Lokhu kwembulwa, okwenziwe ngesikhathi sokulalelwa kwekhomishini ephenya ngobugebengu, inkohlakalo, kanye nokungenelela kwezepolitiki ohlelweni lobulungiswa bobugebengu eNingizimu Afrika, kubangele ukukhala komphakathi kanye nomphakathi, lapho i-Tax Justice SA ifuna izimpendulo kwi-National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

Izinsolo kanye nobufakazi beKhomishini

Ubufakazi obethulwe phambi kweKhomishini kaMadlanga buhlanganisa isitatimende esifungelwe esenziwe ngumseshi wekhomishini uTshepo Nyatlo, ebhekisela ekuvumeni kukaMazzotti okusolwa ukuthi wakwenza esivumelwaneni se-SARS sika-2014. UMazzotti wathumela isitatimende sokuzithandela kukhomishini, ephikisana nezici zesitatimende sikaNyatlo futhi ephikisana nokuhlanganiswa kwezingxabano zentela zomlando, izinkinga zomthetho, kanye nezinsolo zobugebengu.

Esiphakamisweni sakhe, uMazzotti uthe, “UCarnilinx uvuma ngenhlonipho ukuthi izingxenye zesitatimende esifungelwe zibonakala zihlanganisa izindaba zomlando zomthetho, izingxabano zentela ezingaxazululwanga, imibiko yabezindaba kanye nokuphawula kwemboni nobufakazi bobugebengu banamuhla.”

Ukusabela Komphakathi Nokucindezela Kwezikhungo

UYusuf Abramjee, umsunguli we-Tax Justice SA, ubuze obala ukwehluleka kwe-NPA ukushushisa uMazzotti ngenxa yalokho akubiza ngokuthi “ubugebengu obukhulu obuhilela ukukhwabanisa intela, ukuhweba ngogwayi ngokungemthetho kanye nemizamo yokonakalisa izikhulu zomphakathi.” Ekhuluma ephendula ezinkundleni zokuxhumana zakamuva zekhomishini, u-Abramjee uthe, “I-NPA kumele iphendule umbuzo owodwa olula kodwa obaluleke kakhulu. Uma umuntu evuma ubugebengu obukhulu obuhilela ukukhwabanisa intela, ukuhweba ngogwayi ngokungemthetho kanye nemizamo yokonakalisa izikhulu zomphakathi, kungani kubonakala sengathi akukho ukushushiswa kobugebengu?”

Ubufakazi buye baqinisa izimfuno zokuba nesibopho esinengqondo kanye nokusobala ekuphoqelelweni kwemithetho yokulwa nenkohlakalo, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa igunya elibanzi lekhomishini lokuhlola ubuqotho bezikhungo zikahulumeni. Akukho mpendulo esemthethweni ekhishwe yi-NPA ngemuva kwalezi zicelo ezivuselelwe zokuthi kuthathwe isinyathelo.

IKhomishini kaMadlanga, eholwa yiJaji leNkantolo yoMthethosisekelo elithathe umhlalaphansi uMbuyiseli Madlanga, yasungulwa nguMongameli uCyril Ramaphosa ngoJulayi 2025. Inhloso yayo ihlanganisa ukuphenya izinsolo zobugebengu, ukugxambukela kwezepolitiki, kanye nenkohlakalo ohlelweni lwezobulungiswa, kanti izigcawu zamanje zigqamisa abantu abanethonya embonini kagwayi kanye nobudlelwano babo nombuso.

Kulindeleke ubufakazi obengeziwe kanye nezimpendulo zezikhungo njengoba ukulalelwa kwecala kuqhubeka kuze kube ngu-Agasti. I-NPA ayikaqinisekisi ukuthi izophinde ihlole leli cala noma ivule uphenyo olusemthethweni ngokuphendula ubufakazi bekhomishini.
