AS elke Despatch-inwoner drie dinge doen, sal die dorp een van die skoonstes in die land wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 drie dinge is: sit jou swartsakke die oggend van jou woonbuurt se vullisverwydering uit; tel die papiere, bottels en plastiek voor jou eiendom of in jou straat op; en moet nie \u2019n morsjors wees wat di\u00e9 goed uit jou kar gooi of terwyl jy in die straat loop nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Paar Despatchers het in die gewoonte gekom om moue op te rol, handskoene aan te trek en in te spring om skoon te maak in hulle omgewings waar hul bly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van hulle is Maro Swanepoel wat s\u00ea, \u201c#I\u2019mStaying. Ek gaan n\u00earens heen nie, vir my is daar nie sprake van landuit nie. Op Despatch sal ek bly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is my wens dat elkeen van ons, waar ons bly, \u2019n bietjie meer moeite doen om ons omgewing skoon te hou. Saam kan ons \u2019n groot verskil maak en ons dorp weer skoon kry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy woon in Retief-woonbuurt en dit is waar sy en nog \u2019n paar helpende hande \u2019n verskil maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOp \u2019n Saterdag tel ek gou-gou drie swartsakke vol gemors op. Dit is veral koeldrank- en drankbottels, chips<\/i>-pakkies en plastiek in alle vorme, van babadoeke tot wat ook al,\u201d s\u00ea Maro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n inwoner van Retief wat passievol is om die woonbuurt skoon te kry, is Ian Venter. Vir hom gaan dit oor respek en in- tegriteit teenoor die natuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns as mense is verantwoordelik om om te gee vir die natuur en die omgewing waar jy bly. As jy selfrespek het, sal jy met respek teenoor ander sowel as die natuur optree,\u201d s\u00ea Ian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuidelik is daar baie wat nie hierdie tipe respek het nie, want dit is verskriklik hoe mense mors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het al \u2019n paar jaar gelede besluit om sy kant te bring en \u2019n verskil te maak waar hy bly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs elke mens net \u2019n bietjie meer omgee en sy of haar omgewing help skoonhou, sal dit \u2019n groot verskil in die dorp maak,\u201d s\u00ea Ian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy en Maro is dit eens dat as \u2019n paar inwoners in \u2019n straat saamstaan en om die beurt help, sal daar oor die langtermyn \u2019n transformasie van die dorp wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besighede moet ook hulle kant bring, vullis hoop veral op waar daar motorwasplekke, kafees en winkels is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGemors bly nie net daar waar jy dit gegooi het nie. Die wind waai dit oral heen. En as dit re\u00ebn spoel daardie gemors in stormwaterpype in en eindig uiteindelik in die rivier of selfs in die see,\u201d s\u00ea Maro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense moet ophou kla en vir ander te wag om die werk te doen. Begin self om \u2019n verskil te maak waar jy bly,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners van Retief word versoek om hulle swartsakke op Donderdae, wanneer munisipale vullisverwydering gedoen word uit te sit, nie op enige ander dae nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuinvullis moet fyn verwerk word indien dit in swartsakke gegooi word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die publiek word ook versoek om inwoners wat oortree, deur takke of ander rommel onwettig te stort, af te neem of te rapporteer by die plaaslike raadslid. Indien daar voldoende bewyse is kan so \u2019n oortreder beboet word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
