Umbutho wamaPhoyisa akuleli i-South African Police Services (i-SAPS) isebenzise imali engaphezu kuka-R100 million uthenga ama-drones nama-grabbers, kanti ngemuva kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye, lezi zinsizakusebenza ezibalulekile zibutha uthuli endaweni yokugcina impahla engasebenzi.
Ngokombiko wephephandaba i-Sunday Independent, amaphoyisa athenge ama-grabbers angu-13, ama-drones agadayo angu-15 kanye nezimoto ezingu-12.
Umbiko woMhlolijikelele Wezobunhloli uthe ukuthengwa kwalezi zinsiza izindleko ezingenasidingo.
Umbiko wengeze ngokuthi uColonel wezobunhloli ongadalulwanga igama wahambela isicelo sabo sokuthola lezi zinsimbi phambili ukuze kusizakale abahlinzeki baseBrithani.
Ama-grabbers abedinga isitifiketi sokukhululwa kuNgqongqoshe wezoBulungiswa uRonald Lamola, kodwa lezo zitifiketi azizange zigunyazwe njengoba uNgqongqoshe wamaPhoyisa uBheki Cele acela ukuthi zikhululwe ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye ngemuva kokuthengwa.
Yize engazitholi lezi zitifiketi zokukhululwa, amaphoyisa asebenzise lama-grabbers ukuqapha izintatheli nosopolitiki ngokungemthetho.
Ama-drones ayi-15 angeke asetshenziswe ngoba amaphoyisa amabili kuphela anelayisensi edingekayo yokusebenzisa leyo-drone ethile.
I-News24 ishicilele umbiko ngoNhlangulana odlule mayelana nezindleko zamaphoyisa athi imishini isikulungele ukusatshalaliswa.
“Amaqembu esifundazwe aqeqeshelwe i-theory mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwawo. Isitifiketi sokukhululwa asikakakhishwa kanti sivimbela ukukhishwa kobuchwepheshe obusha,” kusho i-News24.
Kodwa-ke, ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye kamuva imishini isahleli endaweni yokugcina izinto, ayikwazi ukusetshenziswa futhi cishe ngeke isasetshenziswa.
Ubuchwepheshe obusha bathengwa njengoba amayunithi amathathu anemishini ephelelwe yisikhathi futhi edinga ubuchwepheshe obusha, kodwa imishini yawo ephelelwe yisikhathi isasetshenziswa ngemuva kokuthi kumoshwe imali ngokuthenga emisha.
“Amayunithi ayisithupha asephelelwe yisikhathi futhi angeke esalungiseka. Amayunithi asebenzayo abelinganiselwe ku-3G kanti ubuchwepheshe obukhona manje be-4G buthuthukela ku-5G,” kusho i-News24, ibhekise kulo mbiko.
NgoNhlolanja, umzamo woMnyango wamaphoyisa wokuba nethenda lika-R89 million yokukhokhela izindleko zezincingo wachithwa ngemuva kokuthi inkontileka ihlangabezane nezidingo zamathenda.
UMnyango uphoqeleke ukuthi ukhokhe u-R160 million ngenkontileka eyathathwa njengesemthethweni yiNkantolo eNkulu yaseGoli.
