House of Assembly: Vol35 - FRIDAY 28 MAY 1971

FRIDAY, 28TH MAY, 1971

For oral reply:

Bantu bricklayers and plasterers employed in Newcastle, Natal *1. Mr. L. E. D. WINCHESTER

asked the Minister of Labour:

  1. (1) Whether Bantu bricklayers and plasterers are employed by any contractors in Newcastle, Natal; if so, by which contractors;
  2. (2) what is the rate per hour paid to (a) White, (b) Coloured and Indian and (c) Bantu bricklayers and plasterers in Natal;
  3. (3) whether he will make a statement in regard to the matter.
The MINISTER OF LABOUR:
  1. (1) Only one employer, a sub-contractor, namely C. J. van der Merwe, was found to have employed three Bantu on plastering. This employment was illegal, and steps against the employer are under consideration. Another sub-contractor, namely S.A. Block & Concrete (Pty.) Ltd., are employing Bantu on the laying of certain types of blocks as distinct from bricks, and the work involved is not classified as skilled work.
  2. (2) (a), (b) and (c) The actual wages paid are in many instances higher than the prescribed minimum rates, and particulars of such higher rates are not available. The present minimum rate, in terms of the Durban Industrial Council Agreement, is R1-03 per hour, and those laid down for the Natal Midlands and Northern Natal Areas in agreements which expired on the 14th instant were R1-02 and R1-01 per hour, respectively. These minimum rates apply to all artisans irrespective of race or colour. Bantu may, however, not be employed on skilled work in urban areas without exemption except in Bantu areas. Apart from action which may be taken against offending employers, underpayments are in such cases assessed at the prescribed artisan rate. The wages for Bantu building workers in areas where they may be employed are laid down in a determination under the Bantu Building Workers Act, which prescribes 41 cents per hour for the Durban area, 39 cents for Natal Midlands and 36 cents for Northern Natal.
  3. (3) In the light of the remarks which the hon. member saw fit to make during the debate on my Vote, I have had the matter investigated and, as will be clear from the foregoing, the factual position differs completely from what the hon. member led this House to believe.
Mr. L. E. D. WINCHESTER:

Arising from the Minister’s reply, can he tell us whom these sub-contractors are working for?

The MINISTER:

I think the hon. member ought first of all to study my reply carefully; thereafter he will be in a position to put better questions to me.

Mr. L. E. D. WINCHESTER:

Is the Minister aware that photographic evidence was taken of Bantu doing plastering in this particular area?

The MINISTER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:

I hope you will have the guts to apologize.

Mr. W. T. WEBBER:

I hope the Minister will have the guts to reply.

Mr. R. M. CADMAN:

Can the hon. the Minister tell us what the minimum difference is in size between blocks, the laying of which is skilled work, and blocks, the laying of which is unskilled work?

The MINISTER OF LABOUR:

Those are technical details which the hon. member can discuss under the Vote of my colleague. [Interjections.]

Mr. W. T. WEBBER:

Arising from the reply, the Minister said that the salaries were above the minimum, but he did not know what they were. On what did he base his reply? [Interjections.]

Mr. SPEAKER:

Order!

The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR:

Yes.

The MINISTER:

Yes.

Mr. W. T. WEBBER:

Arising further from the reply, was this conversion from avoirdupois to metric packing the cause of the delay in shipping this butter?

No.
