Ingozi Ebuhlungu NgeCawa YePasika: Indoda yaseRhawutini Irhaxwe kumlambo iGqunube

Indoda eneminyaka eyi-30 yaseRhawutini ilahlekelwe bubomi emva kokurhaxwa kumlambo iGqunube kufutshane naseMonti ngeCawa yePasika, nangona kubekho iinzame ezinkulu zokuyihlangula.

Ngokutsho kwabe-National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), esi sehlo senzeke malunga nentsimbi yesibini nemizuzu engamashumi amane anesihlanu (14:45) emva kwemini. Abahlanguli baselwandle (lifeguards) bakwaMasipala weMetropolithani iBuffalo City (BCMM) baye baziswa emva kokuba enye indoda ibambe ngamazinyo isiya kunxweme laseGqunube iyoxela ngokurhaxwa komntu malunga nekhilomitha enye phezulu nomlambo.

Abahlanguli baselwandle basukele phezulu kwangoko, baze bamazisa neenkonzo zoncedo ezingxamisekileyo kuquka i-NSRI yaseKuGompo City, abahlanguli (paramedics), kunye neNkonzo yamaPolisa aseMzantsi Afrika (SAPS).

Bakufika, isisulu sasisele sikhutshelwe phandle emanzini lulutsha lwendawo. Abahlanguli kunye nabasebenzi bezonyango baqalise iinzame zokubuyisela isingqi sentliziyo (CPR), kodwa nangona kuye kwenziwa iinzame ezide, le ndoda ibhengezwe njengebhujileyo kuloo ndawo yexhwaleko.

Ingxelo zithi lo mfi ebeze kutyelela kulo mlambo kunye nabasebenzi ababini abeza nabo, ngethuba efumana ubunzima xa ebequbha de wanyamalala ngaphantsi kwamanzi.

Abahlali bendawo abathathu—indoda enkulu nabantakwabo ababini abakwishumi elivisayo—bayibonile le ngozi isenzeka. Omnye waba bafana ungene emanzini waza, ngoncedo lomntakwabo, bakwazi ukumkhupha lo mntu. Emva koko, le ndoda indala iye yabaleka yayo kwazisa abahlanguli baselwandle.

Abasemagunyeni bavule ityala lokuphanda unobangela wokufa (inquest) ukuze bafumanise iimeko ezikhokelele kolu rhaxo. Isidumbu sinikezelwe kwicandelo lezamayeza elijongene nemizimba yabafi (forensic pathology services).

I-NSRI idlulise amazwi ovelwano kusapho kunye nabahlobo bakamfi.
