Xa sijonga emva kwiminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu edlulileyo, ndinqwenela
ukuvuma ukuzibophelela kunye nokusebenza nzima kwaboNgameli Nelson Mandela
noThabo Mbeki kunye nabasetyhini kunye namadoda amaninzi adlale indima yawo
ekuqhubeni inqanawa karhulumente phantsi kwedemokhrasi: kwisiGqeba nakulawulo,

leenkundla; ziqhutywa lulangazelelo lokuphucula ubulunga bobomi babo bonke
abeMi boMzantsi Afrika.
Ngaphezu kwako konke, ndimi phambi kwenu ngebhongo nokuzithemba kuba
uMzantsi Afrika esiwubhiyozela namhlanje lowo ubusakucalula, kukho impixano
nokungaqukwa kwabathile kokwenziwayo kwiminyaka nje eli-15 edlulileyo ngoku
usisiqhamo semisebenzi nokubila kwabasetyhini kunye namadoda oMzantsi Afrika
mbombo zone zomhlaba.
Aba bemi boMzantsi Afrika bemele ithemba nokomelela okuluphawu lwesizwe
sethu.
Phakathi kwabeMi boMzantsi Afrika abaziwayo nabakhethekileyo ngamaLungu
ePalamente yethu yedemokhrasi ngelishwa abaye basishiya ku kweyoMdumba
ephelileyo. Abo baquka u-Brian Bunting, Billy Nair, Ncumisa Kondlo, John
Gomomo, Joe Nhlanhla, Cas Saloojee, John Schippers no-Jan van Eck.
Kwaba bantu ndibakhankanyileyo, ndingathanda ukongeza uNksk Helen Suzman,
uMmi woMzantsi Afrika obegqwesile, owamela iinqobo ezisemgangathweni
zePalamente yethu entsha kumagumbi amadala weengxoxo.
Ngaba bathandi besizwe kunye nabanye ekufuneka banconywe kakhulu xa
sibhengeza ukuba nokuba zinokuzisa ntoni na kumanxweme ethu izaqhwithi
zoqoqosho, nokuba kungakho ukungaqiniseki kwezopolitiko okungakanani kuthi
ngexa lenguqu isizwe sethu sikwimo entle.
Koko, kufuneka singayithatheli phantsi imiceli-mngeni esijongene nayo.
Ukwehla kwezoqoqosho kumazwe ngamazwe akulubeki ngozini ingako uqoqosho lwethu
ekulahlekelweni yimisebenzi kunye nobulunga bobomi babantu bethu.
Ngokwendalo, ukungaqiniseki kwinguquko yezopolitiko kungabeka imibuzo
emininzi kuneempendulo ezikhoyo ngoko.
Njengesiphumo, abanye bethu banokungazilawuli ngokwabo batsalwe ngamaza
otshintsho lwemozulu enezaqhwithi baze boyiswe ngamagingxi-gingxi ezoqoqosho
kunye nesaqunge sezopolitiko.
Kodwa olwethu luhambo lwethemba nokomelela.
Sinokude sithi, kwimeko ethile engaqhelekanga, imiba emininzi yomgaqosiseko
wethu iye yavavanywa kutsha nje kwixa elidlulileyo, kwaye ngamnye kuyo iye
yaluphumelela uvavanyo ukuze iveze idemokhrasi eyomelela kwakhona
ngokukhawuleza okukhethekileyo. Idemokhrasi yethu inempilo. Ikhula isomelela
ngokuthe chu, isomelezwa nguMgaqo-siseko ongalinganisekiyo elizweni.
Ngenene, kukomelela kokuzibandakanya kwethu kwezopolitiko ngeli xesha
lokhuphiswano lonyulo elo sonke sivumelanayo ukuba kufuneka libe nesidima
noxolo lolona qiniselo luqinisekileyo lokuphila okuqhubayo kunye nokubanzulu
kwedemokhrasi yethu.
Ngabantu boMzantsi Afrika abaye baqinisekisa inkqubela yawo, kwaye ngabo
abaya kukhusela idemokhrasi yethu kwiminyaka ezayo.
Ndivumele, Nkosikazi Somlomo noSihlalo, ngokuphathelene noku ukuba
ndibongoze bonke abeMi boMzantsi Afrika abafanelekileyo ukuba babhalise baze
bavote kunyulo oluzayo lwesizwe nolwamaphondo, ukuze sizibumbele ngokwethu
indawo esifuna ukuba kuyo.
Oku kufuneka sikwenze suku ngalunye kwii-ofisi zikamasipala, phambi kokuba
uluhlu lwabavoti luvalwe. Kodwa kwakhona kufuneka siyivuyele impela-veki
ekhethekileyo yobhaliso elungiselelwe yiKomishoni yoNyulo yoMzantsi Afrika
ngomso nangeCawa, umhla wesi-7 nowesi-8 kweyoMdumba ngokulandelelana.
Mandithathe kwakhona eli thuba ndithi kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo
ndiyakugqibezela ukudibana kwam neKomishoni yoNyulo kunye neeNkulumbuso
zamaPhondo ndibhengeze umhla wonyulo.
Malungu aBekekileyo;
Ubukho bethu njengedemokhrasi bube ngenxa yabantu baseMzantsi Afrika abo,
ngowama-27 kwekaTshazimpunzi 1994, okokuqala ngokuhlangeneyo bathathela
ezandleni zabo abakufunayo.
Ngeso senzo silula kodwa sinzulu sokufaka ivoti kurhulumente wabo bonke
abantu belizwe lethu, siye sashiya emva okudlulileyo okusihluthe ukuba ngabantu
kwethu.
Kufanelekile ke ngoko kulo msitho ukuba kubhiyozelwe isikhumbuzo seminyaka
engama-20 sokwamkelwa kwe-Declaration of the OAU Ad-hoc Committee kumZantsi
we-Afrika leyo eMzantsi Afrika yamkelwa kweyeThupha, 1989 ngokuqhelekileyo
eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Harare Declaration.
Elo phulo labeka isiseko semvumelwano yezizwe ngezizwe, oko kusenziswa
ngeZizwe eziManyeneyo, ngendlela emayisetyenziswe kuthetha-thethwano eMzantsi
Afrika.
EMzantsi Afrika, yazisa kwakhona okubaluleke kakhulu kwiNkomfa ka-1989
yekaMva leDemokhrasi lihlanganisa kunye amathanda sizwe avela kumagumbi omane
omhlaba awohlukahlukeneyo.
Konke oku kwakhokelela kwinkqubo yothetha-thethwano eyakhokelela kunyulo
lwethu lokuqala lwedemokhrasi ngo-1994.
Ngokuphathelene noku, masothuleleni umnqwazi ongasekhoyo uMongameli
we-African National Congress, uOliver Reginald Tambo, ngokuqala nokukhokela oko
ekwenza ngamaqurhu amazwe nawezizwe ngezizwe nto leyo eye yaba sisikhokelo
sesisombululo esinoxolo kwimpixano ebikwilizwe lethu.
