BEGRAFNISONDERNEMERS in die streek skop stof op oor die beweerde wederegtelike optrede van \u2018n besigheid wat volgens hulle onversteurd voortgaan om lyke te stoor, grafte te bekom en mense te begrawe\u2026 alles glo onwettig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar volgens die betrokkene, is dokumentasie en die munisipale dorpsbeplanner se soneringsbrief aan die gebou-eienaar genoeg bewys dat di\u00e9 ondernemers almal die pot mis sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die sakekonsultant van die beweerde \u201conwettige\u201d operateur s\u00ea hulle verwerp bewerings dat die ondernemer ook \u2018onregmatig\u2019 kli\u00ebnte werf, as moedswillige leuens \u2013 \u201cna alle waarskynlikheid versprei deur een van hulle kompetisieverskaffers\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hieruit kom dit voor of daar verwarring en teenstrydighede tussen die amptelike departemente asook onder die ondernemers bestaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gemeenskapdiens Portfolio raadslid Daniel Benson s\u00ea dat die gebou-eienaar se aansoek vir toestemming (dat die gebou waaruit Stardust Begrafnisondernemers sake doen, vir storing van liggame hersoneer word) steeds deur die munisipaliteit geprosesseer word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het intussen daarvan bewus geword dat die begrafnisondernemer met werksaamhede voortgaan, en het die gebou-eienaar in kennis gestel dat alle besigheid gestaak moet word totdat die proses afgehandel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSedertdien is verteenwoordiging van die landheer se regspan en Stardust se sakekonsultant in die verband ontvang. Ons Omgewingsgesondheid-afdeling het die rolspelers ontmoet in \u2018n poging om die saak te beredder. Die proses is steeds voortgaande.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kennisgewing vir aansoek om hersonering het in Maart, vanjaar in die koerant verskyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anna-Marie Pieterse, eienaar van Stardust, het verlede week by navrae oor voortgaande sake aan die Kouga Express<\/i> ges\u00ea: \u201cJy is welkom om na my kantoor te kom en al die lisensies teen my muur te kom kyk en na al die oorspronklike korrespondensie van die ge-sondheidinspekteur waar my gebou goedgekeur en voldoen met al die wetlike vereistes vir \u2018n begrafnislokaal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andr\u00e9 Vlok van Crossroads Business Consultants reageer namens Pieterse: \u201cAlle sertifikate en toestemmings wat SFS moet oor be-skik, met die uitsondering van die een sertifikaat wat nou die onderwerp van kommunikasie met die Stadsraad is, is in plek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Een hand was die ander<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plaaslike begrafnismense s\u00ea onthuts dat \u2018n polisverkoper van familieskemas na bewering die plek se \u2018dode registreer\u2019, en Stardust dan die ander se lyke stoor. \u201cHierdie is vir ons \u2018n seer saak, dat mense op hul kwesbaarste so uitgebuit word\u201d, stem plaaslike ondernemers saam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlok bevestig: \u201cDoodsertifikate word aangemeld deur Charl Hattingh, \u2018n ondernemer, wie so maak in terme van \u2018n ooreenkoms met SFS. Die ooreenkoms behels onder meer dat SFS liggame stoor vir Hattingh en dat hy weer die registrasies behartig, sonder dat daar enige betalings oor en weer plaasvind.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Maai onder kli\u00ebnte<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat begrafnismense in die streek omkrap, is nie net dat Stardust glo in \u2018n stadium sonder die vereiste bevoegdheidsertifikaat as ondernemers en lykbesorgers gewerk het nie, maar glo onder hul kli\u00ebnte gemaai het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rhelton Claassen, verteenwoordiger van Bosman Funerals, se ervaring kom s\u00f3 voor. \u201cOns betaalpunt was altyd by ons agent by Patensie Food Zone, Sandra Scott. Toe ons van onderskrywer verander (van KGA Life na West-PRO Holdings), het ons ons kli\u00ebnte verwittig en \u2018n kennisgewing in die koerant publiseer.