Ngenkathi uNgqongqoshe eHhovisi likaMongameli uJackson Mthembu eba usihlalo woMlawuli Wezokuhweba Ngezikhali waseNingizimu Afrika, iKomidi Lokulawula Izikhali Zezwe lonke (I-NCACC) yamukele indlela eqinile yokuthunyelwa kwezikhali. Ngaphansi kwewashi lakhe, ukuthengiswa kwezikhali kuvinjelwe emazweni amaningi, kufaka phakathi iSaudi Arabia ne-United Arab Emirates (UAE) njengoba i-NCACC ifuna abathengi bakwamanye amazwe bathembise ukungazidluliseli izikhali abantu besithathu. Kubuye kunikeze izikhulu zaseNingizimu Afrika ilungelo lokuhlola izikhungo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zilandela imithetho emisha. I-Aerospace, Maritime and Defense Industries Association (AMD) itshele a Iphephandaba laseGulf ngoNovemba nyakenye ukuthi lokhu kusongele ukusinda komkhakha wezikhali futhi kudle izigidigidi zamarandi emazweni angaphandle. Isishoshovu Terry Crawford-Browne uthi, ngaphandle kwale mikhawulo kanye nokuvalwa kwezindiza e-Covid-19, iRheinmetall Denel Munitions iqhubekile nokuthunyelwa kwezikhali ukuya eTurkey ngasekupheleni kuka-Ephreli, ekuqaleni kukaMeyi kanti izikhali zingasetshenziswa ekuvikelekeni kweTurkey eyethulwa eLibya. Uthe kungenzeka nokuthi Izingalo zaseNingizimu Afrika isetshenziswa zombili izinhlangothi zempi yaseLibya. Ngasekuqaleni konyaka i-RDM yayisolwa ngababuki Vula Izimfihlo wokuhlinzeka iSaudi Arabia ngezikhali ezisetshenziswa ekucasuleni i-Yemen. UCrawford-Browne ucele iPalamende ukuthi iphenye i-RDM futhi ithi iPalamende ikhohlisiwe ngumkhakha wezikhali waphesheya. - ULinda van Tilburg
Bacela ukuthi kuphenywe ePhalamende ngokuthunyelwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe eRheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) eTurkey kanye nokusetshenziswa kwayo eLibya

Kwephula imiyalo yokuvalwa kwendiza yaseCovid, izindiza eziyisithupha zezindiza zaseTurkey A400M zafika eKapa phakathi komhlaka 30 Ephreli kuya kumhlaka 4 Meyi ukukhuphula imithwalo yemishini yeRMM yokuthumela eTurkey. Ezinsukwini nje kamuva futhi ngokweseka uhulumeni waseLibya owaziwa emhlabeni wonke oseTripoli, iTurkey yaqala ukuhlasela amabutho ka I-Khalifa Haftar. Ngesikhathi somhlangano we IKomiti Kazwelonke Yezokulawula Izikhali Ngomhlaka 25 kuJuni, uNgqongqoshe uJackson Mthembu, njengosihlalo we-NCACC, wathi akanalo ulwazi ngeTurkey futhi:
"Uma ngabe izikhali zaseNingizimu Afrika zibikwa ukuthi ziseSyria noma eLibya, kungaba intshisekelo enkulu ukuthi izwe liphenye futhi lithole ukuthi bafike kanjani lapho, nokuthi ngubani owadicilela phansi noma udukisa i-NCACC."
I-RDM ngonyaka ka-2016 yaqamba futhi yafaka isizinda sezinhlamvu eSaudi Arabia, esivulwe ngowayenguMongameli wangaphambilini uJacob Zuma kanye neCrown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. ISaudi Arabia kanye ne-United Arab Emirates bekuyizimakethe eziphambili ze-RDM kuze kube ngonyaka ka-2019 lapho izingqapheli zamazwe omhlaba zikhomba ngemizamo ye-RDM njengokuthi yayisetshenziselwa ukwenza amacala ezempi eY Yemen. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela, nangemva kwempi yesiphithiphithi emhlabeni ngokubulawa kwentatheli Jamal Khashoggi, ingabe i-NCACC yamisa ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali kwaseNingizimu Afrika emazweni angaphandle yathunyelwa eMiddle East. I-Rheinmetall ibeka ngamabomu ukukhiqizwa kwayo emazweni lapho umthetho wobuthaka khona ukuze kweqe imithetho yokuthumela yezikhali yaseJalimane.
