UMndeni kaSergeant Mondli Gabisa usukhathele ukulinda. Emva kokuba icala lokubulawa kwalo ngendlela enesihluku seliphinde lahlehliselwa uMashi 27, udadewabo kamufi uvumile ukuthi noma bekuqonda ukulibaziseka kwezobulungiswa, inhliziyo yabo isencane ngenxa yobuhlungu bokuhlala belindile.
Abasolwa abane basabhekene namacala okubulala nokushaya, kwathi abathathu bavalelwa ibheyili kanti omunye wadedelwa nge-R1000.
Kuze kube nini-ke lomndeni uzothi ngqo emhlabathini ngenkathi uhamba uhambo olubuhlungu lokuya enkantolo? Lona ngumbuzo osemqoka emphakathini waseCato Manor, eMayville, lapho umndeni wephoyisa elabulawa khona selokhu sihamba emaceleni amaningi enkantolo, silindele ukuthi icala lomshana wabo liqhubeke.

Icala elisukela ngoNovemba 8 nyakenye, lapho umufi etholakala egwazwe wabulawa ngaphandle kwamaflethi aseMayville, seliphinde lahlehliselwa uMashi 27, 2026.
“Sesikhulekela ukuthi uma selihlala ngokuzayo kube wukuthi selizonikwa inkantolo elizoqulwa kuyo,” kusho uNksz Thobile Gabisa, udadewabo kamufi, ngamazwi abuhlungu, emva kokuphuma enkantolo.
Uthe noma benethemba, ukulibaziseka kwezobulungiswa kuyabakhathaza: “Siyakuqonda ukuthi kokunye, ezobulungiswa zibuye zingasheshi njengoba besuke befisa, kodwa sinalo ithemba lokuthi ubulungiswa buzogcina benzekile.”
Isigameko esashaqisa umphakathi ngoNovemba 8 nyakenye sisenyawo. Amaphoyisa athola isidumbu sikaGabisa sidindilize ngaphandle kweminyango yamaflethi aseMayville, umzimba wawugwazwe kabuhlungu emva kwengxabano nabasolwa. Okwamangaza kakhulu ukuthi isibhamu sakhe somsebenzi satholakala endaweni yesigameko.
Amaphoyisa asheshe abopha abasolwa abane abahlanganisa uMnuz Thalenta Griffiths Cele (42), uMnuz Philani “Maphila” Mhlongo (29), uMinenhle Amahle Cele (20), ongumfundi ka-matric ngaleso sikhathi, kanye noNksz Nadia Shezi (25). Isolezwe lithole ukuthi uThalenta noMinenhle bayizelamani, okwenza udaba lube nosongo olwengeziwe.
Kuleli cala, umsolwa wokuqala, owesibili nowesithathu basolwa ngokubulala uGabisa, kanti owesine usolwa ngokushaya unkosikazi kamufi okuthiwa wayehamba naye ngosuku lwesigameko.
Ngesikhathi kufakwa izicelo zebheyili nyakenye, inkantolo yenqaba ukudedelwa kwabathathu—uCele, uMhlongo, noMinenhle. Kwathi owesine, uNksz Shezi, wadedelwa ngebheyili engu-R1000, enemibandela eqinile yokuthi angazami ukuxhumana nonkosikazi kamufi. UMinenhle wazama ukuthi ukuba ngumfundi ka-matric okubhala izivivinyo kube yisizathu sokuthi adedelwe, kodwa inkantolo yakushaya indiva.
UMshushisi woMbuso, uMnuz Calvin Govender, utshele inkantolo ukuthi icala lihlehliselwa uMashi 27 ngenxa yokuthi idokodo lisahleli ehhovisi loMqondisi wezokuShushiswa koMphakathi esifundazweni, okumele anqume ukuthi leli cala lizokhulelwa kuyiphi inkantolo. Uphinde waveza ukuthi umbiko wokuhlolwa kwesidumbu nawo usashoda, okwenza kube nzima ukuqhubeka nokushushiswa okugcwele.
INkantolo yeMantshi, eholwa nguMnuz Ashwin Singh, inqume ukuthi icala libuyele emuva ngoMashi 27 ukuze kuqhutshekwe nophenyo.
