Abokufika abangekho emthethweni baduna izakhiwo futhi baziqashele abantu bendawo

Kusolwa abokufika abangenazo izincwadi zokuba kuleli ngokuthi baxhashaze amabhilidi angasasebenzi kuma-metro abalulekile ezweni lonke, kanti omasipala babhekene nezinselelo zokubhekana nalolu daba ngenxa yezinkinga eziningi.

Isigcawu sesine sabameli bakamasipala kuzwelonke, ebesiseThekwini ngeledlule, sicacise ngezingqinamba ezithinta ukudunwa kwamabhilidi kanye nemigoqo yomthetho evimbela ukuthi kuthathwe izinyathelo ezisheshayo. Lo mcimbi obuhlelwe yiSouth African Local Government Association (Salga), ubuhlanganise izimenenja zomasipala, izikhulu zezezimali, nabeluleki bezomthetho ukudingida izindaba ezibalulekile zomthetho ezithinta uhulumeni wasekhaya.

ULance Joel, ongusihlalo weSalga kuzwelonke wenhlangano esebenzisana nezokubusa nobudlelwano bamazwe ngamazwe, uveze izinselelo omasipala ababhekene nazo ekubhekaneni nokudunwa kwezakhiwo, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezingaphansi kweTheku, iDolobha laseGoli, neTshwane.

NgokukaLance, lezi zakhiwo zibhekiswe kubantu abasebenzisa ithuba lokungabaza komasipala ukuzikhipha ngenxa yezindleko nobunzima obuhambisana nokuthola izincwadi zokuxoshwa.

Ugcizelele ukuthi uhlelo lokubuyiselwa kwezakhiwo eziduniwe lubandakanya izinqubo ezikhandlayo ezinkantolo futhi luthwalisa kanzima omasipala, ngoba banesibopho sokuhlinzeka ngezinye izindawo zokuhlala kubantu abaxoshwayo.

“Lolu hlelo luyabiza komasipala ngoba uma sebebaxoshile abantu banesibopho sokubatholela enye indawo yokuhlala. Izakhiwo nazo akuzona ezabomasipala; bangabanikazi bawo ngasese. Kumele sisebenzisane nezinhlaka ezehlukene njengoMnyango wezaseKhaya ngoba kukhona abokufika ngokungemthetho abathintekayo,” usho kanje.

Ukudunwa kwempahla akuyona nje into ekhathaza omasipala kodwa futhi kuyingozi kwezokuphepha kuzwelonke, njengoba kugqanyiswe uLance.

Ukubandakanyeka kwabokufika kuleli ngokungemthetho kwenza isimo sibe nzima, sidinga ukusebenzisana nezinhlaka ezahlukene, okuhlanganisa noMnyango Wezasekhaya.

ULance uvume inkimbinkimbi yezinqubo zomthetho ezihilelekile ekubhekaneni nokudunwa kwezakhiwo futhi wagcizelela ukubaluleka kokusebenzisana ngokubambisana nababambiqhaza ukuze kutholakale izisombululo ezisimeme.

Ubalule ukuthi nakuba bekhona abameli phakathi komasipala, isimo secala ngalinye siyehluka, okuholela ekubeni kube nezinselelo ekuxazululeni izinkinga ngaphandle kwenkantolo nokudinga ukuqulwa kwamacala abizayo.