I-RDM ngomhlaka 22 kuJuni umemezele ukuthi usanda kuxoxisana ngenkontileka ebiza ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-R200 ukuthuthukisa isizinda somakadebona sekhasimende. I-WBW-SA iyaqonda ukuthi lesi sitshalo sitholakala eGibhithe. IGibhithe libandakanyeke kakhulu empini yaseLibya yokuxhasa uHaftar ngokumelene nohulumeni waseTripoli. Uma kuqinisekisiwe, i-RDM ihlomisa zombili izinhlangothi kungxabano yaseLibya, ngaleyo ndlela ihlanganisa ukuhlangana kwayo kwangaphambili nobugebengu bezimpi eY Yemen. Ngakho-ke, ekwehlulekeni okuphindaphindwe kokwehluleka ukuphoqelela izinhlinzeko zesigaba 15 soMthetho we-NCAC, i-NCACC ishayisana nse nezinhlekelele zabantu kanye namacala ezempi enziwa eLibya nakwezinye izindawo.
Lesi simo silingcolisa kakhulu idumela laseNingizimu Afrika njengelungu elingelona unomphela loMkhandlu Wezokuphepha weZizwe Ezihlangene kubandakanya nokusayinwa kwalo kuNobhala-Jikelele Wezwe funa ukuthi kuphele ukuthula emhlabeni ngesikhathi se-Covid bhubhane. Ngenxa yalokho, i-WBW-SA ifuna uphenyo olunzulu noluseposini lomphakathi kule fiasco, kufaka phakathi ukuhoxiswa kwamalayisense kaRheinmetall okusebenza eNingizimu Afrika.
Ngemuva kwale ncwadi ethunyelwe izolo uNgqongqoshe uJackson Mthembu noNaledi Pandor ezikhundleni zabo njengosihlalo nephini likasihlalo we-NCACC.
Incwadi yathunyelwa nge-imeyili kuNgqongqoshe uJackson Mthembu kanye noNaledi Pandor ezikhundleni zabo njengosihlalo nePhini likaSihlalo we-NCACC
ONgqongqoshe Abathandekayo uMthembu noPandor,
Uzokhumbula ukuthi uRhoda Bazier weGreater Macassar Civic Association kanye neKhansela leDolobha laseCape Town ngakubhalela ngo-Ephreli ngincoma ukuxhaswa kweNingizimu Afrika nesicelo sikaNobhala-Jikelele weZizwe Ezihlangene u-António Guterres sokumiswa kombango ngokudilizwa kukaCovid. Ukuze uthole lula ireferensi, ikhophi lencwadi yethu kanye nesitatimende sabezindaba selinamathiselwe. Kule ncwadi siphinde sazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuthi izinguquko ezenziwa yiRheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) zizokwenza. qeda eLibya. Ngaphezu kwalokho futhi usinikeze ubhubhane lweCovid kanye nemiphumela yako emhlabeni jikelele, sikubuze njengosihlalo kanye nelisekela likasihlalo weNECACC ukuthi wenqande ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali ezivela eSouth Africa ngo-2020 nango-2021.
