\u2019n Groep bewoners van die plaas Weltevrede in De Doorns is al byna sewe maande sonder water.<\/p>\n
\n Standard<\/i> het Vrydag 18 Maart die groep inwoners besoek. Hul huise is langs die woonbuurte Stofland en Lubisi gele\u00eb en word deur \u2019n groot sloot van di\u00e9 twee woonbuurte geskei. <\/p>\n
Volgens die plaasbewoners is hulle al die afgelope sewe maande sonder water. Hulle kry tans water van \u2019n gemeenskaplike kraan in Stofland. Boonop, wanneer hulle kinders van die buurt stuur om water te gaan haal, moet hulle die kinders betaal, s\u00ea hulle. <\/p>\n
Hulle moet R5 aan die kinders betaal vir elke 25 liter water wat hulle (die kinders) gaan haal. <\/p>\n
Elsa Witbooi wat op die plaas woon, verduidelik sy betaal sowat R100 om haar wasgoed te was omdat sy die kinders in die buurt moet stuur om genoeg water vir haar te gaan haal.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie kinders wil betaal wees. Hulle word gereeld afgesit (beroof<\/i>) en dan word ons water afgevat. Ons is pensioenarisse, ons kan nie elke dag betaal om water te gaan haal nie.\u201d <\/p>\n
Nog \u2019n inwoner Florence Sass s\u00ea dis onhigi\u00ebnies om sonder water klaar te kom. Hulle kan soms nie was nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns dank die Here ons het nog nie Covid gehad nie, want ons sou nie oorleef het nie. Ons toilette kan nie spoel nie, dit is veiliger om bos toe te gaan,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n
Die bewoners het vroe\u00ebr van \u2019n boorgat op die plaas gebruik gemaak, maar dit het sedertdien onklaar geraak.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns kan doodgaan, want hier is \u2019n paar van ons wat diabete is en chroniese siektes het. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns stem vir die raadslede en die munisipaliteit, maar hulle wil nie vir ons bystaan nie. Hulle s\u00ea vir ons die huise is op private grond, maar as dit stemtyd is, dan is hulle hier voor jou deur,\u201d s\u00ea Witbooi.<\/p>\n
Die groep beweer die munisipaliteit het hulle aan die begin van die krisis bygestaan, maar het die afgelope tydperk geen hulp aangebied nie.<\/p>\n
By navraag het die Breedevallei-munisipaliteit (BVM) ges\u00ea Weltevrede is private eiendom (\u2019n plaas) en die munisipaliteit lewer nie dienste op plase nie.<\/p>\n
Volgens JP Myburg, kommunikasiebeampte van die BVM, is daar wel \u2019n boorgat wat water aan die munisipale huise langsaan verskaf het. Dit is foutief, maar word tans herstel. <\/p>\n
\u201cDaar is in die tussentyd wel water aangel\u00ea om die munisipale huise water te gee (uit die reservoir) en sover ek kon uitvind, kom haal die Weltevrede-mense daar water.\u201d<\/p>\n
Myburg s\u00ea die afgelope paar weke het die munisipaliteit gesukkel om reservoir-vlakke te lig wat dan weer veroorsaak dat die boonste gedeelte van die woonbuurt nie water het nie. Die reservoir is egter nou weer voller. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns het afsetpunte gehad waar water op gegewe tye gehaal kon word en ons het di\u00e9 gemeenskap bygestaan waar ons kon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens inligting deur Standard<\/i> bekom het hierdie plaas in die laaste paar jaar verskeie kere van eienaar verwissel. Die koerant is onderweg om uit te vind aan wie dit behoort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
