UMasipala waseNelson Mandela Bay ubongoza abazali, amagcisa olwaluko neenkokeli zemveli ukuba baqinisekise ukuba iimfuno zokuthobela ziyaqukunjelwa kwangethuba ukulungiselela ixesha lolwaluko elizayo.
IXesha lolwaluko liza kuqala ngenyanga ngomhla weshumi elinesibini (12) ngenyanga yeSilimela 2025 kumakhwenkwe angafundiyo ze liqale ngomhla wamashumi amabini anesixhenxe (27). UMasipala, ebambisene neSebe leNtsebenziswano kuRhulumento neMicimbi yeMveli kunye neNelson Mandela Bay Traditional Initiation Forum, baphehlelele iinkqubo zokwazisa uluntu kumasipala ombaxa wonke.
Oku kujolise ekukhokeleni iintsapho kunye nabasebenzi ngokusebenzisa iinkqubo ezifunekayo zokuthobela. Ukuhlolwa kwezonyango kuya kufumaneka ukususela ekuqaleni kwexesha lokwaluka kwiqela ngalinye. Intloko yezopolitiko yezeMpilo yoLuntu uThsonono Buyeye uthe ukucwangcisa nokuthobela kubalulekile.
“Lonke ubhaliso oluyimfuneko kufuneka lugqitywe akukho kwaluka kuya kuvunyelwa ngaphandle kokuthotyelwa ngokupheleleyo eNelson Mandela Bay.”
Uthe iGqeberha iyazingca njengenye yeendawo ezikhuselekileyo eziqala ukhuseleko.
“Sisebenzisana nabazali kunye nabo bonke abachaphazelekayo, singathanda ukuqhubeka nokugcina imeko yethu yokuba yenye yezona ndawo zikhuselekileyo kunye noluntu ukuze senze eli siko libalulekileyo kwinkcubeko yethu.
“Kungesi sizathu silumkisa wonke umntu ukuba athobele umthetho,” utshilo uMMC Buyeye.
Ukuhlolwa kwezonyango kunyanzelekile ngaphambi kokuqaliswa ukuqinisekisa ukuba sempilweni. Abazali okanye abagcini babantwana kufuneka bavume, kwaye amakhwenkwe kufuneka anike imvume enolwazi ngokuthobela umthetho. Umthetho ukwaxhobisa abahloli bezempilo kunye namabhunga emveli ukuba abeke iliso kwizikolo zolwaluko.
Ukwaluka komntwana ongaphantsi kweminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu (16) (ngaphandle kwezizathu zonyango/zenkolo) ikwalulwaphulo-mthetho. Uthe ukuqhuba isikolo sokwaluka esingabhaliswanga okanye ukwenza iinkqubo ngokungakhuselekanga kunokukhokelela kwisohlwayo, ukuvalelwa entolongweni, okanye zombini.
“Ukufa okanye ukwenzakala ngenxa yolwaluko olungekho mthethweni kunokukhokelela kwizityholo ezi njengoku bulala ngokungena njongo.”