Futhi ukuze uthole ireferensi yakho elula, ngifaka ukunvuma kwakho kwencwadi yethu. Incwadi yakho ibhalwe ngomhlaka 5 Meyi, ku-6 lapho uvumele khona ukuthi:
"Kunxenxa abantu ukuthi badluliselwe ukuze bagunyazwe. Ngifisa ukuveza ukuthi asikho isici sokuphembelela okunje esingaphumelela. ”
Kodwa ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambili ukusuka ngomhlaka 30 Ephreli kuya kumhlaka 4 Meyi, izindiza eziyisithupha zezindiza zaseTurkey A400M zafika esikhumulweni sezindiza eKapa ukukhulisa lezo zingqalasizinda zeRDM. Kusobala impela ukukhankasela okunjalo, kungaba yiTurkey noma iRDM noma bobabili, kwaphumelela futhi, ngaphansi kwalezo zimo, ukukhokhwa kwemali yokufumbathisa kubonakala kusobala. Ngibuye ngincamathisele incwadi yami ebhalwe kuwe ngomhlaka 6 Meyi futhi ngicindezele isitatimende sosuku lwesi-7. Ngokwesixhumanisi esingezansi, iPhalamende Lokuqapha Amalungu ePhalamende lilobe ukuthi emhlanganweni we-NCACC mhlaka 25 Juni, uNgqongqoshe uMthembu uthe akazi lutho ngeTurkey futhi, ikakhulukazi ukuthi uthe:
"Uma ngabe izikhali zaseNingizimu Afrika zibikwa ukuthi ziseSyria noma eLibya, kungaba intshisekelo enkulu ukuthi izwe liphenye futhi lithole ukuthi bafike kanjani lapho, nokuthi ngubani owadicilela phansi noma udukisa i-NCACC."
Lesi akusikho okokuqala ukuthi iNingizimu Afrika, kufaka phakathi nabasePhalamende, bakhohlisiwe ngumkhakha wezikhali wezwe lonke. Sisabhekene nemiphumela ye izingalo zibhekene nesihlava nenkohliso eyambula. Iziyeleliso zenhlangano yomphakathi ngonyaka ka-1996-1998 ePhalamende Lokuzivikela (kufakwe nami ngenkathi ngimele iSonto laseSheshi) azinakwa. Ake ngikukhumbuze ukuthi abantu basePhalamende baphindwe kanjani ngamabomu yizinkampani zezempi zaseYurophu kanye nohulumeni babo (kodwa noJoe Modise ongasekho njengoNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela) ukuthi u-R30 billion owusetshenziselwe izikhali uzokhiqiza ngomlingo u-R110 billion kwizinzuzo zokwenza umsebenzi futhi uzokwakha imisebenzi engama-65 000?
Ngenkathi amaPhalamende kanye noMcwaningi Mabhuku Jikelele efuna ukwazi ukuthi lobu buhlakani bezomnotho busebenza kanjani, bavinjelwe yizikhulu ezivela eMnyangweni Wezentengiselwano Nezimboni ngezizathu ezingelona iqiniso zokuthi izinkontileka ezithiwe "zazimfihlo kwezentengiso." Ucwaningo lokuthengwa kwezingalo ngo-Agasti 1999 lwaxwayisa iKhabhinethi ukuthi isivumelwano sezikhali siyisiphakamiso esingenankinga esiholela kuhulumeni “ekwandeni kwezimali, kwezomnotho nakwezimali”. Lesi sixwayiso sasixoshwa.
UNgqongqoshe uRob Davies ngonyaka wezi-2012 wagcina evumile ePhalamende ukuthi i-DTI ayigcinanga ngokwazi ukuphatha nokuphenya lolu hlelo oluyisiqalo. Okubaluleke kakhulu, uphinde waqinisekisa ukuthi iJalimane iFrigate neSubmarine Consortia bahlangabezane kuphela nezibopho ze-offset ezingama-2.4. Empeleni, umbiko ka-2011 weDebevoise & Plimpton owawubhekise kuFerrostaal waveza ukuthi ngisho lawo maphesenti angu-2.4 ayeyizimali “ezingabuyiselwa imali” - okusho ukufumbathiswa. Izincwadi ezifungelwe ezivela eBritish Serious Fraud Office ngonyaka ka-2008 zichaze kabanzi ukuthi kungani futhi kungani iBAE / Saab yakhokha imali eyizigidi ezingama- £ 115 (manje eyi-R2.4 billion) ukuze kutholakale izinkontileka zezingalo zabo neNingizimu Afrika, labo ababefumbathisiwe nokuthi yimaphi ama-akhawunti asebhange INingizimu Afrika naphesheya kwezilwandle banconyiwe. UNgqongqoshe uDavies uphinde waqinisekisa ukuthi i-BAE / Saab ihlangane kuphela ngamaphesenti angu-2.8 (isib.US $ 202 million) wezibophezelo zabo ze-NIP ze- $ 7.2 billion (manje eyi-R130 billion).
