\u201cDie rotte het tot \u2019n gat in die muur gevreet,\u201d s\u00ea Sonia Beukes (68) van Avondale. \u201cDit dryf my behoorlik teen die mure uit.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beukes is \u2019n diabeet en volgens haar is van die rotte groter as \u2019n kat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle vreet alles wat voorkom,\u201d wys sy na die blik wat die deksel van weggevreet is. Beukes beweer die rotte terroriseer haar s\u00f3 dat sy haar al vuilgemaak het en ook byna haar nek gebreek het toe sy van die trappe afgeval het van skrik vir di\u00e9 gediertes. \u201cDat \u2019n rot \u2019n mens kan beroof van jou menswaardigheid is \u2019n werklikheid,\u201d vertel die ouma na aan trane. Volgens Beukes het sy twee maande gelede die kombuis gebruik, want die rotte is self d\u00e1\u00e1r in beheer. \u201cEk moet net brood gryp en weer sorg dat ek in my kamer kom.\u201d Sy vertel ook sy sukkel steeds met diarree en moet mediese sorg kry.
\u201cMet my hande in die hare het ek byna elke dag na die raadskantoor gestap om die mense van di\u00e9 probleem in te lig, maar alles is verniet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners van die woonstelle in Avondale s\u00ea die rotteplaag is al lank \u2019n probleem en niemand doen iets aan dit nie. Volgens een van Beukes se buur\u00advroue, Audrey Stringer, het hulle al die raadslid gebel, maar hy was besig. \u201cOns gaan \u2019n petisie aan die raadslid oorhan\u00addig, want s\u00f3 kan dit nie aangaan nie.\u201d N\u00f3g \u2019n buurvrou, wat nie haar naam genoem wil h\u00ea nie, vertel van die massiewe rot wat hulle gevang het en doodgemaak het. \u201cDie rotte vat behoorlik hier by ons oor.\u201d Beukes vertel sy het \u2019n kennis wat vir Stad Kaapstad werk oor di\u00e9 probleem ingelig en mense is na hulle gestuur. \u201cDie gif wat hulle vir ons gegee het werk soos \u2019n bom, maar nou is die reuk in my huis ondraaglik,\u201d vertel sy. Wyksraadslid Cynthia Clayton s\u00ea sy het \u201calles in haar vermo\u00eb gedoen\u201d om die probleem aan die betrokke amptenare oorgedra. Sy s\u00ea \u2019n lang termyn oplossing moet gevind word. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
