NgeCawa, ngomhla (06) ngeyekhala 2025. Iqela le-Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) livakalise ukuxhalaba okumandla emva kokudizwa koqhushululu oluvezwe nguMkomishinala wePhondo laKwaZulu-Natal uLieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, ngethuba ebethetha nonondaba izolo, umhla wesixhenxe (07) kweyeKhala 2025. Oku bekumalunga nokuchithwa kweqela elijongene nokubulawa kwabantu bezopolitiko.
Le ngcaciso ibhentsisa ubukho beqela lolwaphulo-mthetho elinamandla, elilungelelanisiweyo elisebenza kuwona manqanaba aphezulu kurhulumente woMzantsi Afrika. Eli qumrhu liquka abezopolitiko abaphezulu, amagosa asebupoliseni, amagosa eenkonzo zoluleko, amapolisa kamasipala, abatshutshisi, amalungu enkundla, kunye noosomashishini abanempembelelo, kwaye bexhaswa yimisebenzi yoshishino lweziyobisi olufikelela nzulu eRhawutini naKwaZulu-Natal.
NgokukaMkomishinala uMkhwanazi, eli qela lolwaphulo-mthetho lingene kuyo yonke inkqubo yobulungisa kulwaphulo-mthetho kwaye lisebenza ukujongela phantsi uphando, likhusela abaphuli-mthetho, kunye nokubuyisela izixhobo zoluntu ukuxhasa amaphulo ezopolitiko ngeethenda ezinobuqhophololo kunye nokhuseleko.
IQela lokuBulawa lwabezoPolitiko, ebeliphanda ubugebenga obuphezulu kunye nokudilizwa kwamaqela, liye laba lixhoba lothungelwano emva kokuba liqale ukuveza unxulumano phakathi kolwaphulo-mthetho olulungelelanisiweyo kunye namagosa amakhulu kurhulumente.
Ukusukela ekusekweni kwalo ngo-2018, iQela lokuBulawa lwabezoPolitiko lizuze iziphumo ezimangalisayo ekulweni ubundlobongela obuphenjelelwa yipolitiki.
Eli qela liye lachophela amatyala antsonkothileyo angaphezu kwamakhulu amathandathu (600) ukususela ekubulaweni nasekuzameni ukubulala ukusa kwizigrogriso nokuzenzela iyelenqe. Olu phando lukhokelele ekubanjweni nasekutshutshisweni kwamakhulu abantu, kuqukwa namapolisa angamashumi amathathu anesihlanu (35) nawo abandakanyeka ekuthinteleni ubulungisa.
Kule nkqubo, imipu engaphezulu kwekhulu elinamashumi amahlanu (150) yathinjwa, uninzi lwayo idityaniswe ngokuqinisekileyo nokubulawa kwezopolitiko ngokuhlalutywa kwebhola. Iinkundla ziye zafumanisa abantu abangaphezu kwekhulu elinamashumi amabini (120) benetyala kumatyala ohlukeneyo angaphezu kwekhulu (100), nto leyo ebangele intaphane yokuthothoza kobomi babo bonke kunye nesigwebo seminyaka engaphezu kwewaka elinamakhulu asibhoza (1,800) entolongweni.
Ezi ziphumo zimele olona loyiso lubalulekileyo lokutshutshisa kwimbali yakutshanje yeSAPS, iqaqambisa ubuchule kunye nemfezeko yeqela elichithwayo ngoku hayi ngenxa yokuba liye lasilela, kodwa kanye ngenxa yokuba liye laphumelela ukutyhila inyaniso engathandekiyo yokuba ngubani ozuza ngokwenene kubundlobongela nokuchas’ umthetho kweli lizwe.
Phakathi kweenkcukacha ezothusayo zidiza ukuba oyena mntu uphambili kwezopolitiko nguMphathiswa wamaPolisa, uSenzo Mchunu, ochaphazeleka ngokuthe ngqo kukonakalisa uphando lwamapolisa. Umphathiswa kutyholwa ngokuba uyalele ukuchithwa kweQela lokuBulawa lwabezoPolitiko kunye nokurhoxiswa kwamatyala angaphezulu kwekhulu elinamashumi amabini (120), inyathelo elijonge ukudodobalisa uphando oluqhubekayo malunga nokubulawa kwezopolitiko, ukubulawa kweenkokeli zemveli, kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho olulungelelanisiweyo erhawutini.
Ukomishinala uMkhwanazi ukwangqinile ukuba oku kuchithwa kwetyala kuqulunqwe nguSekela komishinala kuzwelonke ojongene nokuchotshelwa kolwaphulo-mthetho uLieutenant General Sibiya, elandela umyalelo othe ngqo ovela kuMphathiswa uMchunu, ngaphandle kwegunya elivela kooKomishinala bakaZwelonke okanye bamaPhondo.
Ngaphaya koko, usomashishini ogama linguVusimuzi “CAT” uMatlala, okwangumtyholwa nokwafumana iithenda zeSAPS, wafunyaniswa exhasa ngezimali imisebenzi yezopolitiko yoMphathiswa uMchunu nogxa wakhe uMnu. UBrown Mogotsi, kuqukwa nolungiselelo lwemisitho yezopolitiko kunye nesidlo sangokuhlwa esinxulunyaniswa ne-African National Congress (ANC).
Okunye okuveziweyo kubonisa ukungenelela kwaba bantu ngokuthe ngqo kwiinkqubo zokuthengwa kweempahla neenkonzo, kunye nentsebenziswano kwiinzame zokunqumamisa uMkomishinala uMkhwanazi ngokwakhe ukuze enze uphando olunzulu.
Eli nqanaba lonxibelelaniso, loncedo, kunye nokhuseleko lwezopolitiko lungqina uluvo ekudala lukho kwi-EFF lokuba urhulumente okhokelwa yi-ANC usuke waba liziko lombuso wesiphithiphithi, apho iofisi yezopolitiko isetyenziselwa ukungasebenzeli abantu, koko ukukhusela izaphuli-mthetho nokuhlutha ubutyebi boluntu.
Oku kungqinwe kungekudala kakhulu nguMlawuli weSizwe woTshutshiso loLuntu we-NPA uShamila Batohi owaqaqambisa ukungenwa kwegunyabantu lotshutshiso nto leyo eyenza ukuba kube nzima ukutshutshisa amatyala ngokufanelekileyo. Ngokwenyani, urhulumente we-ANC, esebenzisa abantu abafana noSenzo Mchunu, uwuguqule lo mbuso ukuba ube yindawo yemigulukudu ezenza iinkokeli.
I-EFF imothulela umnqwazi uLieutenant General Mkhwanazi ngobugorha bakhe bokumelana neli qela lolwaphulo-mthetho. Ukuma kwakhe okusesikweni nokuzinikela kwakhe kulawulo lomthetho kuyancomeka, ngakumbi xa ejongene nephulo langabom lokutyhoboza lezopolitiko elilungiselelwe ukujongela phantsi ubunkokeli bakhe kunye nokumbeka yedwa kwi-SAPS.
Ukuphendula kolu hlaziyo i-EFF icele ukuba uSihlalo weKomiti yePotfoliyo yamaPolisa, uLan Cameron, abize ikomiti engxamisekileyo yePortfolio ehleliyo kuMphathiswa wamaPolisa malunga nemiba ephakanyiswe ngukomishinala uMkhwanazi.
