“Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo iBhodi [engaphambili] ye-PRASA yathatha isigqibo esiphosakeleyo sokurhoxisa ikhontrakthi yokhuseleko, ngoko ke ishiya iziseko zophuhliso zikaloliwe ze-PRASA zisesichengeni kwaye zichanabeke kulwaphulo-mthetho.

“Ubhubhani uye wandisa ingxaki kuba bekukho ukonakaliswa kolwakhiwo kwilizwe lonke. Besilapha ngoMatshi 2022 ngeenjongo zokujonga ubungakanani bengxaki ukuze iPRASA iphendule,” utshilo.

UHlengwa uthe bakholelwa ukuba “sembindini woqoqosho olusebenzayo nguloliwe osebenzayo” kwaye abantu abaninzi bebexhomekeke koololiwe xa behamba.

“Kuza kufuneka ukuba kubekho ibheyile kunye nenkxaso-mali. Kufuneka siqinisekise ukuba naluphi na uncedo olunikwayo, luyahambelana nolawulo olululo kunye neminye imithetho enxulumene noko. Sibonile ukuba mninzi umsebenzi osele wenziwe kwaye siza kuqhubeka nokuvavanya. Okwangoku sonelisekile yinto esiyibonileyo,” utshilo uHlengwa.

Wongeze ngelithi basalindele u-PRASA ukuba anike iSCOPA isicwangciso esineenkcukacha zokhuseleko. “Ekugqibeleni into edilize iziseko zoncedo yaze yayenza ibe sesichengeni kukungabikho kokhuseleko, hayi apha eKapa kuphela, kodwa kwilizwe liphela. Siye satyelela iGauteng kwakunye nenxalenye yokongamela.

“Uvavanyo lwethu kukuba isigqibo sokurhoxisa ikhontrakthi yokhuseleko besingenankathalo, singenankathalo, kwaye besingahambisani nolawulo lwemali. Kodwa okulusizi kukuba yinyani efuna ukulungiswa. Into ekufuneka siyivavanye ngoku kukuba ingaba olo lungiso lwenziwa ngesantya esifanelekileyo, ngokungxamisekileyo nangaphakathi kohlahlo lwabiwo-mali. Ikomiti iza kubuya ngeyoMqungu ka-2024,” utshilo.

Umanejala weNgingqi wobunjineli uRaymond Maseko uqinisekise amalungu ekomiti ukuba i-PRASA yayisebenza kwiindawo zokugqibela zoMmandla ophakathi. “Ukusuka [eNyanga] isikhululo esilandelayo yiPhilippi, kulapho umsebenzi usiya khona ngoku. EPhilippi umgca uyacandeka usiya eMitchells Plain, uze ucandeke ujonge eChris Hani. Oku kushiya izikhululo ezithathu ukuya eKapteinsklip, kunye nezikhululo ezisixhenxe ukuya eChris Hani esekugqibeleni. Umhla wokugqitywa nguDisemba.

“Sineekontraka ezizakwakha iziseko, iindonga nokusebenza kuthungelwano. Asiyekanga kwaNetreg njengoko kutshatyalaliswe yonke into kuquka nezinyuko zokuya esitishini,” ucacise watsho.

Ephendula imibuzo malunga nokhuseleko lwangoku, uMaseko uthe, “SineziNyala ezintandathu. Asinakusebenzisa iiveni kuba umzila kaloliwe awunazo iindlela ezifanelekileyo. Kukho isicwangciso sokusebenza sokukhusela isikhululo. Ngaphambili besibeka abalindi kwisikhululo kuphela, kodwa isicwangciso esikhoyo kukuba sibe nesithuthi esijikelezayo kumda ongaphandle kunye nesinye isithuthi esijikelezayo ngaphakathi komjikelezo. Emva koko sixhonywe oonogada.”

U-Alexio Papadopulo, igosa eliphetheyo lokhuseleko, uthe ekupheleni kwe-2022, basebenzise icandelo lokhuseleko lokungenelela kwi-Central Line. “Sisicwangciso esihlangeneyo sokhuseleko esibandakanya uluntu, abezomthetho, ubuntlola bolwaphulo-mthetho kwakunye neSAPS ukuze kulawulwe zonke izoyikiso zokhuseleko ezingaphakathi kwipaseji yaseCentral Line. Sikwazile ukuphelisa ubusela nokonakaliswa kwempahla.”

UPapadopulo uthe okwangoku banabasebenzi abangama-2,000 XNUMX abathunyelwe kwiindawo ezithile ezinezixhobo ezinqongopheleyo. “Ngaphambili besingenawo amandla okubamba njengepolisa, kodwa ukusukela kunyaka ophelileyo iPRASA iqeqeshe kwaye yaphuhlisa amagosa ayo ukuze sikwazi ukubamba.”

Ngaphandle kwethutyana nje elingephi, iinxalenye zoMmandla ophakathi ziye zanqunyanyiswa ukusukela ngo-2018 kwaye yavalwa ngokupheleleyo ngo-Okthobha ka-2019. Lo mzila wawungowona mzila uxakekileyo eKapa, ​​unceda abona bantu bahluphekayo kuquka iKhayelitsha neMitchells Plain.

Emva kokuvalwa kolu kuvalwa, iintsapho ziye zamisa amakhaya azo eziporweni nanjengoko amatyotyombe esanda ngomzila kaloliwe eLanga, ePhilippi naseKhayelitsha. Ke, ngexesha lokuvalwa ngo-2020 nango-2021, phantse zonke izixhobo ezikwipaseji zabiwa okanye zonakaliswa kakubi. Akukho nto ingako iseleyo kwisikhululo sikaloliwe saseNetreg esahlulwe uphahla, iifestile kunye neengcango.

Emva koko uMphathiswa wezoThutho uFikile Mbalula wathembisa ukuba iCentral Line iza kube sele isebenza ngokupheleleyo ekupheleni kuka-2022, kodwa abakhweli babenamathandabuzo ngokufanelekileyo njengoko oku akuzange kwenzeke. I-PRASA nayo iphose imihla emisiweyo yangaphambili. NgoJulayi 2022, inkonzo engaphelelanga kumgca yaqala kwakhona kumgca wePinelands ukuya eBellville udlula eLanga, eBonteheuwel naseBelhar.
