Nog reën verhoed herstelwerkDALEEN FOUCHÉ

NOG reën word voorspelvir die komende weekwat beteken dat herstel-

werk van die Cogmanskloofpasverder vertraag gaan word.Die R62 tussen Montagu en

Ashton is beskadig ná die swaarreënwatMaandag enDinsdag (6en7Augustus)gevalhet.DieKei-sie-, Kingna- en Cogmansrivierehethuloewersoorstroomenver-skeie paaie, brûe en infrastruk-tuur beskadig. Die R62 na Mon-

tagu is gesluit en die dorp wasvandie buitewêreld afgesny.Diepad is verledeVrydag (10Augus-tus) tydelik tot ’n bruikbare toe-stand herstel en vir verkeer oop-gestel. Hoewel swaar reën oordie naweek geval het, het die ri-vierenieverderoorhulwalle ge-bars nie.Al-Ameen Kafaar, woordvoer-

der van dieWes-Kaapse departe-ment van vervoer en publiekewerke, wat verantwoordelik isvir die onderhoud van die R62,sê die padword tans op ’n gereel-

de basis met teer opgevul sodatdie tweerigting-verkeer tussenAshton en Montagu kan voort-gaan. Kafaar sê die aanhouden-de reën veroorsaak dat die de-partement nog nie die omvangvan die skade aan die pad konvasstel nie en ook nie wanneerdie pad in sy geheel herstel kanword nie.Die Langeberg Munisipaliteit

kon teengister (13Augustus)nie’n beraming van die vloedskademaak of ’n vergelyking tref metvorige jare se vloede nie. Maar

Ronelle Preston, ’n Montagu-in-woner, sê die skade was dié jaarbaie minder as met vorige vloe-de. Sy skryf dit toe aan die op-ruimwerk wat die LangebergMunisipaliteit in die rivierbed-dings gedoen het (“Rivierskoon-maak skop gou af”, 7 Februarie2012).’n Rioolpyp wat verlede week

Mareletta van Zyl-Wohlfar-ter, voorsittervandieMontagu-en Ashtontoerisme, sê vele on-dernemings op Montagu watverblyf aan toeriste en besoe-

kers verskaf, moes besprekingskanselleer. Sy sê toeriste selfhet ook besprekings gekansel-leer omdat hulle nie by Monta-gu kon uitkom nie.

Van Zyl-Wohlfarter sê baietoerisme-ondernemings het nienet ’n verlies aan inkomste gelynie, maar het ook skade aan ei-endom gehadwatdeurdievloedveroorsaak is.

Syverteldatophaareieplaas,Simonskloof, paaie verspoel isen dat die kampterrein gesluitmoes word.

“Ons dink die vloed het mas-siewe skade aandie dorp enom-liggende plase aangerig.”

Die personeel en gaste vanSanbona Natuurreservaat bui-te Montagu is verlede Dinsdag

as voorsorgmaatreël ontruim.Fred Stow, bestuurder van

Wat ’n fees

In samewerking met die

Bonnievale-watertenks:Munisipaliteitbeantwoord vraeDALEEN FOUCHÉ

DIE Breederivier Gazette het ver-lede week berig van Bonnieva-le-inwoners se kommer oor

twee van die dorp se drie watertenks(“Verwaarloosde watertenks bekom-mer”, 7 Augustus 2012).Soyisile Mokweni (SM), bestuurder

van die Langeberg Munisipaliteit, hetas volgopdieGazettesevraegereageer:

)) Is die munisipaliteit bewus vankabeldiefstalbydie tweekleinerwater-tenks op Bonnievale?[SM]: Ja. Kabeldiefstal kom gereeld

voor. Dit affekteer die telemetrie watveroorsaakdatdiereservoirby tyeoor-loop. Hierdie kabels is al verskeie kerevervang.

)) Hoe affekteer dit diemunisipali-teit se vermoë om skoon water aan in-woners te verskaf?[SM]: Die telemetrie het geen betrek-

king op die suiweringsproses nie.)) Beplan die munisipaliteit om

veiligheidshekke om die watertenks teplaas?[SM]: Omheinings was aangebring,

maar is onwettig deur die gemeenskapverwyder.Die deksels word wel gesluit.Die een reservoir se dak moet ver-

vang word en is dit op die 2013-2014-be-groting.

)) Hoekom is Bonnievale se watersoms modderig?[SM]: Modderige water kom party-

keer voor ná pypbreke. Die lyne wordgespoel om te poog om die modderigewater uit die pype te verwyder.Dit gebeur wel dat inwoners besig is

om water te gebruik wanneer die pyp-breek plaasvind.

)) Is die water steeds veilig om tedrink?[SM]: Alhoewel diewater bakteriolo-

gies nie onveilig is om te drink nie, salons die inwoners aanraai om tewag totdie lyne skoon gespoel is.

