We live in squalorSqualor - noun: the quality or condition of being squalid; filth and wretchedness. Etymology: Latin: foulness,
akin tosqualere, to be filthy.
When members of the National Council of
Provinces start to traverse th e roads in
Greater Tu batse Mun icipality next week,
they just ha ve to look around t o see that
the pristine African bush in our area is not
so pristine anymore.
It seems th at a major problem exists
with regards to waste management in the
are a, not only from the a uth orities side,
but from residents a s well. Driving to
Ohrigstad from Burgersfort r eveals that
all kinds of stuff, from empties to used
baby nappies are dum ped at a picanic spotfor travellers . Make no mista ke, nobody
can rest there a ny more, (front page) as
the ha rdwood trees ha ve been butchered
for firewood.
The rubbish bin ha s been cleaned ages
ago and th e debris on the ground, well ...
never. A large number of preservatives for
grapes packed in cartons are a lso dumped
on the site. Pads treat ed with Sodium
Metabisulphite were dumped in a large
quant ity, as well as ma inly empty sachets
of a pheromone-based insecticide used to
keep all kinds of insects from fruit . The
who and the why remain a mystery.
When grapes ar e packed in a carton with
Sodium Metabisulphite, the chemical
reacts with th e humidity in the box to
release Sulphur Dioxide that keeps the
grapes fresh and looking good longer.In Bur gersfort town itself residents
dump all sorts of stuff anywhere they like.
One of the worst spots is next to th e road
to Mooifontein where vagrants scrounge
the debris for usa ble stuff. A large
quantity of broken tiles is also dumped on
this site together with household and
garden was te. Oorbietjie street looks a s if
it is th e official dum ping site for building
debris, ( together with a broken
supermarket trolley), while Steelpoort
does not look much better as Plat inum
Gazette ha s discovered that broken glass
is dumped in large quantities next to the
river on the way to Eerstegeluk.
Residents just sigh, a large number of
them choosing not to see wha t is going on
around th em, others are simply not caring,
shru gging , saying tha t is Bur gersfort foryou and oth ers complaining tha t it is too
much h assle t o get a permit for th e official
dumping site.

number of Mr Sadiki he is on site, she said. Mr Sadiki told the newspaper that the machinery will be
moving again by next week after a stoppage of about a week. He did not want to discuss the rea sons for
the st oppage, just sa ying a few issues h ad to be resolved. En quiring from the commu nity what t hey know
about the project they said that people did not get pay, but the company has undertaken to pay them by
Friday (today), so probably work will sta rt aga in next week. They told the newspa per tha t this is the t hird

Ons wil baie graag vir Jacobus Muller van Lebowa Paneelkloppers bedank vir sy hulp,
bystand, bedagsaamheid en vriendelikheid tydens ons onlangse motorongeluk.
Hy was n ligpunt in n m oeilike en slegte onder vinding. Ons is t rots om iema nd soos
hy in ons gemeenskap te h.

Soccer with no signal?Burgersfort is so poor with television signal. I t star ted when they intr oduced the
satellite dishes around town.
Then th e signal was tempered an d lost forever, the dish adverts grew huge. But now
for some who cannot afford a dish or sustain a monthly fee of compact channels, it is
hard t o watch whatever is free.
Cant somebody please do something for the community to wat ch at least t he basic
channels like e-tv and SABC channels before the Soccer World Cup.
