Abarhwebi ababini base-Ethiopia badutyulwe balimala eWitsand, eAtlantis, kwiveki ephelileyo kwisehlo esichazwa ngamapolisa njengephanga, elingadibaniyo netyala elahlukileyo lokunyanzeliswa kwentlawulo yokhuseleko elivulwe emva kokuba iileta ezisongela abanini-bevenkile zisasazwe phakathi kwamashishini angekho semthethweni kule township.
Isithethi samapolisa eNtshona Koloni uThembakazi Mpendukana sithe amapolisa aseAtlantis avule amatyala amabini okuzama ukubulala emva kokudubula okwenzeke malunga nentsimbi ye-20:30 ngoLwesibini, umhla we-7 kuTshazimpuzi, kwivenkile encinane eseKontiki Farm ecaleni kwe-Old Mamre Road.
Uthe amaxhoba afunyenwe enamanxeba okudutyulwa aza athunyelwa kwiziko lezonyango ukuze afumane unyango, esongeza ukuba akukabanjwa mntu okwangoku.
Isithethi samapolisa aseAtlantis uKapteni uLiza Munro kamva uthe abaphandi bakholelwa ukuba injongo ibikukuphanga.
UMunro uthe uZarehuni Ortabo, oneminyaka engama-32, wadutyulwa entloko nasemlenzeni, logama uTemosgen Dena Abiyo, oneminyaka engama-31, wadutyulwa esifubeni, apho imbumbulu yaphuma ngomqolo. Bobabini bathunyelwe esibhedlele ukuze bafumane unyango.
Uphando olwahlukeneyo lokunyanzeliswa kwentlawulo yokhuseleko luqale emva kweengxelo zokuba amashishini angekho semthethweni eWitsand afumene iileta ezisongelayo ezifuna i-R1 500 ngenyanga “yokhuseleko”.
Ezi leta zisongela ukuba abo bangahlawuliyo baza kudutyulwa, batshiswe okanye bavinjwe ishishini labo, zize zithi ngokuthe ngqo: “Ukuba awuhlawuli siyakubulala.”
Enye ileta ibicela ukuba kuhlawulwe ngaphambi komhla we-4 kuTshazimpuzi, enye yona izichaza “njengesilumkiso sokugqibela”.
Umnini-shishini wasekuhlaleni, ongazange afune ukuchazwa ngenxa yokoyika impindezelo, uthe ufumene enye yezi leta ngoLwesithathu, umhla we-8 kuTshazimpuzi, emva kokuba amaqela abafana abatsha ehamba ehambisa amaphepha kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zedolophana.
“Bebahlulahlula, behamba ngamacandelo ngamacandelo,” utshilo. “Bebonakala besebancinci, mhlawumbi phakathi kweminyaka engama-20 ukuya kuma-26.”
Uthe ezinye iileta zishiye ezivenkileni eziphethwe ngabantu bangaphandle, logama ezinye, ezijoliswe kumashishini ngokubanzi, bezijolise kuluntu lwamashishini angekho semthethweni.
Lo mnini-shishini uthe uvule ityala eAtlantis emva kokufumana ileta.
“Wonke umntu uyoyika,” utshilo. “Abantu kule township baphila kuloyiko. Nditsho nosapho lwam luyashukunyiswa.”
Uthe inombolo yeselfowuni ebibhalwe kwezi leta ibisasebenza xa ifowunelwa kwaye ibonakala kwi-Truecaller phantsi kwegama elithi “ABC”.
UMpendukana uthe amapolisa aseWitsand avule ityala lokunyanzeliswa kwentlawulo yokhuseleko emva kokuba efumene iileta ezisongelayo, kwaye ifayili iza kuthunyelwa kwiYunithi yoPhando lwe-Extortion yePhondo laseKapa ukuze iqhubeke nophando.
Ezi zityholo zonyuse uloyiko phakathi kwabanini-bevenkile nabahlali baseWitsand, apho iinkokheli zoluntu zithi ukoyikiswa ngolwaphulo-mthetho kuyanda.
Kwingxelo ekhutshwe ngeCawe phantsi kweletterhead yesebe le-South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) JS Masakala, iinkokheli zoluntu zithi abanini-bevenkile bayoyikiswa kwaye bobabini abahlali neenkokheli zoluntu baziva bengakhuselekanga.
Ezi ngxabano zintsha ziza kunyaka omnye emva kokuba uMoses Matiso, usihlalo wesebe le-SANCO JS Masakala Peninsula eWitsand, nowayesoloko echasa ukunyanzeliswa kwentlawulo yokhuseleko, wadutyulwa wabulawa ngoMatshi kunyaka ophelileyo ngoxa wayesika ingca kwiCawa yaseSt John’s — isiganeko esashukumisa uluntu lonke.