Elo nyathelo lobukhalipha lenza inkqubo-sikhokelo eyayiza kufuna uxolo
noxolelwaniso, endaweni yemfazwe nempixano, labuyisela emva isifingo
esingeyonyani seminyaka elikhulu eyadlulayo: oko kukuthi, isiphelo ngo-1909
seNgqunguthela yeSizwe esaxela kwangaphambili ukusekwa kweManyano yoMzantsi
Afrika.
Ngexa iNgqungquthela yachaza ukhuselo lwesidima soMzantsi Afrika njengoko
sisazi namhlanje, yayisekelwe kwingcinezelo nokukhutshelwa ngaphandle
ngokobuhlanga.
Kwakhona, kwi-15 leminyaka kwidemokhrasi yethu, singabhengeza ukuba uloyiko,
ukungakhuseleki kunye nenzondo ezo kwiminyaka eli-100 zenza uxolo olukhethekile
nolulahlekisayo phakathi kwabaphathi bezithanga, zange kungafunyaniswa nje
kuphela, kodwa ngokwenene kwakubekwe ndaweni yimbi.
Olo loyiko nokungakhuseleki kwaye kwanika ukonyuka kuye kumashumi eminyaka
oxhathiso. Ngokuphathelene noku, sothulela umnqwazi elo khalipha lonyana
woluntu lwethu, u-Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu owaye waxhonywa kwiminyaka engama-30
eyadlulayo engoyiki ngokoyikiswa, eneqhayiya lokuba igazi lakhe liya
kunkcenkceshela umthi wenkululeko.
Ndivumeleni ke ndamkele u-Lucas Mahlangu, ubhuti kaKalushi, omele usapho
lakwaMahlangu.
U-Solomon Mahlangu wayeqhuba isiko lamagorha eminyaka edlulileyo, phakathi
kwawo esibala lawo angaphantsi koNkosi Cetshwayo owathi ngo-1879 woyisa umkhosi
waseBritani eIsandlwana, ekhusela inkululeko yabantu bemveli belizwe lethu
kunye nenkululeko yemihlaba yabo.
Kwikhulu leminyaka enamashumi amathathu (130), sinokukhuthazwa kuphela
lithemba kunye nokomelela okwaye kwangena kwezo ntliziyo zikhaliphileyo.
Kumaziko emfundo, kwa oku komelela kunye kwaye kwaphemba umlilo wokomelela
kwiindimbane zabantu ngexa lobusika obabubanda kakhulu emva kokuvalwa umlomo
kombutho wenkululeko kunye nokubanjwa koninzi lweenkokheli zalo
eziphambili.
Iqela labafundi abakhaliphileyo baye bakreqa kwi-NUSAS baze baseka uMbutho
wabaFundi boMzantsi Afrika (SASO) kwiminyaka engama-40 eyadlulayo.
Kwesi sizukulwana kukho iinkokheli zokuqala ze-SASO, eziquka: oo-Strini
Moodley, Njingalwazi Barney Pityana, Steve Biko, Onkgopotse Tiro, Harry
Nengwekhulu, Themba Sono, Mapetla Mohapi, Mosioua Lekota, Johnny Issel noMthuli
ka Shezi. Ngokufaka ithemba ngexesha lokulahlekelwa lithemba, sibothulela
umnqwazi. Ngokuphathelene noku, sinqwenela ukukhahlela umzala ka Onkgopotse
Tiro, u-Pat Tlhagwana.
Kulo mxholo sikwanqwenela ukuvuma ongasekhoyo u-Ephraim Mogale, uMongameli
owaseka kwiminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo uMbutho wabaFundi woMzantsi Afrika
(COSAS), namaqabane akhe.
Xa sikhumbula aba bafundi bamaxesha angaphambili siye sibe nomyalezo
osibophelelayo, wokuba ukunxanelwa inkululeko nolwazi kutshisa ngamandla
kakhulu ezifubeni zolutsha lwethu.
Umyalezo wezenzo zabo zobugorha isakhenkceza nanamhlanje njengoko kwaba
njalo kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo, ekubeni kufuneka sandise imida yamathuba;
kwaye ngokwenene, ngamagama oMqulu weNkululeko, kuvulwe ngokubanzi
ngokungaphaya iingcango zokufunda nenkcubeko!
Asiyilibali le mibutho neenkokheli kuba zifake umoya wethemba nokomelela
okwenza kuhambele phambili umzabalazo wedemokhrasi nakuba yonke into
yayibonakala imfiliba; ngokunika ugxininiso kwimfanelo esemagxeni ethu
ekuqhubeleni phambili imisebenzi olwazenza idini kuyo uninzi lwabantu,
bengafuni ukoyikiswa zizinto ezibabuyisela umva nobunzima.
Ke ngoko ke, Nkosikazi Somlomo noSihlalo oBekekileyo, kufuneka sizibuze
ukuba, ingaba izenzo zethu ziyichaze njani indlela yophuhliso loluntu loMzantsi
Afrika kwiminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu ukusukela ekuzalweni kwedemokhrasi
yethu, kwaye siluqhubele njani phambili uphuhliso loluntu kunye nesidima
soluntu ukusukela kwigunya ledemokhrasi lika-2004!
Namhlanje sinenkqubo yedemokhrasi esebenza kakuhle, esekelwe
kwimithetho-siseko yokungafihli nto kunye nokuvuleleka, enemigangatho emininzi
yothabatho nxaxheba loluntu kunye namaziko azimeleyo agunyaziswe
nguMgaqo-siseko uba axhase idemokhrasi.
Kwiminyaka edlulileyo, siye saphucula ngokuthe chu imibutho yolawulo. Siye
saseka indlela yonxulumano oluphakathi kurhulumente kumacandelo onke, kwaye
saphucula uhlanganiso ngaphakathi naphakathi kwawo.
Ngokwenene, urhulumente makazingce ngokuba siye satshintsha ukwakheka
kwenkonzo karhulumente ukuba mayibandakanye lonke uluntu, nto leyo esondeleyo
kubunjani boluntu lwethu ngenxa zonke.
Nakuba, abasetyhini besenza malunga nama-34% azo zonke izikhundla eziphezulu
kwinkonzo karhulumente, oku kuyasilela kobekujoliswe kuko kokulinganisa
ebesizibekele kona.
Kumabakala ezindlu zowiso-mthetho zesizwe nezamaphondo, kubonakala ngathi
isizwe kulo nyaka siya kodlula kuma-32% omgangatho wokumelwa ngabasetyhini
owaphunyezwa ngo-2004 kwaye ngethemba, nakuma-40% aphunyezwa ngonyulo
boorhulumente beengingqi luka-2006.
Siyathemba ukuba onke amaqela ezopolitiko, njengoko egqibezela uluhlu lwawo
lonyulo, aya kufaka isandla kulo mzamo unesidima kangaka!
Nangona kukhona inkqubela eyenziweyo, eli-0,2%, imeko ayiphucukanga kangako
ngokuphathelene nabantu abakhubazekileyo abaqeshwe kurhulumente, xa
kulinganiswa ne-2% ebesijolise ukufikelela kuyo.
Kuzo zombini ezi zikhankanyiweyo icandelo labucala lisasalele emva
kakhulu.
