I-African Transformation Movement (ATM) ivakalisa inkxaso yayo engagungqiyo kwisigwebo samva nje seNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseRhawutini, egwebe uPhethe Simiao ukuba agwetywe ubomi obuphindiweyo entolongweni ngenxa yolwaphulo-mthetho olubi lokudlwengula nokubulala uAmantle Samane oneminyaka emithandathu ubudala.
Esi sigwebo asimeli nje inyathelo elibalulekileyo elibhekiselele kubulungisa kusapho lukaAmantle’ kodwa sikwathumela umyalezo onamandla eluntwini malunga nesidingo esingxamisekileyo sokulwa ubhubhane wobundlobongela obujoliswe kwabasetyhini nabantwana kwiindawo esihlala kuzo.
Isigqibo senkundla sigxininisa ubuzaza bolwaphulo-mthetho obujoliswe kwawona malungu asemngciphekweni woluntu, ingakumbi abantwana. Njengoko kuchazwe nguJaji uWilliam Karam, inkohlakalo yezenzo zikaSimiao’ ibonisa inyaniso ephazamisayo ekufuneka iqwalaselwe ngokuzibophelela okungagungqiyo.
I-ATM imi ngokuqinileyo kwinkolelo yayo yokuba izenzo zobundlobongela ezinjena akufanele zinyamezelwe, kwaye abenzi bobubi kufuneka bajongane nobungakanani obupheleleyo bomthetho.
Ityala elibuhlungu likaAmantle Samane liqaqambisa imiba emininzi efanelekileyo ukuba ihoywe. Kule minyaka mithandathu idlulileyo, ngaphezulu kwe-106,000 yamatyala odlwengulo kunye nama-22,722 amatyala oxhatshazo ngokwesondo abandakanya abantwana axeliweyo, eveza ukuxhaphaka okothusayo kolu lwaphulo-mthetho.
Ngodlwengulo olubalelwa kwi-38.3% yazo zonke izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ezijoliswe ebantwaneni kwilizwe lonke ngo-2022/2023, kucacile ukuba sijongene nengxaki efuna inyathelo elikhawulezileyo. I-ATM ibongoza urhulumente ukuba akhokele kwaye uluntu lumanyane ukudala indawo ekhuselekileyo apho abantwana banokudlala kwaye baphumelele ngaphandle koloyiko.
Ukongezelela, eli tyala liphakamisa imibuzo ngemibandela esisiseko ekhokelela abantu ukuba benze ezi zenzo zingathethekiyo. Kubalulekile ukubandakanyeka kwiingxoxo malunga nempilo yengqondo, ukusetyenziswa kakubi kweziyobisi, kunye neemeko zentlalo ezinegalelo kubundlobongela. Ukuqonda ezi zinto kunokwazisa izicwangciso zokuthintela kunye neenzame zokubuyisela kwisimo sangaphambili, siqinisekisa ukuba sijongana noonobangela bokuziphatha okunjalo.
I-ATM ibongoza bonke abemi boMzantsi Afrika ukuba bacinge ngezifundo zesi siganeko sibi kwaye bathathe amanyathelo aqinisekileyo ngokuchasene nobundlobongela obuthwaxa isizwe sethu. Kufuneka sithethelele isicwangciso esibanzi sokhuseleko lwabantwana, sakhe intsebenziswano neeNGO, kwaye siphuhlise isicwangciso samacandelo ohlukeneyo ukukhuthaza ukhuseleko lwabantwana baseMzantsi Afrika.
