Fearful owners shut shop doorsANNETTE THERON

Business owners in Caledon closed theirdoors on Thursday (6 December) when teargas, used to disperse protesters in front ofthe town hall, caused a frantic scene inPlein Street.

The illegal protest, attended by 150 residentsof Zwelitsha,was peaceful at first, but the tour-ism bureau and traffic office’s windows weresmashed after tear gas was used by police inan effort to disperse the crowd. Loud shoutingerupted and protesters ran through PleinStreet, prompting shop owners to close theirdoors.A shop manager said she tried to remain

calm, but her heart was beating in her throat.“Pedestrians ran into our store because theywere scared. I told everyone to remain calm.We waited until the crowd dispersed and thenopened our doors and continued trading.”Another shop owner said that “just about

everybody” in Plein Street closed their doorsbecause they were scared. “I feared that my

shop windows might be broken and lootingcould occur, but the police response was mostimpressive and they managed to disperse thecrowd.”No further property damage was reported.Protesters gathered at the town hall to de-

mand basic services. The intersection atVleiview was also blocked with burning de-bris. “The municipality moved us from Site-saviwa to Zwelitsha and we are worse off. Wewill keep on protesting until we get toilets andelectricity,” one protester said.Caroline Wood, chairperson of the Theewa-

terskloof Concerned Residents’ Committee,said that basic services such as sanitation arethe responsibility of council and that the mu-nicipality is awareof thegrievancesof the resi-dents of Zwelitsha.Thecommitteereceivedaletteron30Novem-

ber fromChris Punt, executivemayor, inform-ing them that TWK had noted their concernsand most of them had been noted in the recentIntegrated Development Plan (IDP) process.They will be included in the IDP and budgetprocess and the municipality will give feed-

back to the public on the draft budget in April.RichardVelebayi, chairperson of the Zwelit-

sha Residents’ Committee, says residents aretired of empty promises by the municipality.“They said on 1 July 2012 a budget would bemade available for housing.“They said money would be made available

for basic services which would include water,toilets and temporary electricity.“There is currently only running water in

Zwelitsha and no toilets. Residents are con-cerned about their safety as there are no streetlights.”He says TWK is using the police to run away

fromthe truth. “Thepeoplewantanswers, theyare tired of empty promises and they are tiredof peaceful marches, it is getting them no-where.”StiffieCronjé, spokesperson forTheewaters-

kloof Municipality, says the municipality didcommunicate with residents about the reloca-tion from Sitesaviwa to Zwelitsha.Hesaystemporarystandpipesforwaterhave

been installed and Power Construction hadprovided15 toiletswith theunderstanding that

the residents would take ownership of the toi-lets. Power Construction would service thesetoilets twice a week.” According to Cronjethese toilets were subsequently set alight bythe residents.He added that the municipality has started

theprocess of installingbasic services, but dueto insufficient funds, thismatter couldnowon-ly be attended to in the next IDP.Velebayi also said residents are very unhap-

py with the arrest of two people during lastweek’s protest.“They demanded their immediate release

but the police said they first have to appear incourt on Friday morning.”He added that people were only fighting for

their rights. “The feeling of the community isthat all of them should have been arrested asthey are all fighting for the same cause.”LtCyrilCoetzee fromtheCaledonpolice said

it was an illegal protest and that two peoplewere arrested on a charge of public violence.“They appeared in court the next day andwerereleased. Since then everything has beenpeaceful and thesituation isbeingmonitored.”

Staking vir eers op ysCHARLOTTE LESCH

Van die plaaswerkerprotes-histerie Dins-dag het min gekom, maar dis nie die eindevan loongeskille in die landbousektor nie.

