Daar is gate aan albei kante van die dak bo-oor die gedenkmuur en boonop moet \u2019n mens sukkel om by geliefdes se grafte uit te kom weens die opeenhoping van grafte en onkruid wat hoog tussen grafstene groei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 beskryf sommige inwoners die toestand by die Parys-begraafplaas in die Paarl, wat volgens hulle dringend aandag nodig het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eugene du Plessis, \u2019n inwoner van die Paarl, het Paarl Post <\/i>vandeesweek deur die begraafplaas geneem en sy ongelukkigheid oor die toestand van die perseel uitgespreek.<\/i>\n<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea \u2019n begraafplaas is veronderstel om \u2019n plek te wees waar jou gewese geliefdes in waardigheid kan rus.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is egter nie die geval by hierdie begraafplaas nie. Soos jy kan sien, is daar gate in die dak van die gebou waarin jy die gedenkmuur aantref. Die gebou is ook binne in \u2019n baie slegte toestand. Daar\u2019s geen werkende ligte nie, so dis donker, selfs deur die dag. Jy sal amper nie eens jou geliefdes se name teen die muur kan vind nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Du Plessis het ook sy kommer uitgespreek oor die onkruid wat al kniehoogte tussen die grafte groei.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit lyk nie net onnet nie, maar dis ook baie onveilig. Ek is bang om daarin te beweeg, want wie weet watter tipe slange wag vir jou daar. My groot vraag is \u2013 wie is verantwoordelik vir die instandhouding van hierdie plek?<\/p>\n
\u201cAs dit die munisipaliteit is, sal hy moet opskud, anders sal inwoners maar self hande moet vat om hierdie perseel in stand te hou. Ons kan dit \u2019n meer verwelkomende plek maak deur byvoorbeeld sitplekke daar by die gedenkmuur op te rig. In hierdie stadium is daar nie eens \u2019n enkele sitplek nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Du Plessis het intussen deur middel van \u2019n plasing op een van die gemeenskap se Facebook-groepe na inwoners uitgereik om die gemeenskap aan te moedig om self die verantwoordelikheid vir die instandhouding van die begraafplaas te neem.<\/p>\n
Gerald Esau, die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit se uitvoerende direkteur vir gemeenskapsdienste, het by navraag aan Paarl Post <\/i>ges\u00ea instandhouding by die Parys-begraafplaas sowel as by alle ander in die munisipaliteit is sy (Drakenstein se) verantwoordelikheid.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n geboue-instandhoudingsafdeling wat spesifiek fokus op alle geringe instandhouding van geboue in ons begraafplase. Die gemeenskapsdiensteafdeling is tans besig om infrastruktuur-kwessies by hierdie afdeling aan te meld sodat hulle in di\u00e9 verband kan help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wat die onkruid en gras tussen grafte betref, s\u00ea Esau dit word wel gereeld gesny. \u201cOm ons diensstandaarde te handhaaf, sny die munisipaliteit die gras by begraafplase op \u2019n kwartaallikse basis. Ons instandhoudingspanne is juis tans besig om grassnydienste by die Parys-begraafplaas voort te sit,\u201d het hy Dinsdag (21 November) ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Esau s\u00ea \u201cdit is egter belangrik om daarop te let dat die hele munisipale gebied vanjaar buitengewoon ho\u00eb re\u00ebnval ervaar het, wat gelei het tot gras en onkruid se ongewone groei.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy het ook erken die meeste van die begraafplase in die munisipaliteit het bykans hul kapasiteit bereik. \u2019n Nuwe begraafplaas word in die Nieuwedrift-omgewing in Paarl-Noord ontwikkel.<\/p><\/i>\n\n\n\n
