Owayesakuba nguMphathiswa wamaShishini oLuntu, uGqirha Malusi Gigaba, akabanjwanga emva kotyelelo lwakhe kwiofisi yecandelo leGunyabantu lezoTshutshiso eliphanda urhwaphilizo (IDAC) eLynnwood, ePitoli, ngentsasa yangoLwesihlanu.

Iingxelo zangaphambili zidize ukuba uGigaba uzinikele kwabasemagunyeni malunga netyala lakwaTransnet lorhwaphilizo. Nangona kunjalo, isithethi seIDAC, uHenry Mamothame, ukuqinisekisile ukuba uGigaba "akabanjwanga" kwaye "akuzukuvela enkundleni namhlanje."

"UMnu Malusi Gigaba akabanjwanga. Uthethathethana neIDAC kwaye akazukuvela enkundleni namhlanje (ngoLwesihlanu). I-IDAC ayizukuphinda ithethe ngakumbi ngalo mba," utshilo uMamothame kwingxelo emfutshane ethunyelwe oonondaba.

Utyelelo lukaGigaba kwiiofisi zeIDAC luphawula amanyathelo amatsha kwiinzame eziqhubekayo zeNPA zokutshutshisa abantu ababandakanyeka kurhwaphilizo kumaqumrhu karhulumente ngexesha lokubanjwa ngobhongwane kombuso.

Uphando lwakwaTransnet lugxile kwiikhontrakthi zokuthengwa kweempahla ezixabisa iibhiliyoni zeerandi, kuqukwa nesivumelwano sikaloliwe seR54 billion esanikezelwa ngexesha likaGigaba njengoMphathiswa wamaShishini oLuntu phakathi konyaka u2010 no2014.

Abantu abaninzi ababefudula bengabalawuli, kuquka owayesakuba yiNgqonyela yeqela lakwaTransnet uBrian Molefe kunye nowayesakuba liGosa eliPhezulu lezeMali uAnoj Singh, sele bevele enkundleni bejongene nezityholo zobuqhophololo norhwaphilizo.

UGigaba ebesoloko ekhanyela nabuphi na ubugwenxa kwaye ebekhe wazikhaba izityholo ezimdibanisa neshishini losapho lakwaGupta.
