\u2019n Inwoner van Wellington het onlangs sy misnoe\u00eb uitgespreek teenoor die plaaslike regering wat volgens hom die pesbeheerdiens in die bre\u00eb gemeenskap gestaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christopher Samuels, wat hom as \u2019n gemeenskapswerker in die Drakenstein beskryf, meen die pesbeheer, wat volgens hom deur die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit hanteer is, was \u2019n helpende hand in die minderbevoorregte gemeenskappe en hy wil weet hoekom hierdie noodsaaklike diens gestaak is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBaie van ons mense woon in hout- of sinkhuise en van hulle word erg deur rotte, muise en kakkerlakke gepla. Daardie plae kan ons kinders baie siek maak. Diegene wat in beheer van pesbeheer was, moet hul planne agtermekaar kry of hul koppe laat lees,\u201d het Samuels gekla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By navraag aan die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit oor di\u00e9 klagte het Gerald Esau, die uitvoerende direkteur van gemeenskapsdienste, ges\u00ea die munisipaliteit neem kennis van die klagtes en sal die departement van omgewingsgesondheid by die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit (KWDM) in kennis stel van die probleem wat inwoners deesdae met hierdie soort peste ervaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die KWDM het ook op navrae gereageer: \u201cWat die verantwoordelikheid vir plaagbeheer betref, let asseblief daarop ingevolge die Wet op Nasionale Gesondheid, Wet 61 van 2003, word plaagbeheer as \u2019n funksie van munisipale gesondheidsdienste gelys. Die afbakeningsraad het dit as \u2019n funksie van \u2019n B- of plaaslike munisipaliteit verklaar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle verduidelik verder KWDM se verantwoordelikheid is egter die opvoeding en bewusmaking van gemeenskappe, maar die monitering en aanmelding van plaagbeheer in gemeenskappe en die funksie om plae uit te roei, bly di\u00e9 van die plaaslike munisipaliteit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHoewel die funksie tussen twee organisasies verdeel is, is dit belangrik om daarop te let dat die beheer van plae, soos rotte, by elkeen van ons begin,\u201d het Randall Humphreys, die adjunkdirekteur van munisipale gesondheidsdienste by die KWDM, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Humphreys vereis die beheer van plae die samewerking van alle partye en meen hy die belangrikste aspek is om seker te maak dat die plaagdiere niks het om te kan voed nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy noem die volgende punte:.<\/span> Elke inwoner moet altyd seker maak vullis word korrek en veilig weggegooi. Vullis moet verkieslik tussen organiese en herwinbare afval gesorteer word. Wanneer vullis verwyder word, moet die sak toegeknoop wees en verkieslik in \u2019n vullisdrom met \u2019n deksel of in \u2019n houer geplaas word..<\/span> Die plaaslike munisipaliteit moet vullis gereeld versamel en is verantwoordelik om die wegdoening van alle vaste afval te bestuur, asook om die skeiding van organiese en herwinbare afval onder inwoners aan te moedig. .<\/span> Die distriksmunisipaliteit is verantwoordelik vir gemeenskappe se opvoeding en bewusmaking oor plaagbeheer en algemene praktyke in omgewingsgesondheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHierdie benadering is in baie gemeenskappe doeltreffend, maar ongelukkig is daar in werklikheid sekere aktiwiteite wat tot die probleem bydra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOnwettige storting en rommelstrooiing is \u2019n enorme probleem in gemeenskappe in die distrik. Hierdie aktiwiteite bied nie net kos aan plae en ongediertes nie, maar dit hou \u2019n algemene gesondheidsrisiko in vir die mense wat in die gemeenskap woon.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy noem ook stortingsterreine of vullishouers word deur die plaaslike munisipaliteit verskaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie meeste stortingsterreine is ook op \u2019n Saterdag oop of het houers waarin afval na ure veilig geplaas kan word. Inwoners het dus geen rede waarom onwettige storting moet plaasvind nie. Gemeenskapslede moet onwettige storting aanmeld \u2013 nie net vir hul eie veiligheid nie, maar ook vir die higi\u00ebne van hul gemeenskap.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die KWDM se munisipale gesondheidsdienste, tesame met die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, het onlangs \u2019n bewusmaking- en opvoedingsessie in Mbekweni gehou om die gemeenskap oor die gevare van onwettige storting en rommelstrooiing in te lig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By hierdie geleentheid het lede van die gemeenskap genoem dat hulle aktief besig is om padrande te verfraai om storting te ontmoedig, want hulle besef dat \u2019n skoon en georganiseerde gemeenskap beleggers sal lok, wat tot nuwe werksgeleenthede kan lei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Inwoner van Wellington het onlangs sy
