‘n Ernstige rioolkrisis by die Goudveld-Ho\u00ebrskool-koshuis in Welkom stel leerders en personeel bloot aan beduidende gesondheidsrisiko’s en onveilige lewensomstandighede.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die DA sal formeel ‘n versoekskrif aan die Vrystaatse Departement van Onderwys rig en toesig oor die Matjhabeng-munisipaliteit verskerp om die rioolkrisis wat die skool se bedrywighede toenemend bedreig aan te spreek.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Toesiginspeksie op 26 Maart deur raadslid Ren\u00e9 Steyn en LPW Jafta Mokoena het die erns van die situasie bevestig. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die besoek het gevolg op verskeie dringende briewe van die skool en Lejweleputswa- munisipale gesondheidsdienste, wat gewaarsku het oor ‘n verergerende rioolkrisis.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wat op die perseel ontdek is, bevestig ‘n algehele ineenstorting van munisipale rioolinfrastruktuur,” het Steyn ges\u00ea en die toestande as onaanvaarbaar vir enige opvoedkundige instelling beskryf.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die riooloorloop wat die koshuis raak, is afkomstig van ‘n fout in die munisipale rioolpypleiding langs Longweg, wat in die skool se stelsel terugvloei. Tydens die inspeksie het verskeie mangate op die koshuisperseel oorgeloop van rou riool.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die krisis het verder as sanitasieprobleme gevorder en bedreig infrastruktuur. Foto’s van die terrein toon sinkgate wat langs geboue vorm, poele rioolwater en wydverspreide grondversadiging. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gronderosie bedreig nou die strukturele integriteit van koshuisgeboue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die situasie verteenwoordig ‘n volskaalse infrastruktuurineenstorting eerder as ‘n ontwikkelende probleem, met dele van die omliggende Jan Cilliers Park-voorstad wat ook verstopte dreine, rioolterugvloei en opdamming van afvalwater ervaar.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steyn s\u00ea daar moet nie van onderwysinstellings verwag word om die gevolge van mislukte munisipale infrastruktuur te bestuur of te finansier nie. Die verslegtende toestande kan die skool dwing om die koshuis te sluit om leerderwelsyn te beskerm indien ingryping nie plaasvind nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die situasie beklemtoon die kritieke belangrikheid van die instandhouding van basiese munisipale infrastruktuur in die ondersteuning van noodsaaklike dienste soos onderwys. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Goudveld-Ho\u00ebrskool neem kennis van die onlangse mediaberigte en openbare kommentaar rakende die rioolprobleme wat ons koshuis raak. Ons wil dit onomwonde stel dat die gesondheid, veiligheid en welstand van ons leerders en personeel ons hoogste prioriteit bly,” s\u00ea Mark \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louwies, hoof van die Goudveld-Ho\u00ebrskool. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Die skool het reeds ‘n geruime tyd die probleem formeel aangemeld by die betrokke munisipale owerhede en gesondheidsdienste. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Verskeie skrywes en dringende versoeke is gerig om aandag te vestig op die erns van die situasie en die potensi\u00eble gesondheidsrisiko’s wat dit inhou. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dit is vir ons belangrik dat die skool se bestuur, dissipline en daaglikse funksionering van die koshuis stabiel is, en goed gevestig. Ons koshuis funksioneer as ‘n gestruktureerde, veilige en waardegedrewe omgewing vir ons leerders. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Die vertroue van ouers in ons koshuis het duidelik gegroei, en ons koshuisgetalle het in die afgelope paar maande merkbaar verdubbel,” s\u00ea Mark Louwies, hoof van die Goudveld-Ho\u00ebrskool.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