)) Beplan die munisipaliteit omverbeterings aan te bring om die mod-derige water te voorkom?[SM]: Dit is moeilik om verbeteringe

aan te bring om pypbarste te voorkom,omdat ons nie weet waar die volgendepypbars gaan voorkom nie. Pypbarstekomvoorweensverouderingvanpype.Diemunisipaliteit het reeds die afge-

lope drie jaar sowat R15 miljoen span-deer om ou pype te vervang. Daar is’n projekaansoek by die Municipal In-frastructure Grant (MIG) ingedien om’n verdere projek te registreer om nogpype te vervang.

’n Derde sakekamer vir die LangebergDALEEN FOUCHÉ

SAKELUI op Robertson het Dinsdag (31Julie)diewielaandierolgesitom’nsake-kamer op die dorp te stig.Dit volg kort op die hakke van die stig

van Bonnievale se sakekamer. Die Bon-nievale Sakekamerhet op 18 Julie sy eer-ste amptelike verga-dering gehou, waarty-dens die grondwetaanvaar en ’nkomiteegekies is.Die Langeberg Sakekamer, die be-

staande sakekamer, is aktief op Monta-gu.Gideon Joubert, ’n Robertson-sake-

man, sê ongeveer 40 belangstellendeshetdie vergadering bygewoon om die opsievan ’n sakekamer vir die dorp te be-spreek.

Joubert sê dat die Robertson-sakeka-mer “nog in oorweging” is. Hy sê menseop die vergadering was “baie entoesias-ties” oor die idee van ’n sakekamer enhetverder saamgestemdat ’n sakekamer’n “noodsaaklikheid” vir die dorp is. Hyverduidelik dat dit nodig is dat daar ’n

organisasie op Robert-sonbestaanwatdiebe-lange van sakeonder-nemings bevorder.’n Loodskomitee is

tydens die vergade-ring gekies om intus-

sen op ’n grondwet vir die sakekamer tebesluit. Die vergadering is deur JannieKrugervandieAfrikaanseHandelsinsti-tuut (AHI) toegespreek oor die voordelewat ’n sakekamervir plaaslike sakemen-se inhou.Dievolgendevergaderingvirdie loods-

komitee is op Dinsdag 14 Augustus.

Groot hart: Angelique Gerber, beter bekend as Clara van 7de Laan wat ookdie aanbieder van Boer soek ’n vrou is, het die kinders van die Herberg Kinderhuisverras met ’n besoek. “Sy is ‘n lieflike mens van binne en buite wat nie omgegeehet om die kinders se vrae geduldig te beantwoord nie of om drukkies uit te deelnie,” sê Petru Uren, bemarker vir die Kinderhuis.

Breederivier Gazette Briewe/Letters Dinsdag 14 Augustus 20126

Another sideof the huntingdebatePHIL CURTIS from Robertson writes:In reply to Jo Orpen’s letter regarding

the controversial photo of the young girlwith her first buck (“Shocked at photo”,7 August 2012), I would like to say thatI agree with her contention that theshooting accidents she mentioned couldhave been prevented.Had her cousins been properly

schooled in the use of firearms from ayoung age, the accidents would have no-doubt been averted.Furthermore, regarding the ability of

youngsters to shoot accurately, I wouldsuggest that next time the WynlandsbranchofKaapJaghasashootingcompe-tition, Jo comes down asmy guest, whenshe will see that many of the youngstersthere can shoot more accurately than Ican – and I’ve hadmanyyears of huntingexperience.Apart from this there have been other

letters insinuating that hunting is insome way cruel, unnatural and anti-con-servation.When we speak of ethical hunting

(whichis, Iamsure,what theyounggirl’sparents are trying to instil in her, other-wise they would not have proudly dis-played her first success), all of these in-sinuations are false in the extreme.There can be nothing more cruel than

herding frightened animals into an abat-toir, and yet almost everyone eats meatin one formor anotherwithout objectingto supermarkets advertising meat pro-ducts.When an animal is hunted ethical-ly it suffers far less stress and sufferingthan a slaughtered one.Similarly, it is Man that has removed

the natural predators that help to keepantelope populations under control sothat they do not destroy their own envi-ronmentbyover-grazing, soMan’s inter-vention by ethical means is required forpreservation of the species and the habi-tat.Somepeople, in their endeavours to be

“politically correct”, have convenientlyforgotten that they acquired their cur-rentstatus, farmsandotherinheritancesby dint of ancestors who knew how tohandlefirearmssafelyandcorrectly,andthat perhaps it behoves us to keep thosetraditions alive so that we can maintainthe standards of civilisation as we knowit.