Izinkampani zamazwe aphesheya kwezilwandle ziyaziwa ngokusebenzisa kwabo ukufumbathisa, nangokunqaba kwabo ukulandela umthetho noma umthetho wamazwe omhlaba njenge-NCAC Act, okuthi, phakathi kwezinye izindawo, ucacisa ukuthi iNingizimu Afrika ngeke ithumele izikhali emazweni ahlukumeza amalungelo abantu noma izifunda ezingqubuzanayo. Ngempela, cishe amaphesenti angama-45 enkohliso yomhlaba kubangelwa ukuhweba ngezikhali. Ikakhulu, iRheinmetall ibeka ngamabomu ukukhiqizwa kwayo emazweni anjengeNingizimu Afrika lapho umthetho wezomthetho buthaka khona ukuze kweqe imithetho yokuthekelisa yezingalo zaseJalimane.
Ngumbiko ongezansi wangomhlaka 22 kuJuni 2020, iRheinmetall Denel Munitions isiqhayise esidlangalaleni kwabezindaba ukuthi isisaphethe inkontileka ebiza ngaphezu kuka-R200 million yokuthuthukisa isizinda semishini sekhasimende esivele sikhona. Isitatimende sabezindaba asivezi izwe lapho lesi sitshalo sikhona, kodwa ulwazi lwami ukuthi yiGibhithe. Njengoba nobabili nazi kahle, iGibithe lingumbuso wobushiqela wezempi onamarekhodi asabekayo wamalungelo abantu. Kubandakanyeke kakhulu futhi ezingxabanweni zaseLibya ekuxhaseni i-warlord uKhalifa Haftar. Ngakho-ke, iRheinmetall Denel Munitions ihlomisa zombili izinhlangothi ezimpini zaseLibya futhi, ngokufanele, ekugunyazeni ukuthengiswa okunjalo okuthunyelwa ngaphandle kwe-NCACC kanye neNingizimu Afrika kuqubuka enhlekeleleni yabantu nasezenzakalweni zempi ezenziwa eLibya nakwezinye izindawo.

Ngamazwi akho owavela kuwe ngomhla ka-25 Juni: “Uma ngabe izikhali zaseNingizimu Afrika zibikiwe nganoma iyiphi indlela ukuba seSyria noma eLibya, kungaba intshisekelo enkulu yezwe ukuphenya futhi ukuthola ukuthi bafike kanjani lapho, nokuthi ngubani owayedidekile noma wadukisa i-NCACC ”. Kuyamangaza ukuthi uNgqongqoshe uPandor naye ucashunwe yiPhalamende Lokuqapha Amalungu ePhalamende njengoba ememezela emhlanganweni we-NCACC ukuthi umthetho wokuqapha imboni yezempi yaseNingizimu Afrika - "kunokuba uvunyelwe uvunyelwe." Ngeshwa, iNingizimu Afrika inedumela lemithetho emihle kakhulu efana noMthethosisekelo wethu noma umthetho wokuvimbela ubugebengu obuhleliwe noma umthetho wokuphathwa kwezimali zomphakathi kepha ayisebenzi. Iqiniso elidabukisayo ukuthi umThetho we-NCAC kanye nezinhlinzeko zesigaba 15 zazo azisebenzi.
Ngakho-ke, ngingahlongoza ngenhlonipho ukuthi - njengoNgqongqoshe eHhovisi likaMongameli kanye noNgqongqoshe Wezobudlelwano Namanye Amazwe akho kanye namandla akho e-NCACC - ngokushesha angisungule uphenyo olunzulu kanye nokwePhalamende KAMPHAKATHI ngale ndaba? Ngingabona futhi ukuthi ukuphindwa kwe Ikhomishini Yophenyo NgeSeriti ekubanjweni kwezingalo kungaba nemiphumela emibi yedumela laseNingizimu Afrika jikelele?
FYI, ngifaka nokuqoshwa kwe-youtube kwesethulo semizuzu engama-38 ye-ZOOM engiyenzile kwiPortus Club yaseSomerset West ngoLwesithathu mayelana nenkohliso nokuhweba ngezikhali. Ngizobe sengidedela le ncwadi kwabezindaba, futhi ngibheke izeluleko zakho.
