<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nDie Drakenstein-munisipaliteit se direkteur van gemeenskapsdienste, Gerald Esau, bevestig dat etlike hoofpaaie in die Drakenstein-munisipale area het oorstroom, soortgelyk aan wat in Desember 2022 gebeur het as gevolg van ongewone ho\u00eb re\u00ebnval in die omgewing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPaaie in Gouda, Vlakkeland en Drommedaris moes gesluit word vir veiligheid maar is intussen heropen sodat Drakenstein Munisipaliteit met skoonmaak-aksies kan begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie volgende areas word geaffekteer: Bergrivier Boulevard, Van der Stelstraat, Lustigan, Kolbe-straat, Blommendal, Hoofstraat Suid, Jan van Riebeeck Weg, Marais-straat (Wellington), Annie Benjaminstraat, Zuidmeer, die nywerheidsgebied in Wellington (Westhoven), Distillerystraat, Skoolstraat, Simondium, Vlakkeland, Gouda-ingangspad, asook Drommedaris. Mure het ook by Non Pareille-, Foxglove-strate en die Jan Phillips-pad inmekaar gestort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit het sandsakke en plastieksakke versprei ten einde aan die onmiddellike behoeftes van die geaffekteerde persone te voldoen. Hawelose persone is na skuilings verwys waar hulle warm maaltye, dro\u00eb kleding en komberse kan kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie munisipaliteit is besorgd oor begrafnisse wat vir hierdie naweek geskeduleer is. Drakenstein se begraafplase is tans ontoeganklik, wat uitdagings bied om waardige begrafnisse te hou. Die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit sal met ondernemers kommunikeer in di\u00e9 verband.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Esau verseker egter dat die munisipaliteit se padsingenieurswese spanne en verkeersdienste saamwerk om die geaffekteerde gebiede skoon te maak. Verkeersbeamptes word ook op sleutelpunte langs paaie ontplooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGereelde kommunikasie sal plaasvind rakende alternatiewe roetes sodat bestuurders veilig by hulle eindbestemmings kan kom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit word tans oorval deur versoeke vir hulp by privaat eiendomme, en eiendomseienaars word aangemoedig om voorkomingsmaatre\u00ebls in plek te stel ter voorbereiding van die voorspelde swaar re\u00ebnval gedurende die komende langnaweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInwoners word ook sterk aangeraai om skuiling by hulle familie en vriende te soek totdat die weersomstandighede gestabiliseer het,\u201d voeg Esau by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bergrivier is volgens inwoners die volste wat hulle dit in jare gesien het, met die rivier wat sy walle heeltemal oorstroom het. Die Langstraatbrug in Noorder-Paarl is juis Woensdagoggend vir verkeer gesluit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sowat 30 mm re\u00ebn het Maandag (12 Junie) uitgesak, gevolg deur 25 mm Dinsdag, terwyl Woensdagoggend se re\u00ebnval tot 50 mm opgelewer het, wat dit altesaam tot minstens 105 mm vir die week tot Woensdag-middagete-tyd bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00f3g swaar re\u00ebn word vir die res van vandag en m\u00f4re (Donderdag 15 Junie) verwag, en alle nooddienste is op \u2019n gereedheidsbasis waaksaam vir enige verdere oorstromings of ander noodsituasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mense wat items wil skenk aan inwoners wie se wonings oorstroom is, kan dit by die brandweerstasie in Bergrivier Boulevard in die Paarl aflaai. Inwoners van Drakenstein kan noodgevalle en voorvalle aanmeld by ons tolvrye nommer by 080 131 3553, of via die SeeClickFix toepassing (sien Drakenstein \u2013 SeeClickFix) of deur hul wyksraadslid te kontak (sien http:\/\/www.drakenstein.gov.za\/about-us\/political-leadership\/contact-a-councillor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
