Imithombo yamaphoyisa ikuqinisekisile ngoLwesihlanu ukuthi uGosiame Sithole, owesifazane okwabhalwa ngaye izindaba ezingamampunge zokuthi ubelethe izingane eziyishumi yi-Pretoria News, uhlolwa ngokwengqondo.
Kodwa bayichithile imibiko yakamuva ye-Pretoria News yokuthi uSithole uboshiwe futhi waphathwa kabi.
Indaba ye-Pretoria News mayelana nokuqambela umhlaba amanga nge-Tembisa 10 ibisematheni izinsuku, ngezingane ezingabonakali nhlobo.
Abezindaba ze-Eyewitness News ngoLwesihlanu bathe imithombo esondelene nophenyo ithe ukuhlolwa kukaSithole “kukhombise ukuthi akakaze akhulelwe. Kuphinde kukhombise ukuthi azikho izibazi zomzimba ezikhomba ukuthi usanda kubeletha ngomthungo”.
Kuchithwa umbiko wakamuva wephephandaba i-Pretoria News, omunye umthombo wamaphoyisa uthe yilokhu okwenzekile:
● USithole ubecashile esihlobeni sakhe e-Rabie Ridge ngase-Tembisa ngemuva kokuqubuka kwalolu daba- okokuqala ngezinsolo zokuzalwa, bese kuba nobufakazi obukhulayo bokuthi akwenzekanga lokho.
● NgoLwesine mhla ziyi-17 kuNhlangulana amaphoyisa eza ezomlanda emzini wesihlobo sakhe ezomhambisa emahhovisi esifunda zawo e-Clorkop, e-Kurhuleni lapho abuzwa khona ngemibiko yokuthi ulahlekile.
● Akazange aboshwe noma avalelwe. “Njengamaphoyisa, asikwazi ukuvele sibophe umuntu. Asinawo amacala mayelana naye njengoba engazange aqambe amanga ngaphansi kwesifungo ngokubeletha izingane eziyishumi,” kusho umthombo.
● Amaphoyisa abe esemnikela eMnyangweni wezokuThuthukiswa koMphakathi eGoli ukuze ayohlolwa ingqondo. USithole ulale ubusuku bonke esibhedlela i-Tembisa.
Phezu kobufakazi obuningi obumelene nabo, i-Pretoria News, umnikazi wayo i-Independent Media, kanye nomhleli wayo uPiet Rampedi banamathele odabeni lwabo futhi abayihoxisanga le ndaba. Abakakamtsheli nosolwa ngokuba ngubaba wezingane uTeboho Tsotetsi ukuthi ahoxise ukucela iminikelo emphakathini.
Bathe kube khona “umkhonyovu omkhulu” futhi benqaba izimangalo zokuthi babhale izindaba ezingamampunge.
I-South African National Editors ’Forum (i-SANEF) isiqalise ukuhlaselwa okungakaze kube khona ngale ndaba.
URedi Tlabi ubhale ku-Twitter wathi: “IMeya ethi izingane zikhona izomane idlulele emsebenzini wayo olandelayo wezepolitiki. “Ukushicilelwa kuzodlulela kokulandelayo” okukhethekile. “Kodwa lona wesifazane, onekhono noma ongenalo, lokhu kuzokulenga njenge albatross entanyeni yakhe unomphela. Noma ngabe yini inhloso yakhe, akazange ayibhale le ndaba.”