Cosatu se Wes-Kaapse provinsiale sekreta-ris,TonyEhrenreich,het gedreigvakbondesaluitvoervragte vertraag en met oorsese koperspraat as daar teen 9 Januarie nie tot verhoogdelone ingestem is nie.EhrenreichhetaanGazettegesêdievolgende

sperdatum vir skikkings – 9 Januarie – is stra-tegies gekies omdat vrugte- en druiweprodu-sente dan in die middel van oestyd sal wees en“meer gemotiveerd” om lone te verhoog.Hy sê afgesien van stakings, kan vakbonde

ook die afsetpunte van boerewat produkte uit-voer besoek. “Indien daar nie ’n ooreenkomsbereik word met boere nie, sal ons die uitvoervan produkte vertraag.”Hy het voorts gesê indien boere die vakbond

nie toelaat om hul boeke na te gaan om te kykof hulle hoër lone kan bekostig nie, sal Cosatutotmeer drastiese stappemoet oorgaan enaan-kopers nader. “Ons sal die maatskappye watdiéboereseproduktekoop, inligoordiepowereomstandighede waarin die arbeiders van hulkliënte hulself bevind.”Karel Swart, voorsitter vandieCommercial,

Stevedoring,Agricultural andAlliedWorkers’Union (Csaawu), nog ’n liggaamwat plaaswer-kers verteenwoordig, twyfel egter of stakingsteenJanuarienog sal plaasvind englowerkerssal teen daardie tyd “afgekoel” wees.Nosey Pieterse, president van die Black As-

sociation for the Wine and Spirit Industry(Bawsi) meen die optrede is weens die feessei-soen gestaak, omdat plaaswerkers graag nougeld in die sak wil hê. “Plaas-tot-plaas-onder-handelingesalnouplaasvind.Indienplaaswer-kers steeds ongelukkig is met loonverhogings,sal stakings op 9 Januarie hervat word. Onssal eerste op die boere fokus, dan oorbeweegna die regering.”Hoewel boere op grond van gebeure in No-

vember voorberei het virmoontlike geweld enskadeaanhul eiendomtydensplaaswerkersta-kings verlede Dinsdag, was daar feitlik geenstakingsaksie in die Theewaterskloof nie,asook geen voorvalle van geweld nie.Volgens Pieterse was Dinsdag se staking so-

veel kleiner en minder gewelddadig as dié inNovember omdat daar hierdie keer leierskapwas.Vakbondeenverteenwoordigendeorgani-sasies het ook volgens hom geweet waar pro-bleemareas was en dit bestuur. Hy het gerugtedatditweensdiegebrekaanbussevolaangery-de mense was, as propaganda afgemaak.Op Bonnievale het Henry Michaels van Ma-

wubuye, ook ’n organisasie vir plaaswerker-regte,gesêdiemoontlikeomvangvanbeplandestakings is in die media opgeblaas.IntussenhetAgriSA’npersverklaringuitge-

reikwaarinhy sêdathyná 3Desember ingeengesprekke oor loonverhogings betrokke wasnie. Hy sê ook onder meer dat daar oor geenminimumloon ’nverbintenisaangegaan isnie,maar dat dit elke boer se reg bly om met wer-kers oor enige vergoeding hoër as die mini-mumloon te onderhandel.Hy sê uitdruklik daar is nie toegestem dat

boere hul boeke vir werkers en vakbondver-teenwoordigers moet “oopmaak” nie en sê dathyniegeraadpleegisoordie9Januarie-sperda-tumvir loononderhandelingsopplaasvlaknie.Pieterse het nie by navraag geweet hoeveel

werkers ná die protesaksie werkloos is nie,maar sê ’n spesiale konferensie sal gehouwordom dit vas te stel, asook of werkers tydens pro-tesaksie beseer is en of dissiplinêre aksie enklagte teen werkers gebring is. Pieterse doenook ’n beroep op die minister van justisie omalle klagtes teen werkers terug te trek.AgriWes-Kaap doen ’n beroep op alle affilia-

sies omvoort te gaanomdaagliksverwikkelin-ge rakende landbou-onrus aan AWK deur tegee. “Ons benodig die inligting om dit op ’n ge-koördineerde engestruktureerdebasis aanon-derskeidelik die SAPD en die provinsialerampbestuur voor te lê,” sê Carl Opperman,uitvoerende hoof.

JAMEY THOMASThe ongoing construction on the

N2 between Somerset West andGrabouw will stop during Decem-ber, allowing motorists to fully uti-lise the road.The delay follows after a rockfall

that occurred at a lookout point onthe road in July, causing minor in-juries to several people. As a result,two of the four lanes on the roadwere immediately closed and two-

way traffic was accommodated onthe two remaining open lanes.According to the South African

National Roads Agency (Sanral), acontractor has been appointed andworkonthemountainis inprogressto prevent further rockfalls.“Work is progressing well, and is

going according to schedule. Lessthan twoweeks remain for themostcritical works to be completed,”says Gerhard Fourie, Sanral

project manager.Although inclement weather (es-

pecially wind) is a concern thatcould result in time loss, Fouriesays they are confident the road– all four lanes – should be openwith the start of the Decemberschool holidays.Work will then resume in Janu-

ary next year and continue untilmid-June.Sanralapologises foranyinconvenience caused.

