Owerhede in die Wes-Kaap \u2013 insluitend di\u00e9 in die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit \u2013 het die naweek hul hande vol gehad te midde van swaar re\u00ebn, donderbuie en skadelike wind wat verwoesting in veral die plaaslike munisipaliteite van die Overberg en Overstrand gesaai het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bykans 288 mm re\u00ebn is tussen Sondag en Maandag in sekere gebiede gemeet weens die laagdrukstelsel wat die naweek oor die land beweeg het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit is die Drommedaris- informele nedersetting die ergste getref, met 116 huishoudings wat weens oorstromings in die slag gebly het en 337 mense gevolglik dakloos gelaat het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydelike verblyf is vir van di\u00e9 inwoners deur die munisipaliteit voorsien met ander wat by familie en vriende gaan skuil het, het Louis Pienaar, die uitvoerende direkteur van ingenieursdienste in die munisipaliteit, Dinsdag aan Paarl Post <\/i>ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pienaar s\u00ea onder meer die gemeenskapsaal in Mbekweni is gebruik om skuiling aan die geraakte inwoners te bied, met enkele haweloses wat van die rivieroewers na skuilings in Wellington geneem is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Pienaar was die situasie in die munisipaliteit teen Dinsdag onder beheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie meeste van ons paaie was Dinsdagoggend om 06:00 oop. Ons het spanne gehad, wat paaie wat oorstroom is, skoongemaak het van vloedrommel. Die Langstraatbrug en Westhovenstraat, wat Maandag ontoeganklik was, is ook weer oop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea enkele substasies was teen Dinsdagmiddag nog ontkoppel weens ho\u00eb watervlakke, wat gevolglik tot onbeplande kragonderbrekings gelei het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns werk daaraan om oorblywende kragonderbrekings te herstel, wat onder meer die plaas Helderstroom insluit, waar \u2019n transformator vervang moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie algehele impak van die gure weer in Drakenstein was onder meer oorstroomde huise, rioolverstoppings, vloedrommel op paaie, bome wat omgeval het, mini-substasies onder water en gevolglike kragonderbrekings. Geen ongevalle of sterftes is aangemeld nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enkele huishoudings en sakeonderne\u00admings naby die Bergrivier by die Langstraatbrug in Noorder-Paarl het ook Maandag effense oorstromings ervaar weens die rivier wat sy oewers oorstroom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dereck Peceur, bedryfshoof van die munisipaliteit se brandweer- en reddingsdienste, het Dinsdag aan Paarl Post <\/i>ges\u00ea die sterk vloei van die rivier kan aan die ho\u00eb re\u00ebnval in ander dele van die provinsie toegeskryf word, maar die rivier se vloei het vermoedelik ook toegeneem weens ho\u00eb watervlakke by die Wemmershoek- en Bergrivierdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns rampbestuurspanne was op \u2019n gereedheidsgrondslag nadat die waarskuwing deur die weerdiens uitgereik is, dus kon ons betyds mense wat langs die rivier plak, na veiligheid neem. Dit is \u2019n standaardprosedure wanneer hierdie soort waarskuwings uitgereik word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWat wel opvallend is, is dat vanjaar se weer baie ongewone patrone toon. Dit is die tweede episode van ernstige oorstromings wat ons vanjaar ervaar. Dit is gewis nie die ergste oorstromings wat hierdie gebied al getref het nie, maar die feit dat hierdie twee so kort n\u00e1 mekaar plaasgevind het, is gewis noemenswaardig,\u201d s\u00ea Peceur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit kon nie Dinsdag by navraag bevestig wat die vlakke van die Bergrivier- en Wemmershoek-damme is en of enige sluise oop is nie. Die munisipaliteit het Paarl Post <\/i>na die departement van water en sanitasie verwys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit, wat onder meer Franschhoek, Jonkershoek en Cloetesville insluit, is Maandag bykans 100 oorstromingsverwante voorvalle by die munisipaliteit aangemeld, het Stuart Grobbelaar, \u2019n munisipale woordvoerder, by navraag ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSkade weens die weer is ervaar in veral die Franschhoek-, Jonkershoek-, Mooiwater- en Groendal-gemeenskappe. Skade aan infrastruktuur is ook in Khayamandi, Cloetesville, Idasvallei, Jamestown en die sentrale Stellenbosch-gebied \u2013 veral rondom die Eersterivier \u2013 aangemeld. In Jonkershoek het 134 mm re\u00ebn geval \u2013 \u2019n rekord. Die laaste rekord vir re\u00ebnval in hierdie gebied was 84,7 mm re\u00ebn in 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDele van die Franschhoek- en Mooiwater-omgewing moes vir \u2019n geruime tyd onder \u2019n kragonderbreking gebuk gaan omdat \u2019n substasie heeltemal onder water was. Munisipale spanne werk steeds ten tyde van hierdie skrywe onverpoos voort om water weg te pomp, kragdrade weer op te rig en toevoer te herstel,\u201d het Grobbelaar ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Franschhoek-pas (R45) was teen Dinsdag nog vir verkeer gesluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie paaie in die Overberg- en Overstrand-munisipaliteit was ook teen Dinsdag nog gesluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Brug op die N2 tussen Botrivier en Caledon het weggespoel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amptenare daar het reeds gewaarsku dat herstelwerk lank kan duur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die R44, oftewel Clarens-rylaan tussen Bettysbaai en Kleinmond, was ook Dinsdag nog gesluit, asook die R320 tussen Hermanus en Caledon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skade weens oorstromings het ook daartoe gelei dat die Chapmanspiek-pad vir verkeer gesluit moes word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bronne in die landboubedryf het aan Paarl Post<\/i> ges\u00ea die Paarl het reeds sy gemiddelde September-re\u00ebnval teenoor verlede jaar ver oorskry. Tussen 1 en 25 September staan die Paarl se gemiddelde re\u00ebnval op 203,5 mm teenoor 21,6 mm in September verlede jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Franschhoek het die naweek alleen sowat 288 mm re\u00ebn ontvang, lui die bronne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