Amanyathelo awohlukeneyo aye athathwa ukuphucula ukusebenza kwenkonzo
karhulumente, kuqukwa nolawulo lwezimali, amaZiko eeNkonzo ze-Thusong kunye
nokunye okuye kwavezwa okutsha kokufezekisa ukuhanjiswa kweenkonzo, izimbizo
kunye, njengoko kusenzeka ngoku kwiSebe leMicimbi yezeKhaya, ubunkokheli
obuqinileyo.
Nakuba kunjalo, kuninzi ekusafuneka kwenziwe ukuze kuphuculwe umkhwa
weenkonzo kunye noqhelwaniso lomsebenzi kubasebenzi bakarhulumente ingakumbi
abo basebenza ngqo noluntu.
Njengoko anokuba ayazi amaLungu aBekekileyo, urhulumente wethu wenze ukuba
umlo ochasene norhwaphilizo ibe ngomnye wemimandla engundoqo ekujoliswe
kuyo.
Oku kubonakaliswa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, kumthetho, imithetho nemimiselo
elawula abasebenzi bakarhulumente kunye nababambi zi-ofisi abangosoopolitiki
ngokufanayo, ubambiswano noluntu kunye noosomashishini, ngokunjalo neminxeba
etsalwayo kuxelwe okuchasene norhwaphilizo.
Kusenokwenzeka ukuba iindlela zokuthintela kunye nokohlwayela urhwaphilizo
azikoneli, kodwa ngokombono weendlela zikarhulumente, sinokuzithuthuzela
ngokuba ngaphezulu kwama-70% amatyala orhwaphilizo axeliweyo kwabeendaba aye
aziwe nguwonke-wonke kuba urhulumente ukubonile okungalunganga kwaye ngokwenene
kukho into ayenzayo ngako.
Kwa le miceli-mngeni minye ijongene necandelo labucala. Ekugqibeleni,
umceli-mngeni ukwamalunga nomthetho, kuba umalunga nokunyanzelwa kwawo
okufanayo.
Malungu aBekekileyo;
Ndiqinisekile ukuba sonke sivumile ukuba ukuphila koluntu lwethu
kuxhomekeke, kakhulu, kwinkqubela esiyenzayo ekwandiseni ubutyebi besizwe kunye
nokuqinisekisa ukuba ubuncwane bokukhula koqoqosho kwabelwana ngabo ngabantu xa
bebonke.
Yinto eqhelekileyo eyokuba, emva kokoma kwezoqoqosho ekupheleni koo-1980
kunye nasekuqaleni koo-1990, uMzantsi Afrika uye waba nelona xesha lokukhula
koqoqosho liye lazinza ukusukela ekubeni ukushicilelwa kwamanani aqokelelweyo
okunjalo kwaqala ngo-1940.
KwiShumi lemiNyaka yokuQala yeNkululeko, ukukhula koqoqosho kwaba yi-avareji
ye-3% ngonyaka, kwaye oku kuphucuke kwaya kuma kwi-5% ngonyaka nge-avareji
ukusukela ku-2004 ukuya ku-2007.
Ngexa ukukhula kwabaxhasi, kukhuthazwa yingqesho kunye nengeniso enyukayo
kunye namazinga okunyuka nokwehla kwemali namazinga enzala asezantsi, kukho
indima okuyidlalileyo ngokuphathelene noku, sikhuthazwa liphulo elibanzi
lamathuba lokunabisa ngokungaphaya kuye phambili.
Oku kuquka, kuqala, amazinga aphezulu otyalo-mali kuwo omabini amacandelo
kwelikarhulumente nelabucala. Ngokuphathelene noku, kwiminyaka emihlanu
edlulileyo, besixhathise kwi-16% yokwenziwa kwenkunzi engaguqukiyo
kungekatsalwa nto kuyo njengepesenti yemVeliso yaseKhaya kungekaTsalwa nto kuyo
(GDP). Oko ke iye yaba kukukhawuleziswa kutyalo-mali kwaye elo nani namhlanje
limi kuma-22%, kufutshane nama-25% esithelekelela ukulifumana kuphela ngo-2014.
Inxenye ethile yoku isisiphumo seenkqubo eziyilwe ngurhulumente zokwandisa
izibonelelo zokusebenza zikarhulumente.
Ikwasisiphumo semigaqo-nkqubo esokuphucula isimo sotyalo-malo lwamacandelo
abucala, kunye nokuqhuba imigaqo-nkqubo yezoqoqosho neyemali ngendlela eyandisa
ufikelelo kwiinkonzo kwaye yehlise umthwalo wokwehla nokunyuka kwamandla emali
ngexa kwangaxesha nye iqinisekisa uzinzo kwisikeyile esikhulu sezoqoqosho
nokugcineka kwaso.
Ujoliso kutshintsho loqoqosho oluncinane kwishumi leminyaka elidlulileyo,
kunye neenzame, ingakumbi ukusukela ngo-2004 ngobuchule obungaphaya bokususa
iintlobo ngeentlobo zemiqobo ekukhuleni luye lwaba neempembelelo ezintle.
Phantsi kwalo mxholo iPhulo lokuKhawulezisa ukuKhula ekwaBelwana ngako
(AsgiSA) liyaphunyezwa, ukuqinisekisa ukuba zonke izithintelo ezinzima ezifana
nemiqobo kwizibonelelo zokusebenza, umgaqo-nkqubo wezoshishino ohlanganisiweyo
kunye neenkqubo, imiceli-mngeni yezakhono, ukungabikho ntshukumo kulawulo kunye
nokwanela kweenkonzo zikarhulumente lulungiso ekugqaliswe kulo ngobuchule.
Uqoqosho lwethu luye luvuleleka, kwaye ukusukela ngo-1994 luya luhlangana
ngokuthe chu kwindlela yamazwe ngamazwe. Amaziko ethu ezimali angumzekelo omhle
oye wasikhusela kwizaqhwithi zezoqoqosho zamazwe ngamazwe.
Kananjalo, ububanzi bofikelelo kuluntu lwethu busahleli busezantsi kakhulu
kunoko kulindelekileyo. Uqoqosho lwethu lusahleli luxhomekeke kakhulu
kwezezembiwa nolimo ukuze kuthunyelwe kumazwe angaphandle. Ngaphandle
kwakwicandelo leenkonzo, asibonanga kwaneleyo kumacandelo abalulekileyo,
ingakumbi elokuvelisa.
Ngenxa yoko, izinga lokukhula kwizinto ezithunyelwa ngaphandle khange libe
phezulu njengakumazwe afana nathi. Bobu buthathaka ngqo obenza intsilelo enkulu
ye-Current Account ingakumbi xa singena kwizintlu eziphezulu
zokukhula.
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba sinamazinga asezantsi olondolozo, kuye kwafune ka ukuba
sithembele ekungeneni nasekuphumeni kwenkunzi kwexesha elifutshane ukuxhasa
intsilelo ngokunjalo neenkqubo zethu zotyalo-mali.
Le yimiceli-mngeni ngokuqinisekileyo ekufuneka ilizwe lethu liyilungise
ukuze liqhubele phambili.
