INkantolo eNkulu yaseNingizimu Afrika ehlezi eNkantolo yeMantshi yaseVredendal igwebe umbulali nomdlwenguli, uCalvin Cloete, odilikajele ababili neminyaka enga-31 ebhadla ejele ngemuva kokuba uMbuso umphoqe ukuthi avume ukuthi uhlela ukubulala owayeyintombi yakhe, uCarmen Gouws, ngelesoskhathi wamkhipha endlini wamfaka engadini yezithelo ephethe imbazo.
UMbuso wamangalela uCloete ngecala lokuzama ukubulala, ukudlwengula, ukuthumba, ukuzama ukubulala kanye nokubulala (ubudlelwano basekhaya).
Wawavuma wonke amacala ngokweSigaba 112(2) soMthetho 51 ka-1977 kodwa waphika ukuthi ukubulala kwakuhleliwe.
UCloete uthole umufi ehamba nabangani bakhe, wabe esecela amabhodlela kabhiya amabili wathukuthela lapho ebona ukuthi akamnakanga. Wamshaya ekhanda ngebhodlela likabhiya. Wamcela ukuba ahambe naye, kodwa wenqaba. Wakhipha i-panga wamesabisa kodwa wenqaba ukuhamba naye. Ube esemphoqa ukuthi ahambe naye ngesikhathi emshaya emphusha endleleni eya esitolo esincane endaweni. Wamesabisa ngokuthi “Will jy sien hoe waai jou tette”. Wamyisa endaweni eseceleni lapho amdlwengula khona. Wabamba isandla sakhe emlonyeni ukuze angaklabalasi. Wabe esemxosha.
Udaba phakathi kwamalungu eqembu lezigelekeqe elineminyaka engu-38 ubudala athola isikhundla sikaCaptain 1 lugqame ngodlame olusekelwe ebulilini. Wavuma ngesikhathi ephekwa ngemibuzo ukuthi wayemshaya njalo. Wayeneminyaka engu-13 ubudala, futhi wayeneminyaka engu-29 lapho behileleka futhi basondelana lapho eneminyaka engu-15. Uthe ngosuku lokubulala, 07 October 2023, babenosuku. Wamthola enabangane futhi indoda ayejola nayo yayikhona. Wahamba naye, kodwa wenqaba ukukhombisa indoda ayejola nayo ukuthi akahambanga wayolala nayo ngokuzithandela. Ngemuva kokuya ocansini, wasabisa ngokumvulela icala lokudlwengula elizoholela ekutheni abhadle ejele nokuthi abe nalo mlisa. Uthe akanawo umona futhi akaboshiwe. Wamgenca waze wafa ngembazo ngosuku lwakhe lokuzalwa lwama-21. Umbiko wakhe wokuhlolwa kwesidumbu ukhombisa ukuthi ayikho ingxenye yomzimba wakhe eyasinda ekulimaleni. Wanyathela umzimba wakhe waze washiya izicathulo zakhe emhlane. Wazizwa enecala wabe esenquma ukuya emaphoyiseni ukuze azinikele kodwa wadlula esiteshini samaphoyisa njengoba kwakudingeka aphithizele ukuze athole okuthile kuqala njengoba wayeyilungu leqembu lezigelekeqe futhi kwakudingeka ahambe naye. Ummangalelwa unohlu olumibalabala lwamacala adlule ahlanganisa amacala amane okulimaza impahla enonya nayishumi nanye okushaya.
Icala lesibili lokuzama ukubulala walahlwa yicala wagwetshwa ngalo, liqhamuke ngemuva kokugwaza u-Isak Booi entanyeni ngemuva kokuthi enqabile ukuphendula umbuzo. Uvumile ukuthi njenge-‘plank’ – eyilungu leqembu lezigelekeqe lama-27s, babekholelwa ekuchithekeni kwegazi, futhi wayephethe ummese ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ukuqinisekisile ukuthi noma ephuma ejele uzoqhubeka ephethe ummese.
