INdlu yabathembu iKumkani uBuyelekhaya Dalindyebo le nkokheli yemveli yaseMthatha uSakhi ‘Mareke’ Tau ibizibiza ngokuba iyinkosi, evakalisa ukukhululeka kwakhe ngokubhubha kukaMareke ezandleni zamapolisa.
Ngenjikalanga yangoLwesithathu, amapolisa aseMpuma Koloni adubule ze babulala inkosi yaseMareke, otyholwa ngokuphanga, nobulewe kukudubulana namapolisa.
Amanye amadoda amabini nawo onzakele ze abhubha kwaye ipolisa liyachacha esibhedlele emva kokufumana inxeba lokudutyulwa kwidabi lemipu. Umfi uye wadutyulwa ngamapolisa emva kokuba ewalandele kwisikhululo samapolisa sasekuhlaleni emva kokuba emiswe kumgaqo wamapolisa.
Kwingxelo kaKumkani uDalindyebo, uthi uMareke akazange abe yinkosi kummandla waseMthatha West.
Imisebenzi kaMareke, equka ubuqhetseba, ukubulala, kunye nobuzwilakhe, yayilulwaphulo-mthetho kwaye ingabonisi iinqobo ezisemgangathweni okanye ubume beenkokheli zemveli zabaThembu, yatsho ikumkani.
“UKumkani uye waphawula ukusweleka kozibiza ngokuba yinkosi uSakhi ‘Mareke’ Tau. Ukufa kwakhe kuzisa isiqabu kwabo baye bangcungcuthekiswa sisenzo sakhe solwaphulo-mthetho sokuphanga, ukubulala nobuzwilakhe.
“Sinethemba lokuba ukubhubha kwakhe kuza kuthumela umyalezo ocacileyo eluntwini wokuba umthetho mawuhlonitshwe ngamaxesha onke,” utshilo uKumkani Dalindyebo.
Le kumkani ithi babongoza iinkokeli zeCongress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (Contralesa) ukuba zihlukane nokumchaza njengenkosi.
“Inkosi iyazalwa, ayinyulwanga. UKumkani, kunye noRhulumente, abazange babuxhase ubukhosi bakhe. UBukumkani abayiqondi isizathu sokuba amajelo eendaba neContralesa basingqinele esi senzo sikhohlakeleyo,” itshilo ikumkani.
Kwenye ingxelo yendlu yabaThembu, uNkosana uZanothando Mtirara, uthe umzi wasebukhosini uzibophelele ekulweni izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ekuhlaleni.
“Zonke ezinye iinkalo zolwaphulo-mthetho zijongiwe, kwaye ziza kuqhubeka zisetyenzwa zii-arhente zogcino-mthetho.
“Simema bonke abanye abantu abazenza iinkosi kunye/okanye iinkokeli zemveli kule ndawo, evumela ukuba amashishini abo olwaphulo-mthetho arhoxe ngoko nangoko kwizenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho,” utshilo uNkosana uMtirara.
