IDemocratic Alliance izovulela uNgqongqoshe uBlade Nzimande amacala obugebengu

IDemocratic Alliance izovulela uNgqongqoshe uBlade Nzimande amacala obugebengu. Leli qembu lifuna nokumemezela ibhodi le-NSFAS njengehlongandlebe. Umholi weDemocratic Alliance (DA), uMnuz John Steenhuisen, usebize uMengameli Cyril Ramaphosa “ngegwala” lokuvikela abantu abakhohlakele ngenxa yesifiso sokuqhubeka nokubusa ngazo zonke izindlela. Uphinde wasola uNgqongqoshe wezeMfundo ePhakeme, iSayensi nokuQala uBlade Nzimande nomphathi weNational Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas), uMnuz Randall Carolissen, ngenkohlakalo nokungakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi wabo, wathi babhebhethekisa usizi lwabafundi baphuca ikusasa labo.

Izinsolo zikaSteenhuisen zisukela embikweni we-Werksmans Attorneys, othole ukuthi iNsfas ikhiphe amathenda aqondile kanye nendawo yokuhlala ebiza u-R1.4 billion ezinkampanini ezixhumene noNzimande neSouth African Communist Party (SACP), ngaphandle kokulandela inqubo efanele yokuthenga. Umbiko uphinde wathola ukuthi uCarolissen wehlulekile wukuqapha kanye nokuziphendulela kulolu hlelo.

USteenhuisen uthe lawa kwakungewona “amacala angenazisulu”, kodwa aphuce izinkulungwane zabafundi uxhaso olufanele nokufinyelela emfundweni. Uthe uRamaphosa ukhombise ukuntula ubuholi nesibindi ngokungabathatheli izinyathelo uNzimande noCarolissen yize bewazi ngalo mbiko kusukela ngonyaka odlule.

USteenhuisen uthe iDA izothathela uNzimande noCarolissen izinyathelo zomthetho, iphinde ifune nokwandisa uphenyo lweSpecial Investigating Unit (SIU) mayelana nezinsolo zokungahanjiswa ngendlela kwamathenda akwaNsfas. Uphinde wathi iDA izohlanganisa abafundi ezweni lonke ukuze bacindezele uRamaphosa ukuthi axoshe uNzimande.

Nokho umhlaziyi wezepolitiki, uMnuz Sandile Swana, uthe mancane amathuba okuthi uRamaphosa amxoshe uNzimande ophinde abe nguNobhala-Jikelele we-SACP ongumfelandawonye weqembu elibusayo i-African National Congress (ANC). Uthe uRamaphosa udinga ukwesekwa nguNzimande ukuze kugcinwe ubumbano nokuzinza komfelandawonye wezingxenye ezintathu, ikakhulukazi ngaphambi kokhetho lohulumeni basekhaya ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka.

USwana uthe uRamaphosa angase akhethe ukusebenzisa indlela ecophelelayo, njengokucela ukuthi kuqhutshekwe nophenyo, ukubhekwa kwephalamende kanye nokubambisana noKlebe, uphiko lwamaphoyisa asezingeni eliphezulu. Uthe uRamaphosa kumele alinganise izimfuno zokulwa nenkohlakalo nokugcina ukuzwana kwezepolitiki phakathi komfelandawonye.
