Kuthungathwa isiboshwa esineminyaka engu-35 ubudala eseqe ejele lasePollsmoor

Iziphathimandla zimi ngomumo kulandela ukweqa kwesiboshwa ejele iPollsmoor eWestern Cape.

UMnyango wezokuHlunyeleliswa kweziMilo (DCS) ukuqinisekisile ukuthi uYanga Wayithi, 35, ukwazile ukuphuma esikhungweni sokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo ePollsmoor, nokuqubule umkhankaso wokuthungatha oholwa ngamaphoyisa aseNingizimu Afrika (SAPS).

UWayithi ubedonsa isigwebo sezinyanga eziyisithupha ngecala lokweba nelokweqa ngesikhathi eqa eyokwenza imisebenzi abeyabelwe ngaphakathi ejele.

Ngokusho kokhulumela uMnyango wezokuHlunyeleliswa kweziMilo, uMnuz Singabakho Nxumalo, uthe uWayithi ubeyingxenye yethimba elibhekelele ukulungisa amagceke ejele ngesikhathi eqa.

Izimo eziqondile ezimayelana nokugqashuka kwakhe azikacaci, okudala ukuthi kuqalwe uphenyo lwangaphakathi.

“Siphenya ngemininingwane yesigameko sokweqa, okuhlanganisa nokuthi ngabe akukho yini okungahambi kahle kwezokuphepha noma kukhona usizo oluthintekayo aluthole ngaphakathi ejele,” kusho uNxumalo.

Iziphathimandla sezivele zazisile i-SAPS, kanti uWayithi uvulelwe icala lokweqa.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, uMnyango wezokuHlunyeleliswa kweziMilo usujube ithimba lawo elizolandela umkhondo ukuze lisize ekuthungatheni, kanti izikhulu zisebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uyaboshwa futhi ngokushesha.

Njengoba isaqhubeka imizamo yokuthola uWayithi, iziphathimandla zinxuse umphakathi ukuthi uhlale uqaphile futhi ubike noma yiziphi izenzo ezisolisayo.

"Noma ngubani ongaba nolwazi ngokuthi ukuphi uWayithi uyanxuswa ukuba athinte abomthetho ngokushesha," kugcizelela uNxumalo.

Nakuba i-DCS ingakanikezeli ngemininingwane eyengeziwe, izikhulu ziqinisekisile ukuthi izibuyekezo zizokhishwa njengoba ulwazi olwengeziwe lutholakala.

Ukweqa kukaWayithi kuveza ukukhathazeka mayelana nezokuphepha ezikhungweni zokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo eNingizimu Afrika, njengoba abanye bebuza ukuthi ngabe isiboshwa esidonsa isigwebo esifushane sakwazi kanjani ukubaleka sigadiwe.

Ukweqa kukaWayithi kuza ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa kuphume elinye ikhefu ejele elibandakanya uMartin Jackson, owakwazi ukubaleka eBoksburg Correctional Centre ngoNovemba 2023.

UJackson, owangeniswa kulesi sikhungo ngo-Ephreli 10, 2015, ubedonsa isigwebo seminyaka engu-20 ngamacala okugebenga, ukweba kanye nokutholakala nesibhamu esinezinhlamvu.

Ngokungafani no-Wayithi, uJackson wayeyisigelekeqe esiyingozi futhi enomlando omude wobugebengu, okwenza ukubaleka kwakhe kwathinta iziphathimandla kakhulu.

Ngenhlanhla, uJackson uphinde waboshwa ngempumelelo kulandela ukuseshwa okujulile kwabomthetho.

Udaba lwakhe luyisikhumbuzo esiqinile sezinselelo eziqhubekayo ezibhekene nohlelo lokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo eNingizimu Afrika, ikakhulukazi uma kuza ekuvinjweni kwekhefu lasejele kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuboshwa okuphephile kweziboshwa.
