Pellissier hou asem op
LIENTJIE MENTZ
Daar is lig aan die einde van die tonnel vir inwoners van Pellissier wat al jare lank vra vir ’n bykomende water-reservoir om die onseker watertoevoer van die woonbuurt te verbeter
Bouwerk het begin aan die Pellissier-reservoir, waarvoor daar al jare in die Mangaung-metro begroot word
Die geotegniese ondersoek op Brandkop naby die bestaande watertenk het nou begin Paul Kotze, DA-wyksraadslid, sê dié ondersoek moet bepaal hoe groot die reservoir kan wees en wat op die terrein moontlik is Dit volg op ’ n jarelange stryd van inwoners van Pellissier wat daaronder ly die oomblik as daar probleme met die watertoevoer vanaf Vaal Central Water is Dié woonbuurt se water raak eerste op terwyl water van die reservoirs hier uitvloei na woonbuurte in die suide
van Bloemfontein
“Die oprigting van ’ n reservoir sal die eerste nuwe ontwikkeling van waterinfrastruktuur van die Mangaung-metro in twee dekades wees, ” sê Kotze
Hy sê die projek wat uiteindelik begin het, volg op jarelange druk van die DA en plaaslike woonbuurtverenigings soos Trots Pellissier, asook toegewyde inwoners
“Hoewel die projek in beginsel jare gelede deur die Mangaung-metro goedgekeur is, het die projek nooit tot uitvoering gekom weens die metro se voortdurende geldelike onstabiliteit en onvermoë om voorwaardelike toelae van die nasionale departement van water en sanitasie te bekom,” sê Kotze
Hy verduidelik die beplande reservoir met ’ n kapasiteit van tussen 20 en 25 miljoen liter kan na verwagting water aan sowat 17 800 inwoners van Pellissier en Lourierpark verskaf en ook help met die verskaffing van water aan die informele woonbuurte in die suide van Mangaung
Versoekskrif eis optrede teen besetters
LIENTJIE MENTZ
Inwoners van Noordhoek in Bloemfontein is moedeloos oor die misdaad op die ou sokkerklubterrein in Ryk Tulbachstraat
Hulle wil nou met ’ n versoekskrif die metro dwing om aandag te gee
Normarie du Plessis het ’ n aanlyn versoekskrif namens die gemeenskap geskep om te vra dat die bus en vervalle gebou wat ’ n toevlugsoord vir vermeende misdadigers in die woonbuurt is, verwyder en die gebou afgebreek word
Selmé Pretorius, DA-wyksraadslid, het reeds in Maart ’ n versoek gerig om ’ n voorlegging te doen aan die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir openbare veiligheid, Lulama Titi-Odili, oor ’ n plan vir die beveiliging van die leë munisipale eiendom in Noordhoek wat onwettig bewoon word
“Die DA in Mangaung glo daar moet deurslaggewende optrede wees teen die krisis van onwettige eiendomsbesetting oor die stad heen,” het sy in ’ n nuusverklaring gesê
Pretorius sê sedert sy die vergadering versoek het, was daar nog geen optrede nie, en kon sy ook nie ’ n vergadering met Titi-Odili gereël kry nie
“Ondanks voortdurende klagtes van
Die verlate bus in Ryk Tulbachstraat,wat dikwels deur besetters gebruik word
die inwoners, het die metro se wetstoepassingafdeling nie opgetree nie en is daar gereeld onwettige besetting van
die gebou en die bus”
Pretorius sê mense bly gereeld binne die bus en maak selfs daarbinne vuur
“Die onwettige besetting van munisipale eiendom skend die regte van wetsgehoorsame inwoners, wat verdien om in ’ n veilige omgewing te woon, ” sê
Pretorius
Sowat 197 inwoners het teen Woensdag 25 Junie reeds die versoekskrif onderteken

Man who takes photo in restroom convicted
TEBOHO SETENA
A Bloemfontein man found guilty on charges relating to child pornography will have his name placed on the National Register for Sex Offenders (NRSO), in addition to a sentence of three years ' imprisonment
The Bloemfontein Magistrates' Court sentenced Andre Meyer (29) on Friday, 20 June
Capt Loraine Earle, spokesperson for the provincial police, said Meyer's sentencing was a result of an investigation conducted by the Free State Serial and Electronic Crime Investigations (Seci) unit in Bloemfontein She said compelling evidence included testimony by two of Meyer's underage victims, who positively identified the accused Earle said an incident involving two boys occurred in the restrooms at a Bloem-
fontein school on 29 February last year
"Following the court procedures, Andre Meyer entered a guilty plea on charge of creating child pornography in violation of Section 24(b) of the Films and Publications Act He was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for five years His name will also be placed on the National Register for Sex Offenders, declared unfit to work with children," said Earle It emerged the crime was committed during a school's sports event "The two boys entered a restroom when an adult male unlocked the door for them While they were relieving themselves, the man discreetly took a photo of one of them The second boy witnessed the act and immediately alerted his friend When confronted, the man claimed it was a joke, deleted the image in their presence and left the
scene The victim reported the matter to his mother, who attended the event The suspect was later identified by the boys as a contract chef working in the school's hostel kitchen," said Earle She said a case of crimen injuria was initially opened at the Park Road Police Station in Bloemfontein Earle said that due to the serious nature of the incident, the case was transferred to Capt Bez Bezuidenhout of the provincial Seci unit
"Upon further investigation, and to ensure the severity of the offence was appropriately addressed, Section 24(b) of the Films and Publications Act was added It pertains to the use of a child in the creation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) This ensured the suspect could be properly listed on the NRSO and barred from working with children in the future "

A golf day to be hosted on Tuesday, 1 July, aims to raise funds for Bloemfontein’s search and rescue expert who will attend the World Rescue Challenge (WRC) in Karlovac, Croatia.
Julius Fleischman was chosen to be an assessor, representing the South African Medical Rescue Organisation (Samro) from 9 to 14 September
Having already been an competitor and assessor of the WRC in many countries, including England, America, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal, Brazil, Romania, France and the United Arab Emirates, Fleischman has a wealth of knowledge that he wants to plough back into the local rescue community
He explains that the World Rescue Organisation (WRO) annually hosts the WRC, which brings together the world’s top rescue and medical teams
to compete, learn and share best practices “This prestigious event not only showcases technical excellence, but also fosters innovation in extrication and pre-hospital and hospital care techniques,” Fleischman explains
Teams from 36 countries across the world first have to prove themselves in local competitions before the best competitors take on the WRC
“Our local rescuers, working for the state and privately, are really good In the next five years, I want to plough
to Croatia
back my knowledge to benefit Samro members To me my work is not just a passion, it is a real calling I am committed to leveraging the advanced knowledge, international best practices and innovative techniques I have gained to enhance the development of rescue operations here in South Africa”
Fleischman says the WRC was initiated in 1999 and has provided a platform for international teams and assessors from across the globe Apart from a very tough three-day-challenge, participants and assessors also attend workshops
Fleischman was appointed as one of three deputy extrication leads at this year ’ s WRO Along with Carlos Amaro from Portugal and Paul Hamer from the United Kingdom, he is entrusted with further developing global extrication standards and assessing processes, safety frameworks and the ongoing evolution of the WRC
