Kusukela ngo-2019 kuya ku-2024, isikhathi sikaRonald Lamola njengoNgqongqoshe Wezobulungiswa Nezinsizakalo Zokuhlunyeleliswa Kwezimilo saholela ekugxileni kabusha ekushushisweni kwamacala anconywe yiKhomishini Yeqiniso Nokubuyisana (i-TRC), lapho inani lophenyo olusebenzayo oluhlobene ne-TRC liphindwe kabili ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kanye namacala amaningana esikhathi sobandlululo afika enkantolo okokuqala ngqa emashumini eminyaka, ngokusho kwezitatimende ezisemthethweni kanye namarekhodi omphakathi.

Izinsizakusebenza Ezandisiwe Zaholela Ekushushisweni Okukhulu

Ngesikhathi sakhe ehhovisi, uLamola waxhumana noMnyango Wezezimali Kazwelonke ukuze athuthukise isabelomali se-National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) futhi waqoka abashushisi abangu-23 abazinikele kanye nabaphenyi abangu-34 abavela koKlebe ukuthi basebenze ngamacala obandlululo angaxazululwanga. Amarekhodi oMnyango Wezobulungiswa abonisa ukuthi inani lamacala e-TRC angaphansi kokunakwa okukhulu lenyuke lisuka ku-53 ngo-Ephreli 2021 laya ku-115 ngoMashi 2022, okubonisa amandla akhuphukile kanye nokubaluleka okunikezwe ezindabeni zobulungiswa zomlando.

ULamola ukhulume ngalolu daba emicimbini eminingi yomphakathi. Esithangamini sabezindaba sango-2020, uthe, “La macala athumela umyalezo oqinile wokuthi uhulumeni ngeke abekezelele noma yiziphi izenzo zenkohlakalo, ikakhulukazi phakathi kwezikhulu zakhe, nokuthi bonke abenzi bobubi bazoboshwa futhi bashushiswe.”

Izigwebo Nezithiyo Eziqhubekayo Zezomthetho

Lokhu kugxila okusha kwezokushushisa kuholele emiphumeleni ebonakalayo: ngo-2025, izikhulu eziningana zangaphambilini ze-Security Branch and Reaction Unit zalahlwa yicala lokubulala isishoshovu esilwa nobandlululo ngo-1987 uCaiphus Nyoka, ngokusho kwezinqubo zenkantolo ezicashunwe yi-Daily Maverick. NgoJulayi 2023, uLamola wahola umngcwabo ongokomfanekiso wezishoshovu ezine zaseMamelodi ezabulawa ngamaphoyisa obandlululo, evuma umzamo kazwelonke oqhubekayo wokuqinisekisa ukuvalwa kwemindeni yezisulu.

Naphezu kwalezi zinzuzo, akuwona wonke amacala e-TRC adlulele phambili. NgoJulayi 2026, iNkantolo Ephakeme yaseMgungundlovu yachitha isicelo sokuqhubeka nophenyo ngokubulawa kommeli wamalungelo abantu ngo-1981 uGriffiths Mxenge, ngesizathu sokuthi abenzi bobubi abakhonjwe bagwetshwa futhi kamuva banikezwa ushwele ngaphansi kohlaka lwe-TRC. Ochwepheshe bezomthetho baqokomisa ukuthi amacala anjalo agcizelela ukungezwani phakathi kwezindlela zobulungiswa bokubuyisela kanye nezidingo zokuqhubeka nokuziphendulela.

Njengoba ukubuyekezwa okwengeziwe kwezomthetho kanye nezenzo ezingokomfanekiso kuqhubeka, kusalokhu kugxilwe ekutheni ubuholi obusha baseNingizimu Afrika buzoqhubeka kanjani nomfutho ezindabeni ze-TRC ezingakaxazululwa futhi bulinganise isidingo sobulungiswa nohlaka lwezomthetho lwezwe.