\u201d Maar dit blyk dat kli\u00ebnte in kennis gestel is dat Bosman bankrot is, en dat Stardust die boekies oorneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is skade vir ons, veral aangesien die gemelde ondernemer weier om die lede se name aan ons te verskaf, sodat ons hulle bloot van ons stelsel kan verwyder. Ons neem nou regstappe,\u201d meen Claassen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hieroor s\u00ea Vlok dat daar volgens SFS se persoonlike ervaring gereelde en langdurige klagtes onder die algemene kli\u00ebntebasis van Bosman aangaande dienslewering was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar was ekstensiewe en openbare adver-tensie en bemarking gedoen deur KGA en SFS, en enige verskuiwing van besigheid was \u2018n normale en totaal behoorlike kommersi\u00eble proses. Ons neem aan dat u bewus sal wees van die moontlikheid van bloot sogenaamde suur druiwe deur kompetisie en dat dit sal aanleiding gee tot wat duidelik \u2018n skinder en lasterveldtog teen SFS is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Gerugte<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeffreysbaai-ondernemers Dean en Iris Gilbert van Kouga Funerals het om \u2018n hofbevel teen die Stardust-eienaar aansoek gedoen, aangesien hulle glo al deeglik onder ongegronde gerugte \u2013 selfs \u2018n moordbeskuldiging kompleet met \u2018n \u201csaaknommer\u201d \u2013 moes deurloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit gaan my verstand te bowe hoe mense dit regkry\u201d, s\u00ea Iris kopskuddend. \u201cDis die eerste keer dat ek te\u00ebkom dat kli\u00ebnte openlik oorgeneem word en lyke sonder die nodige bevoegdheidsertifikaat gestoor word\u201d, en haal aan uit die Regulation Gazette, No 9960, Vol. 575, Pretoria 22 Mei 2013 \u2013 No. 36473.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy meen dit is die gemeenskap wat uiteindelik onder die soort praktyke ly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iris s\u00ea sy voel die saak persoonlik: nadat \u2018n voormalige werknemer korrektiewe diens moes uitdien, het Kouga Funerals hom weer \u2018n geleentheid gebied \u2013 maar hy is oornag weg na Stardust \u2013 met lede se boekies. \u201cDie man het betaling aan ons Patensie-agent aangebied om lede na die mededinger oor te bring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns prokureur moes sterk optree teen onregmatige werwing van ons kli\u00ebnte, en kwaadwillige belaster van ons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierop s\u00ea die sake-adviseur van Pieterse dat SFS baie gesteld daarop is om selfs die bemarkingsgedeelte van hulle dienste eties en korrek te doen. \u201cDie bewering aangaande betalings om kliente oor te bring, is te vaag om spesifiek te antwoord. Selfs al aanvaar mens nou die een of ander transaksie soos beweer vir argumentsonthalwe sou die kli\u00ebnte nog steeds natuurlik die besluit neem wie die diensverskaffer is, en sou die blote \u2018omkoop\u2019 van een persoon of werknemer nie voldoende wees nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Beloftes van geld<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die waardige Clive Commons, eienaar van Ten to Nine Commons Funerals, Humansdorp, is ook onthuts. \u201cDie \u2018onwettige\u2019 lykshuis maak skade. Soos ons met kli\u00ebnte deel, vertel hulle ons van aanmerkings, soos dat daar vir hulle ges\u00ea word dat ons swak diens lewer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clive vertel dat mense weggelok word met beloftes dat die ondernemer vir hulle \u201cR10 000 begrafnisse sal doen en ook soveel kontant sal uitbetaal. Lede wil kom uitvind of dit waar is dat hulle kontant gaan kry. Hulle gaan ook na ons agente en bied meer geld aan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Wat Stardust se besigheidsadviseur aanbetref is dit bloot \u2018n uitstekende voorbeeld van die \u2018klas produk\u2019 wat SFS kan aanbied. \u201cDi\u00e9 bewerings is wesenlik korrek, aangesien dit spesifiek is wat hulle produk behels. Daar is absoluut niks verkeerd of onregmatig aan die produkte of die bemarking daarvan nie\u201d, s\u00ea Vlok.<\/span> ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Nie geregistreer?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clive het verneem dat die onderneming nie by Binnelandse Sake of die munisipaliteit geregistreer is nie. \u201cDaar moet optrede teen so \u2018n bedryf kom. Waarom tree die owerhede nie op nie. Of is daar voordele waarvan ons nie weet nie? Die mense kan nie \u2018n dood registreer nie \u2013 dus gebruik hulle ander en betaal hulle.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die ondernemings is dit almal eens dat die saak verder gevoer sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Op navrae oor hieroor, meld Vlok dat SFS, wat die uitstaande sertifikaat aanbetref, \u201cal sedert laasjaar alles gedoen het wat van hulle vereis word, en dat hulle handel dryf met die wete en goedkeuring van almal van die brandweer tot die gesondheidsdienste.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n By navrae aan Binnelandse Sake blyk dit dat di\u00e9 departement nie \u2018n le\u00ear van die omstrede onderneming vind nie, maar het wel gemeld dat die persoon wat daarmee werk, met verlof is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vlok s\u00ea ten slotte dat \u201cSFS gaan nie hulleself skuldig maak aan dieselfde vlak van moddergooi as wat nou die geval is nie, en hulle sal eenvoudig hulle fokus hou op die lewer van hulle produk\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BEGRAFNISONDERNEMERS in die
