UMeya waseKapa uGeordin Hill-Lewis uzibophezele ekusunguleni iGatsha Labaphenyi Bamaphoyisa aseMetro eDelft uma ephinde wakhethwa ngoNovemba 2026, okuzovuselela impikiswano ngamandla okusebenza kwamaphoyisa kamasipala njengoba iDolobha lisongela ukuthatha isinyathelo somthetho ngokumelene nohulumeni kazwelonke ngokwenqaba ukugunyaza igunya lokuphenya lamaphoyisa endawo, ngokusho kwezitatimende nemibiko esemthethweni eyanyatheliswa ngomhlaka-15 no-16 Julayi 2026.<\/p>\n

Impikiswano Yomthetho Ngamandla Okuphenya<\/h4>\n

Igatsha labaphenyi elihlongozwayo lizoqasha, liqeqeshe, futhi lithumele abaphenyi bamaPhoyisa kaMasipala abagxile odlameni lwamaqembu ezigelekeqe, izibhamu, kanye nobugebengu obuhlobene nezidakamizwa. UMeya uHill-Lewis uthe, \u201cSizoqasha, siqeqeshe futhi sithumele abaphenyi bamaPhoyisa kaMasipala abazinikele ukuze basebenze odlameni lwamaqembu ezigelekeqe, izibhamu kanye namacala ahlobene nezidakamizwa.\u201d UMasipala waseKapa uqinisekise ukuthi ukulungele ukulandela izinyathelo zomthetho ngenxa yokwenqaba kukahulumeni kazwelonke ukunikeza igunya elinjalo, njengoba kuqinisekiswe ukuxhumana okusemthethweni kweDolobha.<\/p>\n

Njengamanje, uMthetho Wenkonzo Yamaphoyisa AseNingizimu Afrika (SAPS) 68 ka-1995 ukhawulela izinsizakalo zamaphoyisa kamasipala ekuphoqelelweni komthetho, ukuqapha izimoto, kanye nokuvimbela ubugebengu obujwayelekile, okukhipha ngokusobala uphenyo lobugebengu. Lo mkhawulo wezomthetho usalokhu ubalulekile kule mpikiswano, naphezu kwemizamo kahulumeni wasekhaya yokwandisa izindima nokutshala imali eyizigidigidi ezingama-R39.7 ekuphepheni kanye nengqalasizinda kusukela ngoMashi 2025, isinyathelo uMeya asichaze njengomzamo wokushintsha izibalo zobugebengu zaseKapa "ngendlela efanele" ngesikhathi sokuxhumana kwabezindaba kwangaphambilini.<\/p>\n

Izimpendulo Zomphakathi Nemiphumela Yezepolitiki<\/h4>\n

Izishoshovu zomphakathi kanye nezinhlangano zobugebengu bendawo ziye zabuza ukuthi iyunithi entsha yabaseshi isebenza kahle kangakanani, ziqokomisa izinkinga eziqhubekayo ngokusetshenziswa kwezinsizakusebenza. UHanif Loonat, isishoshovu sobugebengu esidumile, uphikise ngokuthi \u201cubugebengu abuqapheli imingcele yezepolitiki, futhi ukusebenza kahle kwamaphoyisa kuncike ekubambisaneni, ukwabelana ngobuhlakani kanye nokusebenza okuhlanganisiwe phakathi kwazo zonke izinhlaka zikahulumeni.\u201d Ukuphumelela kokwandisa imisebenzi yamaphoyisa kaMasipala kusaphikiswana kakhulu.<\/p>\n

Abamele uhulumeni kazwelonke abakakhiphi isitatimende esisha kodwa ngaphambilini baxoxisane noMeya uHill-Lewis mayelana nokwandiswa kwamandla okusebenza kwamaphoyisa emhlanganweni owawungomhlaka-11 Septhemba 2025. Ukwethulwa kweyunithi yokuphenya kamasipala kuzodinga izichibiyelo emthethweni kazwelonke noma isivumelwano esisemthethweni ne-SAPS.<\/p>\n

Ukulungela kweDolobha ukulandela imigudu yezomthetho kuphawula ukwanda kwezingxabano zendawo nezwe mayelana nomsebenzi wamaphoyisa. Intuthuko eyengeziwe izoncika emiphumeleni yenkantolo kanye nezingxoxo zomthetho ezilindeleke ngonyaka ozayo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
