EGWEGWE: EMTHATHA : 4 April 2009

Ndinovuyo ukuba lapha kunye nani eMpuma-Koloni.  Sihlangana ezivekini angaphantsi kwamathathu kufike unyulo luzayo, unyulo oluvundlisayo kwimbali yelizwe lethu.

Nangona ingelosuku lokuqala ukuza kwam eMpuma-Koloni, ndibona luyeyona lubalulekileyo ekuzeni kwam apha.  Nangona ndingaqalanga ukufunda nge-ANC apha, kodwa ku apha eMpumalanga-Koloni apho ndafumana khona ithikithi lobulungu bMbutho Wolutsha We-ANC.

Azange kwishumi elinesihlanu yeminyaka ye nkululeko ugqatso luphezulu kangaka.  Akuzange kubekhona elithuba lokukhupha lorhulumente ohlulekileyo nodiniweyo kukulawula esikhundleni.  Akuzange ngaphambili kubeneqela lezopolitiko eliphikisayo libe nethuba lokubhala ngokutsha ipolitiki yelizwe.  Asoze siliyeke eli thuba lityibilike eminweni yethu.

Ixesha lifikile lokwakha isininzi esitsha kwezopolitiko zotshintsho.

IMpuma-Koloni ibotshelelwe ngumzabalazo wenkululeko yaseMzantsi Afrika.

Ukubuyela kwam apha kukubuyela kwindawo zengqokelela yobomi bam, apho ndafikelela ebudaleni bam.  Ndandineminyaka eyishumi elinethoba ngexesha ndiphumelela ezifundweni zam eziyintloko kwisidanga, ku-History ne-Bantu Administration, eYunivesithh yase Fort Hare.

Ndifunde phantsi ko Professor ZK Matthews, ngeloxesha eyiNtloko ye Cape Province ye ANC.  Ndaba lilungu lolutsha lwe ANC.  Ngeloxesha intanga yam  eyayifunde kakhulu neyayikhaliphile, u Robert Sobukwe, waye nguSihlalo woMbutho Wolutsha we ANC kusebe lase Fort Hare elalinamandla efuthe kumgaqo nkqubo we ANC ilizwe liphela.  Ngeloxesha igqwetha elincinci ogama lingu Nelson Mandela ayenguNobhala we ANC. Ndajoyina i ANC Youth League khona apho nangokho. 

Umalume wam, u Dr Pixley ka Isaka Seme, ongumsunguli we ANC, wabhala incwadi ebhalela u Professor ZK Matthews mhla ndandisohlwaywa e University ngokudlala indima kwi ANC Youth League yokubhikishela uLusibalukhulu waseMzantsi Afrika, uMnu G Brand van Zyl. Ndangenela ezinye izifundo e Yunivesithi yase Natala emva kokugxothwa kwam e Fort

Hare.  U Dr Edgar Brookes   wacenga abasemagunyeni e Fort Hare okokuba

bandivumele ndibhale iimviwo zam e Durban, e Yunivesithi yase Natala.

Ngoba ndandohlwaywe e Fort Hare, mhla ndandibekwa njengeNkosi yakwa Buthelezi ngo 1953, uMbuso wase Pitoli wathi ndiseliBambela-Nkosi.

Ngomhlaka 06 ku September 1957, ndaphinda ndabuyiselwa njengeNkosi yakwa Buthelezi.  Inkosi Albert Luthuli nezinye iinkokheli ze ANC Bandicenga Bendibongoza Besithi bandithathe ubukhosi.  Bebesithi oko kwakuzonceda iimfuneko zomzabalazo wenkululeko sasiphezu kwawo wokukhulula elilizwe.

Ngonyaka ka 1972, ngokukhuthazwa ngu Mnu Oliver Tambo kunye neNkosi uLuthuli, ndiye ndaba ngu Chief Executive Officer ye Zulu Territorial Authority ndabuye ndaba nguChief Minister kaRhulumente waKwaZulu.

Ndithintele uzimele-geqe ongafunekiyo kwelilizwe ngoba izicwangciso zorhulumente wengcinezelo ibizezokwenza abantu abamnyama babe abantu basemzini elizweni labo xa bemamkele uzimele-geqe ngonyanzelwa yi Pitoli.   Kwakukho lemeko eyintlekisa apho abantu abamnyama bebephatha iipassport apho kungekho lizwe bangaya kulo ngaphandle kweli.  Abanntu abaninzi  beza kum bezocela ndingqine ukuba basuka Kwazulu ukwenzela bakwazi ukufumana iPassport yaseMzantsi Afrika yokomthetho yokundwendwela kwamanye amazwe.

