Inwoners in Roodewal is keelvol oor rioolverstoppings wat byna weekliks in hul woonbuurt voorkom. <\/p>\n
Dit blyk dat rioolprobleme stadig maar seker deel raak van die \u201cnormale\u201d gemeenskapskwessies of probleme in die dorp. Volgens Breedevallei Onafhanklik (BO) staar Worcester en sy gemeenskappe daagliks rioolverstoppings en -verspoelings in die gesig, en dit is onaanvaarbaar. Die BO s\u00ea hy word aanhoudend om navrae vir hulp uit Zwelethemba, Avianpark en Worcester-Wes genader \u2013 en veral van die munisipale woonstelle in Roodewal en Riverview, waar mense saam met die stank, vrot, vuil en ongesonde rioolwater moet lewe. <\/p>\n
\u201cVlie\u00eb, muggies en muskiete vreet ons lewendig op \u2013 genoeg is genoeg!\u201d Kan dit opgelos word en wat moet gedoen word?<\/b><\/p>\n
Volgens die BO glo hy sonder twyfel dat die probleme opgelos kan word. <\/p>\n
\u201cKry die nodige kundigheid in sodat ons die probleme kan verstaan,\u201d meen die BO.<\/p>\n
Die party is van mening die hoofrede vir die rioolverstoppings is swak beplanning en geen instandhouding van die rioolstelsel nie. Hy s\u00ea die Roodewal-woonstelle is in die jare sestig vir baie minder mense as wat tans daar woon ontwerp, en die munisipaliteit se onvermo\u00eb om die behoefte te hanteer, plaas dus direkte druk op die rioolstelsel. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie meer as 20 000 mense op ons behuisingswaglys en die slakkepas van behuisingsprojekte afhandel, is die oorsaak dat buurte soos Riverview, Roodewal, OVD, Tuindorp, Zwelethemba en Avianpark oorbevolk word. Hierdie nalatigheid van die BVM se bestuur sal die belastingbetalers etlike miljoene kos \u2013 geld wat vir ander noodsaaklike dienste gebruik kon word,\u201d s\u00ea die BO.<\/p>\n
Verder verwerp die BO die BVM se aantygings dat die gemeenskap hul eie rioolstelsel \u201csaboteer\u201d. Volgens die party sien hulle hoe swaar di\u00e9 gemeenskappe onder die gevolge van rioolverspoelings ly en hoe siek veral kinders word. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie BO is dankbaar vir die vertroue wat die gemeenskap in ons plaas; ons is altyd daar. Sagte probleme soos verhoudings tussen die inwoners en munisipaliteit is moeiliker om op te los as gevolg van grootskaalse vertrouensbreuk. Mense bel byvoorbeeld die klagtelyne om \u2019n verspoeling aan te meld, en dit neem dae se opvolg om enige reaksie of diens te ontvang,\u201d verduidelik hulle.<\/p>\n
Hulle voeg by hulle is toegewyd om die druk op die koalisie tussen die DA en die VF+ en die administrasie te hou om sodoende te probeer verseker dat die BVM daadwerklike oplossings binne die volgende drie maande moet implementeer. <\/p>\n
Volgens Christie \u201cOu Pen\u201d Fortuin, \u2019n inwoner van L-blok 7 in Roodewal, moet hy daagliks die stink reuk inasem. <\/p>\n
Fortuin, wat op die grondvloer woon, verduidelik dat die rioolwater dikwels tot voor sy voordeur en agterdeur spoel, en dan is hy in sy huis vasgekeer. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea ook die inwoners van Roodewal word nie ernstig opgevat nie. Volgens die inwoners moet \u2019n oplossing gevind word, want \u201cdis onmenslik om so te lewe\u201d. Margaret Swarts, \u2019n raadslid in Roodewal wat haar hande sedert verlede jaar vol het met rioolprobleme, word daagliks uitgeskel oor die probleem. Swarts verduidelik dat sy byna elke dag rioolprobleme aanhoor en ook self gaan inspekteer waar dit is. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit is die munisipaliteit se werk; ons hier op grondvlak kan niks uitrig nie. Ons meld die probleme elke dag aan, en as hulle uiteindelik hier aankom, kyk hulle net na die riool en dan gaan hulle weer,\u201d verduidelik Swarts. <\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea die gemeenskap is moeg en stel voor dit moet as \u2019n gesondheidskwessie gesien word aangesien baie mense as gevolg van die riool wat lank staan, siek word. Sy voeg by dat die BVM geen chemikalie\u00eb gebruik om die stank weg te vat nie.<\/p>\n
Maandagoggend, terwyl Standard <\/i>die besoedelde gebied besoek het, het \u2019n inwoner vertel dat sy haar dogtertjie hospitaal toe moet neem nadat sy weens die riool wat konstant voor hulle deur verbyvloei, siek geword het.<\/p>\n
Die water wat veronderstel is om weg te vloei, word deur vullis in die pype vasgekeer. Volgens die inwoners kom die BVM nooit uit om dit skoon te maak nie. Een inwoner s\u00ea aangesien werkloosheid so \u2019n groot probleem is, sal hulle die hele plek self skoonmaak en dit versamel vir \u2019n salaris of vergoeding van die BVM.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Navraag is aan die BVM gestuur, maar teen druktyd het Standard<\/i> nog geen antwoord ontvang nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
