Isihelegu sigungqise uluntu lwaseReeston eMonti emva kokuba inkwenkwana eneminyaka emihlanu ubudala iye yarhaxwa kwitanki lamanzi ngoMgqibelo umhla wamashumi amabini anesibhozo (28) kweyeSilimela ngo-2025. Amaqela angxamisekileyo aye agxalathelana kwindawo yexhwayelo emva kokutsalelwa umnxeba malunga nentsimbi yesine (16:00), kodwa ngaphandle kwemigudu yawo, umntwana uye wafunyanwa efile.
Ngokwengxelo yamapolisa, abantwana ababini bebedlala kule ndawo ngethuba umhlali okufutshane esiva isandi somnye wabo engena etankini lamanzi.
“Kutyholwa ukuba uye waya kwitanki yelindle wabona inkwenkwana eneminyaka emihlanu engaphakathi izama ukuqubha, waze wayocela uncedo kuluntu ukuze ikwazi ukuhlangulwa le nkwenkwana,” itshilo iSAPS.
AbezoHlangulo eBCM, iSebe lezoMlilo kuMasipala oMbaxa waseBuffalo City, abo be-SAPS K9, kunye neYunithi yamaLungelo oLuntu naBantu abaLahlekileyo eMpuma Koloni baphendule ngokukhawuleza, kodwa kuthathe iiyure ukukhupha umzimba womntwana ngaphandle. AbezoNcedo lokuQala kwindawo yesiganeko kamva baye baqinisekisa ukusweleka kolu sana. Usapho lwakhe, lachonga lo mntwana njengomntakwabo.
Idokethi yophando ivuliwe.
Itanki, eyakhiwe ngekonkile, iye yafunyanwa isivalo sayo singekho, nto leyo eyayibonakala iyingozi kukhuseleko. Abahlali batyhola ngelithi isiciko sibiwe ngabaqokeleli bentsimbi, nto leyo eshiya itanki ibekwe elubala. Ilahleko ebuhlungu ayithumelanga nje umothuko eReeston kodwa iphinde yavusa umsindo kwaye ibiza ukuphuculwa kwamanyathelo okhuseleko.
“Le lahleko ilusizi iluchaphazele ngokunzulu uluntu lwethu,” utshilo ummeli weYunithi yamaLungelo oLuntu kunye naBantu abaDumileyo.
“Igxininise imfuneko engxamisekileyo yokhuseleko olungcono lweziseko ezingundoqo ukuthintela ukulahleka kobunye ubomi obumsulwa.”
Njengoko uluntu lwaseReeston luzilile, kuphakanyiswa imibuzo malunga nokongamela kunye nokugcinwa kwamanzi oluntu nawabucala kunye namatanki elindle. Ziya zisanda izibhengezo zokuba umasipala nabahlali basebenzisane ukuze bakhusele iindawo eziyingozi, ingakumbi kwiindawo abadlala kuzo abantwana.
Ukufa okubuhlungu komntwana oneminyaka emihlanu (5) kusebenza njengesikhumbuzo esibuhlungu sesidingo sokuthatha amanyathelo ngokukhawuleza ukujongana nemingcipheko yokhuseleko kwiindawo ezisengozini.
