Die gesin van \u2019n man van Welkom wat onlangs oorlede is, moes meer as R10 000 uit eie sak betaal om die Welkomse begraafplaas toeganklik te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piet Harmse is op Vrydag 18 Maart in die ouderdom van 97 oorlede. Dit was sy laaste wens om by sy vrou, Hester, begrawe te word. Sy is in 1995 oorlede. Haar graf is spesiaal voorberei sodat hy bo-op haar ter ruste gel\u00ea kan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gesinslede was verlede week erg geskok met hul eerste besoek aan die begraafplaas. Stukkende grafte, geskende grafstene, lang gras, die muur van herinnering wat nie meer bestaan nie, die nissies wat oopgebreek is en die oorledenes se as wat orals gestrooi is, beeste wat op die grafte wei en verwoesting was aan die orde van die dag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c \u2019n Lid van ons familie se grafsteen is skoonveld,\u201d s\u00ea Jan Harmse, Piet se seun, wat al 56 jaar in Welkom woon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het die familie bymekaargeroep en hulle het ingespring om die blok om hul pa se graf skoon te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het Saterdag (19\/03) en Sondag elke dag 13 uur lank onverpoos gewerk om alles skoon te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy span het bestaan uit my sussies en ons gades: Susan, Hendrieka, Madelein, Phillip, Jaco, Jatienne en Amanda. Ook ons huispersoneel en stukwerkers het hard gewerk om ons pa se droom te verwesenlik.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan s\u00ea daar was ook emosionele tonele tydens die skoonmaakproses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Baie ou man het hulle genader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHy het ons vertel dat hy al lank sy ouers se grafte soek, maar die lang gras en die slegte toestande wat in die begraafplaas heers, maak dit vir hom onmoontlik om die grafte te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSoos wat ons gepraat het terwyl ons skoonmaak, het ons op sy ouers se grafte afgekom. Hy was so dankbaar hy het net daar op sy knie\u00eb gesak en begin huil. Ons het almal saam gehuil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy vertel ook oor hoe hulle op die vermoorde Michael van Eck se graf afgekom het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit was ook \u2019n baie emosionele oomblik. Ons kon d\u00edt ook mooi skoonmaak,\u201d s\u00ea Harmse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valerie Watts, een van Jan se susters, het in 1998 uit Welkom verhuis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het 45 jaar in Welkom gewoon, maar die toestaande hier is nou skokkend,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piet is Vrydag (25\/03) vanuit die Avbob-kapel in Welkom begrawe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn ons tyd van rou kon ons baie mense se herinneringe weer oopmaak,\u201d s\u00ea Jan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Vistaword daagliks oorval met klagtes van woedende inwoners wat nie meer die grafte van hul geliefdes kan besoek nie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Buiten die ho\u00eb gras en onrybare paaie is dit \u2019n gevaarlike gebied vir vrouens en bejaardes om te besoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Die Joodse kapel is verwyder nadat dit heeltemal geplunder is en die kinderbegraafplaas is verwaarloos en oorgroei. Die netjiese Welkom-begraafplaas van destyds bestaan lankal nie meer nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
