Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Afrikaans: 'n Gehuggie van plaaswerkerhuise naby Lüneburg in die noorde van KwaZulu-Natal, Suid-Afrika. Dit is een van baie sulke nedersettings of kampongs ter plaatse. Elke plaas in die omgewing het tewens drie of vier daarvan, en hulle verteenwoordig 'n besondere uitdaging wat sosiale ontwikkeling betref. Dit word beweer dat slegs een tot twee persone uit elke tien in soortgelyke nedersettings vaste werk het. Vroeër jare toe daar geen voorgeskrewe minimum loon was nie, het boere sakke mieliemeel en ander kos aan die werkers voorsien, en almal is so versorg. Sedert die staat egter minimumlone begin voorskryf het, is dit slegs daardie een of twee persone per nedersetting wat 'n inkomste ontvang, terwyl die oorblywende inwoners slegs regeringstoelaes daarby kan voeg, indien hulle kwalifiseer. Hulle kan die toelaag vir bejaardes ontvang, of 'n kinderonderhoudstoelaag vir huishoudings met 'n lae inkomste, wat R420 per maand (R430 sedert Oktober 2019) per kind beloop, tot en met die sesde kind. Dit impliseer 'n inkomste van R31,000 per jaar vir vroue met ses kinders. Die bevolkingsontploffing is miskien die grootste struikelblok vir sosiale ontwikkeling in hierdie streek. Hierdie uitdagings is die onderwerp van kennisname, dialoog en besinning...
English: A little village of basic farm worker houses near Lüneburg in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is one of many such villages or compounds in this region. Every farm in the area has three to four such villages, and they represent a special challenge in terms of social development. It is said that only one to two persons out of every ten in similar villages enjoy steady employment. In earlier years when there was no prescribed minimum wage, the farmers supplied the workers with bags of maize meal and additional food, and in that way all were being cared for. Since the state started to prescribe minimum wages however, it is only those one or two persons per village who receive an income, while the remaining residents can only add government grants to that, should they qualify. They may receive an old age grant, or a child support grant for low income households which amounts to R420 per month (R430 since October 2019) per child, up to the sixth child. This implies an income of R31,000 per annum for women with six children. The population explosion is perhaps the main obstacle to social development in the region. These challenges are the subject of dialogue, reflection and apprisal... |
