UMasipala weSithili sase-O.R. Tambo uvele phambi kweKomiti eSisigxina yeeAkhawunti zikaRhulumente (i-SCOPA) yePalamente yaseMzantsi Afrika ngoLwesibini, umhla weshumi (10( kweyoKwindla 2026, njengenxalenye yokongamela okuqhubekayo kwePalamente kumaziko karhulumente.
Iikomiti zePalamente ezifana ne-SCOPA zidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuqiniseni uxanduva lwentando yesininzi ngokuhlaziya iziphumo zophicotho-zincwadi, iinkqubo zolawulo kunye nokuphunyezwa kweenkqubo zeziseko zophuhliso zikarhulumente kumaziko karhulumente.
Olu dliwano-ndlebe lulandela utyelelo lolawulo lweveki yonke olwenziwe si-SCOPA ngenyanga yoKwindla ka2025, apho amalungu ekomiti ahlola ulawulo lukamasipala, iinkqubo zeziseko zophuhliso kunye neenkqubo zolawulo lwemali kwisithili.
Njengenxalenye yophononongo lwayo, ikomiti ikwaqwalasele uhlaziyo oluvela kumaziko aquka uMphicothi-zincwadi Jikelele waseMzantsi Afrika kunye neYunithi yoPhando oluKhethekileyo, oluxhasa uxanduva ngeenkqubo zophicotho-zincwadi kunye nophando malunga nokungahambi kakuhle kumaziko karhulumente.
Ngexesha leseshoni, umasipala unike ikomiti uhlaziyo ngemicimbi ephakanyiswe ngexesha lenkqubo yophicotho-zincwadi, kubandakanya ulawulo lwenkcitho, uphuculo lolawulo kunye nemeko yeenkqubo zeziseko zophuhliso ezibalulekileyo kwisithili sonke.
Ubukhokheli bukamasipala buqinisekisile ukuzibophelela kukamasipala ekusebenzisaneni ngokupheleleyo namaziko olawulo kunye nokuphumeza amanyathelo okulungisa ajolise ekuqiniseni ulawulo lwezemali, iinkqubo zokuthenga kunye neenkqubo zokubeka esweni iiprojekthi.
Phakathi kweenkqubo zeziseko zophuhliso ezixoxwe ngazo kwakukho iNkqubo yoNikezelo lwaManzi yeSithili saseNtsonyini–Ngqongweni, iprojekthi enkulu yesithili ejolise ekwandiseni ukufikelela kwamanzi okuthembekileyo kuluntu lwaseNyandeni nasePort St Johns. Iiprojekthi zamanzi ezininzi zesithili zalo mlinganiselo zibandakanya imisebenzi yobunjineli enzima, izigaba zokwakha zeminyaka emininzi kunye nokulungelelaniswa phakathi kwabachaphazelekayo abaninzi.
Ukuphuculwa kweThornhill Water Treatment Works, okuyinxalenye yenkqubo ebanzi yokuqinisa inkqubo yonikezelo lwamanzi ekhonza uMthatha kunye noluntu olujikelezileyo, nako kwaqwalaselwa ngexesha lokubandakanyeka.
Ubukhokheli bukamasipala bunike uhlaziyo malunga nemeko yezi projekthi, izinto ezinegalelo ekulibazisekeni kokuphunyezwa kwiimeko ezithile kunye namanyathelo athathwayo okuqinisa ukujonga nokukhawulezisa ukunikezelwa kweziseko zophuhliso.
Umasipala ugxininise ukuba ukuphucula ukufikelela kwamanzi kuso sonke isithili kusaqhubeka nokuba yinto ephambili. Amanyathelo asetyenziswa ukuqinisa ukujonga iiprojekthi, ukuphucula ukunxibelelana neearhente zokuphumeza kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba iingcebiso zolawulo ezivela kwiinkqubo zokujonga ziyajongwa.
Ukubeka iliso kwiPalamente kusaqhubeka kuyindlela ebalulekileyo yokuqinisa uxanduva ngelixa kuxhaswa amaziko ekuphuculeni iinkqubo ezibonelela ngeenkonzo ezibalulekileyo kuluntu.
Kubemi kuso sonke iSithili sase-O.R. Tambo, ingqwalasela eqhubekayo isaqhubeka nokuqinisa ulawulo kunye nokuphucula iinkqubo zeziseko zophuhliso eziphucula ukufikelela kwiinkonzo zamanzi ezithembekileyo kunye nezinye iinkonzo ezibalulekileyo zikamasipala.
