Izakhamuzi zaseGoli zicelwa ukuthi zixhase u-R6.4 billion ekulungisweni kwengqalasizinda kanye nokuvuselelwa kwedolobha ngonyaka wezimali ka-2025/26, naphezu kokukhungatheka okuqhubekayo ngokuthi imigodi eqhubekayo yedolobha, izibani zomgwaqo ezingasebenzi, kanye nokuphazamiseka kwenkonzo kuvela ekuhlulekeni kwesikhathi eside kwezepolitiki kanye nokuphatha. Izibalo ezisemthethweni ezivela eDolobheni laseGoli zibonisa ukuthi ukulungisa isibani esisodwa sezimoto esicekelwe phansi manje kungabiza u-R300,000, kanti imeya ilinganisela ukuthi ukulungisa yonke imigodi kuzodinga cishe u-R700 million.

Izigidi Ezichithwe Ekulungiseni Phakathi Kokuphepha, Ingqalasizinda Egugile

USipho Nhlapo, inhloko yezokuthutha kanye nempahla eJohannesburg Roads Agency, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwezokuphepha okuhloswe ukuvimbela ukwebiwa kwezintambo zethusi kukhulise kakhulu izindleko zokulungiswa kwengqalasizinda. “Siphinde saqala ukufaka ezinye zezintambo ngaphansi komhlaba ukuze ikhebula libe kude, ngakho kuzodingeka zijule kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sengeza usimende nokhonkolo. Ngakho-ke manje isibani somgwaqo esisibiza u-R100,000 ukulungisa, sizosibiza u-R200,000 noma u-R300,000,” kusho uNhlapo, njengoba kubikwe yi-Eyewitness News.

I-MMC yezezimali uMargaret Arnolds ukhombisile ukuthi idolobha limise isabelomali sokulungisa ingqalasizinda yamanzi nogesi esandisiwe, ecaphuna isidingo sezinyathelo zokuvimbela kunokulungisa okuphuthumayo okuphindaphindiwe. Imibiko yemigodi phakathi kukaJulayi noDisemba 2025 ifinyelele ku-23,572, kanti i-ejensi ithi ilungise engu-20,302 yayo. Naphezu kwale mizamo, uMeya uDada Morero wembula ngoJuni 2026 ukuthi idolobha lilahlekelwe ngaphezu kuka-R10 billion ngenxa yokuvuza kwamanzi kanye nokwebiwa kukagesi.

Ukuziphendulela Kwezepolitiki Nokukhungatheka Komphakathi

Izakhamuzi eziningi ziveze ukukhathazeka mayelana nokukhokhiswa imali ebizayo, zithi izimbangela eziyinhloko zikhomba ukuphathwa kabi kwezepolitiki kanye neminyaka yokunganakwa. Ekhuluma nekomidi elihlala njalo lezimali zomphakathi ledolobha, uMeya uMorero uvumile kokubili okutholwe ngumcwaningi-jikelele kanye nemithwalo enzima ebekwe engqalasizinda yokuguga yaseGoli, ethi, “Siyaqonda izimbangela eziyinhloko ezivezwe ngumcwaningi-jikelele, futhi kumelwe sikhumbule abantu esibasebenzelayo, sicabangela ingqalasizinda yokuguga kanye nemikhawulo yesabelomali.”

Indlela yokulungisa okuphindaphindiwe—kunokuba kube yizixazululo zesikhathi eside—kanye nezindleko ezikhuphukayo, ikhulise ukungabaza mayelana nokusebenza kahle kokungenelela kwedolobha kwamanje, ibeka ingcindezi enkulu kubaholi ukuthi babonise imiphumela kanye nokusobala mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwezimali.

Idolobha laseGoli kulindeleke ukuthi libhekane nokuhlolisiswa okwengeziwe komphakathi njengoba isabelomali sika-2025/26 siqhubeka nokuqhubeka nokusebenza kanye nezakhamuzi ziqhubeka nokuphakamisa imibuzo mayelana nokubaluleka kwemali, ukuzibophezela, kanye nesivinini sokuvuselelwa kwengqalasizinda kulo lonke idolobha.
