Kudutshulwe kwabulawa inkosi yamazamazama angaphandle eSOWETO

Enqubeni enkulu yokugcinwa komthetho, inkosi yezimayini engekho emthethweni idutshulwe yabulawa ngesikhathi somkhankaso wamaPhoyisa aseNingizimu Afrika (SAPS) eSoweto. Umufi, ongowokudabuka eLesotho, kusolakala ukuthi uyamataniswa nohide lwamacala angu-29 okubulala ahlobene nezimayini abikwe esifundazweni saseGauteng.

Amaphoyisa adubule inkosi yezimayini ebifunwa kakhulu nebimaniswa namacala okubulala angu-29 okuhlanganisa nesigameko sokudubula inqwaba endaweni yokucima ukoma eNomzamo Park, eSoweto lapho umdubuli wavulela ngenhlamvu ebhekise kubathengi ngoJulayi 2022. Okhulumela amaphoyisa kuzwelonke, u-Athlenda Mathe, uthe umsolwa ongowokuzalwa eLesotho ulandelwe umkhondo eJabulani eSoweto ngempelasonto. Unqabile ukuboshwa kanti kuthiwa ukhombe iphoyisa elimdubule washona ngesibhamu.

UMathe uthi lolu hlelo luyingxenye ye-Operation Vala Umgodi. “Ngesonto eledlule, amathimba ezinhlaka ezehlukene ezifundazweni ezehlukene aphinde abhalisa impumelelo ehlanganisa umkhankaso wokuthungatha umkhondo lapho kuboshwe abasolwa abangu-62 eLimpopo nabayisishiyagalolunye eNyakatho Kapa ngamacala okumba izimayini ngokungemthetho. Ngo-Ephreli, lona leli thimba lishaqe u-R1 million wemali kanye nenqwaba yezimpahla zezimayini ezingekho emthethweni njengeziqhumane nemishini yokumba. Selokhu yasungulwa ngoDisemba 2023, kushaqwe amadayimane angasikiwe angu-7130 abiza u-R32-million.”

Lo mkhankaso obizwa nge-Operation Vala Umgodi uholele ekutheni kuboshwe abasolwa abangu-4 774 okukholakala ukuthi bayabandakanyeka ezenzweni zokumba izimayini ezingekho emthethweni. Ukwengeza, iziphathimandla zishaqe isamba esimangalisayo samadayimane esingasikiwe esingabiza u-R32 million, okuqhubekisele phambili nokuphazamisa ukusebenza kwezimayini ngokungemthetho ezikhungethe isifunda.

Lo msebenzi oyimpumelelo uphawula igalelo eliwujuqu ngokumelene namanethiwekhi obugebengu ahlomula ngezimayini ezingekho emthethweni futhi ugcizelela ukuzibophezela kwama-ejensi aqinisekisa ukuthotshelwa komthetho ukulwa nobugebengu obuhleliwe. Olunye uphenyo luyaqhubeka ukuze kuhlakazwe izingxenye ezisele zalezi zinkampani zobugebengu futhi kugwetshwe bonke abenzi bokubi.
