INkundla ePhakamileyo yaseGqeberha ikhuphe isigwebo esingecala likaSodolophu womaspala ombaxa wase Nelson Mandela Bay uGary van Niekerk ukuba athintele ikomishoni yonyulo ezimeleyo ukuba ithathe indawo yakhe kunye nogxa wakhe onguceba weNational Alliance uStag Mitchell njengooceba kumasipala ombaxa.
Inkundla inike uVan Niekerk noMitchel umyalelo wethutyana wokuba baqhubeke nomsebenzi wabo njengooceba. Aba babini bafake isicelo esingxamisekileyo sokuvala i-IEC ukuba ilungise ingxelo yayo, emva kokuba uManejala weSixeko uGqirha Noxolo Nqwazi ebhengeze izithuba kwizithuba zabo zobubhunga.
Bagxothwe bengekho kudliwano-ndlebe ngethuba lengxoxo yoluleko liqela lombutho wesizwe ekuqaleni kwale nyanga. Umyalelo wethutyana uya kusebenza ngokuxhomekeke kwisiphumo secandelo B lesicelo, esijolise ekumiseleni ukuba semthethweni kwamacandelo amabini e-NA kunye nenkongolo eyonyule iinkokeli zeqela le-NA elagxotha uVan Niekerk.
Isibhengezo sesithuba sesixeko malunga nezikhundla zikaVan Niekerk noMitchell, sidale umoya wokungaqiniseki kwibhunga.
Ngexesha uNqwazi ebhalele i-IEC, ikamva lakhe laliza kugqitywa kwintlanganiso yebhunga ebeyicwangcisiwe nanjengoko engumtyholwa kwityala lobuqhophololo lezigidi ezingamashumi amabini anesine (R24-million) kwesi sixeko.
Kodwa intlanganiso yamiswa ngomzuzu wokugqibela ngenxa yesibhengezo sezithuba. Ukungabikho kooceba ababini beNdibaniselwano yeSizwe kwibhunga bekuza kubeka urhulumente wobumbano okhoyo engxakini ngokwamanani kwibhunga, nto leyo edala umqobo.
I-National Alliance ikurhulumente womdibaniso neANC, EFF, PAC, AIC kunye nePA. Igqiza lamagqwetha kaVan Niekerk lithethe enkundleni ngelithi izenzo zikaNqwazi azikho mthethweni nanjengoko aba ceba babini bebengaziswanga.
Iqela lezomthetho lommangalelwa lithe zonke iinkqubo zilandelwe kwaye akukho mfuneko yokwazisa ooceba babini njengoko ekholelwa ukuba ulwakhiwo olwamazisayo yayiliqumrhu elisemthethweni. UVan Niekerk uthi olu luloyiso kubahlali baseNelson Mandela Bay.
“Isigqibo sikaJaji uDenzel Potgieter sokunika isithintelo esichasene nokuvalwa kwezithuba ezichazwe ngokungekho mthethweni ngummeli we-National Alliance kuquka notyholwa ngobuqhetseba uManejala weSixeko luloyiso lolawulo olululo. Isiphithiphithi esidalwe sisenzo sobuqhophololo senziwe ngabom kwisigqeba sikaMasipala waseNelson Mandela Bay, kulawulo lwakhe kunye nangathanga ngqo kubahlali bakhe. Ukurhoxisa inkqubo yoluleko kuGqirha Noxolo Nqwazi.”
UVan Niekerk kunye noMitchell bagxothwa kwiqela bengekho xa indibano yoluleko eyayibanjwe liqela leNdlu yoWiso-mthetho yabafumana benetyala lokuzisa iqela ehlazweni. Aba babini bajikela enkundleni ukuba iyimise inkqubo kodwa inkundla yagweba ngokuchasene nabo. Iqela leNA elibagxothileyo lithi nangona lo mbutho ungasichasanga isicelo esingxamisekileyo, uhleli usisakhiwo esisemthethweni.
USihlalo weSizwe we-Parallel Structure, u-Kerwin Stuurman, uthi “Ekuphela kokulahlekelwa namhlanje ngamaqumrhu oMfelandawonye weSizwe. Kuphinde kwavinjwa ilungelo lokumelwa ngabo babanyulileyo kwinkongolo yesi-2 yonyulo yoMfelandawonye weSizwe ebibizwe ngokufanelekileyo.”
Kulindeleke ukuba kubanjwe indibano yebhunga kulo Lwesihlanu nalapho kuza kuthathwa isigqibo ngekamva likaNqwazi. Iinzame zokufumana uluvo kuManejala weSixeko aziphumelelanga
