Construction continues after #Fees must Fall Teboho Setena WORK on the construction of two infrastructure projects on the Welkom Campus of the Central University of Technology (CUT) is on track and will be completed in time. The initiative involves the building of students’ accommodation and lecturers’ apartments. Work on the project on the campus was abruptly disrupted by unruly groups of students during a protest a week ago. The students protested against the increase in tuition fees and the action was in line with the #Fees Must Fall, a campaign by students from tertiary institutions all across the country. During the two-day protest, students
disrupted the workers of the construction company Liviero Building Pty, which has been awarded the tender to build the students’ accommodation and the lecturers’ apartments. The violent protest ended with nine students, two female and seven male, arrested by the Welkom Public Order Policing unit regarding public violence and contravening the court interdict that the institution had obtained, prohibiting any disruptions on campus. The construction project, both the students’ hostel and lecturers’ apartments, is estimated at R120 million. The hostel is set to accommodate about 200 students. Construction work commenced towards the end of 2014, with

intensive labour involving more than 200 workers. Dan Maritz, the CUT’s media spokesperson, said the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) was funding the multi-million rand project. Maritz stated that the project was also one of the major capital developments in Welkom and within the Goldfields region. “CUT has developed an infrastructure master-plan, which will be used to guide future developments on the campus, subject to the availability of funds from the DHET,” said Maritz. He said the lecturers’ apartments were expected to be completed by end of December, followed by the students’ accommodation by March in 2016.

THE Matjhabeng Municipality is on the threshold of a major “down tools” strike by some 2 000 employees. This will be the first time in the history of the municipality that there will be a unified front shown by strikers at all levels, black and white. The ringleaders of the strike, who wanted to remain anonymous, said they had already started consultations with the ANC on a national level. They are dissatisfied with the appointment of the new director of Corporate Services, Fezile Wetes, who is a cadre redeployment from the Eastern Cape. The workers said they were also dissatisfied with the municipal manager, Adv. Mothusi Lepheane. They feel affronted that so many – too many according to them – Eastern Cape cadres are being redeployed to the Matjhabeng Municipality, while Matjhabeng’s own unemployment rate is sky-rocketing. People are being employed into positions which have not been advertised. Appointments are made even before positions are advertised. There is a lot of dissatisfaction that white employees have been given notice letters, or they have been placed on leave pending hearings. There is a feeling among municipal workers (black and white) that white workers are being discriminated against, and that their human rights are being violated. Workers also said that many of the cadre deployees have been appointed with salaries that are on levels that are not council approved. “These salaries are extremely high, much higher than what the normal workers are earning.” They said: “We cannot allow them to destroy us. We are very aware of the consequences of a mass action. “We will also consult with the residents, but if we have to strike, we will.” ) Vista asked the Matjhabeng Municipality to comment on the dissatisfaction. At the time of going to press no answer was forthcoming. ) In the meantime, the Lejweleputswa Regional Municipality has welcomed civil engineers and architects from Cuba. The 12 delegates will assist with the infrastructure of the various municipalities in this region. Matjhabeng is one of these municipalities.
