Terwyl verskeie menseregte-aktiviste by navraag hul kommer gedeel het oor die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, wat op sy aansoekvorm wil weet of aansoekers vir algemene werk enige posisie in politieke partye beklee, het die munisipaliteit die vereiste van di\u00e9 inligting vandeesweek geregverdig en ges\u00ea dit is nodig om te verseker dat hierdie mense nie hul politieke mag gebruik om die bestuursmodel van die munisipaliteit te be\u00efnvloed nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Munisipale werker het Paarl Post <\/em>vandeesweek gekontak en ges\u00ea hierdie klousule het glo nooit vantevore op aansoekvorms verskyn nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is dan nou amper asof hulle wil h\u00ea dat net \u2019n sekere party se mense hier mag werk. So, wat dit vir my s\u00ea, is as jy vir \u2019n ander party stem, gaan jy nie hier werk nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn die meantime <\/em>is ons oorwerk omdat daar so baie poste is wat net nie gevul kan word nie. Ons moet nou ander se werk ook doen omdat die munisipaliteit sloer om mense permanent aan te stel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die werker s\u00ea die klousule veroorsaak verwarring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWat presies hul rede is hoekom hulle dit vra, sal hulle alleen kan verduidelik. Maar ek weet van baie mense wat aansoek wil doen om seisoenwerk, maar nou huiwer omdat hulle dan nou moet s\u00ea vir wie hulle stem. So, baie van ons mense sit sonder werk, en ek verstaan regtig nie hoekom die party waaraan jy behoort, nou ewe skielik so belangrik is nie,\u201d het die werker ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Dit is \u2019n reg wat in die Grondwet beskerm word. Elke Suid-Afrikaner het die reg om aan \u2019n politiek party te behoort en aktief daarby betrokke te wees en dit moet geensins jou kanse vir werk be\u00efnvloed nie.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Plaaslike menseregteaktivis wat hom vir maatskaplike geregtigheid beywer, en wat uit vrees vir viktimisering nie ge\u00efdentifiseer wil word nie, het by navraag aan Paarl Post <\/em>ges\u00ea die vereiste grens aan die moontlike oortreding van aansoekers se reg om aan \u2019n party van hul keuse te behoort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is \u2019n reg wat in die Grondwet beskerm word. Elke Suid-Afrikaner het die reg om aan \u2019n politiek party te behoort en aktief daarby betrokke te wees en dit moet geensins jou kanse vir werk be\u00efnvloed nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVir hulle om hierdie inligting te vereis, is kommerwekkend, want dit beteken basies wanneer jy by daardie onderhoud instap, is jy waarskynlik al klaar benadeel weens jou politieke affiliasie. Dit is nou te s\u00ea as jy wel genooi word vir \u2019n onderhoud en alle aansoekers van spesifieke partye se aansoekvorms nie eenkant toe geskuif word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seraj Johaar, die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit se uitvoerende direkteur van korporatiewe en beplanningsdienste, het die klousule by navraag geregverdig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy s\u00ea dit is in ooreenstemming met artikel 71 (b) wat deur \u2019n wysiging by die Wet op Plaaslike Regerings- en Munisipale Stelsels ingevoeg is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie wet bepaal dat \u2019n personeellid nie \u2019n politieke amp in \u2019n party mag beklee nie, hetsy in \u2019n permanente, tydelike of waarnemende hoedanigheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit bepaal verder dat iemand wat as \u2019n personeellid aangestel is voordat subartikel (1) in werking tree, moet binne een jaar n\u00e1 die inwerkingtreding van subartikel (1) aan die wet voldoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die wet definieer \u201cpolitiese amp\u201d as di\u00e9 van \u2019n voorsitter, ondervoorsitter, sekretaris, ondersekretaris, tesourier of \u2019n verkose of aangestelde besluitnemingsposisie van \u2019n politieke party nasionaal of in enige provinsie, streek of ander gebied waarin die party funksioneer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie doel van die klousule was \u2019n edele een. Die ongelukkige werklikheid in baie munisipaliteite is dat politieke ampsdraers, soos gedefinieer, soms in junior posisies in munisipaliteite in diens is, terwyl hulle groot politieke invloed oor burgemeesters, voorsitters, ensovoorts het. Soms is hul hoofde in die politieke sfeer, maar baie junior op munisipale vlak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOm aan die bogenoemde wet te voldoen, het alle munisipaliteite aansoekers vir hierdie verklaring gevra. Geen proses om nakoming van hierdie bepaling te verseker, sou ouditbevindings aantrek nie,\u201d het Johaar ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens hom is die wet se bepalings deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Munisipale Werkersunie (Samwu) betwis, en die hof het beslis dat dit slegs op die munisipale bestuurder en senior bestuurders wat aan die munisipale bestuurder rapporteer, van toepassing moet wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit wil s\u00ea die bepaling kon nie politieke ampsdraers verhoed om by plaaslike regering op vlakke onder die bogenoemde senior posisies in diens geneem te word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaar is dus niks onheilspellends daaraan om die vraag op die aansoekvorm te h\u00ea nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het bygevoeg dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat die vraag nie versoek of die aansoeker \u2019n lid van \u2019n politieke party is nie; net of hy \u2019n ampsdraer is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
