\u2019n Onlangse opname deur die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit het getoon dat bykans 500 haweloses op di\u00e9 munisipaliteit se strate rondswerf, met die meeste wat waarskynlik in die Paarl aangetref word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Paarl Post <\/i>het na die munisipaliteit uitgereik te midde van talle ondernemings in Paarl-Sentraal wat kla oor haweloses wat met hul bagasie voor sakeondernemings se persele plak, die stoepe bemors en selfs op die stoepe urineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit s\u00ea hy bewus is van altesaam 496 hawelose individue in die groter Drakenstein-vallei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het egter nie gespesifiseer hoeveel in elk van die munisipale gebiede \u2013naamlik Wellington, die Paarl, Gouda, Mbekweni, Simondium en Saron \u2013 aangetref word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens verskeie ondernemings in die Paarl word hul persele erg geraak weens onder meer haweloses se bagasie wat deur die dag op stoepe agterbly en die reuk van uriene wat in die lug hang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Sakevrou wat \u2019n gastehuis in die Lemoenkloof-omgewing naby Hoofstraat besit, het op voorwaarde van anonimiteit aan Paarl Post <\/i>ges\u00ea hoewel sy met die haweloses simpatiseer, hou hulle haar kli\u00ebnte weg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is hartseer en dis \u2019n baie sensitiewe saak. Ons is nie altyd bewus van die omstandighede hoekom mense op straat opeindig nie. Ons het egter al verskeie negatiewe aanlyn resensies van internasionale besoekers gekry oor hul ervaring hier. Ons gastehuis is oorkant \u2019n park gele\u00eb en dit is gedurig \u2019n oogseer. Die plek is \u2019n gemors. aan Matrasse en beddegoed hang in al wat \u2019n boom is. Ons laat nie eens ons kinders toe om naby die park te gaan nie. Soms probeer ons self \u2019n bietjie skoonmaak, maar \u2019n mens moet so versigtig wees waaraan jy vat,\u201d s\u00ea die sakevrou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea een van die ander sakevroue in dieselfde straat kla ook gereeld oor die haweloses wat soms die hele dag voor die perseel deurbring en die stoep bemors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sommige ondernemings se eienaars wys die vinger na die munisipaliteit se plaaslike wetstoepassers en s\u00ea munisipale wetgewing ten opsigte van die haweloses word nie reg toegepas nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sekere ondernemings s\u00ea hulle moes gevolglik private veiligheidswagte aanstel om die haweloses van hul stoepe af te hou. Ander het voorgestel hulle moet sproeiers gebruik wat elke vyf minute vanself aanskakel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ook die plakkerskamp onder die Markstraat-brug in die Paarl is vir baie jare al \u2019n kopseer. Dit is in die hartjie van die Paarl, maar geen poging word aangewend om \u2019n permanente oplossing hiervoor te vind nie. Plakkers wat op die drumpel van Hugenote-stasie kamp, word ook deur die owerhede ignoreer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Gerald Esau, die munisipaliteit se uitvoerende direkteur vir gemeenskapsdienste, is die munisipaliteit reeds besig met \u2019n nuwe opname vir spesifiek die Paarl te midde van \u2019n skerp toename in haweloses wat hulle hier kom vestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit het onder die munisipaliteit se aandag gekom dat baie haweloses van oor die Wes-Kaap heen by The Haven-nagskuiling in die Paarl opgeneem word en dan binne \u2019n kwessie van drie maande op straat beland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het reeds verskeie gesprekke met di\u00e9 nagskuiling gevoer vir hierdie haweloses om na hul plekke van herkoms terug te keer en sodoende die toename in haweloosheid in die Drakenstein en gepaardgaande probleme met bedelaars en swerwers te voorkom,\u201d het hy aan Paarl Post<\/span> ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Esau is die munisipaliteit in fase twee van sy plan om \u2019n nuwe nagskuiling in die Paarl op die been te bring, wat spesifiek daarop sal fokus om haweloses met hul families te herenig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is belangrik om in ag te neem dat haweloosheid nie \u2019n misdryf is nie. Ons werk gereeld saam met verskeie belanghebbendes, soos die departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling en wetstoepassers, om hierdie mense van sakeondernemings se persele af te verwyder en in \u2019n skuiling te plaas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Paarl Post <\/i>het omstreeks halfsewe Maandagoggend met een van die vroulike haweloses wat voor \u2019n onderneming in Lady Greystraat slaap, gepraat. Sy het ges\u00ea sy wens mense kan die stigma rondom haweloosheid verander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het nie gekies om op die straat te kom bly nie. My stiefpa het my uitgesit. Ek is van Chicago hier in die Paarl. Ek het \u2019n twaalfjarige kind wat nou deur my familie grootgemaak word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is belangrik om te noem dat ons so te s\u00ea hierdie persele \u2018oppas\u2019 en teen inbrake beskerm deur voor die deur te slaap. Ons sorg dat ons soggens verdwyn voordat hulle oopmaak,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n .<\/span> Much to the frustration of residents, <\/span>homelessness continues to worsen, with almost 500