Okubaluleke kakhulu ngumbuzo wokuba: ngokwenene kufuneka ukukhula koqoqosho
kube malunga nantoni? Ubutyebi benzelwa ukuphucula ubulunga bobomi babantu.
Yiloo nto ke, umbuzo wokuba ukukhula emakwabelwana ngako ngokulinganayo
kufuneka ibe ngundoqo wokuthathelwa kwengqalelo koqoqosho.
Okubalulekileyo, ukwabelana ngeziqhamo zokukhula kufuneka kube nemisebenzi
edalwayo, ukuqinisekisa ukuba kukho imisebenzi ephucukileyo.
Ngokwenene, ngumba owenza ibhongo owokuba phakathi kuka-1995 no-2003,
uqoqosho lwadala malunga nesigidi esinye esinesiqingatha semisebenzi nje
emitsha; kwaye okubalaseleyo ngokungaphaya, malunga nemisebenzi engama-500 000
ngonyaka phakathi kuka-2004 no-2007.
Kweli thuba lakamva, ixesha lokuqala ukusukela ekufunyanweni kwedemokhrasi,
imisebenzi emininzi yayidalwa kunenani labo batsha bangena kwimarike
yemisebenzi, oko ke kusehlisa izinga lentswela-ngqesho ukusuka kuma-31%
ngo-2003 ukuya kuma-23% ngo-2007.
Ngokwenene, oku kufuneka kungasuki kwisibophelelo sethu sokuqhuba sigocagoca
umba wemisebenzi elungileyo, kuqukwa namalungelo kunye nezibonelelo
ezonwatyelwa ngabasebenzi.
Ukwabelana ngeziqhamo zokukhula nako kufuneka kuquke uphunyezo
olukhawulezileyo lokunika amathuba abo babewavinjiwe ngaphambili, kuqukwa
nokuNikwa kwabamNyama aMandla ezoQoqosho.
Oku ayikokulandela loo nto kuthiwa yi-ajenda yobuhlanga, Ngokwenene, ilizwe
elingaqinisekisi ukubandakanyeka kwabo bonke abemi balo kwimigangatho yonke
yemisebenzi yoqoqosho ngokuqinisekileyo liyakusebnza ngaphantsi kunoko
belizimisele ukukwenza.
Into yokuba icandelo labucala libe lisalele ngasemva ekutshintsheni
ukubandakanyeka koluntu lonke kulawulo kunye nemisebenzi enezakhono, kuphuhliso
lwamashishini njalo njalo kwenza ukuba ilizwe lethu lihambe kancinane
ekukhuleni okuphezulu.
Ukwabela ngeziqhamo zokukhula nako kuthetha indima eyoneleyo nenobulungisa
kurhulumente ekusebenziseni okunxulumene nemali njengesixhobo sokwaba kwakhona
kunye nokwabelana ngomthwalo wokubonelela ngempahla kawonke-wonke.
Amalungu aBekekileyo inokuba anolwazi oluninzi lwemicimbi enxulumene
nemivuzo yoluntu. Koko ndiyakukhankanya iimeko ezimbalwa kwakhona ukuze
ndibonise ubunjani benkqubela esiyenzileyo kunye nemicelo mngeni esijongene
nayo.
Urhulumente ubuhlungu xa eqonda ukuba ubuhlwempu obunzima busanabile kuluntu
lwethu, kwaye umgangatho wokungalingani uphezulu kakhulu.
Kule minyaka ili-15 idlulileyo siye senza konke okusemandleni ethu okulwa
esi sibetho ngomvuzo wezentlalo. Sicaphula kumsebenzi oqhutywe liqela
lezifundiswa kwiYunivesiti yase-Stellenbosch, elikhokelwa
nguNjingalwazi Servaas van der Berg:
Okokuqala, ubuhlwempu buye behla kakhulu ukusukela ekutshintsheni ikhulu
leminyaka. Ukwehla kakhulu kungenxa yokwanda kakhulu kwenkcitho yenkxaso-mali
yoluntu ukusukela ngo-2002 ukuya phambili. Le mpucuko ibonwa ngofikelelo
kwiinkonzo ezisisiseko ukwehla ngokukhawuleza kubuhlwempu be-asethi kuye kwade
kwakhokelela ekwehleni kubuhlwempu. Okwesibini, nangona ukwehla kubuhlwempu
kukukhulu, ukungalingani kuphelele kunyukile ngoo-1990. Okwesithathu, ukuguquka
okuhamba nobuhlwempu nokungalingani kumisela isimo ngokubanzi komgaqo-nkqubo[U]
buhlwempu behlile ukusukela kwinguqu, kodwa ukungalingani
akuphucukanga.

Kwiinkcukacha zomba onzima, abaphandi baqwalasele ngokungaphaya ukuba:
Phakathi kwemizi equka abantwana (abachazwa njengabo baneminyaka eli-17
nangaphantsi), inani lemizi elixela ukuba umntwana ulambile lehlile kakhulu
ngokungaqhelekanga (ukusuka nje kuma-31 eepesenti ukuya kwi-16 yeepesenti)
phakathi kuka-2002 no- 2006. Oku kuthetha ukuba isimo sobuhlwempu sehle
ngokubalaseleyo, ingakumbi kwabo bantu bahlupheka kakhulu. Ubukho jikelele
bendlala phakathi kwabantwana buye behla ukuya kwisiqingatha kwiminyaka emine
edlulileyo.
(Poverty since the transition: What we know, p25: van der Berg et al, August
2007)
Ngokwenene, le ngqwalasela iqinisekiswa luphando lwethu, olubonisa ukuba
ubuhlwempu kwingeniso ingakumbi kuluntu olumNyama nolweBala behlile, nxenye
yoko yenziwa ngamazinga aphezulu engqesho kunye nofikelelo kwiinkxaso-mali
zentlalo. Ngenxa inani labaxhamli nkxaso-mali lali-2,5 yezigidi ngo-1999,
ngo-2008 oku kunyuke ukuya kuma kwi-12,4 yezigidi.
Oku kakhulu kungenxa yokwanda okukhulu kufikelelo kwiNkxaso-Mali yeSondlo
sabaNtwana, okunyuke ukusuka kubaxhamli abangama-34 amawaka ngo-1999 ukuya
kwi-8,1 yezigidi ngo-2008.
Njengenxenye yokufaka isandla kwingeniso yabahluphekayo, okujoliswe kuko
ngamathuba emisebenzi esisigidi esi-1 ngeNkqubo yeMisebenzi kaRhulumente
eyaNdisiweyo yaye yaphunyezwa ngo-2008, kwangoko ngonyaka kunoko kwakucingelwe
kwigunya lonyulo luka-2004. Oku kwenze ukuba kubekho indlela yokwandisa inkqubo
kunye nokuphucula ubulunga bayo.
Ngokuphathelene nokufikelela kwemizi kwiinkonzo ezisisiseko, amanani azixela
ngokwawo. Njengokuba, ufikelelo kumanzi aphathekayo kuphucuke ukusuka kuma-62%
ngo-1996 ukuya kuma-88% ngo-2008; umbane (58% ukuya kuma-72%); kwaye ugutyulo
(52% ukuya kuma-73%).
