Groeipyne het talle subkontrakteurs en werkers van die vesel-infrastruktuur-projek gefrustreerd gelaat, maar hulle meen dit is alles deel van die leerproses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William Morrison is \u2019n subkontrakteur vir die Baobab-projek, wat tans in die Saldanhabaai- munisipale gebied aan die gang is. Met die projek bied die munisipaliteit internettoegang aan alle inwoners. Die infrastruktuur vir die projek word tans gel\u00ea, met Langebaan, Saldanha en die Vredenburg wat reeds voltooi is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morrison bieg haakplekke en struikelblokke het voorgekom met werkers wat onder meer nie ten volle betaal kon word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het gewis ons koppe gestamp, want ons wou die werkers meer betaal. Ons weet wat die behoefte in die gemeenskap is en hoe mense vir werk soek, dus het ons gedink dit sal goed wees om hulle effens meer te betaal,\u201d verduidelik Morrison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 idee het egter nie so goed in die praktyk gewerk nie, bieg hy. Hy s\u00ea aangesien subkontrakteurs eers betaling kry nadat die grootste deel van die kontrak voltooi is, het nie almal altyd genoeg geld gehad om werkers betyds te betaal nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarmee saam moes die koste van toerusting en aftrekkings summier betaal word indien werkers munisipale dienste weens die werk ontwrig het. Dit alles het uitgawes vir die projek verhoog, erken Morrison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Weslander <\/i>is ook gekontak deur \u2019n werker wat gekla het oor betaling van subkontrakteurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morrison s\u00ea werkers is betaal, hoewel sommige nog geld geskuld word. \u201cOns het die omstandighede aan hulle verduidelik en almal sal hul volle betaling ontvang. Niemand het sonder iets weggeloop nie. Sodra ons die volgende fase voltooi, sal ons die werkers van di\u00e9 fase sowel as uitstaande gelde betaal,\u201d het hy verseker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intussen het subkontrakteurs met Zoom Fibre ontmoet om die struikelblokke te bespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Tanya Lourens, bestuurshoof van Zoom Fibre, word subkontrakteurs vir die siviele werke op \u2019n per-meter-tarief-basis betaal. \u201cAlle FiFo-subkontrakteurs dien hul eise vir voltooide siviele werke op \u2019n klusterbasis in, met elke kluster wat gemiddeld vyf blokke insluit. Betaling aan FiFO-bouvennote word weekliks binne sewe dae n\u00e1 die datum van \u2019n eis ingedien. Hoofkontrakteurs van FiFO word aan \u2019n 5%-behoudwaarborg vir ses maande onderwerp, maar alle plaaslike kontrakteurs word n\u00e1 voltooiing van die werk ten volle betaal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy voeg by dit is belangrik vir Zoom Fibre om van plaaslike kontrakteurs en werkers gebruik te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lourens s\u00ea tans is 14 plaaslike kontrakteurs, wat aan die voltooide drie dorpe \u2013 Saldanha, Vredenburg en Langebaan \u2013 van die projek gewerk het, gekontrakteer. \u201cHierdie projekte word finaal getoets om te oorhandig. FiFO het drie plaaslike maatskappye vir die tussendorpse skakels wat tans gebou word, gebruik,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lourens s\u00ea in party gevalle het plaaslike kontrakteurs aansoek gedoen vir die infrastruktuurprojek, maar nie gekwalifiseer nie. \u201cOns het geen spesifieke ooreenkoms vir die gebruik van plaaslike subkontrakteurs nie, maar ons streef om minstens 30% van die werk plaaslik te hou. Ons is trots om te meld dat sowat 40% van die werk van Februarie tot Julie 2022 deur plaaslike gemeenskapslede en plaaslike subkontrakteurs uitgevoer is. So het 40% van die mense wat vir die projek aangestel is, die geleentheid gehad om kennis, vaardighede en kundigheid op die gebied van veselinfrastruktuur op te doen en ons hoop om hierdie persentasie geleidelik te sien toeneem namate ons meer en meer plaaslike maatskappye en individue opgradeer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morrison meen n\u00e1 die aanvanklike ontevredenheid en n\u00e1 gesprekke met Zoom Fibre en die kontrakteurs is plaaslike mense en die maatskappy nou op dieselfde blad. \u201cDit was moeilik en ons het koppe gestamp, maar dis die eerste projek van sy soort, dus sou haakplekke gewis voorkom. Ons wil nie h\u00ea maatskappye moet in die streek kom en plaaslike kontrakteurs uithou nie. Dit is belangrik dat ons aan die hand gevat word sodat sakelui na afloop van die projek beter daaraan toe is as voorheen.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
