Besighede in Riverside Industri\u00eble Park, Uitenhage, moet die afgelope vier weke met die stank van rou riool verduur nadat \u2019n munisipale riooltenk oorgeloop het. Foto\u2019s: HEILIE COMBRINCK<\/div>\n

VAN bakboord na stuurboord in \u2019n see van riool en uiteindelik n\u00ea-rens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00f3 het Gerrit de Jager, \u2019n sakeman van Uitenhage gevoel nadat hy vir twee weke by verskeie amptenare van die Nelson Mandelabaai-munisipaliteit, rou stinkende riool \u2013 wat deur die Riverside industri\u00eble persele vloei \u2013 aangemeld het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na die aanmeldings het hy navrae hieroor bly doen, maar dit het op niks uitgeloop nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs ek nie R8 000 opgedok het om \u2019n privaat honeysucker <\/span>te kry nie, was ons seker nou nog in die gemors,\u201d s\u00ea De Jager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie stank was iets afgrysliks. Veral wanneer die temperatuur by 42 grade gaan draai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

Buiten dat di\u00e9 rou riool \u2019n gesondheidsgevaar is, het die riool ook \u2019n paar besighede, soos di\u00e9 bandeplek, verhoed om sake soos gewoonweg te kon bedryf.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die infrastruktuur is volgens De Jager so aangel\u00ea dat die riool van die industri\u00eble gebied na \u2019n sentrale dreineringstenk op die hoek van Magennisstraat en Mel Brookeslaan vloei, vanwaar dit na die rioolwerke gepomp moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaar dit lyk vir my die pomp is stukkend. Daarom het die riool begin oorloop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geen sake soos gewoonweg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buiten dat di\u00e9 rou riool \u2019n gesondheids gevaar is, het dit ook beteken dat \u2019n paar besighede nie hul sake soos gewoonweg kon bedryf nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Jager beduie na die besigheid langs syne. \u201cHierdie man se werk is buitebande. Hoe moet hy bande omruil as voertuie deur die sowat 10cm diep rou riool moet ry? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn \u2019n gebou langsaan is \u2019n motorwerktuigkundige en langs hom \u2019n paneelklopper \u2013 hoe moet hulle aan voertuie werk wat deur di\u00e9 gemors moet ry? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVan die ouens het ges\u00ea dat hulle nie huur gaan betaal vir die weke wat hulle nie weens die riool kon werk nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Jager het op 14 Januarie die riool-krisis by die munisipaliteit se elektriese departement aangemeld, waarna hy terugvoering gekry het dat hulle dit na die inbelsentrum verwys het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die volgende dag, toe daar steeds geen munisipale spanne opgedaag het nie, het hy weer die munisipaliteit gebel en is toe verwys na die munisipale krisisbeheersentrum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na ses oproepe was De Jager steeds in \u2019n doodloopstraat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToe bel ek die burgemeester en hy s\u00ea toe: \u2018This will be done. Leave it to me<\/span>\u2019. Wel, dae later \u2026 en daarvan het ook niks gekom nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Groot oppervlak van die industri\u00eble park was vir twee weke onder stinkende rou riool. Die munisipaliteit het in di\u00e9 tyd geen hulp aangebied nie, alhoewel die krisis vermoedelik veroorsaak is deur \u2019n munisipale foutiewe rioolpomp. Foto: GERRIT DE JAGER<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

De Jager het hom in die daaropvolgende dae gewend tot verskeie politici en sy klagtes het selfs in Kaapstad gedraai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVan al die telefoniese beloftes het \u00f3\u00f3k boggerol gekom. Die wyksraads-lid George Miggels het selfs geweier om enigsins verder met my te praat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierna het De Jager op eie onkonste \u2019n riooltenkwa gekontrakteer om die riool-dreineringstenk te kom leegsuig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nadat dit uiteindelik gedoen is, was die ellende nog nie verby nie, want die rioolopdrifsels, verspreid in \u2019n dik laag oor \u2019n wye gebied van die nywerheidsperseel, stink nog verskriklik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Jager moes ook verneem dat die munisipaliteit nie chemikalie\u00eb het nie om di\u00e9 rioolslik mee te behandel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir De Jager is die gebrek aan munisipale dienslewering tydens die rioolsorting-krisis, en dat hulle as sakeeienaars aan hul eie lot oorgelaat is, erger as di\u00e9 stank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munisipale terugvoering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mamela Ndamase, munisipale woordvoerder, het bevestig dat \u2019n meganiese fout by die Magennisstraat pompstasie die rioolstorting veroorsaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2019n Nuwe pomp is ge\u00efnstalleer en die pompstasie werk nou weer ten volle,\u201d s\u00ea Ndamase. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