Ubungqina kumvuzo wentlalo bukwabonwa ngempucukp enkulu ekufikeleleni
kwizibonelelo zempilo ezisisiseko. Ama-95% abemi boMzantsi Afrika ngoku ahlala
kwiikhilomitha ezi-5 zezibonelelo zempilo; kwaye sazisiwe ukuba zonke iikliniki
ngoku zinofikelelo kumanzi abalekayo. Ugonyo lwabantwana luyonyuka ngokuthe chu
ukuya kuma-85%; kwaye izehlo zemalariya zehle kakhulu.
Sikwakhuthazwa kukuba uphando kubukho jikelele bentsholongwane kaGawulayo
lubonisa uzinzo kunye nokwehla kancinane kumazinga osulelo.
Ngokungaphaya, inkqubo yethu yonyango lwezilwa-ntsholongwane
(antiretroviral) ayiyiyo kuphela nje enkulu ehlabathini kodwa iyanda maxa onke,
inamalunga nezigulane ezingama-690 000 eziqaliswe kunyango lwe-
lwezilwa-ntsholongwane ukusukela ekuqaleni kwenkqubo.
De kube ngoku izibonelelo ezininzi zempilo zihlala zingenawo amayeza
afunekayo, imigangatho efanelekileyo yabasebenzi, neenkonzo ezisisiseko
ezifumaneka rhoqo ezifana namanzi ahambayo acocekileyo kunye nombane. Kwezinye
zezi zibonelelo, ulawulo luyalambatha kwaye ukuziphatha kwabasebenzi kufunwa
ukuphuculwa.
Kwimfundo, siye sabona ukwehla kwirashiyo katitshala: umfundi; phantse
ufikelelo ibe lufikelelo oluvuleleke kuwonke-wonke ngokobhaliso kumgangatho
wezikolo zamabanga aphantsi, kunye nokuphucuka kwinani labafundi abaphumelela
imathematika, ukuxela imizekelo embalwa.
Kwangaxesha nye, kwenziwe umzamo omkhulu wokuphucula izakhiwo kwimimandla
ehluphekayo.
Kakade siyazi ukuba izinga labayekayo ukufunda kumanqanaba emfundo
ephakamileyo kunye nemfundo enomsila liphezulu ngokungamkelekiyo, kwaye inkqubo
yemfundo kusafuneka ukuba iveze iintlobo eziyimfuneko zezakhono zemfundo
ezifunwa luluntu
Ukongeza, intsingiselo ekusebenzeni, ngokokufundisa kunye nokufunda, ibonisa
ukuzinga kokohlukana ngokwezentlalo kwangaphambili.
Okuphoxayo kukuba, apho imfundo ifuneka ngamandla ekuncedeni ekupheliseni
ubuhlwempu, kulapho kungekho khona izibonelelo zokusebenza, ulawulo kunye
nootitshala.
Iinkqubo zentlalo zikarhulumente nazo zikuphucule okusisiseko
kwabahluphekayo ngokohlobo lwezindlu ngeenkxaso ezi-2,6-zezigidi
ezinikiweyo.
Kakade kufuneka sivume ukuba inkqubo yolwabiwo lomhlaba ngokunjalo nenkxaso
yasemva kwalo ngabe iphethwe ngcono nangokukhawuleza.
Xa kukonke, sinebhongo ngenkqubela kwiinkqubo zethu zentlalo. Kodwa ngeke
sizonelise ngotshintsho nje oluninzi.
Nokuba kwimfundo, impilo, kwezezindlu, amanzi nogutyulo, umbuzo ongundoqo
esijongana nawo yonke imihla ngowokuba siwuphucula njani na umgangatho wezi
nkonzo! Koko isende indlela ekusafuneka siyihambe.
Malungu aBekekileyo;
Isibetho solwaphulo-mthetho sihleli sisisibetho esingundoqo wokungakhuseleki
kubemi boMzantsi Afrika. Amava emihla ngemihla, kwiindawo ezihluphekayo
nezityebileyo ngokufanayo, yenye yezinto ezixhalabisayo kuba kuhlala
kunokwenzeka kube khona uhlaselo olunobundlobongela.
Kumaziko karhulumente nawabucala, ukubakhona kwezikim ezingcolileyo
ezithatha yonke imithombo oko zikwenza ngorhwaphilizo kuhlala kuyinto ekhathaza
kakhulu leyo
Kakade, izinga lolwaphulo-mthetho xa lulonke, njengokuba lalonyukile
ngo-2002, lehlile ngokugaguqukiyo. Zonke iintlobo zinokoyanyaniswa zingqinele
oku.
Kodwa siyazi ukuba ukwehla akukhawulezanga kakhulu, hayi nangezinga le-7-10%
ebesizibekele lona kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo zokulwa ulwaphulo-mthetho. Into
yokuba izehlo zophango olunobundlobongela emizini kunye nakumashishini
zinyukile, kwaye ulwaphulo-mthetho olubhekiswe kwabasetyhini nasebantwaneni
lungadanjiswanga ngawo nangawaphi na amanyathelo abonakalayo, ngumba okhathaza
kakhulu ke lowo.
Oku kukhomba kubuthathaka kubumelwane bethu, ingakumbi ekwakhiweni
kokubambana kwimbumba yamanyama kuluntu okuya kusinceda ukuba sithintele kwaye
silwe ulwaphulo-mthetho. Oku kukhomba ubuthathaka kwindlela yobulungisa
kulwaphulo-mthetho, ukusukela ekuphandweni kwamatyala ukuya ekolulekweni
kwaboni. Ikhomba ubuthathaka ekusebenzeni ngamandla kwenkqubo yeenkundla,
ngokobugcisa kunye nezinye izakhiwo kunye nolawulo.
Le yimiba yenkqubo yobulungisa kulwaphulo-mthetho ebanzi elungiswe ngokutsha
eqalileyo ukuyilungisa.
Kananjalo, ekuzihlabeni amadlala, kufuneka singalahlekani nento yokuba into
esiyihlolayo yinkqubo eyonwabela, kakhulu, ukuba semthethweni okwake kwehla
elizweni lethu.
Oku kungenxa yotshintsho olwenziwe ngala maziko, ngokwemigaqo-nkqubo yawo
ngokusekelwe kwinkcubeko yamalungelo oluntu, ukwakhiwa kwawo ngokwedemografi,
kunye neenkqubo zawo zokuthathela kuwo uxanduva.
Kodwa masingazikhohlisi: kuba ngobomi bethu xa bubo ke bentlalo, utshintsho
olunjalo lusekumabakala asakhulayo. Isende indlela ekusafuneka siyihambe.
Ndiqinisekile ukuba amaLungu aBekekileyo ayakuvuma ukuba uluntu lolawulo
olwazelelayo lwedemokhrasi yethu lunokufumana intsingiselo ukuya kuma apho
sinika khona ingqalelo kwabona bangakhuselekanga kuluntu.
Ngokuphathelene noku, siye saqinisekisa ukuba iinzame eziluqilima ziyenziwa
ukuphucula iimeko zabantwana, abasetyhini, abantu abakhubazekileyo kunye
nabadala oko kusenziwa ngomthetho kunye namaphulo.
