Maningi amalungu omphakathi asedutshuliwe amanye abulawa ngenxa yalo mlungu okwakuthiwe uzosisiza ngokuzosiqeqesha kwezolimo. Ngikhuluma nje lo mlungu ungigijimisa izinkantolo ngendawo yami,” kusho uSibiya oneminyaka engama-69 ubudala nobonakala ukuthi akaphilile kahle. “Ngikhuluma nje ngoLwesibili ngiya enkantolo eMthunzini lapho engivulele khona icala lokuthi ngaphazamisa izisebenzi zakhe ezazizosebenza endaweni yami.”
Eyizeka indaba yosizi lwakhe uSibiya uthi inkinga iqale ngesikhathi kwedlula emhlabeni unkosikazi wakhe wesibili, onguNkk uLindiwe Sibiya, uMaNzama, owedlule emhlabeni eminyakeni emithathu eyedlule.

Futhi kunomunye ubaba ongumakhelwane wami wakwaGumede naye abamhlukumezayo ngoba bethi bafuna indawo ukuyisebenzisela ukutshala izimoba,” kuqhuba uSibiya. “Ngithe ngibona lo mlungu wavele wangena endawo yami ngogandaganda ethi uzotshala umoba. Ngithe ngiyamyakhuza ngathelekelwa yizinkabi zakhe ezafike zangisongela ngokungiyisa kwagoqanyawo uma ngiqhubeka nokuvimbela ubasi wazo ekulimeni umoba,” kuqhuba uSibiya.
“Kwale noma sengimkhombisa amaphepha aqinisekisa ukuthi indawo ngeyami nokuthi ngayinikezwa iNkosi esanda kukhothama, uKhayelihle Mathaba wathi akanandaba nalaye nto yena uzolima ngenkani ngoba indawo sekungeyakhe.” Uma wedlula emgwaqeni omkhulu uN2 eMacambini ukhangwa izintaba eziluhlaza ezigcwele izimoba ezizungeze ngisho imizi yabantu. Uma ubuza kumalungu omphakathi avele akutshele ukuthi lawa ngamasimu kaDunlop awalime ngenkani. Amanye amalungu omphakathi okubalwa kuwo noMnu uSibusiso Dube akhala ngokuthi uDunlop usewaqedile ngisho namadlelo ezinkomo. “Uma ekuqonela indawo yakho ukutshela ukuthi yena uzosebenzisa umhlaba wakho iminyaka emihlanu mahhala bese ekudedela ukuze nawe ulime. Nakuso leso sivumelwano akukho okubhalwa phansi kuphela ukutshela ngomlomo,” kusho uDube oseke wahlaselwa nguDunlop owayehambisana namadoda aboHlanga asatshwayo endaweni.
“Phela ngangimvimba ngoba esefuna ukudla indawo yasekhaya. Kwaba ngigadlile ngoba wavele watheleka nala madoda bezongisongela ngokungibulala. Impela abaphathi benkampani uTongaat Hulett basilethela isiqalekiso somlungu eMacambini. Siyahlukumezeka, asivikelwa muntu ngisho namaphoyisa ahambisana naye,” kuzikhalela uDude. Namalungu eBhekamafa Community Trust (BCT) nawo akhala esifanayo mayelana nesihluku abathi senziwa nguDunlop emphakathini. UMnu uZakhele Sithole ongomunye wabagilwa bakhe (uDunlop) uthi kumanje usexhwalile ngemuva kokulinyazwa ngomunye wezinkabi athi ngezikaDunlop. USithole osebenza ukugada ihholo lakwaMasipala elingasenkantolo iMacambini Tribal Court, uthi uhlaselwe ephuma emsebenzini ngomunye wabasebenzi bakaDunlop ngenxa yokuthi ubengubhongoza ekulwisaneni noDunlop ekutheni apheze ukuqhwaga amalungu omphakathi izindawo zawo ngenkani.
IBAYEDE, ibe isinikela kuDunlop ukuyozitholela amaqiniso ngokushiwo ngaye, uDunlop uzuchithe njengampunge izinsolo ezibhekiswe kuyena. “Konke lokhu abakushoyo ngami ngumbhedo. Empeleni uSibiya inkunzimalanga yesigebengu esihlukumeza umphakathi. Nguyena ohlale engesabisa njengoba sengize ngamvulela necala enkantolo eMthunzini,” kusho uDunlop. “Empeleni akusiye yedwa uSibiya oyisigebengu kodwa kunamanye amalungu omphakathi afana naye. Kulabo kubalwa uMnu Prince Sibusiso Dube, uMnu Sibusiso Mndaba nabanye ozakwabo abahambisana nabo,” okhwele wadilika kuMnu Sibiya embiza nangesela eleba izimoba zabantu nempahla yomphakathi.
“Le nswelaboya enguSibiya ndini intshontsha izimoba zabantu. Untshontsha nezindawo zabantu aphinde asabise namalungu omphakathi,” kuqhuba uDunlop. Ebuzwa ukuthi ngabe ungena kanjani ezindabeni zabantu kanye nale ndawo uSibiya athi ngeyakhe uthe yena usebenzela inkampani kaTongaat Huletts. “Konke engikwenzayo ngikwenzela uHulett.
