Die woeste weer van verlede week se nagevolge is nog lank nie verby nie.<\/p>\n
Verskeie paaie en br\u00fbe het erge skade gely. \u2019n Gedeelte van die treinspoor in De Doorns is deur die rivier weggespoel. Baie wingerde en ander plase is diep onder water as gevolg van die re\u00ebn.<\/p>\n
Die Viljoensdrift-wynplaas wat langs die Breederivier 12 km buite Robertson gele\u00eb is, het Maandag op sy Facebook-blad \u2019n foto gedeel waarin gesien kan word hoeveel die watervlak gestyg het in vergelyking met die oorstromings van verlede jaar. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns is diep hartseer om te deel dat Viljoensdrift verlede week erge verlies en skade in die verwoestende oorstromings gely het, wat ons geen keuse gelaat het as om ons deure tot verdere kennisgewing te sluit nie. Die beeld [foto] is \u2019n skerp herinnering aan die krag van die natuur en die broosheid van ons gekoesterde tuiste. Ten spyte hiervan bly ons daartoe verbind om vir jou ons beste wyne te bring,\u201d lui die boodskap.<\/p>\n
Hulle het ook \u2019n video gedeel wat verdere verwoesting toon, soos wynbottels wat deur die water wat deur \u2019n vertrek gevloei het, rondgestrooi is. Hulle was nie telefonies bereikbaar vir opvolgvrae nie.<\/p>\n
Willy-John Gordon, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Langeberg-munisipaliteit, het ges\u00ea \u2019n pompstasie by Viljoensdrift is beskadig.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie waterpompstasie by Viljoensdrift, wat rou water aan die Ashton-watersuiweringsaanleg sowel as aan Montagu verskaf, het groot skade opgedoen. Groot werk is nodig om hierdie pompstasie te herstel.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns skat dit sal minstens drie weke neem vir di\u00e9 pompstasie om weer in werking te wees. Verdere herstelwerk sal nodig wees om te verseker dat die pompstasie ten volle herstel is. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit het \u2019n direkte impak op die watertoevoer na Ashton en Montagu. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie Bonnie\u00advale-waterpompstasie by Breederivier, wat oorstroom het, asook rioolpomp\u00adstasie sewe, is ook beskadig. Albei pompstasies is in werking, maar gedetailleerde herstel\u00adwerk moet nog gedoen word,\u201d verduidelik Gordon.<\/p>\n
Skade is ook aan heelwat infrastruktuur aangerig.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie gebiede wat die meeste geraak word, sluit McGregor en alle plase en huise aan weerskante van die Breede\u00adrivier in. <\/p>\n
\u201cHierdie gebiede het uitgebrei\u00adde skade aan infrastruktuur ervaar.\u201d <\/p>\n
Die Breedevallei-munisipaliteit (BVM) het verlede week 170 inwoners uit \u2019n informele nedersetting in Rawsonville ontruim omdat die gebied onder water is. <\/p>\n
\u201cTans word nog net twee gesinne deur die munisipaliteit gehuisves en hulle sal vandag (Donderdag) nog drie maaltye ontvang,\u201d het John Bulani, \u2019n woordvoerder van die BVM, ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n
Hy verduidelik ook die munisipaliteit gee tans aandag aan alle stormwaterblokkades.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns spanne gee tans aandag aan foute met betrekking tot stormwaterblokkades wat deur die swaar re\u00ebn veroorsaak word. Ons het ook \u2019n toename in slaggate opgemerk en weens die huidige toestande is dit moeilik om te herstel. Ons versoek die publiek om geduldig te wees en versigtig te bestuur. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie enigste skade aan stormwaterinfrastruktuur is in Bothastraat, Rawsonville, gesien. Ons monitor tans die funksionaliteit van die stormwaterlyn, maar sal die skade bepaal sodra toestande dit toelaat,\u201d het Bulani verduidelik. <\/p>\n
Masjinerie is ook ingespan om te help opruim n\u00e1 die skade.<\/p>\n
\u201c \u2019n Graafmasjien het gister [Maan\u00addag] in die Hexrivier beland terwyl dit die laevlakbrug ontruim het. Die voor\u00adval is nou \u2019n polisie-ondersoek, en alle navrae moet aan die polisie gerig word.\u201d <\/p>\n
Die Worcester-polisie het bevestig \u2019n man het Maandag (15 Julie) verdrink.<\/p>\n
\u201cVolgens \u2019n ooggetuie, wat \u2019n kollega van die oorledene was, was die slagoffer, Andrey Spruit, besig om die rivier in \u2019n graafmasjien oor te steek. Die graafmasjien het toe in \u2019n gat geval en Spruit het verdrink,\u201d het AO Vathiswa Jacobs, \u2019n polisiewoordvoerder, verduidelik. <\/p>\n
Foto\u2019s van \u2019n bakkie wat in die rivier beland het, het ook die ronde gedoen. Volgens berigte is die bestuurder ongedeerd. Dit blyk die voorval het gebeur by die brug by Johnsonspark, bekend as Drie bruggies, wat weggespoel het. Verskeie mense moes deur die BVM en ander rolspelers se bekwame reddingswerkers met bote na veiligheid geneem word.<\/p>\n
In \u2019n video kan gesien word hoe \u2019n groot deel van die treinspoor tussen Kantevlei en Seekoeigat weggespoel is. <\/p>\n
Die landboubedryf het nie groot skade aangemeld nie, maar wel genoem dat die hoeveelheid re\u00ebn by graan\u00adboere kommer wek. <\/p>\n
Volgens Bulani is die R101 in Rawsonville, Aan de Doorns- pad en die De Wet-brug nog gesluit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