Ngamaphulo enkxaso kwaye nangenxa yokubambisana esiye sakwenza kunye
nemibutho emele la maqela abuthathaka, siye sakuphucula ukuqonda okujikeleze
imiba ewachaphazelayo kwaye kwakhuthazwa ngenkqubela ukuhlanganiswa
ngokuqhelekileyo kwezi zinto zikhathazayo.
Kusenza sibe nebhongo kakhulu, umzekelo, owokuba imizi ephethwe
ngabasetyhini ibe yiyo efumana isabelo esikhulu kune-avareji somvuzo wezentlalo
kuqukwa nezindlu kunye nokhathalelo lwempilo, kunye nokuba phakathi kweenkqubo
eziphumeleleyo kubekho amaphulo kugonyo kunye nezondlo zabantwana.
Ufikelelo kwingqesho kunzima kakhulu kwabasetyhini basemaphandleni, kulutsha
kunye nakubantu abakhubazekileyo. Intsholongwanekagawulayo ineempembelelo
kakhulu kwabasetyhini abasebatsha. Ubundlobongela obubhekiselwe kwabasetyhini
nasebantwaneni buphezulu kakhulu.
Yonke le misebenzi yeyexesha elizayo.
Nkosikazi Somlomo kunye noSihlalo oBekekileyo;
Le ke yenye yenkqubela eze nedemokhrasi, kunye nenkqubela eyenziwe
ngurhulumente ekufezekiseni igunya labavoti.
Akukho mpikiso yokuba, ngawo nawaphi na amanyathelo, inkqubela eyenziwe
ukusukela ngo-1994 iyakhuthaza. Kodwa akunakubakho mathandabuzo okuba
isemininzi imiceli-mngeni esekhona.
Kufanelekile ke ngoko ukuba sizikhumbuze ngaloo myalelo wethemba nokomelela,
inkqubela notshintsho, walowo wayesakuba nguMomgameli Nelson Mandela, kwincwadi
engobomi bakhe ethi, Long Walk to Freedom:
Ndiyihambile loo ndlela inde iya enkululekweni. Ndizamile ukuba
ndingagevezeli, ndiye ndakhubeka endleleni. Kodwa ndiye ndafumanisa imfihlo
yokuba emva kokonyuka intaba ende, umntu uye afumanise ukuba ziseninzi ezinye
iintaba ekusafuneka azinyuke. Ndithathe umzuzu apha wokuba ndiphumle, ukuba
ndijonge okuhle okundijikelezileyo, ndijonge emva kumgama esele ndiwuhambile.
Kodwa ndinokuphumla nje umzuzwana, kuba inkululeko iza neemfanelo, kwaye
andinakuzilibazisa, kuba uhambo lwam olude alukapheli.
Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ukusuka ngoku abantu bezwe lethu bayakubhengeza
iinkokheli abazifunayo ukuba ziqhubele phambili umsebenzi omhle walo mlweli
nkululeko mkhulu kangaka kunye nabanye abaseki bedemokhrasi yethu.
Ngexa iindlela esizisebenzisayo zinokwahluka, iinjongo ekufuneka sijolise
kuzo zicacile kwaye zibekwe ngokungaxandanga kuMgaqosiseko wethu: yeyokudala
indawo yabantu emanyeneyo, engenalo ucalulo, engacaluli ngokwesini,
enedemokhrasi nenempumelelo edlala indima entle ekwakheni ilizwe elingcono.
Kwiminyaka emithandathu edlulileyo, iinkokheli zabantu bethu zaye zahlangana
kunye kwiNgqungquthela yoPhuhliso nokuKhula zaze zafikelela kwisivumelwano
ngemisebenzi ekufuneka sonke siyenze ukuphucula ubulunga bobomi babemi
boMzantsi Afrika, ingakumbi ekwehliseni ngesiqingatha intswelangqesho kunye
nobuhlwempu ngo-2014. Ezi zivumelwano ziquka:
- Ukudala imisebenzi emininzi, imisebenzi engcono nomsebenzi ophucukileyo
wabantu bonke oko kusenziwa ngamazinga aphezulu otyalo-mali, iinkqubo
zemisebenzi yoluntu, ubambiswano nezicwangciso zamacandelo, inkqubo yokufumana
imisebenzi kwingingqi, ukuphakanyiswa kwamashishini amancinane nenkxaso
yookopoletyeni beenkampani; - Ukulungisa umceli mngeni wotyalo-mali ngokuphucula ulondolozo, ukusa
ngokufanelekileyo izibonelelo ukusuka kumhlalaphantsi nakwiingxowa-mali
zobekelo, izindlu, imirhumo yecandelo lezimali kunye nokunikwa kwabamnyama
amandla ezoqoqosho; - Ukuqhubela phambili ubulungisa, ukuphuhlisa izakhono, ukudala amathuba
ezoqoqosho kunye nokunabisa iinkonzo; kunye - Namanyathelo athathwa kwingingqi kunye nophumezo lophuhliso, kuqukwa
nolungiselelo lwezakhiwo kunye nofikelelo kwiinkonzo ezisisiseko.
Ndiqinisekile, ukuba, njengenxenye kunye nokongeza, kwezi njongo abeMi
boMzantsi Afrika ngeke bohluke ngokuphathelene nemfuno yokuphucula inkqubo
yethu yemfundo; ukunika ukhathalelo lwempilo olwaneleyo, oluphucukileyo
nolunobulungisa, ukuphuhlisa imimandla yethu yasemaphandleni kunye
nokuqinisekisa ukhuselo lokutya; kunye nokomeleza umlo ochasene
nolwaphulo-mthetho norhwaphilizo.
Ndibala le miba hayi ngenxa yokuba iquka konke okanye ngenxa yokuyibala
siyakulungisa zonke izinto ezingalunganga kuluntu lwethu. Kunoko, ndikhethe
ukwenza oko ukugxininisa into yokuba uMzantsi Afrika awehlelwa bubuhlwempu
bemithetho-siseko. Umceli-mngeni wethu kukuguqulela le mithetho-siseko ube
ziinkqubo neeprojekithi zophunyezo olusebenzayo.
Le mithetho-siseko ingqinwa phantse lulo lonke uluntu, njengoko ibonisiwe
kwiiNjongo zoPhuhliso zesiGaba seXesha leWaka leMinyaka seZizwe
eziManyeneyo.
Kwaye kananjalo uluntu namhlanje lujongene nengozi yokuba ukuphunyezwa kwezi
njongo kunokumiselwa elinye ixesha ngeminyaka emininzi, xa ingengomashumi
eminyaka, njengesiphumo sobunzima bezoqoqosho obujikeleze ilizwe xa
lilonke.
Into, eyaqala ehlabathini, njengobunzima bezoqoqosho kumaziko ambalwa
abolekisa ngemali yaye yagcwala ihlabathi lonke, yaba neziphumo ezibi
kwiimveliso ezisisiseko nakurhwebo.
Sinokukuhlaba amadlala ukunyoluka, ixesha elifutshane kunye nokungabi
nankathalo kwabaphathi beenkampani ezinkulu ezenze ukuba ubunzima bukhawuleze.
