IBhodi le-Ingonyama Trust (ITB) liphawule isitatimende esikhishwe nguNgqongqoshe Wezokuguqulwa Komhlaba kanye Nentuthuko Yasemakhaya esimemezela amalungiselelo okubusa kwesikhashana maqondana neBhodi le-Ingonyama Trust.

IBhodi lifisa ukuqopha phansi ukuthi, ngokombono walo, isinyathelo sikaNgqongqoshe esimenyezelwe asisemthethweni, asihambisani noMthetho we-Ingonyama Trust waKwaZulu-Natal, iMithethonqubo Yokuphatha eyenziwe ngaphansi kwalowo Mthetho, kanye noMthetho Wokuphathwa Kwezimali Zomphakathi (PFMA).

Ngokwesigaba 2A soMthetho we-Ingonyama Trust, iBhodi liyindikimba esemthethweni esungulwe ukuphatha izindaba ze-Trust kanye nomhlaba we-trust. UMthetho ubeka ngokucacile ukuthi lapho kukhona isikhala maqondana nelungu eliqokwe ngaphansi kwesigaba 2A(3)(b) noma (c), leso sikhala asivimbeli iBhodi ekwenzeni imisebenzi yalo. Ngakho-ke isimemezelo sikaNgqongqoshe asinangqondo futhi siphambene noMthetho kangangokuthi sivela embonweni wokuthi izikhala, ngaphandle kokunye, zivimbela iBhodi ukuthi iqhubeke nokusebenza.

IBhodi liphinde liqaphele ukuthi uMthethosivivinywa 3 weMithethonqubo Yokuphatha ubeka izimo ezilinganiselwe lapho ilungu lishiya khona isikhundla futhi ubeka ngokucacile ukuthi, lapho kuvela isikhala ngaphambi kokuphela kwesikhathi, umuntu ozongena esikhundleni kumele aqokwe ngendlela efanayo nelungu elishiyayo. Ngakho-ke impendulo esemthethweni yokwesula emsebenzini iwukugcwalisa izikhala ngenqubo enqunyiwe yomthetho, hhayi ukufuduka kweBhodi ngelungiselelo elingaphezu komthetho.

UMthethosivivinywa 15 ucacile ngokulinganayo. Uhlinzeka ngokuthi amalungu amahlanu akha ikhoramu yomhlangano wegunya elibalwe ngezimali, kodwa lapho ikhoramu ingekho emhlanganweni wokuqala, kumele kubizwe omunye umhlangano, futhi ngalolo suku lwakamuva amalungu akhona akha ikhoramu yalowo mhlangano, kuye ngesaziso kuNgqongqoshe nakuNdunankulu. Ngakho-ke imithethosivivinywa idala indlela ecacile yokuqhubeka futhi ayisekeli isiphetho sokuthi iBhodi ayisebenzi ngokusemthethweni ngoba nje umhlangano wokuqala awuyona ikhoramu.

IBhodi iphinde iphawule ukuthi uNgqongqoshe ufune ukuthembela esigabeni 49(3) se-PFMA ukuze kuqokwe uMqondisi. Leso sigaba sinikeza ukuthi, ezimweni ezingavamile, umgcinimafa ofanele angavuma noma ayale ukuthi omunye umsebenzi wenhlangano yomphakathi kumele abe yigunya eliphethe lelo nhlangano yomphakathi. Uma sibheka, isigaba 49(3) asigunyazi uNgqongqoshe, esebenza yedwa, ukuthi aqoke uMqondisi wokuphathwa kokusebenza kwansuku zonke. Futhi asigunyazi ukweqa izikhala kanye nezindlela zekhoramu ezidalwe ngokucacile yi-Ingonyama Trust Act kanye neMithethonqubo yayo.

IBhodi liphinde liphawule ukuthi amalungu amane eBhodi asula emsebenzini enze kanjalo ngezizathu ezahlukahlukene, okuqondwa ukuthi afaka phakathi ukuphishekela amanye amathuba omsebenzi, izibopho zomuntu siqu kanye nentuthuko yomuntu siqu. Ukuhamba kwawo kusukela ngoSepthemba 2024 akufanele kuthathwe kabi njengokuchitha iBhodi noma ukuqeda ukuma kwayo okusemthethweni.

Ngakho-ke, i-ITB ayazi nganoma yisiphi isisekelo esisemthethweni sokuxoshwa okusebenzayo kweBhodi ngenkathi isalokhu iyindikimba esemthethweni emiswe ngokomthetho ngaphansi koMthetho. Noma yimuphi umzamo wokususa iBhodi esikhundleni sayo ngaphandle kokuhambisana noMthetho, iMithethonqubo Yokuphatha kanye nomthetho wezezimali zomphakathi osebenzayo uzolimaza ubusemthethweni, inqubo efanele kanye nokuqiniseka kwezikhungo.

IBhodi lizibophezele ekuzuzeni, enhlalakahleni yezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nenhlalakahle yomphakathi ohlala ezweni leNgonyama Trust futhi lizoqhubeka nokwenza ngokuvumelana nesibopho salo esisemthethweni. IBhodi lithola iseluleko sezomthetho ngokungenelela kukaNgqongqoshe okumenyezelwe futhi ligcina wonke amalungelo alo, okuhlanganisa nelungelo lokuphikisa noma yisiphi isinqumo esingekho emthethweni ngezinqubo zomthetho ezifanele.

IBhodi leNgonyama Trust linxusa bonke abathintekayo kanye nomphakathi ukuthi bahlukanise phakathi kokumenyezelwa kwezepolitiki kanye nokusetshenziswa okusemthethweni. Esimweni somthethosisekelo, amandla omphakathi angasetshenziswa kuphela ngaphakathi kwemingcele yomthetho.
