Riaan Kusuka kuntatheli yethu ekhethekile eCannes – Imvula engapheli yaphonsa ingubo emcimbini omkhulu wamafilimu emhlabeni ngoLwesihlanu, kodwa ayizange ivimbe “izisebenzi ezibalulekile” zaseCannes ukuthi zenze umbhikisho ngaphandle kwehhotela elifanekisela kakhulu lesigodlo sedolobha laseRiviera – isandulela somhlangano omkhulu ohlelelwe ngeSonto.
I-France ihlaselwe yizinyanga zemibhikisho emikhulu – enkulu kunazo zonke emashumini ambalwa eminyaka – ngokumelene ne-a ukulungiswa kabusha kwempesheni okungathandwa kakhulu lowo Mongameli Emmanuel MacronUhulumeni ubhodloze iphalamende ngaphandle kwevoti.
Imibhikisho, eminye yayo enodlame, isifake iziphathimandla zendawo AmaCannes uku-oda ukuvinjelwa kwemibhikisho endaweni ebanzi ezungeze i-Palais des Festivals kanye ne-palm-lined boulevard yedolobha, i-Croisette.
Abamelene noguquko, nokho, baxwayise ngokuthi ngeke bahlale bathule ngesikhathi somkhosi – umbukiso omkhulu France kanye nenye yemicimbi esakazwa kakhulu emhlabeni, eheha izivakashi nezinhlangano zabezindaba ezivela kuwo wonke amagumbi omhlaba.
“ICannes ayigcini nje ngokucwebezela kanye nokugigiyela. Kumayelana nabasebenzi futhi, abantu obekungeke kwenzeke umkhosi ngaphandle kwabo,” kusho u-Céline Petit, omele inyunyana yabasebenzi ye-CGT, ehola ukuphikiswa kwezinguquko iMacron aseyisayinile yaba umthetho.
Njengoba ihlulekile ukuguqula ukuvinjelwa kwemibhikisho ezinkantolo, i-CGT yathola indlela yokuyizungeza, yenza umbuthano omncane wabasebenzi bokwamukela izihambi ezindaweni ezizimele, ngaphandle nje kompheme ongaphambili wehhotela elaziwa kakhulu lesigodlo saseCannes, elinezivakashi zalo nyaka ezihlanganisa isithonjana sefilimu nomkhosi othandekayo uMartin Scorsese.
Ukusetshenziswa kwehhotela elizimele bekusho ukuthi umbuthano wawuvunyelwe ngokobuchwepheshe, ngaphansi kombandela wokuthi ababhikishi – ingxube yabamele izinyunyana nabasebenzi basezimboni zamahhotela nezimboni zokudla – bangabi ngaphezu kweshumi nambili.
Benesibindi sokuna, bavula isibhengezo esikhulu esasifundeka kanje, “Cha izinguquko zempesheni”. Indawo ecwebezelayo, enomnyango weCarlton esanda kulungiswa ngemuva, yenze ukuntuleka kwezinombolo.

Abekho abathwali, akukho mkhosi
Ukulungiswa kabusha kwempesheni kaMacron kukhuphula iminyaka yobudala yokuthatha umhlalaphansi ezweni isuka ku-62 iye kwengama-64 futhi kuqinisa izidingo zempesheni ephelele, okuyisinyathelo uhulumeni athi siyadingeka ukulinganisa izincwadi phakathi nokuguquguquka kwezibalo zabantu.
Izinyunyana, nokho, zithi lezi zinguquko azinabo ubulungiswa, zithinta ikakhulukazi abesifazane abanemisebenzi engapheli kanye nabasebenzi abanamakhono aphansi abaqala imisebenzi yabo kusenesikhathi futhi benemisebenzi ecindezela ngokomzimba – bona “izisebenzi ezibalulekile” ezamukelwa ngesikhathi sodlame lweCovid.
Ngaphandle kwabasebenzi baseCarlton abangama-680, kanye nezinkulungwane ezengeziwe eziqashwe emkhakheni wezokwamukela izihambi obalulekile edolobheni laseRiviera, “ayikho into ezokwenzeka eCannes”, kusho uRomiti. “Kodwa abahlanzi, abathwali bempahla, oweta, abapheki – bonke bayimisebenzi ekhandlayo, akunakwenzeka ukuqhubeka kuze kube ngu-64,” wengeza.
Uhulumeni uphinde wabhekana nokugxekwa okuqinile ngesikhathi sokuguqulwa kwawo, okuza ngemuva kwalolu bhubhane naphakathi nenkinga yokwehla kwamandla emali.
“Impela bekungelona ithuba elihle, ingasaphathwa eyezinga eliphezulu,” kusho uRomiti. “Futhi bekungeyona intando yeningi,” engeza, ebhekisa ekusebenziseni kukahulumeni amandla akhethekile ukuze azungeze iphalamende, yize iningi labantu baseFrance lenqaba lolu shintsho.

Ukungavikeleki emsebenzini
Ababhikishi bebebuthene ngaphandle kwaseCarlton bathi isiphakamiso sikahulumeni sempesheni sisongela ukubhebhethekisa izinkinga zesakhiwo embonini esivele ibhekene nokushoda okukhulu.

UMathilde uthe ukuncishiswa kukahulumeni kwakamuva kwezinzuzo zokungasebenzi kwenze impilo yaba nzima kubasebenzi besizini abathembele kubo amafestiveli amafilimu, kanti ukulungiswa kwakamuva kwempesheni kuzokwenza kube nzima kubasebenzi abanemisebenzi ephazamisekile ukuthi bafanelekele impesheni.
“Akusafanele ukusebenza kumafestiveli, namafestivali awasakwazi ukuqhubeka ngaphandle kwethu,” kusho yena.
