Kudutshulwe kwabulawa umsebenzi kamasipala weTheku endaweni yokugcwalisa ithangi lamanzi edolobheni lase-Verulam, ngaphandle kwaseThekwini.
IMeya yeTheku, uMnu Mxolisi Kaunda ukuqinisekisile ukuthi owesifazane obeqashwe wumasipala ubesemsebenzini ngesikhathi kwenzeka lesi sigameko sokudubula ngoMgqibelo.
Okhulumela amaphoyisa uKaputeni Nqobile Gwala uthe owesifazane (36), udutshulwe ngabasolwa abangaziwa ku-Ottawa Main Road ngezithuba zabo-16:00.
“Ube namanxeba amaningi okudutshulwa emzimbeni kanti kuthiwa ushonele endaweni yesigameko. Abasolwa babaleke ngemoto endaweni yesigameko. Akukho lutho oluthathiwe kwisisulu,” kusho uGwala.
Imbangela yalokhu kubulala ayikaziwa.
IMeya yeTheku inxuse zonke iziphathimandla ukuthi “zibheke yonke indawo” uma kuthungathwa abasolwa.
“Sibhekene nengwadla yezikhukhula kanti lesi sigameko sokubulala into esingayidingi. Siyethemba ukuthi amaphoyisa azosheshe ababophe abathintekayo. Lo msebenzi ubethweswe umsebenzi onzima wokulawula amathangi ethu amanzi.
“Sinxusa noma ngabe ngubani ongaba nolwazi ngalesi sigameko esingesihle ukuthi asebenzisane namaphoyisa. Sidlulisa amazwi enduduzo emndenini wakhe nakozakwabo,” kwengeza uKaunda.
Lesi sigameko senzeke ngemuva kokuthi izikhulu zeTheku zisolwe ngokuba nesandla emlilweni oqhumise isiteshi esincane ekuqaleni kwesonto.
Iqembu lezepolitiki i-IFP lisole abasebenzi bakamasipala ngokudala ukuqhuma, kodwa-ke umasipala ukuphikile lokho, uthi abasebenzi babo bebezama ukulungisa lesi siteshi ngenxa yezikhukhula zakamuva.
