Dit blyk of valleiers die komende Kerstyd hul sente \u2019n hele paar keer sal moet omdraai en dit net om kop-bo-water te hou.<\/p>\n

2022 was \u2019n jaar met groot struikelblokke vir talle inwoners, veral in die lig van stygende kos en- brandstofpryse en die impak wat inflasie op allerlei onkostes en tariewe gehad het.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoe hou \u2019n mens die pot aan die kook, maar jy kan nie eens bekostig om iets in die pot te sit nie?\u201d<\/p>\n

So s\u00ea Ailene Olifant (37), \u2019n inwoner van Riverview. Sy en haar man werk albei in en om ander mense se huise \u2013 sy as skoonmaker en hy as tuinman. <\/p>\n

Olifant se sy en haar man kan nooit staatmaak op \u2019n permanente inkomste nie omdat hulle maar hier en daar loswerkies aanvaar.<\/p>\n

\u201cParty weke kry ons maar saam R300 en ander weke \u2019n bietjie meer. Dit gebeur ook dat ons soms niks kry nie. Ons maak maar staat om hier en daar by mense se huise te werk, maar dit is net as hulle ons nodig kry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sy s\u00ea hulle het twee kinders wat by hulle woon en die nood loop gereeld hoog in die huishouding.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dogter is 17 en ons seuntjie is vyf. Hulle kort gereeld goedjies vir skool, maar hoe moet \u2019n mens nee s\u00ea? Hoe moet ek hulle in die o\u00eb kyk en s\u00ea ek kan nie? Dit breek my hart. Ons veg om te oorleef. Om kos op die tafel te kry en ten minste krag te h\u00ea, is maar ons nommer-een-prioriteit,\u201d verduidelik sy verder.<\/p>\n

Olifant verduidelik ook die invloed wat duurder kragpryse op hulle as \u2019n gesin het: <\/p>\n

\u201cOns het elke maand sowat R200 se krag gekoop, en daarmee het ons uitgekom. Van verlede maand af betaal ons R370 vir krag. Dit is baie. Ons bid maar elke aand dat ons situasie sal verander. Ek soek iets meer permanent en my man probeer ook sy bes, maar met sy kroniese asma en depressie is dit \u2019n gesukkel. <\/p>\n

\u201cEk kon drie jaar terug met R100 kookolie, \u2019n brood, melk en bone vir sop koop. As ek dit vandag gaan koop, betaal ek dubbel daardie bedrag. <\/p>\n

\u201cHoe moet ons nou oorleef \u2013 alles kos amper dubbel en ons inkomste het nie saam met dit gegroei nie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Kinders in die vallei voel ook die impak van hul omstandighede wat spruit uit die ekonomiese krisis, maar sal steeds bly glimlag.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Die Williams-gesin se patriarg, Solomon (55), vertel dat dit met hom en sy dogter net so swaar gaan. <\/p>\n

Hy is die enigste broodwinner en sy vrou is in 2020 aan Covid-19 oorlede. <\/p>\n

Hy is ook \u2019n enkelouer wat probeer om die moeilike tye te oorkom.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy vrou het as \u2019n skoonmaker by die \u2018mall\u2019 gewerk en het \u2019n redelike inkomste verdien. <\/p>\n

\u201cEk het in Ashton op \u2019n kontrakbasis gewerk om te help paaie bou, maar die kontrak het tot \u2019n einde gekom. Nou maak ek maar houtgoedjies en probeer om dit te verkoop. <\/p>\n

\u201cEk doen ook hier en daar staalwerk en wag dat iemand my laat weet van iets. Ek stuur my CV orals,\u201d verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n

Selfs kleuters moet soms deur die asblikke grawe op soek na \u2019n vonds om huis toe te neem. Hier het twee kleuters op \u2019n sak aartappels afgekom tussen ou bierbottels, geskeurde klere en ander afval.<\/div>\n

Volgens Business Insider het pryse in Suid-Afrika die afgelope drie jaar geweldig gestyg. Navorsing wys dat kospryse met gemiddeld tussen 10% en 16% gestyg het, met uiterste gevalle soos kookolie wat met bykans 35% gestyg het. Brandstof het ook met sowat 40% gestyg en krag en basiese dienste met tussen 15 en 25%.<\/p>\n

Standard <\/em>het in talle areas van die dorp gaan rondry om by inwoners self te hoor wat hul opinie is oor stygende pryse en die impak wat dit het op hul beplanning vir die Kersseisoen.<\/p>\n

In \u2019n kwessie van bykans twee ure, het vier persone vir Standard <\/em>genader om \u2019n skenking of donasie te maak – hetsy vir kos of kontant. Dit is beduidend op die feit dat valleiers swaar trek en dat daar \u2019n groot behoefte in die gemeenskap heers.<\/p>\n

Giving Wings, \u2019n organisasie sonder winsbejag, wat elke week kospakkies en warm etes aan straatbewoners en behoeftiges in die vallei skenk, verduidelik dat dit vir hul duidelik is dat al meer mense sukkel om kop bo water te hou.<\/p>\n

\u201cOns het gewoonlik baie mense gehelp met kospakkies. Dit is \u2019n projek wat danksy Covid-19 ontstaan het en het in 2020 ons eerste projek aangepak. Ons behoeftelys sedertdien het sekerlik 400% gegroei tot by die punt waar ons vandag is. Ons gee vir bykans 500 volwassenes en kinders kos op \u2019n gegewe tyd. Ons is nog een van die kleiner organisasies. Hoeveel doen die kerke dan nie en al die ander wonderlike organisasies hier rond? Dit is eintlik so hartseer,\u201d verduidelik die voorsitter, Carmen Chestor.<\/p>\n

Chestor voer ook aan dat dit veral kinders is wat die ergste ly.<\/p>\n

\u201cOns sien soveel kinders wat honger is. Ons sien kinders wat ou botterbakkies of roomysbakke bring om kos te kom afhaal. Ons kinders in die streek ly die ergste, maar as jy op enige gegewe tyd deur ons strate ry sal jy ook sien dat dit hulle is wat met die grootste glimlagte baljaar.\u201d <\/p>\n

Juenieta Everson van Sandy\u2019s Eden, \u2019n plaaslike organisasie wat dierebeskerming uitvoer, meen ook dat \u2019n omgewing of streek se gesondheid gemeet kan word aan hoe goed (of sleg) hul diere versorg word.<\/p>\n

Sy is egter van mening dat hier bitter baie gevalle van verwaarlosing is van troeteldiere en diere wat hongerly.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Weerlose troeteldiere moet ook soms in die gemors vir hul volgende maaltyd gaan soek.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2019n Inwoner van Roodewal, Karel Moses, vertel aan Standard <\/em>dat hy gereeld honde in die straat sien op soek na ietsie te ete.<\/p>\n

\u201cDie honde kom ruik hier tussen die gemors rond of hul iets kan kry om te eet. Dit is baie hartseer. Ek sal probeer so nou en dan brood gee of van my honde se kos, maar almal ly en trek swaar. Ons mense, ons diere, kinders. Niemand word meer deesdae gespaar nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
