Paarl Post<\/span> gestuur en vertel hoe hy gesien het hoe mense langs die rivier by die gevaarlike keerwal piekniek hou en hoe die kinders in die water baljaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDie keerwal is \u2019n uiters gevaarlike deel van die rivier en het reeds tot vele sterftes gelei. Dit sluit in \u2019n reddingswerker wat tydens \u2019n oefensessie hier in die moeilikheid beland het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit het dus \u2019n heining in die omgewing van die keerwal aangebring, asook waarskuwingsborde, sodat mense nie daar naby kom nie, maar die heining l\u00ea tans plat en die een bord aan Bergrivier-boulevard se kant van die rivier l\u00ea ook plat. Verder word hierdie waarskuwings eenvoudig ge\u00efgnoreer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bekommerde inwoner het vertel die kinders was eensklaps in die malende water van die keerwal en hulle was merkbaar in die moeilikheid. Hy en ander mense het hulle te hulp gesnel met behulp van die pienk reddingsboeie, wat deur \u2019n private organisasie op die oewer van die rivier aangebring is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelukkig is die rivier tans laag en die kinders kon na veiligheid gebring word, wat \u2019n ander storie sou gewees het indien die watervlak ho\u00ebr was, vertel die inwoner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook ges\u00ea hy het die wetstoepassingsnood\u00adnommer geskakel, maar het geen antwoord ontvang nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n uiters gevaarlike situasie Ek het deur die jare al baie verdrinkings hier in die rivier gesien en dit maak my bang, maar dit gaan net weer gebeur indien die munisipaliteit nie daadwerklike stappe doen om toegang hier te beheer nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit sal hulle die kwessie van misdrywe langs die Bergrivier, sowel as di\u00e9 van die vele oortredings van munisipale verordeninge, van Vrydag (1 Desember) tot 28 Februarie 2024 met \u2019n veiligheidsplan aanpak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 plan is daarop gemik om die gebied te bestuur en openbare veiligheid gedurende die somer op \u2019n ge\u00efntegreerde en volhoubare wyse te bevorder, het Eda Barnard, die nuwe direkteur van openbare veiligheid by die munisipaliteit, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie plan sal uitgevoer word saam met operasionele vennote soos die munisipaliteit se wetstoepassingsdienste, verkeersdienste, brandweer- en reddingsdienste, die Suid-Afrikaanse polisiediens, private veiligheidsmaatskappye, buurt- en plaaswagte, die mediese nooddienste (EMS) en gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebrings\u00adforums (GPF\u2019s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In hierdie tydperk sal die Bergrivier-gebied in Drakenstein gereeld deur wetstoepassingsagentskappe patrolleer word (deur voet-, fiets- en voertuigpatrollies sowel as voertuigbeheerpunte), en oortredings van die wet sal hanteer word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydelike toiletgeriewe sal ook aangebring word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
