosiale media gekla en skrywes aan die owerhede gerig, maar dit bly op dowe ore val,\u201d skryf Landsberg in die brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie enigste alternatiewe oplossing is dat \u2019n permanente provinsiale verkeersvoertuig 24 uur per dag patrollie moet doen en mense verwyder moet word, maar die eerste opsie is steeds dat die provinsie dit \u2019n tolpad moet maak, soos Chapman\u2019s Peak, om die pas vir die nageslag te bewaar.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
