Vier mans van Beaufort-Wes vas na ‘gesteelde’ skaap in kattebak gevind is

Vier mans van Beaufort-Wes is vasgetrek nadat ’n vermoedelik gesteelde skaap in die kattebak van ’n motor gevind is.

Die mans is onlangs in hegtenis geneem en sou in die hof in Beaufort-Wes verskyn op ’n aanklag van veediefstal, luidens ’n polisieverklaring.

Die vier is tussen 34 en 39 jaar oud en is deur polisielede van die Sentraal-Karoo se K9-eenheid (Beaufort-Wes se honde-eenheid) by ’n padblokkade op die N1 naby Beaufort-Wes vasgetrek, sê kapt. Malcolm Pojie, ’n polisiewoordvoerder.

Water vir Kaapse boere uit Theewaterskloofdam gelaat

Posted on Leave a comment

Die sluise van die Theewaterskloofdam is sedert 1 November oop en sal oop bly vir die afsienbare toekoms totdat almal wat water vir besproeiing moet kry, dit ontvang het.

Die dam verskaf die meeste van die water aan die droogte geknelde Kaapse Skiereiland waar inwoners Woensdag gehoor het hulle kan reeds so vroeg as 18 Maart toustaan vir drinkwater. Dít sal gebeur indien “inwoners nie meer water spaar nie”.

Die departement van waterwese en sanitasie het Woensdag by navraag gesê: “Besproeiers aan Riviersonderend is geregtig op hul toewysing. Die vrylatings is egter verminder tot 60% van hul toewysing.”

Cape Town’s water crisis: driven by politics more than drought

Cape Town’s water crisis: driven by politics more than drought

Cape Town is hurtling towards “Day Zero”: the day taps run dry. This is expected in mid-May, just weeks after the city’s new water supplies are due.

Cape Town is quite used to surviving dry years. Water restrictions get it through and then dams refill, thanks to the wet years that usually follow.

But this time it’s different. Never in recorded history has Cape Town encountered a drought of such severity for three consecutive years.

DA al in 2011 gewaarsku oor waterkrisis

Die Stad Kaapstad kry vanuit opposisiegeledere behoorlik die wind van voor na sy besluit om ‘n sogenaamde droogteheffing in te stel.

Erika Botha-Rossouw, VF Plus-raadslid vir Stad Kaapstad, sê dit is onregverdig om nou deur ʼn heffing die inwoners te straf omdat hulle voldoen aan die oproep om water te bespaar, en die tyd het aangebreek dat die DA en sy Kaapstadse burgemeester Patricia de Lille opstaan en aanspreeklikheid vir die krisis aanvaar.

Botha-Rossouw sê dit druis in teen die aanvaarde beginsel dat gebruikers moet betaal vir dit wat hulle gebruik. Kapenaars moet nou betaal omdat hulle nie gebruik nie. Die VF Plus het teen die heffings gestem.

Kaap ontsoutingsproses verloop nie vlot

Kaapstad sal hul eerste ontsoutingsaanleg gereed hê net voordat damme in die stad gaan opdroog. Dit aldus Xanthea Limberg van die stad se burgemeesterskomitee rakende water en energie sake. Verbruikers sal egter moet saamleef daarmee dat water nie meer ‘n goedkoop kommoditeit gaan wees nie. Die skielike bekendmaking dat die ontsoutingsaanleg binnekort gereed gaan wees,..
