Altesame 17 mense, onder wie etlike kinders \u2013 almal van die informele nedersetting Askamp in Roodewal, Worcester \u2013 is verlede Donderdagmiddag (5 Desember) met Kersfees om die draai dakloos gelaat toe hulle al hul besittings in \u2019n verwoestende brand verloor het.<\/p>\n
Altesaam vyf informele strukture het tot op die grond afgebrand. Niemand is in die brandtragedie, wat kort voor 13:00 uitgebreek het, beseer nie. <\/p>\n
Claudia Klein (43), \u2019n huishulp wie se informele woning ook deur die vlamme verswelg is, s\u00ea haar saamleefmaat, Romarlo Cyster (32), het haar omstreeks 13:00 gebel met die nuus dat hul woning aan die brand is. <\/p>\n
\u201cAlles binne my het doodstil gaan staan. Ek kon nie praat nie, want dit was net te veel vir my. My werkgewer het my onmiddellik huis toe gebring,\u201d het \u2019n verslae Klein aan Standard Breederivier Gazette<\/span> vertel.<\/p>\n Klein s\u00ea op pad huis toe het sy die heeltyd gehuil en terselfdertyd gehoop en gebid haar dogter, Sun\u00e9 Neethling (24), haar seun, Jake (2), en haar kleinkind, Jeron\u00e9 (6; Neethling se kind), is ongedeerd.<\/p>\n Klein het in trane uitgebars toe sy by die plek aankom waar haar woning die oggend nog gestaan het. <\/p>\n Sy s\u00ea Sun\u00e9 was in erge skok. Volgens Klein het Sun\u00e9 geslaap toe bure haar weens die brand wakker gemaak het. <\/p>\n \u201cSy was so deurmekaar dat sy haar meisiekind in die huis vergeet het. Hulle moes toe terug in die brandende huis hardloop om die kind te gaan uithaal.\u201d <\/p>\n Volgens Klein het hulle benewens hul besittings, al hul klere, kos en geskenke wat hulle al vir Kersfees gekoop het, in die brand verloor. <\/p>\n \u201cDit het my lank geneem om aan al my huisware te kom. Ek het net op my voete gekom, toe word alles weggeruk.\u201d<\/p>\n Volgens Klein slaap hulle tans by ene Hendriena Filander. <\/p>\n Lisa Fourie (46), wie se informele woning ook afgebrand het, s\u00ea niemand was tuis toe die brand uitgebreek het nie. <\/p>\n \u201cToe hulle vir my kom s\u00ea my plek brand, het ek seker vir 10 minute \u2019n lamheid in my rug gevoel. Ek het net daar gesit. <\/p>\n \u201cN\u00e1 10 minute, toe staan ek op. Toe ek by die huis aankom, was daar niks oor nie. Ek is \u2019n enkelouer. Ek voel so leeg en seer. Ek weet nie waar om nou te begin nie. Ek is die enigste broodwinner en het vier kinders. Ek het alles in die brand verloor.\u201d <\/p>\n Volgens Fourie woon sy en haar kinders tans by haar ma.<\/p>\n Cyster s\u00ea die brand het glo ontstaan toe mense in \u2019n nabygele\u00eb hok koper gesmelt het.<\/p>\n Margaret Swartz, \u2019n plaaslike wyksraadslid, s\u00ea teen Vrydagmiddag is nog na alternatiewe behuising vir die slagoffers gesoek. <\/p>\n Volgens haar het die AGS-kerk in Arendsestraat en die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit die slagoffers intussen van kospakkies voorsien. <\/p>\n \u201cOns is ook dankbaar vir die gemeenskap, want hulle het baie mooi op ons pleidooie vir hulp gereageer. Ons is in die proses om nog klere en beddegoed van skenkers te kry,\u201d s\u00ea Nik Wullschleger, raadslid. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Altesame 17 mense, onder wie etlike
