Imizamo kaLamola yayihlanganisa ukuthola imali eyengeziwe ye-NPA nokuqoka abashushisi abakhethekile nabaphenyi ukuze babeke phambili amacala asele e-TRC, njengoba kubhalwe emibikweni yoMnyango Wezobulungiswa. Le ndlela egxile yenza kwaba lula ukushushiswa okwase kume amashumi eminyaka ngaphambili. Ngo-2025, iNkantolo Ephakeme yaseGoli yagweba izikhulu zangaphambili zeGatsha Lezokuphepha kanye ne-Reaction Unit ngokubandakanyeka kwazo ekubulaweni kwesishoshovu esilwa nobandlululo uCaiphus Nyoka, owabulawa mhla zingama-24 kuNcwaba 1987, kusho iNational Prosecuting Authority.

Ukwanda kokushushiswa kwamacala e-TRC ngesikhathi sikaLamola kubhekwa ochwepheshe bezomthetho njengentuthuko ebalulekile ekubhekaneni nokungabi nabulungisa komlando. Indlela kaLamola yahlinzeka ngezinsizakusebenza zezikhungo kanye nentando yezepolitiki evuselelwe, lapho imindeni yezisulu kanye nezinhlangano zokuvikela zamukela intuthuko ngemuva kwamashumi eminyaka okulibaziseka.

Ekhuluma emcimbini osemthethweni womnyango, uLamola utshele abasebenzi, “Ukuzibophezela kwenu nokuzinikela kwenu kuyaqhubeka nokusikhuthaza, qinisekani ukuthi izinsizakalo enizinikeza abantu baseNingizimu Afrika, zibaluleke kakhulu.” Isikhathi sakhe kulindeleke ukuthi sibe nomthelela enqubweni yobulungiswa yesikhathi esizayo kanye nezimpendulo zobugebengu bobandlululo obungaxazululwanga, udaba olubalulekile emizamweni yokubuyisana eNingizimu Afrika.
