Die gemeenskapsleier Gavin Riddles spoeg vuur oor die toestand van die huise in die nuwe Maroela-Suid-behuisingsprojek in Kraaifontein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Begunstigdes, wat al dekades wag op behuising, het sowat ses maande gelede hul intrek in die nuwe staatsgesubsidieerde huise geneem, maar sit tot nou toe nog in onvoltooide huise, wat in donkerte gehul is, s\u00ea Riddles van die Gemeenskap Wet en Orde Stigting van Suid-Afrika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie huise is aan mense oorhandig sonder kragtoevoer, geisers en in sommige huise, te\u00ebls. Die mure is ook ongeverf en daar is geen gloeilampe in die ligte nie. Baie van die huise het ook krake en ander defekte gehad. Dis asof die ontwikkelaars of kontrakteurs kortpad gevat het. Hierdie is nie \u2019n tydelike kragonderbreking nie maar totale donkerte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense gebruik kerse of paraffienlampies en stofies en geen kos kan vars gehou word nie,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom is die projek al sedert 2015 in beplanning en moes dit volgens verwagtinge \u2019n ho\u00eb maatstaf handhaaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaar die mense is net daar neergeplak; daar is nie eens straatligte nie. Ons soek antwoorde. Hoe oorhandig jy \u2019n onvoltooide huis waarvoor kontrakteurs betaal is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInwoners is diep teleurgesteld en dit maak my warm onder die kraag. Ek het die kantoor van die burgemeester, asook komiteelid van behuising, gekontak om met dringendheid die probleem op te los. Ook \u2019n Eskom-verteenwoordiger is gekontak, maar het geen terugvoering gelewer nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners het onlangs na die polisiestasie opgeruk om die ho\u00eb misdaad in die area as gevolg van die donkerte bloot te l\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie misdaad is baie hoog hier. Daar was al \u2019n moord en talle inbrake en huisrooftogte. \u201cMense is bang om hier te bly en sommiges het al uit vrees oorweeg om uit te trek.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By \u2019n informele vergadering het inwoners voorgestel dat die projek gestop word sodat die huise wat reeds toegeken is, eers voltooi word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHuise en basiese dienste is \u2019n reg en nie \u2019n versoek nie,\u201d s\u00ea Riddles, wat saam met die inwoners \u2019n memorandum opgestel en gister aan die Stad oorhandig het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intussen poog inwoners om fondse in te samel om kragopwekkers aan te skaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carl Pophaim, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir behuising, het bevestig dat daar reeds 73 huise in die projek voltooi is, en 44 in verskeie fases van voltooiing is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pophaim s\u00ea geisers word nie voorsien in die huise nie aangesien die behuisingsubsidie nie voorsiening maak vir die installasie daarvan nie. Begunstigdes moet op eie onkoste geisers installeer, s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gesubsidieerde huise word ook gebou in ooreenstemming met die Wes-Kaapse regering se minimum standaarde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens di\u00e9 minimum standaarde word binnemure nie geverf nie, maar alle interne bedrading voltooi. Hy het geen kommentaar gelewer op die afwesigheid van te\u00ebls nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pophaim s\u00ea gloeilampe word ge\u00efnstalleer op die dag van die oorhandiging, wat begunstigdes dan in staat stel om dit na te gaan en te verifieer, voordat aanvaarding van die huis onderteken word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het verskeie uitdagings oor \u2019n aantal maande in die gesig gestaar, maar het toegewyd gebly aan die vordering van die projek om toe te sien dat die huise van begunstigdes so gou moontlik voltooi word. Die huidige fase van die Maroela-projek sal in Junie 2024 voltooi wees, as alles verloop soos beplan,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omdat Maroela-Suid in \u2019n Eskom-toevoergebied gele\u00eb is, is Eskom verantwoordelik vir kragtoevoer en huis-aansluitings, maar volgens Pophaim is die kragverbindings sedert November 2023 vertraag weens \u2019n gebrek aan grootmaatkapasiteit in die gebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEskom se grootmaat-opknappingsprojekte het talle vertragings ervaar en ons verwag dat dit in die tweede helfte van 2024 voltooi sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSodra die opknapwerk voltooi is, sal Eskom begin met die installering van hul netwerk en die koppeling van huise,\u201d s\u00ea Pophaim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy voeg by dat begunstigdes wel met die oorhandiging van die huise ingelig was dat die eenhede nie krag het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle word die opsie gebied om \u2019n huis sonder krag te aanvaar of nie te aanvaar nie, en almal het tot dusver die opsie aanvaar deur \u2019n erkenningsbrief te onderteken.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die Stad is deurentyd in kontak met Eskom oor die kwessie. Eskom het op navraag van TygerBurger<\/em>, teen druktyd nog nie kommentaar gelewer nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die gemeenskapsleier Gavin Riddles spoeg vuur oor die
