Eminyakeni engu-20 edlule le nkundla yezemidlalo iye yakhiwa, yawa, yacekelwa phansi, kwaphinde kwantshontshwa yonke into edayisekayo kuyo. Izigebengu zintshontshe ucingo olubiyele le nkundla, iminyango yezindlu zangasese nazo zonke izinto zokwakha.

Ngesikhathi elakuleli liwina isicelo sokusingatha iNdebe yoMhlaba ngo-2004, umasipala wamemezela ukuthi izosetshenziswa njengendawo yokuzijabulisa – okuyisethembiso esingakaze sifezeke.
Isakhamuzi sase-Mmakaunyane uLovemore Moyo uthe bajabula ngesikhathi kwakhiwa le nkundla ngaphambi kwemidlalo yeNdebe yoMhlaba yango-2010.
“Sasingazi ukuthi basebenzisa izigidi ukuze le nkundla iphenduke isibaya sezinkomo. Namuhla izilwane zilala khona,” esho.

“Bachithe izigidi entweni engenalo usizo ngokwehluleka ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi kunezokuphepha ukuze kugwenywe ukucekelwa phansi kwenkundla,” kusho uMbekwa.
“Indaba yenkundla sayikhuluma kaningi emihlanganweni yomkhandlu kodwa bathi asikho isabelomali.”
UMbekwa uphinde wadalula izindleko zokuqala zika-R2.7 million, kanye no-R600,000 wokulungisa inkundla kanye no-R900,000 wokulungisa okunye.
Uthe le nkundla ibizosiza intsha yendawo ukuveza ithalente layo kulesi sigodi kodwa umasipala wehlulekile.
