Ufakazi woMbuso, uSergeant uVusumuzi Mogane, uthe kwatholakala iselula kummangalelwa wesihlanu uFisokuhle Ntuli owayesejele eQalakabusha, eMpangeni. UMogane usethimbeni labaphenyi abaphethe udaba lokufa kukaMeyiwa.
UMogane uthe ngo-Agasti 2020, wayeseMpangeni ehamba noBrigadier Bongani Gininda ngesikhathi bethola ukuthi uNtuli uphethe iselula ejele. UMogane uthe babevele besendleleni beyophenya uNtuli ngecala likaMeyiwa kodwa wayeboshelwe elinye icala eMpangeni.
“Sathintwa wumphathi wejele eQalakabusha ethi uNtuli utholwe neselula. Saphuthuma khona lapho ejele siyothola kabanzi ngalokhu. Safika sayithola iselula kumphathi wejele sayithatha sayifaka esikhwameni sobufakazi,’’ kusho uMogane.
UMogane ufakazelwe wuMnuz Sibusiso Yaka owayewumphathi wejele iQalakabusha osedla umhlalaphansi. UYaka utshele inkantolo ukuthi wathola iselula kuNtuli wase eyinika abaphenyi becala ngoba wayazi ukuthi bavele baphezu komsebenzi wokuphenya ngecala likaMeyiwa.
UMogane uphinde wethula ubufakazi bokuthi ummangalelwa wesibili uMnuz Bongani Ntanzi watholwa neselula esiteshini samaphoyisa eVillieria, ePitoli. UMogane uthe walunywa indlebe ngokuthi uNtanzi uphethe iselula nangempela wafika wayithola ezingutsheni zokulala.
UMogane uthe kuNtuli kwatholwa iselula iStylo kanti kuNtanzi kwatholwa iSamsung J5 ahlolwa kwatholwa ubufakazi obuhlobene necala lokufa kukaMeyiwa.
UMogane uthe enye yamaselula yathunyelwa kuColonel Lambert Steyn owungoti owawacubungula. USteyn uke wafakaza phambilini, eveza ukuthi ummangalelwa wesihlanu uNtuli wake waxhumana noKelly ngaphambi kokufa kukaMeyiwa.
Ummeli kaNtanzi uMnuz Sipho Ramosepele uthe ikhasimende lakhe liyayichitha indaba yokuthi latholwa neselula. Ubepheka uMogane ngemibuzo embuza ukuthi kuphi lapho abhala khona ngesikhathi ethola iselula?