Emva kokuba ndifune imibono kaMnu Oliver Tambo, uBishop Alphaeus Zulu kunye no Mongameli u Kenneth Kaunda waseZambia, siye sasungula umbutho oqinileyo ozinze kubantu abamnyama, Inkatha Yenkululeko Yesizwe.  Ngo August 1976 ndaye ndabizwa ngu Jimmy Kruger owayenguMphathiswa Wezobulungisa, owathi uzakuyinqumamisa Inkatha okokuba ubulungu bethu asibugcinisi emaZulwini. UlowaMphathiswa ayekhohlakeleyo owaphinde wathi ukufa kuka Steve Biko kwakungamchukumisi!  Ndala ukukwenza oko.  Inkatha isoloko ilikhaya kubantu bonke boMzantsi Afrika.  Ukungachasi mntu ibekuko okuchasene nobuhlanga futhi Inkatha ibi phambili kwixesha layo.

Kwesisiphambuko, mandiphinde isicelo sam esithi asibuyeli kwizinto ezindala zobuhlanga. Kuye kwabakhona ingxoxo-mpikiswano ngobuhlanga .Amazulu ejongene namaxhosa, ayiloxesha na ngoku Ndiyabuza ukuthi thina emagameni ka Saint Paul." Beka izinto zobuntwana phaya. Akulunganga ukuba u Mr Zuma ngumzulu okanye aba athathe iintambo kubo ibingamaxhosa abavela kweliPhondo. Kwicala lokhuphiswano ngemibono nemigaqo nangobuhlanga ayingeni ndawo.Yimigaqo nengcinga ezifezekileyo esizifunayo.

Ubuhlanga bukude engqondweni yam. Mhla kwintlanganiso yam yokuqala no Mphathiswa u BJ Vorster. Ndimnyanzele okokuba akhulule u Nelson Mandela aphakamise uvalo-mlomo kwi ANC neminye imibutho evalwe imilomo.Kwi Rally zam ezininzi ndiphawule imibhalo ka Mr Mandela ethi No easy Way To Freedom. Umzabalazo esawulwa bowumde kunanamhlanje awukafezekiseki.

Sisaphumelele isigaba sokuqala kulenkululeko.

Inkatha ilangazelela ukukhokhela u Mzantsi Afrika kwi sihlandlo sesibini salenkululeko sishumayeza impumelelo ebantwini bethu .Kwesisihlandlo sesibini inkululeko yezoqoqosho kufanele ilandele inkululeko yezopolitiko. Ndichaza ukuthini xa ndithetha ngenkululeko yezoqoqosho?

Naphi apho ndihamba khona Emzantsi afrika,abantu inkululeko yezoqoqosho abayazi okokuba ithini kubo.Umyalezo usoloko umnye. Abathethi ngentlanganiso imbizo targets and task teams. Isizathu sesokuba ntsuku zonke ubunyani besininzi sabemi basemzantsi bubukho bentlupheko.Ezinye zezinto zentlupheko zifumaneka apha kweliphondo nakwa KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo nakuwo onke amaphondo anabantu abantsundu.

Abantu base Mzantsi afrika bafuna amanzi.Sifuna Umbane. Sifuna abazisa iinkozo zophuhliso bakwenze oko ngentlonipho nanjengoko bebengenza kumntu karhulumente.Sifuna ukufikelela kwezempilo.Sifuna ukufikelela kwi anti-retroviral drug namayeza. Sifuna izithuthi ezifikelelekayo nezikhuselekileyo.Thina Bantu sifuna umthetho uthe ngqo.

Sifuna izitalato ezikhuselekileyo.Sifuna amapolisa asekuhlaleni akhutheleyo.

Abantu bethu bafuna imisebenzi.Abantu bethu bafuna imfundo ephucukileyo yabantwana bethu.Abantu bethu bafuna ingomso nentsapho zabo.nangona kunjalo abntu bafuna urhulumente ozakwanelisa imfuno zabo.I IFP eburhulumenteni KwaZulu-Natal ibonakalisile okokuba izakuthatha izigqibo ezinzima futhi asoze soyike ukwenza njalo.

Ngo 2002, IFP yayalela owayefudula eyi nkulumbuso yakwa Zulu-Natal u Dr LPHM Mtshali okokuba akhuphe I anti retroviral drugs ukukhusela intsholongwana kagawulayo ingasuki kunina iye emtwaneni.Siyenzile ngesizathu esilula yayiyinto efanelekileyo ukwenziwa.Yiyolent sithi sesizanyiwe zavavanywa.

