UNgqongqoshe Wezamaphoyisa Osabambile uFiroz Cachalia wabika ngomhlaka-3 Agasti 2026 ukuthi ukubuyekezwa kwendlela yokuphila eminyakeni emihlanu edlule kubonise ukungafani okukhulu phakathi kwezikhulu eziphezulu ze-South African Police Service (SAPS), okuhlanganisa izimoto ezingadalulwanga, izindawo, kanye nezikhundla zokuqondisa izinkampani. Lokhu kuza njengoba i-SAPS ibhekene nokuhlolwa okusha ngemuva kwezigameko zakamuva kanye nokukhathazeka okuqhubekayo mayelana nokuzibophezela emazingeni aphezulu.

Ukungafani Okubalulekile Nophenyo Lwakamuva

UCachalia uthe lokhu kungafani kuvela ezinqubweni zokudalulwa kwempahla kanye nokudalulwa kwezezimali ezihlose ingcebo engachazeki phakathi kwezikhulu eziphezulu. “Izinqubo zokudalulwa kwempahla kanye nokudalulwa kwezimali zibone amacala adinga ukuhlolisiswa okwengeziwe maqondana nezinkomba zengcebo ezingachazeki,” kusho uCachalia. Naphezu kwalokhu kubuyekezwa, uDkt. Albertus Schoeman utshele iKhomishini kaMadlanga ngomhlaka-9 Julayi 2026 ukuthi akukho ukuhlolwa okusemthethweni kwendlela yokuphila okwenziwe ezikhulwini eziphezulu ze-SAPS eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, isikhathi esiphawulwe ukukhathazeka okwandayo kwenkohlakalo.

NgoMashi 2025, abantu abayisikhombisa kanye nezinkampani ezintathu bamangalelwa ngamacala angu-330, okuhlanganisa ukukhwabanisa nokuhlanzwa kwemali, okuhlobene nokukhwabanisa kwethenda le-SAPS okungama-R88 million, ngokusho kwe-National Prosecuting Authority. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Crime Intelligence yathinteka ngoJuni 2025 ohlelweni lokuthengwa kwempahla eThekwini oluhilela inkampani exhumene namalungu e-SAPS. I-National Prosecuting Authority iphinde yaqinisekisa ukuthathwa kwempahla ebiza ama-R75 million maqondana necala "lezibani eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka", isigameko esidumile esihilela ukubambisana okusolwayo phakathi kwezikhulu ze-SAPS kanye nomhlinzeki wesevisi.

Izinselele Ezibanzi Ngokubheka Nokucaca

Ukuvela okuphindaphindiwe kwamacala ahilela izimpahla ezingadalulwanga kanye nokungalungi kwamathenda kugcizelela ubuthakathaka ekuqondisweni kwangaphakathi kwe-SAPS. Ukwehluleka ukuqala ukuhlolwa okuphelele kwendlela yokuphila, njengoba kuqokonyiswe nguSchoeman, kuphakamise imibuzo mayelana nokusebenza kahle kwemikhuba yokudalula ezezimali ekhona. USchoeman uthe, “Uhlaka lokudalula ezezimali noma ukubuyekezwa kwendlela yokuphila kanye nophenyo akuvumbululanga ukuziphatha kabi ku-SAPS,” evikela izinqubo zamanje phambi kweKhomishini kaMadlanga.

Kodwa-ke, amacala asenkantolo aqhubekayo kanye nobukhulu bezimpahla ezithathiwe kukhomba izikhala eziqhubekayo zokuzibophezela. Lezi zinguquko zilandela iphethini ebanzi yokungaziphathi kahle kanye nokuntuleka kokucaca emazingeni aphezulu e-SAPS. Ukuphinda kwenkohlakalo ephezulu kanye nezinsolo zempahla kuqhubekisele phambili izicelo ezivela emphakathini womphakathi zokuqiniswa kokuqapha okuzimele kanye nokuhlolwa kwempilo okuphoqelekile ukuze kubuyiselwe ubuqotho ngaphakathi kwamaphoyisa.

IKhomishini kaMadlanga kulindeleke ukuthi ikhiphe imiphumela ngezindlela zokuqapha ze-SAPS ezinyangeni ezizayo, kuyilapho ezinye izinyathelo zobugebengu mayelana nokukhwabanisa kwamathenda okuhlobene ne-SAPS kanye nokubanjwa kwempahla ziqhubeka enkantolo.
