UMasipala weSithili saseSarah Baartman, ngentsebenziswano noMasipala weNgingqi waseKoukamma kunye neNkonzo yesiPolisa yoMzantsi Afrika, baphehlelele iNyanga yabaseTyhini namhlanje ngonikezelo lweenkonzo olubanzi eMisgund naseKrakeel.
Embindini wemisebenzi yosuku ibikukuxhotyiswa kwabasetyhini basekuhlaleni abalishumi elinesithandathu (16) abaphuma kwezi dolophu zimbini, nabathe baqeshwa ngokusesikweni kwiNkqubo eYandisiweyo yeMisebenzi yoLuntu (EPWP) kwisabelo seenyanga ezintathu esigxile ekucoceni iindawo zokulahla inkunkuma ngokungekho mthethweni kulo mmandla. Aba basetyhini bayinxalenye yeqela labasebenzi abangamashumi amabini (20) beEPWP, ezine ezishiyekileyo ziphethwe ngamadoda asekuhlaleni.
Ukongeza kwithuba lomsebenzi, abasebenzi beEPWP banikwe isiXhobo esipheleleyo soKhuseleko loMntu (PPE), esibandakanya iiovarol, iibhutsi zokhuseleko, iiglavu, kunye neemaski. Ukuze baxhase eli phulo lokucoca, baye bafumana izixhobo nezinto ezifana neekiriva, imihlakulo, iiharika, imitshayelo, iingxowa zenkunkuma noomatshini bokusika ingca.
Ufikelelo luqaqambise indima ebalulekileyo edlalwa ngabasetyhini kulawulo lokusingqongileyo kunye nophuhliso lwengingqi. UMasipala weSithili ukwanike uMasipala waseKoukamma isithuthi somlilo kunye nesohlangulo esifakelwe iyunithi yokutyibiliza, ulwakhiwo olukhulu kumthamo wokusabela kwingxakeko yasekhaya.
Isithuthi kulindeleke ukuba siphucule iinzame zokulwa nomlilo, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezisemaphandleni kunye neendawo ezithandwa ziintlekele kumasipala.
