In ‘n daad van aktiewe gemeenskaps- ontwikkeling het Dean Macpherson, die nasionale minister van Openbare Werke en Infrastruktuur, onlangs twee staatseiendomme in Malmesbury amptelik aan die Wes-Kaapse regering oorhandig met die doel om dit in ondersteuningsentrums vir mense wat van middelafhanklikheidsversteurings herstel, om te skep. Di\u00e9 gebaar is veel meer as ‘n administra-
tiewe skuif \u2013 dit is ‘n simboliese en praktiese poging om waardigheid terug te gee aan individue wat met verslawing worstel terwyl le\u00eb en vervalle staatsbates ‘n nuwe lewensdoel kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Macpherson se benadering is deel van ‘n groter strategie om sy departement te herposisioneer \u2013 weg van ‘n passiewe rol as bewaarder van ongebruikte geboue en eerder na ‘n dinamiese akteur wat sosiale impak dryf. Sedert hy die amp beklee, is 17 eiendomme al vir aktiewe gebruik heringestel \u2013 van skuilings vir slagoffers van geslagsgebaseerde geweld (GBV) tot herstelplekke vir verslawing, waarvan die twee nuwe Malmesbury-sentrums deel is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit is belangrik dat ons nie net oor dienslewering praat nie, maar werklik iets doen om die lewe van mense aan die onderkant van die samelewing positief te be\u00efnvloed,” het Macpherson by die oorhandiging ges\u00ea. Hy het ook beklemtoon dat elke gebou wat herwin word, ‘n geleentheid is om hoop te bou en ‘n veilige plek vir genesing, ondersteuning en wederopbou te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die gemeenskap beteken hierdie sentrums meer as net ‘n struktuur \u2013 dit is ‘n teken van erkenning, van samewerking tussen regeringsvlakke en ‘n stewige stap teen die stigma van verslawing. In gebiede soos Malmesbury, waar ondersteuningsdienste skaars is, bied hierdie ruimtes ‘n kans op rehabilitasie en sosiale herintegrasie.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met hierdie inisiatief stuur die departement ‘n duidelike boodskap: Gemeenskapsgesondheid, veiligheid en sosiale welstand is nie afsonderlike kwessies nie, maar deel van ‘n ge\u00efntegreerde strategie om Suid-Afrikaners te bemagtig \u2013 een eiendom, een mens, een gemeenskap op ‘n keer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
