Saudi Arabia neUnited Arab Emirates dzaive misika mikuru yeRMM yekutengesa kunze kusvika muna 2019 apo vanoongorora nyika dzepasi rose vakaona munharaunda dzeRMM dzichinzi dzaishandiswa kuita mhosva dzehondo muYemen. Izvo chete ipapo, uye mushure mekukanganiswa kwemhirizhonga yenyika pamusoro pekuuraya kwemutori venhau Jamal Khashoggi, iyo NCACC yakamisa mauto eSouth Africa kuendesa kuMiddle East. Rheinmetall nemaune inogadzira kugadzirwa kwayo munyika umo mutemo wemutemo hauna kusimba kuitira kuti uburitse mutemo wekunze weGerman.
RDM musi wa 22 June yakazivisa kuti ichangobvumirana chibvumirano chakakosha kudarika R200 miriyoni yekuvandudza chirimwa chakareba chemutengi chiripo. WBW-SA inonzwisisa kuti chirimwa ichi chiri muEjipitori. Egypt inobatanidzwa zvakanyanya muhondo yeLibyan mukutsigira Haftar kurwisa hurumende yeTripoli. Kana ikasimbiswa, RDM inoshongedza mativi ese ari mugakava reLibyan, nekudaro ichiwedzera kubatana kwayo nemhosva dzehondo muYemen. Nekudaro, mukudzokorora kutadza kumanikidza zvinopihwa chikamu chegumi neshanu chemitemo yeNCA, NCACC iri kupomerana nenjodzi yechivanhu uye mhosva dzehondo dziri kuitirwa muLibya nekumwewo.

Iri rinotevera tsamba yakatumirwa nezuro kuna Minister Jackson Mthembu naNaledi Pandor mukugona kwavo sachigaro nemutevedzeri wasachigaro weNCACC.
Tsamba dzakatumirwa tsamba negurukota rezvemitemo, VaJackson Mthembu, naNaledi Pandor, mumagariro avo sechigaro nemutevedzeri wasachigaro weNCACC
Vanodiwa Makurukota Mthembu naPandor,
Uchayeuka kuti Rhoda Bazier weGreater Macassar Civic Association uye Cape Town City Chunga uye ndakakunyorerai munaKurume kurumbidza rutsigiro rweSouth Africa kumunyori mukuru weSangano Romubatanidzwa Wenyika Dzepasi Pose, António Guterres, kuitira kuti Covid arege. Kuti uwane kurerukirwa kwenyaya, kopi yetsamba yedu nepepanhau chirevo zvino zvabatirwa. Mutsamba iyoyo takaratidzawo kushushikana kuti munitions dzave kugadzirwa neRheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) endererai muLibya. Pamusoro pezvo nekupa iyo denda reCovid nemhedzisiro yaro yepasi rose, takakumbira iwe sachigaro nemutevedzeri wasachigaro weNCACC kuti utambidze kutengeswa kwezvombo kubva kuSouth Africa mukati ma2020 na2021.
Zvekare kuitira kwako kureruka kwekureva, ndinobatanidza kubvuma kwako tsamba. Tsamba yako yakanyorwa musi wa5 Chivabvu, mune 6 iyo yawakabvuma kuti:
"Kune lobby kuti idzi shanduko dziwane mvumo." "Ndinoshuvira kutaura kuti hakuna chimiro chehugandanga chakadai chingabudirira."
Asi zvechokwadi mazuva mashoma apfuura kubva 30 Kubvumbi kusvika 4 Chivabvu, nhanhatu ndege dzeTurkey A400M nendege dzakakwira kuCape Town airport kusimudzira idzo RDM munitions. Zviri pachena kubiridzira kwakadaro, kungave neTurkey kana neRDM kana vaviri, vakabudirira uye, mumamiriro ezvinhu, kubhadhara kwe pfumbamuromo kunoratidzika kunge kuri pachena. Ini zvakare ndinobatanidza tsamba yangu kwauri yomusi wa6 Chivabvu uye tora chirevo che7. Pamubatanidzwa uri pazasi, Paramende inoona nezveParamende yakanyora kuti pamusangano weNCACC musi wa25 June, kuti Minister Mthembu vakataura kuti havazive nezveTurkey uye, kunyanya zvawataura:
"Dai zvombo zveSouth Africa zvikataurwa neimwe nzira kuti zvive muSyria kana Libya, zvingave zvakanaka munyika kuti vaongorore uye vaone kuti vasvika sei, uye ndiani anga ashatisa kana kutsausa NCACC."
Aka hakasi kekutanga kuti South Africa, kusanganisira maParamende, vanyengedzwe neindasitiri yezvekunze yezvombo. Tichiri kubata nemhedzisiro ye maoko ekubata nyadzi neuori hwaakaburitsa. Nyevero dzakaitwa nemagariro panguva ye1996-1998 yeparamende yeDziviriro Dziviriro (kusanganisira neni pandakanga ndichimiririra Chechi yeAnglican) hazvina kufuratirwa. Ndingakuyeuchidzei kuti maParamende akanyengedzwa nemaune sei nemakambani eEuropean zvombo nemahurumende avo (asiwo Joe Modise wekare seGurukota rezvekudzivirira) kuti R30 billion yakashandiswa pazvombo zvaizogadzira mari inoita R110 billion pamabhenefiti ezviitiko uye yaizogadzira mabasa 65 000?
