OyiNhloko yamaJaji uRaymond Zondo usenikeze uMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa ingxenye yokuqala yombiko wekhomishana yokulawulwa kombuso ngemuva kweminyaka emine enzima.
Umbiko wokuqala kwemithathu uthinta ukulawulwa kwe-South African Airways (SAA), i-SA Revenue Services (i-Sars), kanye nesidlo sasekuseni esahlelwa yiphephandaba elaliphethwe ngabakwaGupta i-New Age.
“Lolu usuku olubaluleke kakhulu njengoba ikhomishini ikwazile ukwethula ingxenye yayo yombiko kuMengameli. Kube iminyaka emine enzima kwikhomishini,” kusho uZondo.
“Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa sizoqeda iminyaka emine selokhu kwamenyezelwa ukuba khona kwekhomishini. Iminyaka emithathu yaleso sikhathi kwaba ukulalelwa kwekhomishini. Besifisa ukukhipha umbiko ophelele kodwa lokho akwenzekanga ngakho-ke sizoletha ingxenye yokuqala.”
UZondo uzokhipha ingxenye yesibili ekupheleni kukaMasingana, kanti eyesithathu izokhishwa ekupheleni kukaNhlolanja.
Ngokwesinqumo senkantolo sokugcina esiluliwe esinikezwe ikhomishini, ngoNhlangulana uRamaphosa kumele ayiveze obala le mibiko.
Ubonge uZondo nekhomishini ngomsebenzi “oyisimanga” abawenzile wokudalula inkohlakalo ebiyenzeka ngaphansi kobuholi bukaMnu Jacob Zuma.
Lowo owayenguMvikeli woMphakathi uThuli Madonsela uthe lolu “usuku oluhle” ngoba ikhomishini ayisungula isiwuphothulile umsebenzi wayo “ngemuva kweminyaka emihlanu.”
“Ingabe umbuso walawulwa ukuze weseke amabhizinisi ayephethwe yindodana kaMengameli kanye nomndeni wakwaGupta? Ngeminye yemininingwane esingayilindela kumbiko wekhomishini,” etshela i-Newzroom Afrika.
“Abantu angeke ubathembe bajikelana njengotshwala esiswini njengoba ngake ngasho eminyakeni emihlanu edlule ukuthi asinikeze ikhomishini ithuba [lokuzwa] ukuthi izothini,” engeza.
Phambilini isicelo senhlangano engaziwa i-Democracy in Action – ebizama ukuvimba ukukhishwa kombiko – sichithwe yizinkantolo zithi asinaso isigqi.
