Electricity is off in Humansdorp CBD

July 26, 2012

The Kouga Municipality is experiencing problems with a transformer in Humansdorp. The municipal electricians are however busy with repair work.

It is mainly the CBD area that is affected and not the residential areas. The following streets will be without power this morning: Matt Melville and the surrounding industrial area, and sections of Queen Street, Piet Uys Street and King Street.

The “arcade” in Main Street will also be without power. The remainder of the CBD will have limited power. Business owners are asked to use power sparingly to prevent their electricity from tripping. The power supply is expected to be restored fully by 1 pm today.

DA maak n verskil in Humansdorp

May 16, 2012

Op 8 Mei 2012, omstreeks 13h00, is n Mecedes Benz motor (n oue) in die informele nedersetting van 7de Laan deur n moedswillige jongman aan die brand gesteek. Dit het gevaar ingehou vir die ongeveer 10 huise in die omgewing, omdat daar nog ook brandstof in die motor se tenk was. Raadslid Campher het onmiddelik die brandweer en die polisie ontbied wat die brand betyds kon blus. Dit sou tragies wees as hulle nie betyds was om die brand te blus nie.

Mervyn Stuurman, n inwoner van die informele nedersetting,Donkerhoek in wyk 4, het kom aansoek doen vir n RDP huis. Nadat sy ID nommer ingepons is, het dit aan die lig gekom dat die arm man alreeds eiendom ter waarde van R 1 725 000 in Plettenberg baai besit. Dit was vir hom n skok, want hy was nog nooit in sy lewe in Plettenberg baai nie. Die saak word deur ons LP Elza van Lingen, ondersoek.

Op Donderdag, 3 Mei 2012 is n suksesvolle IDP vergadering vir wyke 4 en 5 in die Kruisfontein gemeenskapsaal gehou. Die Burgermeester en sy komitee was nie teenwoordig nie ,en die wyk 4 raadslid,Freddy Campher,moes as voorsitter tydens die vergadering optree. Daar was vreeslike aanvallende vrae vanaf ANC lede uit die twee wyke, tydens die vergadering gevra.

In Maak ‘n Las, Kruisfontein, is ‘n bejaarde vrou op 1 Mei 2012 oorlede.Haar begrafnis was beplan vir Saterdag, 5 Mei 2012. Ongelukkig was die pad na die woning so onbegaanbaar, dat die lykswa nie eers die lyk kon gaan oplaai nie. Rdl Campher het op kort kennisgewing die bestuurder wat verantwoordelik is vir paaie, gevra om die pad na die woning tog net rybaar te maak voor die begrafnis. Hy het spoedig reageer, en die pad is herstel.

The DA is committed to our schools

May 9, 2012

The DA is proud of all Grade 12 learners and teachers of Lungiso High school in Humansdorp who attended school during the March holidays. Matric pupils were sitting in class and writing exams to make up for valuable teaching time that was lost during the first quarter of the year.

During the first weeks of the 2012 school year SADTU teachers were on strike because of dissatisfaction with salaries. This meant that pupils had a late start to what is their most important school year.

The hard work of the learners will be rewarded and we wish them all the best for their important June exams coming up.

This is the type of people we want to raise in our country, children that will work hard in spite of their circumstances.

The recent transport strike also resulted in 320 pupils not being able to attend school and again robbing pupils of the right to the quality education they deserve.

The high school which lies on top of the hill in KwaNomzamo in Humansdorp is also in a terrible condition, with broken desks and chairs and no sports field.

There are more than 800 pupils and not nearly enough desks to seat everyone.

Our students need people who can deliver their right to a better life.

Skok as skool sluit

May 2, 2012

Die ouers en beheerraad van Graslaagte Primere skool het ‘n dringende vergadering gehad wat gehou was op die 25 April 2012. Die vergadering het besluit dat die skool gesluit moet word weens dat die Departement van Onderwys nie hul pligte na kom nie.

Raadslid Eugene Groep het die skoolhoof Mnr R Geswint gespreek ten opsigte van die vergadering . Hy het meegedeel dat die skool wel gaan sluit op die 26 April 2012 en dat die skool weer heropen gaan word op die 07 Mei 2012 .

Ongeveer 1423 leerlinge word geraak as gevolg van hierdie proses. Daar is 46 poste vir onderwysers maar slegs 40 poste is gevul. Daar is tans 5 tydelike onderwysers wat op die skool uithelp en is vanaf Januarie tot op hede het hulle geen geld ontvang . Hierdie inligting is aan ons MP Elsa van Linge oorgedra en sy sal die saak verder hanteer.

The community are very grateful for the initiative and has promised their support to the Democratic Alliance as this is an ANC stronghold.

Councillor Prinsloo also took the media to this ward to inform the public what is happening there. The community hall has been totally vandalized and public amenities are basically non existant.
