Indawo Yokuphathwa Kabi Kwezezimali Nokucekelwa Phansi Komhlaba

IDolobha lase-Ekurhuleni liqinisekisile ukuthi isibonelelo esingalungile sasetshenziswa ukuxhasa iphrojekthi yezindlu zomphakathi yaseClayville Extension 45 eseduzane, samisa inqubekela phambili yaso ngemuva kokuthi sekusetshenziswe imali engaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-R122, kungekho mindeni ekwazile ukuthuthela khona kuze kube manje. Endaweni yaseThembisa, amafasitela, iminyango, kanye nezintambo zikagesi zebiwe, kanti izakhiwo zisesezindaweni ezingasasebenzi — isimo esivunyiwe yi-MMC yezokuHlaliswa Kwabantu yase-Ekurhuleni, uKgopelo Holo, owathi, “Abantu abaningi bathumbe iphrojekthi, ukuze bebe amafasitela, uphahla, kanye nezintambo zikagesi.”

Ngokusho koMnyango Wezokuhlaliswa Kwabantu waseGauteng, imali engu-R63.5 million yadluliselwa ngonyaka wezimali ka-2020/21 ukusekela la maphrojekthi, kodwa ukuqaliswa kwawo kwaqhubeka kungumthwalo wemfanelo wedolobha. UNgqongqoshe Wezokuhlaliswa Kwabantu uThembi Simelane uthembise ukuqedela iphrojekthi emisiwe naphezu kwezinselelo zezimali eziqhubekayo. Ukuwa kwalo msebenzi kubonakalisa ukuthambekela okubanzi, njengoba iFree State yodwa isingatha amaphrojekthi ezindlu angu-154 angavaliwe adinga ukungenelela ngokuphuthumayo ngenxa yezinkontileka ezilahliwe kanye nomsebenzi ongemuhle, njengoba kubikwe yi-ejensi yezindaba kahulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika.

Umthelela Womphakathi Nokuziphendulela Kwezepolitiki

Ababengabasebenzi bendawo babike kwabezindaba bendawo ukuthi basakhokhelwa ngomsebenzi oqediwe ngaphambi kokuba iphrojekthi ime. UTsietsi Kukame, owayeyisisebenzi, uthe, “Sisebenze kule ndawo futhi sakha ezinye zezakhiwo. Kuze kube namuhla, asikakhokhelwa.” Lolu daba ludonsele ukunaka kwamaqembu aphikisayo emkhandlwini wase-Ekurhuleni, kanti ikhansela le-Freedom Front Plus uRudolf Herbst uthe, “Sizodlulisela lolu daba kuhulumeni wesifundazwe saseGauteng ukuqinisekisa ukuthi labo abanecala bayalandisa.”

Izakhamuzi kanye nabasebenzi bangaphambili manje balinde isinyathelo esiqinile sokuxazulula iminyaka yokubambezeleka kanye nezibopho ezingagcwaliseki.

Isikhathi sokuqedwa kwephrojekthi manje sincike ekungeneleleni okusha okuvela ezikhulwini zikazwelonke nezesifundazwe, kanye nezinyathelo zokuqapha ezivamile kanye nokuzibophezela ezilindeleke ngo-2026.
