Ukuphepha kwabesifazane namantombazane abasebenzisa i-Basingstoke Canal e-Woking kukhuthazwe izinyathelo zokuphepha ezengeziwe ezisetshenziswayo ngenxa yoxhaso olutholwe ihhovisi likaKhomishana wamaPhoyisa kanye noBugebengu uLisa Townsend.
Ngonyaka odlule kwaklonyeliswa imali elinganiselwa ku-£175,000 yiSikhwama Semigwaqo Ephephile Sehhovisi Lasekhaya ukuze kubhekwane nezinkinga emseleni kulandela imibiko eminingi yokuchayeka okungcolile nezigameko ezisolisayo kusukela ngo-2019.
Ubude obungamamayela angu-13 bomsele odlula e-Woking, indawo yobuhle bendawo ethandwa kakhulu ethandwa abantu abahamba nezinja nabagijimayo, sesuliwe emahlathini aminyene futhi sekubone kufakwa amakhamera e-CCTV amasha amboze umgwaqo odonsayo.
Ubufakazi bobugebengu endaweni obufana nemidwebo kanye nemfucumfucu kutholwe ukuthi kunomthelela ekutheni ezinye izingxenye zendlela yomsele zizizwe zingaphephile. Lo muzwa ubonakaliswe ezinye zezimpendulo ze-Call It Out Survey yamaphoyisa ase-Surrey ngo-2021, lapho abanye abantu babika ukuthi bazizwa bengaphephile eduze komsele ngenxa yezindawo ezithile ezibukeka sengathi ziphelile.
Kusukela lapho, ngosizo lwe-Woking Borough Council kanye neCanal Authority, uMbutho unalokhu:
- Iqalile ukufaka amakhamera e-CCTV amasha ukumboza ubude bendlela edonsayo
- Itshalwe kumabhayisikili kagesi, ivumela izikhulu namavolontiya avela kuCanal Watch ukuthi agade indlela ngempumelelo.
- Nciphisa ama-shrubber akhule kakhulu ukuze uthuthukise ukubonakala futhi uvumele indawo eyengeziwe yabasebenzisi bomsele ukuba badlulane ngokuphephile
- Iqale ukususa imidwebo eduze komsele, okwenza indawo ibe yindawo enhle yokuba kuyo
- Itshalwe kumabhodi akhuthaza ukubikwa kusenesikhathi kwezigameko ezisolisayo, okumele zifakwe emasontweni azayo.
Ingxenye yalolu xhaso iphinde yabekelwa ukugqugquzela ukuguqulwa kokuziphatha emphakathini uma kukhulunywa ngodlame olubhekiswe kwabesifazane namantombazane.
Ukwenza lokhu, iForce ihlangene neWoking Football Club ukugqugquzela iDo the Right Thing, umkhankaso ophonsela inselelo ababukele ukuthi bamemezele ukuziphatha okubi nokulimazayo okwenza ukuthi udlame olubhekiswe kwabesifazane namantombazane luqhubeke.
Izivakashi zomsele zingawubona umkhankaso nasemikhononi yenkomishi yazo yekhofi, ngemuva kokuthi isitolo sekhofi se-canal-boat i-Kiwi ne-Scot nabo bahlanganyele namaphoyisa aseSurrey ukusiza ukubhekana nalolu daba.
USergeant Tris Cansell, obehola lo msebenzi, uthe: “Sizizwa sinamandla kakhulu ukuthi akekho umuntu okufanele enziwe azizwe engaphephile lapho ezojabulela indawo yangakubo futhi sizimisele ukwenza lokhu kufezeke kuyo yonke i-Woking, futhi ikakhulukazi eduze kwe-Basingstoke Canal.
“Sibonile ukuthi ukuze sifeze lokhu, sidinga ukuthatha indlela ephelele yokubhekana nezinkinga nhlangothi zonke futhi ngiyethemba ukuthi abahlali, ikakhulukazi abesifazane namantombazane, bazozizwa beqiniseka ngezinyathelo ezintsha ezikhona.
“Ngithanda futhi ukubonga uKhomishana wamaPhoyisa noBugebengu, iWoking Borough Council, iCanal Authority, iWoking Football Club kanye neKiwi kanye neScot ngokuhlanganyela nathi ukusiza ukwenza lo msebenzi. Sonke sibumbene ngokuphelele ekuphikisaneni nokuhlukunyezwa kwabesifazane namantombazane, okubonisa ukuthi izephulamthetho azinandawo emphakathini wethu noma ngale kwalokho.”

“Ngiqale ngavakashela le ndawo ngahlangana nethimba lamaphoyisa lendawo ngesonto lami lokuqala njengoKhomishana futhi ngiyazi ukuthi bebesebenza kanzima nozakwethu ukubhekana nalezi zinkinga emseleni.
