Isichibiyelo sizoqala ukusebenza kusukela kowe-1994
Emva kokuba iNkantolo YoMthethosisekelo iqinisekise isinqumo esakhishwa phambilini iNkantolo Enkulu yasePretoria odabeni lokunxeshezelwa kwezisebenzi zasezindlini ezilimale noma zashonela emsebenzini, uMnyango Wezokuqashwa Nezezisebenzi ube ngezinye zezinhlaka ezisamukelile lesi sinqumo.
UMqondisi Jikelele walo Mnyango, uMnu uThobile Lamati, uthe uMnyango wakhe uyasamukela lesi sinqumo seNkantolo YoMthethosisekelo esiqinisekise ilungelo lezisebenzi zasezindlini ukuthi nazo zifakwe ngaphansi kohlelo lokunxeshezelwa uma zilimale emsebenzini.
Uthe iNkantolo YoMthethosisekelo ichaze izisebenzi zasezindlini njengamaqhawekazi angadunyiswa kuleli lizwe nasemhlabeni jikelele, umsebenzi wazo ekwazi ukwenza amalungu omphakathi abambe iqhaza kwezomnotho alandele futhi aphumelele emisebenzini yawo.
“Ngaphambi kwesinqumo seNkantolo Enkulu, uMnyango wawusuvele usuqale uhlelo lokuchibiyela umthetho ukuze ufake izisebenzi zasezindlini ngaphansi kwencazelo “yesisebenzi” okuzozenza zikwazi ukuthola imihlomulo ngaphansi kweCOIDA,” kusho uLamati.
Uthe izinqumo zeNkantolo Enkulu neYoMthethosisekelo ziphuthumise ukufakwa kwezisebenzi zasezindlini ngaphansi kweCompensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA)
“Lesi ngesinye sezizathu ezenze ukuthi uMnyango uvume isivumelwano sokuqala esathulwa eNkantolo Enkulu kwagcina kwenziwe umyalelo weNkantolo lona manje osuqinisekiswe iNkantolo YoMthethosisekelo,” kuqhuba uLamati.
UMthethosivivinywa wokuchibiyela umthetho wethulwa ngoMandulo kanti phakathi kwezinguquko kukhona ukufakwa kwezisebenzi zasezindlini ngaphansi kweCOIDA.
Mayelana nomyalelo weNkantolo wokuthi ukufakwa kwezisebenzi zasezindlini ngaphansi kweCOIDA, kuqale mhla zingama-27 kuMbasa we1994, uLamati uthe uMnyango ubusuvele usilindele lesi sinqumo futhi usuzibhekile izindlela zokwenza lokhu.
“Siyakuqonda ukuthi lokhu kunemithelela emikhulu ngakho-ke sekuseMnyangweni ukusebenza uqhamuke nendlela engcono yokubhekana nale ngxenye yesinqumo futhi ukwenze ngendlela ebheka konke okunye okuvezwe yiziNkantolo,” kuchaza uLamati.
Uqhuba athi: “Sivumelana ngokuphelele neNkantolo ukuthi izisebenzi zasezindlini zibhekene nezinselelo ezahlukene ezihlanganisa ukucwaswa ngokobuhlanga, ngokobulili, ukungalingani ngokobulili nangokwezinga lempilo. Ngesinye sezizathu sokuthi uMnyango uhambe phambili kweminye yemizamo yokungenelela ukwenza impilo yezisebenzi zasezindlini ibe ngcono njengokuthi kube nomklamo womholo ezizoqala kuwo ukuhola,” usho kanje.
Uthe ngisho nokukhokhelwa kwezisebenzi ngesikhathi sokhuvethe, banxuse bonke abaqashi bezisebenzi zasezindlini ukuba baqinisekise ukuthi bayazifakela izicelo zokukhokhelwa ukuze zingasali ngaphandle.
ULamati uthe uMnyango uzokhipha isiqondiso sokuthi abaqashi bezisebenzi zasezindlini bafake esikhwameni (sokunxeshezelwa) nokuthi uMnyango uzobhekana kanjani nengxenye yesinqumo (esithi siqala mhla zingama-27 kuMbasa we-1994) maqondana nemali efakwa abaqashi esikhwameni.
