Ngexesha lesicelo sakhe sebheyile phambi kweNkundla kaMantyi yase-Athlone Magistrates’ Court ngomhla we-10 kuTshazimpuzi, indoda etyholwa ngokuncedisa ekubulaweni kwekhansela leWadi 35 uLazola Gungxe yaphika nayiphi na indima kulo mbandela.
Umtyholwa uAsiphe Sesanti uvele phambi kukamantyi uKeith le Kleur waza wacela inkundla ukuba imkhulule ngebheyile.
Isicelo sikaSesanti saphikiswa ligosa lophando uSidwell Ngaga, owangqina ukuba uSesanti wasebenzisana nenye indoda ukudubula uGungxe emva kokuba ebeye kwintlanganiso yoluntu eCrossroads ngomhla wesi-3 kuFebruwari.
UGungxe wayesebenza njengekhansela le-African National Congress (ANC) elonyulwe ngoluhlu kwi-City of Cape Town, kwaye wayedibene neSubcouncil 13 equka iindawo ezifana neNyanga, Gugulethu, Philippi kunye neCrossroads.
Wayekwanoxanduva njengelungu elingena ngokwesikhundla kwikomiti yeWadi 4, apho wayethatha inxaxheba rhoqo kwiintlanganiso, emele uluntu olubandakanya iJoe Slovo Park, Milnerton, Montague Gardens, Royal Ascot, Summer Greens, Sunset Beach, Phoenix kunye neCentury City.
Ngokutsho kukaNgaga, i-South African Police Service iza kongeza amatyala amabini ongezelelweyo kwityala likaSesanti kungekudala.
Abahlobo nosapho – kuquka nomfazi kaGungxe – babekhona enkundleni ngoLwesihlanu, baza banikela isikhalazo esisayinwe ngabantu abangama-800 bephikisana nokuba anikwe ibheyile.
USesanti uthe umdla wobulungisa uyamvumela ukuba akhululwe ngebheyile kuba akabazi ubungqina bombuso okanye iindawo abahlala kuzo.
“Ukuba ndixelelwa ukuba ngoobani, andiyi kubaphazamisa,” utshilo, esongeza ukuba akananjongo yokubaleka ityala.
“Ndiza kuthobela yonke imiqathango yebheyile ebekwe yile nkundla,” watsho exelela uLe Kleur.
Uthe waziswa ligqwetha lakhe ukuba ityala linokuthatha ukuya kwiminyaka emibini ngaphambi kokuba liphothulwe, nto leyo eyamenza ukuba acele ibheyile. “Ndiza kuvela enkundleni ukuze ndicoce igama lam. Akukho bungqina bokuba ndingabaleka,” utshilo.
Uthe ngomhla uGungxe abulawa ngawo wayesePromenade eMitchells Plain nabahlobo efuna ukutya, emva koko baya eKhayelitsha.
Uthe kukho iikhamera ezikwiziko lokuthenga ezinokubonisa ukuba wayekhona, kwaye unabantu abakulungeleyo ukungqina oko akuthethayo.
UNgaga uthe xa amapolisa efika kwindawo yesiganeko ngaphandle kweholo yoluntu yaseCrossroads, kwakukho abantu abaninzi. Ngokutsho kwamangqina, emva kwentlanganiso uGungxe wasala nabanye abantu abane.
“Ngelixa bekhona apho, kwafika amadoda amabini. Omnye wabo wabuza ukuba ngubani onelungelo lokufumana ithenda … ikhansela laphendula lathi alinagunya lokunikezela iithenda.”
Uthe indoda engathethanga nto yakhupha umpu yadubula uGungxe, emva koko neqabane layo lakhupha umpu ladubula.
Bathi ke bangena emotweni baza bahamba.
“Amangqina athe ayakwazi ukubonisa abo badubule umfi,” utshilo uNgaga.
USesanti kamva wabonwa ngamangqina kumgca wokuchongwa kweefoto, waza wabanjwa enkundleni ngelixa ebezile kwelinye ityala ajongene nalo.
UNgaga uthe wayezazi izizathu zokuzikhusela zikaSesanti kwaye waziphanda, kodwa akukho vidiyo yeCCTV efumanekayo.
Uthe ngelo xesha uSesanti wayekhutshelwe ngebheyile kwezinye iityala.
UNgaga uthe uphando luza kugqitywa kwiinyanga ezine ezizayo, kodwa ulibaziseka ngenxa yeengxelo zovavanyo lomzimba (post-mortem) kunye novavanyo lweebhulethi zompu.
Uthe imipu esetyenziswe kudubulo ayikafunyanwa, kwaye ngokutsho kwabagqirha bezonyango olungxamisekileyo, uGungxe wadutyulwa ebusweni nasemfubeni. Uthe ukhuseleko lwamangqina lungabekwa emngciphekweni ukuba uSesanti angakhululwa ngebheyile.
Igqwetha likaSesanti lathi uNgaga akazisanga bungqina bokuba umthengi wakhe angaphazamisa amangqina.
UMantyi uLe Kleur uhlehlise ityala ukuya kumhla wama-23 kuTshazimpuzi ukuze kuqhutyekwe neengxoxo ngesicelo sebheyile.