Singayigxeka imigaqo-nkqubo yoorhulumente eye yangakujongi okungundoqo kwaye
yanika iimvume ezinokunyoluka zeemalike ezingalawulwayo ukuba zibange umonakalo
kwiinkqubo zezimali. Sinokukwenza konke oku; kwaye siyakungqinelwa
ngokufanelekileyo.
Ngexa umsebenzi wethu ongundoqo nekufuneka wenziwe ngoku ikukuzibulela
iziphumo zolu phuhliso kuqoqosho lwethu kunye nakummandla wethu, ngoku kufuneka
siveze iimpendulo eziya kunciphisa iimpembelelo zalo ingakumbi kuloo macandelo
abuthatha oluntu lwethu.
Into esiyaziyo kukuba okusingqongileyo okulawulayo elizweni lethu kunye
nomgaqo-siseko wengeniso zemali ochasene nokungazinzi koqoqosho esiye sayamkela
iye yasinceda ukuphepha iimpembelelo ezimbi zobu bunzima.
Kodwa siqonda sonke ukuba, ngenxa yokuba sihlanganiswe ngamandla kuqoqosho
lwelizwe, imfuno yempahla yethu ethunyelwa ngaphandle yehlile; ufikelelo
kwizimali kunye nokungena kwenkunzi kuye kwajika kwamandundu; imfuno esezantsi
iye yawisa imveliso; ukudalwa kwemisebenzi kuchaphazeleke kakubi kwaye kwamanye
amacandelo udendo luye lwenzeka ngokwenene.
Obu bunzima buye bangqamana nexesha apho ukuhla nokunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye
namazinga enzala ebese phezulu kakhulu.
Ludityanisiwe, olu phuhliso, lwenza iingeniso esizifunayo zokwandisa
ulungiselelo lweenkonzo kunye nokuphumeza iiprojekithi zezakhiwo zethu. Nakuba
kunjalo, siye sanyanzeleka ukuba sehlise iingqikelelo zethu ngokokukhula kunye
nokudalwa kwemisebenzi.
Siyazi nathi ukuba uMzantsi Afrika awuchaphazelekanga ngokumandundu kangako
kunamanye amazwe amaninzi. Ngokwenene, ngexesha elo amanye amazwe ebehlelwe
okanye ejonge ukuwa, uMzantsi Afrika kunye nenxenye yelizwekazi basakulungele
ukukhula, nokuba kungezinga elincinane na.
Ngokuphathelene noku, Malungu aBekekileyo, ndinovuyo lokunixelela ukuba
ukudibana okuphakathi kwe-ofisi kaMongameli kunye neenkokheli zamaqabane
ezentlalo awohlukeneyo, savumelana ngokuhlangeneyo ukuba siyile iindlela eziya
kunciphisa obu bunzima kuluntu lwethu. Iqela elonyulelwe lomsebenzi elisebenza
ngale micimbi lisasebenza ngamandla, kwaye ezi ndidi zeempendulo zilandelayo
kusaxoxwa ngazo:
Okokuqala, urhulumente uyakuqhuba ngeeprojekithi zakhe zotyalo-mali
kuwonke-wonke, xabiso lazo elo ke linyuke laya kuma kwizigidi zezigidi
ezingama-R690 kwiminyaka emithathu ezayo. Ngokuphathelene noku, apho kukho
khona imfuneko siyakuyila iindlela zokunyusa imali.
Oku kuyakuquka inkxaso evela kumaziko ethu ophuhliso kunye nenkxaso
yemali-mboleko evela kwii-arhente zamazwe ngamazwe, ngokunjalo nobambiswano
kunye necandelo labucala kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezibonelelo ezilawulwa
ngabasebenzi ezifana neengxowa-mali zomhlalaphantsi.
Okwesibini, siyakwenza kuqine iinkqubo zengqesho kwicandelo likarhulumente.
Kwelinye icala, amacebo okwandisa ingqesho kumacandelo afana nelempilo,
lentlalontle, imfundo kunye nee arhente zokunyanzeliswa komthetho aya kuqhuba.
Kwelinye icala, siya kukhawulezisa ukungena kwesigaba esilandelayo seNkqubo
yeMisebenzi kaRhulumente eYandisiweyo.
Okwesithathu, amanyathelo okuthomalalisa anokuqalwa kwicandelo labucala
ukuze kuchaswe ukwehla okugqithisileyo kutyalo-mali kunye nokuvalwa
okungeyomfuneko kweendawo zeemveliso okanye imizi mveliso.
Ngokwecala lakhe, urhulumente unokukhuthaza amaziko alungiselela ukuxhaswa
kwamashishini kunye nezinto eziza kwenza umtsalane ukunceda ekujonganeni
nemiceli mngeni kumacandelo awohlukeneyo, kunye nokunceda aphuhliso ezimali
ukuba ancede iifem ezisebunzimeni ngenxa yobunzima bezimali.
Kuyakujongwa ezinye iindlela kunokuba kudendwe, kuqukwa iiholide ezinde,
uqeqesho olongeziweyo, imisebenzi yexesha elifutshane nekwabelwana ngayo. Oku
kuyakudityaniswa nokuphakanyiswa kwephulo lokuba neQhayiya ngokuba
ngowaseMzantsi Afrika kunye namanyathelo angqongqo kwizinto ezingeniswa
elizweni ngokungekho mthethweni.
Okwesine, urhulumente uyakugcina kwaye andise inkcitho yentlalo, kuqukwa
nokolula ngokuqhubekayo inkxaso-mali yesondlo sabantwana abaneminyaka eli-18
yobudala kunye nokwehlisa iminyaka yokufanelekela umhlalaphantsi iye kuma-60
emadodeni.
Ukongeza, siyakusebenzisa ngokungaphaya iNkxaso yokuNika isiQabu
kwiNtlupheko eNtlalweni kunye namanyathelo okhuselo lokutya kwaye kwakhona
sijolise kwabo mhlawumbi bangekho phantsi kokhuselo lweNgxowa-mali
ye-Inshurensi yokungaSebenzi okanye abo bazisebenzise bazigqiba izibonelelo
zabo.
Siyakuqhuba kwakhona sinika ingqwalasela ekhethekileyo kumceli mngeni
wokuziphatha okungafikelelekiyo ngakwicala lezinye iinkampani zethu.
Ngokuphathelene noku, singathanda ukwenza isindululo sokuba iKomishini
yoKhuphiswano ibe nesandla esiqinileyo esibonisayo ukuqinisekisa ukuba aboni
bayabanjwa.
Siyathemba ukuba uluntu luyakunyusa eyawo imigangatho yobutsha ntliziyo
ukuqinisekisa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuba njengoko amaxabiso ezinto
esehla, iziqhamo ziviwa ngabemi xa bebonke.
La manyathelo ayakuvuselelwa yimithetho-siseko yomgaqo-siseko wengeniso
zemali ochasene nokungazinzi koqoqosho. Koko, siyakuqinisekisa ukuba amanqanaba
okuboleka enziwa ngurhulumente anobulumko kwaye agciniwe. Oku kukwaquka
nokwehliswa ngokukhawuleza kwamanqanaba etyala karhulumente nanini iimeko
zisiba ngcono.
