Inwoners van verskeie buurte in Saldanha het dit verlede week op \u2019n gemeenskapsvergadering duidelik gemaak dat hulle vuisvoos is vir die ongekende en meedo\u00ebnlose vlaag bendegeweld waaronder hulle sedert verlede jaar gebuk gaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens gemeenskapsleier Hoosain Padayachee dui di\u00e9 vergadering op Woensdag 13 November op \u2019n belangrike oomblik van gesamentlike refleksie en nadenke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die diverse groep plaaslike inwoners, leiers en aktiviste, wat in die Diazville-gemeenskapsaal byeengekom het, het gepoog om \u2019n reeks dringende kwessies, wat die streek se groei en welstand ondermyn, aan te pak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kommer oor misdaad was sentraal tot die besprekings wat ook aan dienslewering, munisipale bestuur en die gebrek aan tasbare voordele van die beduidende nywerheidsbeleggings in die gebied, veral van plaaslike myne en die vryhawe Saldanha (IDZ), geraak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die misdaadkwessie het die vergadering oorheers met inwoners wat hul kommer oor die stygende misdaadsyfers in die gebied \u2013 veral die onlangse moorde, dwelmverwante oortredings, kleinsakerowe en die gebrek aan sigbare polisi\u00ebring \u2013 uitgespreek het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Padayachee meen baie mense die polisie doen nie genoeg om misdaad in die gemeenskap te bekamp nie en munisipale leiers swyg oor die saak. Inwoners het ges\u00ea die \u201cmisdaadsyfer is buite beheer\u201d en hulle kan nie \u201csonder vrees in die strate loop nie\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGemeenskapsleiers meen hulle het te lank stilgebly terwyl misdaad die norm geword het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle is dus nou onder druk om sterker standpunt oor misdaad in te neem en aan te dring op doeltreffender polisi\u00ebring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTen spyte van die vele frustrasies en uitdagings wat op die vergadering uitgelig is, was die atmosfeer nie heeltemal negatief nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie gemeenskap het \u2019n sterk begeerte getoon om aksie te neem en oplossings te vind vir die probleme wat Saldanha teister,\u201d het Padayachee ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom is verskeie positiewe voorstelle geopper en een van die belangrikste uitkomste van die vergadering was die stigting van gemeenskapskommissies om spesifieke probleme soos misdaad, dienslewering en ekonomiese ontwikkeling aan te pak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op Maandag 18 November, op \u2019n opvolgvergadering, het die gemeenskapskommissies terugrapporteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie dringende behoefte aan vinnige optrede is beklemtoon om die gemeenskap se bekommernisse aan te pak,\u201d het Padayachee ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
John Arends, \u2019n gemeenskapsleier, ges\u00ea dat daar vinnig beweeg moet word omdat die kwessies nie langer kan wag nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy meen die uitdagings moet dringend opgelos word en dat die gemeenskap moet saamwerk om te verseker dat hulle stemme gehoor word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Padayachee meen die ondersteuning van \u2019n wye reeks politieke en godsdienstige organisasies wat die gemeenskapsvergaderings ontvang, dui op \u2019n verenigde front vir verandering in Saldanha. \u201cDie Saldanha-gemeenskap het \u2019n sterk en beslissende boodskap uitgestuur dat verandering nie gaan gebeur as ons dit nie laat gebeur nie. Namate die gemeenskap vorentoe beweeg, is daar \u2019n gevoel van hoop dat Saldanha deur eenheid en kollektiewe aksie die uitdagings waardeur dit in die gesig gestaar word, kan oorkom en \u2019n meer voorspoedige en veilige toekoms vir al sy inwoners kan bou,\u201d het Padayachee ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
