Amaqembu ezombusazwe afuna kubuyiselwe uMasemola emsebenzini

I-South African Communist Party (SACP) isijoyine ikhwelo lokuba uGeneral Fannie Masemola abuyiselwe ngokushesha esikhundleni sokuba yiKhomishana yamaphoyisa kazwelonke ngemuva kokuhoxiswa kwamacala obugebengu abebhekene nawo.

I-National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) iyalele ukuba kuhoxiswe amacala amane abebhekene noMasemola ngemuva kokuba i-NDPP Advocate Andy Mothibi ibuyekeze icala yabe isiphetha ngokuthi bekungekho thuba elihle lokuphumelela ecaleni enkantolo. La macala ahoxiswe ngokusemthethweni eNkantolo yamaMantshi yasePitoli ngomhla zingama-22 kuMandulo.

Amacala abehlobene nokwephulwa okusolwayo koMthetho Wokuphathwa Kwezimali Zomphakathi (PFMA) mayelana nethenda yezinsizakalo zezempilo phakathi kwe-SAPS ne-Medicare24, eyayinikezwe inkampani ehlobene nosomabhizinisi uVusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.

I-NPA ithe uMothibi ubheke ubufakazi obuqoqwe yi-Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), umbiko wephaneli ehlola amacala kanye nokuhlolwa okwenziwe ngummeli omkhulu ozimele ngaphambi kokuyalela ukuba kuhoxiswe amacala. Le nhlangano iphinde yathi kuzohlolwa izimo ezihambisana naleli cala ukuze kutholakale ukuthi kukhona yini ukuziphatha okungalungile okwenzekile.

UMasemola wamiswa emsebenzini okwesikhashana nguMongameli uCyril Ramaphosa ngoMbasa, ngemuva nje kokuba ebonakale enkantolo. ULieutenant-General Puleng Dimpane ubesebenza njengeKhomishana yamaphoyisa kazwelonke yesikhashana. Ukuhoxiswa kwamacala obugebengu akusho ukuthi ukumiswa kukaMasemola kuphela ngokuzenzakalelayo; ukubuya kwakhe kudinga isinqumo sikaMongameli.

UMasemola ubonise ukuthi ukulungele ukubuyela esikhundleni sakhe. Ekhuluma ngaphandle kwenkantolo ngemuva kokuhoxiswa kwamacala, uchaze izinyanga ezimbalwa ezedlule njengohambo olunzima futhi wathi uzokulungela ukuqhubeka nemisebenzi yakhe uma ebizwa ukuba abuye.

Manje i-SACP icela uMongameli ukuba abuyisele uMasemola esikhundleni sakhe futhi iphakamise ukukhathazeka okubanzi mayelana nendlela leli cala eliphathwe ngayo kanye nohlelo lwezobulungiswa bobugebengu.

I-South African Policing Union (SAPU) nayo ngaphambilini icela uRamaphosa ukuba abuyise uMasemola, kanti inyunyana igcizelela ukuthi bekungekho sizathu sokuba aqhubeke emisiwe emsebenzini ngemuva kokuhoxiswa kwamacala.

Ukuhoxiswa kwalawa macala kuphinde kwadonsa ukunaka okusha mayelana nophenyo kanye nokuqhutshwa kwaleli cala enkantolo. I-NPA ithe izokwenza umbiko wePhaneli Ehlola Amacala (Case Assessment Panel) utholakale kumjaji we-IDAC ukuze ahlole izimo ezihambisana nokushushiswa kwecala futhi anqume ukuthi ngabe kwaba khona yini ukuziphatha okungafanele.

Okwamanje, uMasemola usamisiwe emsebenzini kulindwe isinqumo sikaRamaphosa mayelana nokubuyela kwakhe esikhundleni.
