Ukusukela iithagethi zabaphathi beeteksi kwenza kube nzima ukuthobela umthetho wendlela, abaqhubi baxelela iGroundUp.
Ucele ukungachazwa kwamagama. Ungumhlali wase-Atlantis oneminyaka engama-36 ubudala, kwaye uphila ngokuqhuba iteksi iminyaka eli-14. Unoonyana ababini, oneminyaka emithathu nesithoba.
Uthi: “Sishiya iintsapho zethu ebumnyameni sibuye kumnyama, sisoloko sicinga ngabakhweli bethu nokhuseleko lwabo.
Ngaphambi kokuba abe ngumqhubi weteksi, wayesebenzela umngcwabo kayise, elungisa imizimba kunye nokuqhuba imoto yomngcwabo.
Usebenzele abaphathi beeteksi abahlanu abohlukeneyo. Ube ngusekela-sihlalo womnye umbutho weeteksi wasekuhlaleni iminyaka emithathu; ngoku ungunobhala walo mbutho.
Usuku lwakhe luqala ngo-4:30am. Usebenza yonke imihla evekini ukuhlangabezana nommiselo womphathi wakhe wama-R4,000 ngeveki. Le yimali ayigcinayo umphathi wakhe. (Umphathi unoxanduva lokunyamekela iteksi nokuhlawula iindleko zepetroli.) Ugoduka nomyinge we-R1,200 ukuya kutsho kuma-R2,000 ngeveki yaye kunzima ukondla intsapho yakhe koku.
Nangona kunjalo, uthi “kuyavuyisa ukuba ngumqhubi weteksi”. Kodwa amapolisa endlela kamasipala “ahlala ejonge ukufumana impazamo, akhuphe isohlwayo”.
Uthi ufumana izohlwayo veki nganye, kwaye ezi uzihlawula epokothweni yakhe. Izohlwayo zisusela kuma-R500 ukuya kuma-R5,000 kumatyala anjengokulayisha kakhulu okanye ukumisa kumgca obomvu ngelixa ulindele ukukhwelisa abakhweli.
Uthi bapaka apho abantu baziva bekhuselekile xa bekhwela kwaye ezi zihlala zinemigca ebomvu, efana neendawo zokuthenga ezingaphandle.
Ngexesha logwayimbo lweeteksi lwakutsha nje, baqhubekile nokusebenza kodwa ngaphakathi e-Atlantis kuphela.
Uthi abaphathi beeteksi base-Atlantis bafuna “ukuphila kunye nenkonzo yebhasi yeMyCiTi”.
Umbutho wakhe usebenza kwiindlela ezidibanisa umbindi weKapa, iTable View, iMelkbosstrand, iBellville, iDarling, iVredenburg kunye neMalmesbury.
Uthi ingqesho yakhe isekelwe kwisivumelwano somlomo nangaphandle kwesivumelwano esibhaliweyo.
“Akukho nzuzo kwaphela – akukho zibonelelo zomhlalaphantsi, akukho UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund), akukho mvuzo umiselweyo, akukho ntsuku zekhefu. Kuyakhathaza ngokwenene … kubuhlungu. ”…
“Abaqhubi bafuna ukuwongwa ngokuthe ngqo kurhulumente, kuba iinkonzo esizinikezelayo zibalulekile,” utshilo.
Siye sathetha nomnye umqhubi weteksi wase-Atlantis naye obonelela ngezithuthi zabasebenzi kubasebenzi basefektri. Uluqala usuku lwakhe kwangoko ngentsimbi yesi-4 kusasa aze agoduke ezinzulwini zobusuku.
“Akukho lula kum ukuthobela imithetho yendlela kunye nemithetho kamasipala enxulumene nayo. Ndiza kuma kanye apho kukho umkhweli olindileyo, kuba ukuba andikwenzi, enye iteksi iya kukhwela abakhweli. Kufuneka sisinde. Imalunga nokusinda. Asithethi nto embi nakubani na,” utshilo.
Ukhale ngelithi abashishina ngokungekho mthethweni, abaziwa “njengeamaphara”, bagawula ishishini labo.
Utyhola amagosa ezendlela kumasipala ngokuthatha izinyobo. “Kufuneka ndithenge isiselo ndithenge ibhakethi elikhulu lakwa-KFC elinamaqhekeza angama-21 ukuze ndibaleke kwisohlwayo,” utshilo.
“Abathethi ngathi bathetha nomntu. Bafunga bathi, ‘Sukuthetha nam kak, ndinike imvume yakho yokulala.’ Izinto ezinjalo.”
Umphathi wakhe uzibekele i-R600 ngosuku kwaye akasoloko efikelela kuyo.
“Kufuneka ndifikelele ekujoliswe kuko ukuze ndilale kakuhle,” utshilo.