Izakwenzantoni IFP ukuba iyaluphumelela unyulo Empumakoloni? Inkatha izakuphuhlisa amanyathelo amafutshane ukuphuhlisa impilo zamahlwempu kulungiswe iindlela,amanzi,amandla nezococeko nemali yabantwana izakunyuswa,amaxhego namaxhegwazana imizi ephantsi kwabantwana kunye neenkedama kulungiswe nendima yezibhedlele ibe bhetele.Urhulumente kuneka afune indlela ekhawulezileyo yokuzisa iinkonzo ebantwini.

Ekuhambeni kwethuba IFP ifuna ukuxhobisa amahlempu ngezixhobo zokusenza ukuze bakwazi ukuziphilisa. Baqhubeke nemfundo baqhube nokutya okulinyiweyo oomasipala badlale indima ekuncediseni abantu kwizinto abangakwazi ukuzenza.

Ngaphezukonke oko emva kokuba sesifumene seva kurhulumente sifuna ukukhuthaza abantu ukuba bakwazi nabo ukuzinceda.Singumbotho okholelwa okokuba umntu bakakwazi ukuziphilisa.Bendikwisigqeba esiphezulu iminyaka elishumi. Ndisebenze no Princess Stella Sigcau.Sobabini sizamile ukuzivakalisa koogxa bethu ngokubaluleka ukubakhona kwezoqoqosho sizakunceda iilali ezi sivela kuzo phambi ko 1994.Sizakuthi ke sikhuthaze ukuncedisana ebantwini bethu ezilalini bavakalise indima yokuzigada bona.Abantu bethu kweli phondo nakwezinye iinkalo bayakwazi ukuzondla ehlotyeni.Banikwe uncedo kwicala le Mbewu,fertilizer tractors balime wonke umhlaba olele nje logama abantu bakuthi belulawa yindlala.

Kodwa ekugqibeleni asoze siyilwe impi yendlala ngokwabela nge pie ebonakalayo ngengabonakaliyo.

Akufuneki sime ngokucinga ngengomso.njengesizwe ngelinye ixesha ndiye ndicinga ukuba senimile ukucinga ngengomso. Eyona investment umzali angayenza isemfundweni yomntwana wakhe.I OBE ayisebenzi ngendlela ebizakusebenza ngayo.

Kanye hayi kabini kwisizukulwana ngasinye kunotshintsho kumhlaba wezopolitiko.Amaza ayaguquka ngakwi ANC. Umbuzo uthi Ngowuphi umbutho ozakuxhamla apha.Ingaba ukunganeliseki kwabavoti ngombutho olawulayo kuguqula inxaso yemibutho ephikisayo? Okanye abavoti bangama qelele?

Ndiyakholwa ukuba abantu basemzantsi afrika balulambele utshintsho.i IEC ikhuphe ingxelo ethi igenge entsha iphuma ngobuninzi bayo ekubhaliseni uvoto. Ubuchule kukuba umbutho ophikisayo uyayikhuthaza legenge iyokuvota ngomhlaka 22 April.

Ndima phambi kwenu namhlanje njengokuthanda uhlanga ndithanda elilizwe ngaphaya kwamagama.Yithi ndithethe okusuka entliziyweni.Ndinethamsanqa lokukhokhela ubomi obutyebileyo,nomda,kodwa andizange ndibe semdleni kangaka nangeyure yobumnyama kurhulumente wengcinezelo indlela eyaphambili ibonakala iguquguquka. Namhlanje ubuchule buthe qelele kude.Ibhayibhile isixelela ukuba ngaphandle kombono abantu bayatshabalala xa ndiyiqwalasela lemiyalezo echazwe kogxa bethu kwezopolitiko,Ndiyazibuza Uphi lombono? Liphi elithemba litsha? Siphi esisithembiso sengomso?

Ngubani ozakumela Umzantsi Afrika kwelixesha elinje? Ngoobani iimboni ezizakusikhokhela kulombono.Ingaba abezopolitiko nemvelaphi yabo baselubhangisweni? Ingaba bayakhuthaza kodwa bengabonakali ncam ukuzinza? Ingaba inenkcaza yobuhlanga yoshishino?Okanye yinto lento egwagwisayo engenanto eyaneleyo?

Ngubani ozakukhokhela ilizwe lethu kulengxuba kaxaka yamahlandinyuka yobomi bezopolitiko? Ngubani ozakunika indlela eyiyo? Ngubani ozakuthi xa into ingeyiyo athi asiyiyo? Ngubani ozakunikela ngelizwi lakhe elinokuvakala?  

