Umasipala uthi umgaqo-nkqubo wolwakhiwo lwezindlu kubahlali abahluphekayo basemaphandleni nasezifama “unesisa kunabanye oomasipala baseNtshona Koloni”

• Umasipala waseDrakenstein wenze isicelo kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo yeziBheno ukuba acele umngeni kwisigwebo sokuba wasilela ukuhlangabezana nezibophelelo zoMgaqo-siseko zokubonelela ngezindlu ngexesha likaxakeka.
• Isigwebo seNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseKapa yagweba ukuba umasipala kufuneka enze isibonelelo kwiimali zakhe ukubonelela ngezindlu ezingxamisekileyo kwabo bajongene nokukhutshwa.
• Umasipala uthe inkundla khange ithathele ingqalelo ngokupheleleyo iinzame ezenzileyo ukubonelela ngezindlu ezingxamisekileyo kwabo basweleyo.

Umasipala waseDrakenstein ujonge kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo yeziBheno (SCA) ukuya kuphikisa isigwebo seNkundla ePhakamileyo sokuba ayiphumelelanga kwizibophelelo zayo zomgaqo-siseko zokubonelela ngezindlu ezingxamisekileyo kwabo bajongene nokukhutshwa. Uninzi lwabo bajongene nokugxothwa kule ngingqi ngabasebenzi basezifama kunye neentsapho zabo.

Esi sigwebo sawiswa liBambela leNkundla ePhakamileyo yeNtshona Koloni uJaji uBernard Martin ngomhla wama-28 kuJulayi 2022. Ugwebe ukuba umasipala ubopheleleke ngokusemthethweni ukuba enze amalungiselelo afanelekileyo kwimithombo yakhe yemali yezindlu zikaxakeka. Lo myalelo uthi akukho semthethweni ukuba umasipala athembele ikakhulu kwimali efunyenwe kurhulumente wephondo ukuze axhase isicwangciso sakhe sezindlu esingxamisekileyo.

Esi sigwebo saphinda saliphinda ilungelo loMgaqo-siseko lezindlu ezifanelekileyo kunye nesibophelelo sikarhulumente sokuyibonelela, ngakumbi kwabo bajongene nokukhutshwa. Ijaji ithe umasipala usilele ukuhlangabezana nezi zibophelelo “kwiqela elisemngciphekweni kakhulu”.

Lo mba waqala waziswa ngumhlali wasefama u-Eric Lolo waseWellington. Ufake isicelo kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo yeNtshona Koloni esenzela yena nabanye abahlala emaphandleni eDrakenstein, ukuba athathele umasipala uxanduva ngento awayeyibanga kukunqongophala kwezindlu zikaxakeka kumaqela asesichengeni ahlala ezilalini. Emva kwesigwebo, umasipala wafaka isibheno ngo-2022. UJaji Martin wasichitha eso sibheno ngoMatshi ka-2023.

Ngoku lo masipala ufake isicelo kwiSCA, exoxa ukuba isigwebo seNkundla ePhakamileyo singaneziphumo ezikude zomgaqo-nkqubo. Kwisicelo sakhe kwiSCA umasipala uthi iNkundla ePhakamileyo yenze iimpazamo ezininzi kwisigwebo sayo.

Umasipala uxoxa ngelithi iNkundla ePhakamileyo ayizange iziqonde izingeniso zayo malunga nokubakho komhlaba wezindlu ezingxamisekileyo, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwemali kamasipala. Umasipala uthe “Awuxhomekekanga kuphela kwinkxaso-mali yephondo ukuhlangabezana nezibophelelo zezindlu zikaxakeka”.

Kumaphepha angeniswe kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo, umasipala wathi kuye kwacwangciswa amathuba ezindlu angama-500 kwiprojekthi yezindlu yaseVlakkeland kodwa urhulumente wephondo “wasibhuqa” esi sicwangciso ngokwala kwakhe ukuxhasa ukwakhiwa kwendawo yokufuduka okwexeshana.

Ukuphendula imibuzo yeGroundUp, uSeraj Johaar, umlawuli olawulayo weenkonzo zeshishini kuMasipala waseDrakenstein, wathi “ayinakwenzeka ngokulula” ukuba umasipala asebenzise imali yakhe kwiprojekthi yaseVlakkeland “ngenxa yenkcaso evela kurhulumente wephondo”.

UJohaar uthe umgaqo-nkqubo wezindlu waseDrakenstein “ngokunxulumene nabahlali basemaphandleni abahlelelekileyo unesisa ngakumbi kunabanye oomasipala baseNtshona Koloni” kwaye “ugcine i-20% yawo onke amathuba amatsha kubahlali basemaphandleni”.

UJohaar uthe umasipala ebesoloko eluthathela ingqalelo uxanduva lwakhe lokubonelela ngezindlu zikaxakeka.

“Iindawo zokuhlala ezingxamisekileyo kukusilela ngokuthe ngqo ngurhulumente kazwelonke ukwenza isicwangciso ngokwaneleyo kwaye azalisekise isigunyaziso sakhe soMgaqo-siseko sokubonelela ngelungelo lokufumana izindlu ngokweCandelo lama-26 loMgaqo-siseko. Ngelishwa, oorhulumente basekhaya badla ngokuba sisisulu sokungaphumeleli kwamanye amacandelo karhulumente,” utshilo uJohaar.

Umhla womcimbi weSCA usezakubhengezwa.
