Ufakazi ongaziwa ufake isicelo sokunikeza ubufakazi obusekhamera phambi kweKhomishini kaMadlanga mayelana nokwebiwa kwamakhilogremu angu-541 e-cocaine emahhovisi oKlebe ePort Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal. Ngokusho kwemibhalo yenkantolo efakwe ngomhlaka-5 Meyi 2026, ufakazi, omelelwe ngummeli uThabiso Lesufi, ukhulume ngokukhathazeka okukhulu ngokuphepha kwabo kanye nomndeni wabo ngokufuna lesi sinyathelo esiyingqayizivele.

Isisekelo Sezomthetho Sokulalelwa Kwecala Ekhamera

Isitatimende esifungelwe sikaThabiso Lesufi sithe isicelo seklayenti lakhe seseshini evaliwe sishukunyiswa izinsongo eziqhubekayo, siphawula: “Ufakazi uveze ukuthi uyesaba ukunikeza ubufakazi obala njengoba esaba impilo yakhe kanye neyomndeni wakhe.” IKhomishini yaseMadlanga, eyasungulwa ukuphenya ubugebengu kanye nenkohlakalo okusolwayo ngaphakathi kohlelo lobulungiswa lwaseNingizimu Afrika, ngezinye izikhathi ivumele imihlangano ekhamera emacaleni lapho ukuvikelwa kofakazi kanye nobuqotho bokuphenya kudlula ilungelo lomphakathi lokulalelwa kwecala okuvulekile.

Indlela yeKhomishini iyahluka ngesicelo ngasinye. NgoMashi 2026, lapho usomabhizinisi uSuliman Carrim efaka isicelo sokuvikelwa okufanayo, uKhomishana uSesi Baloyi SC wenqaba isicelo, ethi abukho ubufakazi obanele bokuthethelela ukuvalwa kwaso: “Angiboni isisekelo esisemthethweni saso esivezwe ezithunyweni zakho.”

Izinqubo Zokuziphatha Zangaphambilini NezeKhomishini

Ngaphambi kwalesi sicelo sakamuva, iKhomishini yanquma ngo-Okthoba 2025 ukuthi ofakazi abathile bangafakaza bekude futhi ngaphandle kwekhamera, izimpendulo zidluliselwe obala ngumlamuleli. USihlalo uJaji uMbuyiseli Madlanga wachaza ngaleso sikhathi, “Ufakazi uzofakaza ekude futhi ngaphandle kwekhamera. Izimpendulo zofakazi emibuzweni ebuzwa ngabaholi bobufakazi zizophindwa obala ngumlamuleli ozwi lakhe lizosakazwa bukhoma njengoba ephinda amazwi kafakazi.”

Le nqubo yavunyelwana nezinhlangano zabezindaba ukuze kulinganiswe ukucaca kanye nokuvikelwa kofakazi okubucayi ngesikhathi sophenyo oludumile noluqhubekayo lophenyo mayelana nenkohlakalo kahulumeni kanye nokuziphatha kabi komthetho. Isicelo ngasinye sihlolwa ngokwaso, kucatshangelwa izingozi ezingaba khona kofakazi kanye nezintshisekelo zobulungiswa obuvulekile.

IKhomishini kaMadlanga kulindeleke ukuthi ikhiphe isinqumo mayelana nesicelo sakamuva ngaphambi komjikelezo olandelayo wobufakazi bomlomo.