Ndiyaphinda futhi,I IFP ibizelwe ukuzokunika ukukhokhela okukuko kwilizwe elingafumani lukhokhelo olufanelekileyo.Umyalezo endiza nawo ebantwini beliphondo ndithi sikulungele ukuphatha.

Kubalulekile okokuba siyayiqinisekisa intembeko negunya lwezindlu zowiso-mthetho ezinikwe umsebenzi  wokufuna ingqwalasela eburhulumenteni Ndinesiqiniseko sokuba sonke saye sothuka mhla kwayekiswa oonomadudwane mhla ezobulungisa zazilungiswa kunye neofisi yentloko eyayiphethwe.Kunento ekhulayo ethi akukho nto engcwele kungekho nanto engamisa intando yabambalwa.

Kodwa kolulawulo-mmelo yintando yesininzi ezakoyisa.Ndizibuza ukuba nangona ezinye zowiso-mthetho ezagqithiswa epalamente ingabe zibonisa intando yabantu? Ngokucacileyo intando yabantu.ngokucacileyo benikwe ithuba. Abahlali basemzantsi Africa bangaba sebezakhile izindlu bakhuthaze amapolisa aqeshwe ngabahlali kunokuthenga ii nkwili. Zininzi ezinye izinto emva kwezindlu zowiso-mthetho.ndiye bona sengathi abenzi bomthetho bayoyisakala ukuthetha ulwimi olufanayo nendoda esesitalatweni.

Amandla amaninzi asetyenziswe kakhulu ekunyamezeleni ubuqhophololo kurhulumente,kodwa sisalinde ubungqina obuphumeleleyo.

Ndikuvile ukucikideka,ukungabinamonde,ukungxama kunye nomsindo nokumosha iimpilo zabantu zingazalisekanga,amabhongo namathemba awaphumelelanga amaphupho awafezekanga.

Logama kunomntwana omnye ohleli ekuhluphekeni emzantsi afrika namhlanje.Umntu opensheleyo osentluphekweni,umntu omnye walelwa ithuba lobomi,ukhona umbotho omnye ongasoze uphumle asoze ufeze nto, akukho ngqondo epasayo kude nabo bakhululeke. Lombutho yi IFP.

Ndithemba ndiqiniseke ukba I IFP ongowona mbutho uuphikisayo onabalandeli abaninzi one record elihle eburhulumenteni unaso isakhono eside sokuphatha lorhulumente.

Kufanele siqhubele phambili siphucule ukwakhiwa kwezikolo kunye namagumbi okufundela iilaboratories, libraries kwenzele abantwana jikelele basemzantsi afrika bakwazi ukub sezingeni elinye nabantwana abase Biejing nase Bangalore for high tech jobs zexesha elizayo.Iphupho lami lelokuba yonke intombazana nenkwenkwe noba imvelaphi yakhe ithini uyalifumana ithuba lokuya apho Uthixo afuna aye khona ngesakhono sakhe.

Asikaliphumeleli idabi likagawulayo.Urhulumente ozayo kufanele avelise ichiza asebenze ngalo hayi ngaphandle kwe NGO's netrade unions,universities,philantrophic and faith based organisations..

Sinabantu abazimiseleyo yaye sifuna urhulumente asibonise uthando lwakhe olungenza ksebenze oko.

Isicelo sam kuni namhlanje ukuthi nivotele umbutho ozanywe wacikidwa I IFP.  Asizincome ngelithi singobani kodwaa ngalento esiyiyo.  Siyazidla ngobuntu bethu futhi siyazingca ngoba siphuma phantsi kwelizwe eneflag enye.Sime njengomlobi e Port st Johns. Unokhitshi emthatha,umnikazi venkile e Chatsworth imanager e Sandton. Simele abafuni-msebenzi, abafundi nabazali. Simele abantu bokholo nabangento.

Esikucelayo nje lithuba lokulawula.sikholelwa ekubeni ivalues zethu ze solidarity,inkululeko nomanyano nemithetho nemigaqo yethu ngokukhokhela okuqinileyo.

Ivoti ngalinye liyabalwa asithathi nevoti elinye kancinci.Ndicela kuninonke nidlulise lomyalezi kwi family zenu,kwindawo enisebenza kuzo nase zilalini

Ndifuna ukunibulela ngokundamkela kwenu nokundilungiselela ekundipheni iindlebe ngokumamela umyalezo wam namhlanje

UThixo anisikelele, Yanga uThixo angasisikelela sonke apha Emzantsi Afrika.

Nkosi Sikelela i Afrika.