MaParamende kunyange Auditor General paakada kuziva kuti hupfumi hwenyika hwakashanda sei, vakavharirwa nevakuru vakuru kubva kubazi rezvekutengeserana nemaindasitiri vaine chikonzero chekuti zvibvumirano izvi "zvakavanzika." Ongororo yekutenga mari inokwenenzverwa muna Nyamavhuvhu 1999 yakayambira Kanzuru kuti chibvumirano chemauto chiitiko chisingaite icho chinotungamira hurumende "kuwedzera matambudziko emari, hupfumi uye zvemari". Yambiro iyi zvakare yakavharwa.
Gurukota Rob Davies muna 2012 vakapedzisira vabvuma muParamende kuti DTI haina kungoshaya mukana wekutarisira nekuongorora chirongwa cheoffset. Zvikurukuru, akasimbisawo kuti iyo Frigate yeGerman uye Submarine Consortia yakanga yasangana chete ne2.4 muzana yezvisungo zvavo. Muchokwadi, iyo 2011 Debevoise & Plimpton mushumo kuFerrostaal wakaratidza kuti kunyangwe iyo 2.4 muzana yainyanya kuve muchimiro che "isingadzoserwe zvikwereti" - kureva chiokomuhomwe. Zvibvumirano kubva kuBritish Serious Fraud Office muna2008 zvakatsanangura kuti sei uye nei BAE / Saab yakabhadhara chiokomuhomwe chemamirioni zana nemakumi masere nemashanu (izvozvi mabhiriyoni maviri nemazana mana emadhora) kuti vawane zvibvumirano zvavo zvekutenga zvombo neSouth Africa, avo vakapihwa chiokomuhomwe uye nemabhangi South Africa nemhiri kwemakungwa vakapihwa mbiri. Gurukota Davies vakasimbisa zvakare kuti BAE / Saab yakasangana chete 115 muzana (kureva US $ 2.4 mamirioni) emitero yavo yeNIP yeUS $ 2.8 bhiriyoni (ikozvino R202 bhiriyoni).
Makambani epasi rese ane mukurumbira nekushandisa kwavo chiokomuhomwe, uye nekuramba kwavo kutevedzera chero mutemo wenyika kana mutemo seNCAC Act iyo, pakati pezvimwe, inotsanangudza kuti South Africa haisi kuzotumira zvombo kunyika dzinoshandisa kodzero dzevanhu kana matunhu anopesana. Chokwadi, anofungidzirwa 45 muzana yeuori hwenyika hunonzi hwakatengeswa nezvombo. Kunyanya, Rheinmetall nemaune inogadzira kugadzirwa kwayo munyika dzakaita seSouth Africa uko mutemo wemutemo hauna kusimba kuitira kuti uburitse mirau yeGerman yekuendesa zvombo kunze.
Panguva yechirongwa chiri pazasi 22 Chikumi 2020, Rheinmetall Denel Munitions akazvirumbidza pachena mune vezvenhau kuti achangopedza chibvumirano chinodarika R200 miriyoni yekuvandudza chirimwa chakareba chemutengi chiripo. Chirevo chevatapi venhau havataure nyika inowanikwa chirimwa ichi, asi ruzivo rwangu nderekuti iEjipitori. Sezvo imi mese muri kunyatsoziva, Egypt iuto rekudzvinyirira nemauto anotyisa rekodhi revanhu kodzero. Iyo inobatanidzwawo zvakanyanya mumakakatanwa eRibyaan ekutsigira warlord Khalifa Haftar. Nekudaro, Rheinmetall Denel Munitions ari kuendesa mativi ese ari mugakava reLibya uye, nekudaro, mukupa mvumo yekutengesa zvinhu kunze kwenyika NCCC neSouth Africa vari kuwirirana munjodzi yehutachiona hwevanhu uye mhosva dzehondo dziri kuitwa muLibya nekumwe.

Pazvirevo zvese zvinotaurwa newe musi wa25 Chikumi: "Dai zvombo zveSouth Africa zvikataurwa neimwe nzira kuti uve muSyria kana Libya, zvingave zvakanaka munyika kuti vaongorore uye vaone kuti vasvika sei ikoko, uye ndiani anga ashungurudza kana kutsausa iyo NCACC ”. Chisinganzwisisike, Minister Pandor vanonzi vakataurwazve neParamende inoona nezvekudyidzana nedzimwe nyika vachizivisa pamusangano weNCACC kuti mutemo wekutarisa indasitiri yemauto yeSouth Africa - "pane kubvumidza haubvumirwe." Nehurombo, South Africa ine mukurumbira wemutemo wakanaka kwazvo seBumbiro redu kana reChengetedzo yeOrgedwa Tsotsi Tsotsi Mutemo kana kuti Public Finance Management Act asi, sezviri kuratidzwa muHurumende Capture nyaya, haishandiswe. Chokwadi chinosuruvarisa ndechekuti Mutemo weNCAC uye zvinopihwa muchikamu chayo chegumi nemashanu hazvisimbiswe.
Nekudaro, ndinogona here kukumbira neruremekedzo kuti - seGurukota muPurezidhendi uye Gurukota rezvekudyidzana neInternational pamwe nehunyanzvi hwenyu muNCACC - nekukurumidza kumisa ongororo yakadzama uye yeParamende yeParamende mune iyi fiasco? Ndioneiwo kuti kudzokorora kwe Seriti Commission yeKubvunzisa mumaoko emaoko zvinokanganisa zita reSouth Africa pasi rose.
FYI, ini ndinosanganisirawo newekodhi rekodhi yemaminitsi makumi matatu nematanhatu ZOOM mharidzo yandakaita kuOpusus Club yeSomerset West neChitatu maererano nehuori nekutengeserana kwemaoko. Ini ndichave ndichiburitsa tsamba iyi kune vezvenhau, uye ini ndinotarisira kumazano ako.
