Hond byt vrou
Pienaar ly steeds aan erge skok ná voorval Molly Green ’n WELKOMSE vrou wat die lewe van ’n malteser wou red, is deur die bure se boerboel in die gesig gebyt. Sy het ook ’n bytmerk aan haar arm, het ’n hou teen die kop weg en ly erg aan skok. Alta Pienaar, skakelpraktisyn van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Bloeddiens (SANBD) in Welkom, sê die bloed het uit die wonde aan haar gesig gestroom. Sy het dadelik watte met skoon Dettol op die wonde gesit en haar seun Rian (26) het met haar dokter toe gejaag. Haar wang is met twaalf steke geheg en sy het pynmedisyne ontvang. Sy is ook ’n klem-in-die-kaak-inspuiting toegedien. Alta sê die bure het drie honde, die boerboel, ’n St. Bernard en die malteser. “Die poedeltjie kom gereeld in my huis en ek is bang my Duitse herdershond, Rambo, byt hom dood. Rambo is baie besitlik. “Toe ek die maltesertjie oor die hek sit, het ek nie die twee groot honde gewaar nie. Toe ek regop kom, het die boerboel uit die bloute oor die hek teen my gespring en sy tande in my wang en arm geslaan. Ek het ’n harde stamp teen my kop weg en ek verduur nog baie pyn.” Alta sê die hek is nie hoog genoeg nie. Sy is onverhoeds aangeval. Sy is ook bekommerd oor die bure se twee klein kindertjies. “Ek is baie lief vir kinders en diere en sal dit nie kan hanteer as kinders deur die honde aangeval word nie.” Sy sê sy is elke dag in die openbare oog en die merk aan haar gesig is vir haar ’n yslike verleentheid.
Refilwe Mochoari THE unemployment phenomenon is going to increase in the Goldfields as about 3 000 mineworkers will be left jobless due to another possible mine closure in the area. The management of the Sibanye Gold Mine, formerly known as Oryx, between Welkom and Theunissen last week served the trade union Solidarity with a section 189 notice which deals with the termination of employment contracts. The termination is due to a fire that broke out in the mine on 19 February, leaving a loss of R28 million per month. David Sipunzi, secretary of the National Union for Mineworkers (NUM) in the Free State, said the Welkom branch held a meeting with Sibanye Gold yesterday afternoon. “I cannot say anything at the moment because we are going to hold our first meeting as a branch about this problem today at 14:00,” he said. However Lesiba Seshoka, national spokesperson for the NUM, said the termination of 3 000 workers who are mostly breadwinners in the communities is totally disappointing and devastating. “We are very disappointed in Sibanye Gold for taking this drastic step because it is the responsibility of the management to ensure that the mine is often maintained to prevent incidents such as a fire breaking underground. “The retrenchments are going to affect the Goldfields community negatively because there are people who rely on the income of these workers.With that said, we as the NUM feel Sibanye is using its strategies in an attempt to retrench workers. This step has been long overdue, they are using the fire as an excuse and as a result are not living with the promise by Goldfields when it announced that no jobs would be lost because of change of ownership,” he said.
