\u201cOns is gatvol! Atlantis gaan nog baie brand!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 het inwoners Dinsdag 21 Augustus aan plaaslike raadslede ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit kom n\u00e1 meer as \u2019n honderd inwoners die oggend \u2019n optog na die plaaslike raadskantoor gehou het om \u2019n memorandum met hul misnoe\u00eb aan die raadslede te oorhandig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was die tweede optog in enkele dae met Witsand-inwoners wat 14 Au\u00adgus\u00adtus die ingange na Atlantis geblok\u00adkeer het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners s\u00ea hulle is keelvol vir \u201cle\u00eb beloftes oor behuising, ho\u00eb munisipale rekeninge en swak dienslewering\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raadslid Cynthia Clayton, subraad 1-voorsitter het die memorandum waarin al di\u00e9 klagte uiteengesit is namens die raadslede ontvang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 die oorhandiging het gemoedere gou oorgekook en van die inwoners het die strate ingevaar waar bande gebrand is omdat die inwoners meen die raadslede neem hulle nie ernstig op nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cN\u00e1 vandag gee ons nie meer om om n\u00f3g 14 jaar vir huise te wag nie, want ons is gewoond aan die omstandighede,\u201d het \u2019n betoger ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Ander inwoner meen raadslede wat op die betogers gevloek het, het die onluste veroorsaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is nie hier vir moeilikheid nie, maar kyk hoe behandel hulle ons. Die raadslede moet f* Clayton het aan Weskus Nuus<\/i> bevestig sy het die petisie ontvang en s\u00ea sy gaan spoedig daaraan aandag skenk. Sy s\u00ea gerugte dat raadslede die betogers gevloek het, is glad nie waar nie. Volgens Clayton het die betogers ook gedreig om raadslede se huise af te brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Betogers het besluit om \u2019n duideliker boodskap aan raadslede te stuur en minute later is die MyCiTi-bushalte gesluit en die pad met brandende bande afgesper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wetstoepassers van die stad Kaapstad het probeer om die situasie te ontlont, maar is deur die betogers uitgejou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kwaaddoeners wou ook die situasie uitbuit toe hulle nabye winkels bestorm het. Winkeleienaars was egter te vinnig en die dorp se sakekern was vinnig grafstil n\u00e1 al die winkels se deure gesluit is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens dr. Ivan Meyer, kiesafdelingshoof vir Atlantis en provinsiale LUR vir finansies, is dit \u201chartseer om te sien dat \u2019n klein groepie die dorp onregeerbaar wil maak deur bande in die strate te brand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meyer meen egter die moeilikheid\u00admakers sal nie slaag nie omdat \u201cAtlantis se mense keelvol is vir die handjie vol kwaaddoeners wat poog om die ekonomiese groei van die dorp in die wiele te probeer ry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Fiona Abrahams, plaaslike raadslid van die opposisieparty, is die ekonomiese inspuiting in Atlantis as gevolg van die nasionale regering se ingryping. Sy meen inwoners is keelvol vir swak dienslewering en raadslede wat \u201cslegs geleenthede aan hul familie en vriende gun\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Een van die organiseerders van die betoging, Mishka Ganief, voorsitter van die Atlantis Concerned Citizens-groep, s\u00ea daar was geen politieke motivering vir di\u00e9 betoging nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cOns is gatvol!