INGE LAMPRECHT, Villiersdorp

Sowat 50 oudleerlinge van Hoërskool Overberg, Caledon, het op Donderdag 6 Desember van heindeen ver (George, Knysna, Clanwilliam, Lambertsbaai en selfs Johannesburg) vir middagete bymekaargekom by die Houwhoek Inn om hulle 60 jaar na matriek van 1952 te herdenk.

Wil jarelange vriendskap met Albert Vintcent hernuEers ietsie vir die Villiersdorpers, en ditoor julle nuutste aanwins, die sleepboot Al-wynVintcent, wat nou daar by julle op droëgrond rus.Ek het dié meneer al ’n paar keer lankterug raakgeloop, en hoop omdit binnekortweer te doen.Julle weet seker AV is in die vyftiger jarein Venesië gebou op bestelling vir die des-tydse SAS&Hom te gebruik inMosselbaai.Met die wringkrag van sy driesilinder-stoomenjinen twee-meter skroefwashydieware Jakob om groot bote in die baai rondte stoot. Ná die einde van sy dienslewe hethy op pensioen afgetree en laat weet hy is“gereed om nuwe uitdagings” te oorweeg.Ewenwel, toe ons mekaar destyds vir dieeerste keer ontmoet het, was ons altwee opdie water. Ek en twee vrinne het vroeg eenMaandagoggend in ons seiljaggie in Mos-selbaai aangekom en voor die hawe gewagvir die hawekaptein om ons binne te laat.Ons radio-oproepe het lank egter onbe-antwoord gebly, totdat ’n vissersboot

skuins ná agt berig dat die hawemeestersnork nog ná die paartie van die vorigeaand.“Watse paartie?” wou ek weet.“Alwyn se afskeid.”“Wie’s Alwyn?”“Die stoomboot, wie anders?”Daar aangekom, vind ons die hawemees-ter met deurmekaar hare en bloedrooi oë.Hy wys ons toe ’n vasmeerplek uit en biedons die gebruik van sy eie badkamer aan.Blyk toe ’n paarAustraliërswas besig omAlwyn te koop en die paartie die vorigeaand was vir hulle afreis, eers Kaap toe endan (wait for it!) na Australië per see, mettwee ligters vol steenkool agteraan.Ons is later daardie dag daar weg; die Oz-zies was toe nog besig om luike toe te stopen stoom op te bou vir hul vaart.In die Kaap aangeland het ek 18 maandelater weer vir Alwyn gesien, in Tafelbaai-hawe voor die V&A Hotel vasgemeer. Na-vrae onthul toe die tog Australië toe wasdeur die mat (afgekeur deur die verstandi-

ge owerhede) en die Ozzies metleë hande huistoe.Ek hetmettertyd self betrokkegeraak by ’n projek om AV weeraan die loop te kry, maar dierompslomp rondom die bedryfvan ’n stoomketel was so veelei-send dat dit weldra gestaak is.AVhet toe ’n dieselenjin gekry(weggesteek onder die ou een) enhet ’n jaar of wat later nog daarrondgepeuter en toe êrens on-herroeplik aan land gegaan.Daar was wel nog ’n Ozzie wathom wou koop en in Sydney be-dryf, maar die plan het ook, uh,skipbreuk gely.Ek hoop om ons jarelange vriendskap tehernu, sodra ek weer in Villiersdorp kom.Intussen het die bôjane hulle eerstestrooptog van die seisoen op ons suurvyeuitgevoer. Ek was nie daar om te help nie,maar toe ek terugkom was my kombuiswa-ter op – ek vermoed een van die karnallies

het die vaatjie se byderwetse rubberpropvir ’n ongelooflike groot swietie aangesienen dit uitgeruk.Ek hoop die grypdief het darem sy onwil-lekeurige stortbad geniet – kan hom netgoed doen.– fouriejh@mweb.co.za
