Luidens ‘n brief wat AfriForum aan die departement gestuur het, word motoriste tans deur Viljoenskroon herlei. Di\u00e9 dorp se strate is egter ook in ‘n haglike toestand en word nie behoorlik deur die Moqhaka-munisipaliteit onderhou nie. Die gevolg is dat duisende besoekers wat Nampo wil bywoon, gedwing word om op verbrokkelende paaie te ry. AfriForum se brief is ook aan die munisipaliteit en die Suid-Afrikaanse Padagentskap (Sanral) gestuur, vir ingryping.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die DA het ook sy bekommernis oor die haglike toestande van die pad uitgespreek.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David van Vuuren, DA-woordvoer-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
der vir Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling in die Vrystaatse Wetgewer, s\u00ea hulle het aan Sanral geskryf om duidelikheid te vra oor die oordrag van die pad se onderhoud; ook aan die LUR vir Gemeenskapsveiligheid, Paaie en Vervoer, met die versoek dat herstelwerk \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dringend aan die R59 gedoen word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die departement het hy Sanral reeds versoek om verantwoordelikheid vir die pad te aanvaar, maar Sanral betwis glo hierdie oordrag. Die DA wil met sy brief aan Sanral bevestig of die versoek inderdaad ontvang is en, indien wel, ‘n duidelike tydlyn vir herstelwerk vasstel.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terwyl die departement aangedui het dat die oorhandiging en herstelwerk binne die volgende drie maande sal plaasvind, bly die DA skepties oor hierdie tydsraamwerk.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel ‘n gedeelte van die R59 al geruime tyd onder konstruksie is, is daar geen vordering nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AfriForum het ook ernstige kommer uitgespreek oor die standaard van werk wat die aangestelde kontrakteur tot dusver op die R59 en Fortunastraat-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
projek verrig het. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Jaco Grobbelaar, AfriForum se hoof vir die sentrale streek, is die toestand van die paaie nie net ‘n infrastruktuurprobleem nie, maar hou dit ook ‘n direkte veiligheidsrisiko vir padgebruikers in.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Met duisende besoekers wat na verwagting die Nampo-oesdag sal bywoon, kan die huidige toestand van die paaie tot ernstige ongelukke lei. Dringende ingryping is nodig voordat die oesdag oor sowat twee maande afskop,” eis Grobbelaar. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AfriForum het ‘n openbare petisie begin waarin inwoners en pad-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
gebruikers die regering versoek om dringend op te tree. Elkeen wat dit onderteken, sal ook ‘n formele klag by die owerhede laat registreer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Die regering het ‘n verantwoordelikheid om te verseker dat openbare infrastruktuur veilig en bruikbaar is. Die huidige toestand van die paaie om Viljoenskroon is onaanvaarbaar en stel duisende mense se veiligheid in gevaar,” s\u00ea Grobbelaar.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die R59 dien as ‘n kritieke skakel tussen boerderygemeenskappe en plaaslike markte, wat daagliks etlike tonne graan na silo’s vervoer in die oesseisoen.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deur die Infrastruktuurkomitee het die DA terugvoering ontvang oor die pad se verslegtende toestand, asook die distrik se tussentydse instandhoudings-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
plan totdat Sanral verantwoordelikheid aanvaar \u2013 ‘n oorhandiging wat die party ten volle ondersteun.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die distrik benodig glo R5 miljoen om die pad in stand te hou totdat die oordrag gefinaliseer is. Die DA meen versuim om hierdie relatief beskeie bedrag toe te ken, sal agteruitgang versnel, voertuigskade en vervoerkoste verhoog, en verdere druk op boere en klein ondernemings plaas. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bykomende druk raak eindelik inwoners wie se werk en huishoudelike inkomste van landbouproduktiwiteit en betroubare infrastruktuur afhanklik is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
