\u2019n Splinternuwe plan om te sorg dat getroue plaaswerkers \u2019n gerieflike en bekostigbare dak oor die kop sal h\u00ea indien die plaas waarop hulle \u2019n leeftyd lank gewerk het, skielik verkoop word en hulle nie meer woonplek of werk op die plaas het nie, is besig om in die omgewing van Wellington vorm aan te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die plan is n\u00e1 deeglike samespreking tussen die bekende Wellingtonse sake\u00adman Gary Raats en die werkers op sy plaas Olyvenhout buite Wellington ontwikkel. Olyvenhout is \u2019n bekende plaas wat grens aan die terrein waarop Douglas Green se fabriek en kantoor is. Douglas Green het die plaas onlangs by Raats gekoop en die plaaswerkers moes hul huise ontruim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van die werkers het \u2019n leeftyd lank op Olyvenhout gewerk en het geen ander heenkome gehad as die huise waarin hulle op die plaas gewoon het nie. Raats het besluit om met die werkers in gesprek te tree en \u2019n plan te probeer ontwikkel wat sal verseker dat hulle almal in die toekoms \u2019n dak oor die kop sal h\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die samespreking is gevoer tussen Nosey Pietersen van die plaaswerkers\u00advakbond Bewusa, Marius Abrahams, \u2019n prokureur wat die betrokke plaas\u00adwerkers verteenwoordig en Raats en sy prokureur Steph Grobler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Grobler het Raats en die werkers n\u00e1 intensiewe onderhandeling wat nagenoeg ses maande geduur het, uiteindelik tot \u2019n bevredigende ooreenkoms gekom: Raats se maatskappy sou vir die vier gesinne wat by die verskuiwing betrokke is, elk \u2019n nuwe woonhuis bou. Hulle het ook ooreengekom dat die eienaarskap van elk van die wonings wat die maatskappy vir die werkers bou, aan die hoof van die onderskeie families oor te dra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die maatskappy het erwe in Green Valley by die Paarl aangeskaf en vir elke gesin \u2019n volledige huis met aparte slaapkamers, kombuis en badkamer gebou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die boukoste het R430 000 per huis beloop en die owerhede het reeds belowe dat die boukontrakteur \u2019n subsidie van nagenoeg R1 600 per voltooide woning sal ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groot vreugde het verlede week by die oorhandiging van die nuwe huise aan die vier families geheers. Een van die begunstigdes het ges\u00ea hulle het al die jare in nederig huisies sonder lopende water of toilette gewoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle moes self drinkwater en waswater uit die nabygele\u00eb rivier gaan skep. Die Wellingtonse munisipaliteit het soms water in \u2019n houer gebring. Die nuwe huise het lopende water en \u2019n spoeltoilet. Die huise is in \u2019n netjiese woonbuurt en is binne stapafstand van winkels en ander geriewe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die entoesiasme waarmee die planne vir die hervestiging van die werkers begroet is, het daartoe gelei dat verskeie boere in die Drakenstein-gebied te kenne gegee het dat hulle dit nou oorweeg om plaaswerkers wat \u2019n plaas moet verlaat, op dieselfde wyse by te staan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pietersen s\u00ea dit is baie belangrik om te verstaan watter soort ooreenkomste bereik kan word as al die partye saam om \u2019n tafel gaan sit om na \u2019n bevredigende oplossing te soek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het na \u2019n oplossing gesoek \u2013 nie na maniere om die ander party te uitoorl\u00ea nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die mense wat by die onderhandelinge betrokke was, het agterna daarop gewys dat die gesinne reeds op die plaas was toe Raats die plaas gekoop het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was dus nie die oorsaak van die moontlik uiters plofbare situasie nie, maar het dit nogtans deur goeie onderhandelinge op \u2019n positiewe wyse ontlont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
