Umhlangano kaMengameli wangaphambilini uJacob Zuma wangoJuni 2026 no-Ajay Gupta eHaridwar, eNdiya, uthole ukugxekwa okukhulu nguhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika, lapho uNgqongqoshe eHhovisi likaMongameli uKhumbudzo Ntshavheni ekubiza ngokuthi \u201ckuyaphazamisa kakhulu\u201d kanti uMnyango Wezobudlelwano Namazwe Ngamazwe Nokubambisana (i-DIRCO) wethule uphenyo olusemthethweni ngezimo nemiphumela yokuvakasha.<\/p>\n

Uphenyo lwe-DIRCO kanye nokugxekwa okusemthethweni<\/h4>\n

I-DIRCO ngomhlaka-3 kuJulayi 2026 iqinisekisile ukuthi isiqalile ukuphenya ngokuvakasha ukuze ithole ukuthi ngabe ukugqugquzelwa kwayo noma yiziphi izinsiza ezisemthethweni zephula uMthetho Wezinsizakalo Zangaphandle. Ukuhlolwa okukhethekile kuwele kuKhomishana Omkhulu waseNingizimu Afrika eNdiya, u-Anil Sooklal, ngemuva kwezinsolo zokuthi uhlanganyele emhlanganweni. UNtshavheni, ekhuluma ePitoli, ugxeke ukubandakanyeka kukaZuma kanye nokubandakanyeka kukaSooklal, ethi, \u201cKuyaphazamisa kakhulu ukuthi owayengumongameli wezwe ubonisa obala nangokungaxolisi umunwe ophakathi kubantu baseNingizimu Afrika abalahlekelwe yimali eningi ngenxa yamaqhinga abazalwane bakwaGupta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uphinde wagxeka ukuziphatha kukaSooklal, ethi, \u201cKuyihlazo ukuthi isisebenzi sethu, sihlangana nezigebengu esikhundleni sokwenza umsebenzi waso ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ababaleki babuyiselwa eNingizimu Afrika ukuze bakwazi ukubhekana nesenzo sabo sobugebengu.\u201d I-Democratic Alliance iphinde yacela ukuthi kwenziwe uphenyo oluphuthumayo lomnyango mayelana nokuthi ngabe uSooklal wayelandela yini imiyalelo esemthethweni ngesikhathi somhlangano.<\/p>\n

Ukubaluleka Kwezepolitiki Nomongo Womlando<\/h4>\n

Lo mhlangano ufike ngesikhathi esibucayi kwezepolitiki zaseNingizimu Afrika, njengoba uZuma ememezele kuvidiyo yangemva komhlangano ukuthi \u201cuphikisana\u201d \u201cnokubuyisela izwe phambili,\u201d evuselela impikiswano mayelana nefa lokubanjwa kombuso. Umndeni wakwaGupta, ohileleke enkohlakalweni esakazekile ngesikhathi sokubusa kukaZuma, washiya iNingizimu Afrika njengoba uphenyo lobugebengu lwanda, futhi ithonya labo eliqhubekayo lihlala liwuphawu lwezinselelo ezihlelekile ekubambeni abantu abanesibopho ngokuphanga umbuso.<\/p>\n

Lokhu kuhlangana okuvuselelwe phakathi kukaZuma no-Ajay Gupta kuphakamise ukukhathazeka ngaphakathi kukahulumeni kanye namaqembu aphikisayo mayelana nomyalezo owuthumelayo ngenkohlakalo, ukuziphendulela, kanye nobuqotho benqubomgomo yezangaphandle. Okutholakele kophenyo lwe-DIRCO kulindeleke ukuthi kulolonge impendulo yezombusazwe kanye neyezepolitiki emasontweni azayo.<\/p>\n

Kulindeleke ezinye izitatimende ezisemthethweni kanye nokuqapha okungenzeka kwephalamende njengoba uphenyo lwe-DIRCO mayelana nomhlangano kanye nendima yeKhomishana Ephakeme luqhubeka.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