Die krag van ’n vrouMET die feesvieringe van Vrouedagregoordie landhetekopnuutbesefwat-ter impak vroue op ons land het.Baievrouewordvereervirhulmerk-

waardigheid en die veranderinge wathul teweeg gebring het, maar iets watopvallend was en my altyd sal bybly,isdiesterktevan’nvrou,veral inuitersmoeilike tye.As ek aan die vroue inmy lewe dink,

diegene wat deel was van my kinder-dae, opvoeding en veral inmy tienerja-re, word ek bewus van die grootheidvan krag wat versteek is in die soge-naamde “swakker geslag”.Veralmymaenmyoumahet ’n groot

rol gespeel, my rolmodelle as dit komby die kategorie waar sterk vrouensvereer word. Diegene wat my altyd in-spireer het.Hoewel ek niemy ouma baie lank ge-

ken het nie, sal dit wat ek van haar ge-sienhet, altydvoortleef inmygedagtes.Ek dink nou aanmy kinderdae, ek was

altyd die een wat rondom my ma ge-draaihetasofekhaar laatlamwas.Oralwaar symoes gaan,wou ek altyd saam.Ek kon so baie by haar leer en veral

insituasieswaarekmyselfniekonhelpnie, was sy altyd daar. Selfs in haar eiekrisisse het ek nie eenkeer verbitterin-ge of kwaad in haar gesien nie.Sy was nie eens terneergedruk in

haar siekte nie en was ’n vegter tot opdie einde.Ek het altyd vir myself gesê ek sal

nooit die sterkte na vore kan bringwatsy in haar gehad het nie.Tot ek self dinge moes deurmaak in

my lewe en in die proses sterker ander-

kant uitgekom het. So baie dinge ge-beur in ons lewens, dinge wat aandagverg en moeilik hanteerbaar is en watjy nie weet of jy dit gaan maak of nie.Sjoe,maar as ek terug kykwat ek die

afgelope twee jaarmoesdeurmaak,kanek myself ’n klop op die skouer gee.Maar inmyeiekragkonekdit nie doennie.Baie kerewou ek net wegvlug van si-

tuasies en die kortpad kies, want dieeen krisis was nog nie verby nie, toewas die ander een daar.Maar ek moes myself toelaat om

daardeur te gaan sodat ekmy eie sterk-te as vrou na vore kon bring - en wassoms ná alles verbaas in myself.Daaromwil ek elke sterk vrou in die

WorkingtogetherWITHextremeweather hitting the Lange-berg last week and more bad weather al-readyonit’s way,Langebergresidentsarereminded of how fragile a human life isin the face of extreme weather.But residents are also reminded of how

well people work together in the face ofdanger and adversity.Over52rescueworkers fromallover the

Western Cape gathered in the Langebergto join the search for Mirriam Cekiso, anambulance driver from Montagu whoseemergencymedical services (EMS) outpa-tient vehicle was swept away with theflooding river.Helicopters were called out and profes-

sional divers are continuing the search.And while professionals are searching,

municipal workers worked through windand rain to clear the Cogmanskloof Passfor drivers.But what is there to do for the ordinary

citizen in this challenging time?Theanswer is togiveandgivegenerous-

ly.The Langeberg has an opportunity to

show that its citizens care about one ano-ther.If you are sitting under a blanket, read-

ingthis, thinkabout thosewhodonotevenhave a jersey. If you are full after a re-centmeal, think about thosewhohavenoteaten for a day.But do not just leave it at thinking.

Jump into action and give as generouslyas you can.

THISweek in theBolandGazettewebsiteopinion poll, online readers were askedif they think that mob justice is right?Readers answered with a resounding

WE ARE CELEBRATINGOUR1st ANNIVERSARY

A year has passed since we firstopened our doors, and we would liketo thank all our customers for theirwonderful support during the pastsuccessful year.

As is often the case, with all the good, there isalways a bit of sad…we have to say goodbye to ourchef, Zandi Beetge. Zandi and her family arerelocating to Bloemfontein, and we wish them allthe best for the future.

We would like to thank Zandi, for all her hard workduring this period, from setting up our kitchen tothe training of our staff.With this knowledge sharing,our staff has become the proud and professionalwaitrons and chefs they are today. By allowing themthe opportunity to gain so much experience andexpertise under her watchful eye, they can nowcook and prepare all items on our menus flawlesslyon their own.This will ensure that we will be able tocontinue providing quality and delicious meals toour guests on a consistent basis.

Thank you for this, you will be sorely missed!

It has always been our philosophy to give something back to the community in celebration of abirthday.This year, we have decided to, give back to the children of theHerberg Children’s Home inRobertson.The winemaker of Springfield Estate makes the most superb red blend called Thunderchild,of which the name has been very appropriately chosen – the children have been described beautifully:

“These children are nature’s wonders who fight through the most threatening and thundering clouds – children that overcomethe darkness with the light and beauty and power of an electrical storm, in such a manner that we who deal with them, oftenstand amazed by their ability to shine brightly after darkness, trauma, hurt and longing.They are in the real sense trueThunderchildren”.

These children have been removed from their parents’ care, as the circumstances at each home presented a variety ofsocial problems.The cause is heart-warming and it has been very successful to date.

Every child deserves the best opportunity and chance of becoming someone great,and for the months of August and September 2012, we would like to invite everyone to come and enjoya bottle (or more!) of Thunderchild at our restaurant.The profit made on each bottle ofThunderchild, will be donated to the education fund of Herberg Children’s Home inRobertson. Come and drink for the children!

FOR OUR OTHER BIRTHDAY SPECIALS, PLEASE ENQUIRE IN STORE!THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT, WE HOPE TOCELEBRATE ANOTHER GREAT YEAR!
