UMasipala weSithili sase-Amathole uthe awunakukwazi ukubonelela ngeenkcukacha malunga nobungakanani benkqubo yokuhlawula umhlala-phantsi engacwangciswanga ezuzisa abasebenzi abangafanelekiyo.
Umasipala ngaphambili ekuqaleni kwalonyaka wafumanisa ukuba malunga nabasebenzi abangamashumi amabini (20) kumanqanaba ahlukeneyo benze izicelo ezingacwangciswanga, eziye zagxekwa ngumasipala waseMpuma Koloni.
Abasebenzi abaneminyaka yobudala bomhlala-phantsi kwaye basasebenza kumasipala wesithili, onesihlalo sakhe solawulo kwiSixeko saKuGompo.
UMasipala weSithili sase-Amathole, owenziwe ngoomasipala abathandathu baseMpuma Koloni, uthe uphando lwabo ngenkqubo yomhlala-phantsi engacwangciswanga luyaqhubeka.
Umasipala usebenzisa ikakhulu i-LA Retirement Fund, kodwa abanye abasebenzi basebenzisa iimali ezifana ne-Consolidated Retirement Fund (CRF) okanye i-Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF).
Isithethi sikaMasipala uSisa Msiza uthe ngumphathi kaMasipala uBhekisisa Mthembu ofumanise izicelo ezingacwangciswanga ekuqhutyweni kwezicelo ze-pension fund ngabasebenzi abaliqela.
“Ngenxa yoko, ukhokele uphando lwangaphakathi ngoko nangoko kuloo mbandela. Ngoku, ngenxa yokuba uphando luyaqhubeka kwaye lubandakanya abasebenzi abathile, umasipala akakwazi ukutyhila amanani okanye iinkcukacha zomntu ngamnye okwangoku.”
UMsiza uthe akukho mntu uza kukhululwa ekuthwalisweni uxanduva ngesi sicwangciso singaqhelekanga.
“UGqr. Mthembu ebengacaci kakuhle kwinqaku loxanduva apho lusebenza ngaphandle kokukhetha, nokuba umsebenzi uthini okanye isikhundla sakhe.”
UMsiza uthe umasipala uza kubonelela ngohlaziyo olongezelelweyo kunye nohlalutyo lweendleko xa uphando lugqityiwe.
