SIMPHIWE NDWANDWE

KUQALE phansi ukubhikishelwa kwezindlu zomxhaso eThekwini njengoba izolo eWelbedacht kube nokhukhulelangoqo wombhikisho kushiswa amathayi emgwaqweni abantu bekhala ngokuswelakala kwezindlu zomxhaso nokudilizelwa imijondolo eSiyathuthuka naseProgress.

Amalungu omphakathi Isolezwe elikhulume nawo athe sekuyiminyaka eminingi behlala kule ndawo ngaphansi kwesimo esingagculisi kanti nezindlu ezakhiwa kule minyaka eyedlule awukaze uzuze kuzo kodwa zitholwa ngabantu abangaziwa ukuthi baqhamuka kuphi.

UMnuz Abdul Salamaan, owafika kule ndawo ngo-1994, uthe kunzima ukuphila kubo ngoba ababhekele ezezindlu kuMasipala weTheku bakhombisa ukungaphuthumi nokungabakhathaleli abantu bakule ndawo.

Uthe ngoMsombuluko wesonto eledlule kufike abantu abebehamba ngezimoto zakwamasipala abebediliza imijondolo yabantu bebatshela ukuthi abanalo ilungelo lokuhlala kule ndawo ngoba bakhe ngokungemthetho.

“Sikhathazeke kakhulu ngoba asikaze sinikezwe isikhathi esanele sokuba silungiselele ukukhishwa kule ndawo. Okunye wukuthi uma sixoshwa lapha kumele sifunelwe enye indawo esizohlala kuyo ukuze singabi ngondingasithebeni. Akukho emthethweni ukuthi uMasipala ukhiphe abantu lapho behlala khona ngaphandle kokubafunela enye indawo,” kukhala uSalamaan.

Ngifuna indawo engingazakhela kuyo umuzi, yilokho engikufunayo, ngizoqala phansi,” kusho u-Sathis.
