Pogings om die Stad so ver te kry om \u2019n stukkende heining te laat regmaak wat bydra tot \u2019n veiligheidsrisiko vir leerders en inwoners op die perseel van die Jan Kriel-skool, sloer al sewe maande. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ds. Andr\u00e9 van Wyk, direkteur van die Jan Kriel-instituut (JKI), \u2019n ondersteuningsnetwerk wat gemoeid is met die bestuur van die skool se bates, s\u00ea die veiligheid van die kinders en inwoners op die skool se perseel is vir die instituut \u201c \u2019n baie belangrike saak\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Grensmuur van Jan Kriel se perseel loop parallel met die oewer van die Bottelary-rivier tussen Skoolstraat en Amandelweg. Die draadheining wat die \u201cingange\u201d aan weerskante van die strook grond langs die rivier (wat onder die Stad se bestuur val) eens versper het, is sodanig beskadig dat dit maklike toegang te voet bewerkstellig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Wyk het die subraad op 1 Junie verlede jaar genader nadat verskeie voorvalle van diefstal en saakbeskadiging op Jan Kriel se perseel voorgekom het. Toegang is klaarblyklik van die rivier se kant af, en oor die grensmuur \u2013 vibracrete met hakiesdraad bo-op (wat plek-plek in die proses beskadig is) \u2013 verkry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Wyk s\u00ea die gedeelte langs die rivier bied nie net \u2019n maklike roete vir misdadigers nie, maar het ook \u2019n woonplek vir haweloses en ander geword. Hy s\u00ea hulle is veral bekommerd oor die veiligheid van koshuisbewoners, van wie sommige fisiek gestremd is. Van Wyk s\u00ea van die leerders en ander inwoners op die perseel word soms aan onbetaamlike gedrag of naaktheid blootgestel. Die plakkers maak ook vuur, wat \u2019n brandgevaar skep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op 25 Junie verlede jaar het Van Wyk saam met Willem Rossouw, voorsitter van die JKI se raad, en Gerrit Odendaal, skoolhoof, met amptenare van subraad 21, asook \u2019n verteenwoordiger van die Stad se water-en-sanitasie-departement, wat aanlyn ingeskakel het, vergader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Wyk s\u00ea op die vergadering is ges\u00ea die skoonmaak van die gedeelte langs die rivier word vir die boekjaar wat op 1 Julie 2021 sou begin, beplan en \u2019n tender sou die koste vir die herstel van die heining bepaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In September het Odendaal \u2019n navraag aan Lorraine Frost, subraadbestuurder, en Desiree Visagie, die vorige raadslid van Wyk 11, oor die stand van sake gerig. Hy het twee weke later nog nie \u2019n antwoord ontvang nie en weer navraag gedoen..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die antwoord was dat op terugvoer van die lyn-departement gewag word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amper twee maande later \u2013 op 15 November, kort nadat daar weer inbrake was en die grensmuur beskadig is \u201cdeur plakkers wat hul besittings op die terrein wou stoor\u2019\u2019 \u2013 het Van Wyk sy frustrasie in e-pos aan verskeie subraad-verteenwoordigers te kenne gegee oor die gebrek aan die Stad se terugvoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het net dieselfde antwoord gekry\u2009\u2013 dat die betrokke lyn-departement moet antwoord gee,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Wyk het toe verneem dat daar nie toegang verkry kon word tot \u2019n termyntender om die heining reg te maak nie, maar dat die saak verder gevoer sou word. Middel Januarie het hy weer navraag gedoen. Twee weke later, met nog geen heining in sig nie en radeloos oor die (gebrek aan) spoed van die burokrasie, het Van Wyk TygerBurger gekontak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Navraag is aan die Stad gestuur waar in onder meer gevra is of dit \u2019n moontlikheid sou wees vir die JKI om self die stuk heining van sowat vyf meter (ten minste aan Skoolstraat se kant) te (laat) regmaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zahid Badroodien, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir water en afval, s\u00ea die CSRM, \u2019n onderafdeling van die Stad se water-en-afval-direktoraat gemoeid met wateropvanggebiede, stormwater en riviere, onderneem het om te kyk of hulle die skool kan help met die kwessies wat (op die vergadering verlede jaar) uitgelig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die CSRM is hoofsaaklik by die instandhouding en opgradering van riviere en oewers betrokke. Dit sluit skoonmaak, sny van gras en riete, verwydering van rommel, strukturele rehabilitasie en verbeterings van riviere in. Di\u00e9 afdeling se tenders maak egter nie voorsiening vir die herstel of oprig van heinings nie, s\u00ea Badroodien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Stad is bereid om in samewerking met die private sektor of nie-regeringsorganisasies sekere projekte te onderneem, maar dit is aan keuring onderworpe en sal \u2019n memorandum van ooreenkoms verg.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Badroodien s\u00ea daar word beplan om binnekort met die skoonmaak van gedeeltes langs die Bottelaryrivier te begin waar die riete gesny moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die riete kan slegs van Januarie tot Junie gesny word ingevolge omgewingsregulasies wat bepaal dat die oorheersende broeiseisoen van vo\u00ebls nie versteur mag word nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