Iinzame zethu ziyakuvuselelwa kukwazi ukuba amanyathelo okukhusela
okusingqongileyo kunye nokudambisa iimpembelelo zokutshintsha kwemozulu nawo
anokufaka isandla ekudalweni kwemisebenzi.
Kwiintlanganiso ze-G20 kunye nezinye iindibano kumaziko ahlangeneyo
urhulumente wethu uye walwela ukubandakanyeka okufanelekileyo nokungamandla
ingakumbi kumazwe aphuhlileyo apho ubunzima buqale khona kwaye bumandundu
khona. Siyakholwa ukuba lifikile ixesha lokwandisa umthetho wasekhaya kunye
nokuhlola inkqubo yezimali, kodwa ngaphaya koku, uqwalaselo kunye namanyathelo
kwisikeyile samazwe ngamazwe akwenzekanga ukuba aphetshwe kwaye aba
yimfuneko.
Okubalulekileyo, kufuneka kwakhona sikhusele indlela yorhwebo yehlabathi,
sigqibe uthetha-thethwano oluqhubayo ngoku kwi-Doha Round yothetha-thethwano
lorhwebo lwehlabathi, kwaye kuqinisekiswe ukuba uncedo alwehliswa.
Isifundo esibophelelayo esivela kula mava sesokuba sifuna ubambiswano
oluluqilima phakathi kwabo kukho indima abayidlalayo kwezoqoqosho kwisikeyile
sasekhaya nesamazwe ngamazwe, hayi kuphela ukususa iimpembelelo zobunzima,
kodwa kwakhona ukuthatha amanyathelo anokuthintela ukwenzeka kwakhona.
Kwilizwe lethu, siyakwenza le misebenzi njengenxenye yenkqubo yokubeka
uluntu lwethu kwindlela ephezulu yokukhula kunye nophuhliso. Ubude bexesha
ngokubhekisele ekufumaneni indlela ephezulu inokuba yolulekile ngandlela thile.
Kodwa asithandabuzi ukuba liza kufika msinyane elo thuba kunokuba lifike
sekudlule ixesha.
Ngokuphathelene noku, indlela esilimisa ngayo ilizwe lethu ukuba lithathe
amathuba eza kwicala lethu, iya kubaluleka kakhulu. Apha ke ndibhekisela
kakhulu kwiNdebe yeHlabathi ye-FIFA yango-2010 ngokunjalo neNdebe yoManyano eza
kuba kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ukusuka ngoku. Phantse zonke iiprojekithi kunye
namacebo zigqityiwe okanye sele ziza kugqitywa ukusuka kumabala ezemidlalo,
izakhiwo zothutho, amanyathelo okhuseleko, imiba yeendawo zokuhlala, ukuya
kumacebo empilo nemfuduko oko kuqinisekisa ukuzithemba kommandla webhola
ekhatywayo yamazwe ngamazwe okuba owethu umnyhadala uya kuba nempumelelo.
Kwaye sikholelwa ekubeni, emva kokuphumelela kahlanu ngokulandelelana, iqela
lesizwe lebhola ekhatywayo ngoku lizithemba ngokungaphaya kwaye lizilungiselela
ukudlala ngokungaphaya kunokulindelekileyo!
Kodwa ngaphaya koku, ilifa lokwenene lalo mnyhadala liya kuba sekubeni nako
kwethu ukubonisa uMzantsi Afrika nobubele base-Afrika nobuntu ukutshintsha
kanye indlela ilizwe lethu kunye nelizwekazi lethu elibonwa ngayo ngabantu
behlabathi. Oko kuxhomekeke kuthi sonke, kwaye ngoko ngeke sifake xabiso!
Sikwathi halala kumaqela ethu ezemidlalo aye aligcina iphupha loMzantsi
Afrika lokufuna ukugqwesa kunyaka ophelileyo. Imbeko yethu ekhethekileyo iya
kwiqela lethu lekhrikethi elinyuke laya kuma emanqwanqweni aphezulu
ehlabathi.
Ngokwenene siziiNtshatsheli zeNdebe yeBhola yoMbhoxo yeHlabathi; u-Giniel de
Villiers neqela lakhe baphumelele i-Dakar Rally; Abadlali bethu
abakhubazekileyo baqhubile ukusenza sibe nebhongo, kwaye iqela lethu lebhola
ekhatywayo labaminyaka ingama-20 baqhube kakuhle kwimidlalo ebinokhuphiswano
ngokugqithisileyo.
Nkosikazi Somlomo noSihlalo oBekekileyo;
Kwiiveki nje ezimbini eziphelileyo, uMzantsi Afrika ugqibezele neMali uvimba
wokulondoloza imibhalo-ngqangi yakudala ye-Timbuktu.
Le ndyebo ityebe kangaka ikhomba e-Afrika njengemqondiso wezenzululwazi

zokuqinisekisa ukuba i-Afrika ivuselelwa ngendlela yokuba ibe yintoni kanye
ekufuneka kusetyenzwe ngayo kwiNkulungwane ye-Afrika. Kancinane kodwa

ngokutsha, kunye nomdla wabantu balo unyuka usiya phezulu kwii-ajenda

Ubambiswano olusanda kwenziwe kutsha nje phakathi kweenkokheli zase-DRC
nase-Rwanda lunika ithemba lenkqubela kwimiba yokhuselo kunye nasekusebenzeni
ngeentlekele ezijongene noluntu; kodwa, ngethemba, kwakhona ngokuphathelene

eQhelekileyo yaseMpuma kunye nakumaZantsi e-Afrika kunye noluNtu lwe-Afrika
eseMpuma. La maphulo ayakuqalelwa ukwandisa kunokuba enze buthathaka iseti
enzulu yonxulumano esilonwabelayo kunye neManyano yokuziPhatha yamaZantsi
e-Afrika.
Ngeli thuba sinqwenela ukuthi halala kubantu kunye neenkokheli zase-Zambia,
Ghana naseMelika ngonyulo olube yimpumelelo kakhulu olude lwavala nemida
emnxinwa kumazwe abo.
Siyakuhlala sifuna ukuyandisa intsebenziswano nalamazwe kunye namanye amazwe
kuba silandela okulungileyo eluntwini.
Sinelungelo elikhethekileyo lokuba kulo nyaka sibe sigqiba ishumi leminyaka
lokuqala lobudlelwane bethu bezozakuzo kunye ne-Peoples Republic of China.

nezobundlobongela. Kwaye siyathemba ukuba ngoku, iinzame ezivuselelweyo zoluntu
lwamazwe ngamazwe zokuza nesisombululo esiya kuhlala ixesha elide ziya kuba
neziqhamo kwesi sihlandlo, ukuze amaSirayeli namaPalestina abe noxolo

Siye sanako kunyaka ophelileyo ukugqibezela uthetha-thethwano neManyano
yaseYurophu ngesicwangciso sobambiswano lwethu; siyathemba ke ukuba umoya
owenza oko kudibana uyakuhlala ukhona xa sigqibezela uthetha-thethwano
