“Akuqashwe intsha ngobuningi ukuze kuqandwe ubugebengu eMzansi” Mkhwanazi

UMkhwanazi ucela uhulumeni ukuba wenze indlela yokuqasha ngobuningi intsha engasebenzi. Njengoba ukungasebenzi kuqhubeka nokukhula ezweni laseNingizimu Afrika, uLt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi usecele uhulumeni ukuthi adale imisebenzi eminingi ngokwenza umsebenzi wengqalasizinda yomphakathi uqobo esikhundleni sokuwusebenzisa ngaphandle ngamathenda.

UMkhwanazi, ophinde aqondise iThimba Likazwelonke Lomsebenzi Wobugebengu Obuhleliwe, ubekhuluma eNgqungqutheleni Yephalamende mayelana Namaqembu Ezigelekeqe Nobugebengu Obunobudlova ngoLwesithathu. Uthe uhulumeni kufanele acabange kabusha ngendlela akhipha ngayo amathenda emisebenzi yomphakathi njengendlela yokudala amathuba emisebenzi.

“Namuhla, sibhekene nenkohlakalo kumathenda, futhi sizibuza umbuzo: ngaleli zinga eliphezulu lokungasebenzi, kungani uhulumeni ekhipha amathenda abantu bokwakha isikole?”

Inkohlakalo yamathenda idlangile eNingizimu Afrika, evame ukubandakanya ukuphathwa kabi kwezinqubo zokuthenga, amanani akhuphukile, ukungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo, kanye nokunikezwa kwezinkontileka zikahulumeni kubantu noma izinkampani ezixhumene nezepolitiki.

Lokhu kuholela ekutheni izimali zomphakathi ziphambukiswe ezinsizeni ezibalulekile kanye namaphrojekthi engqalasizinda. UMkhwanazi uthe abafundi abaphothule izifundo zabo abangasebenzi bangasetshenziswa ukuqondisa amaphrojekthi okwakha, kanti abantu abangenazo iziqu ezisemthethweni bangaqashwa kwezinye izikhundla, okuhlanganisa nabasebenza ngobuciko.

“Kukhona izingane ezenze ubunjiniyela. Zingaqapha ukwakhiwa kwesikole. Kukhona abantu abangenayo leyo mfundo abangaqashwa nguhulumeni ukuxuba usimende nokudonsa lezo zitini njengabasebenza ngobuciko.” Uthe le ndlela ingasetshenziswa ekwakhiweni kwezikole, imitholampilo, izibhedlela neziteshi zamaphoyisa, kanye nengqalasizinda yemigwaqo.

“Sinomgwaqo. Kepha sikhipha itenda uma siqasha ngisho nokucenta umgwaqo onamatshe njengohulumeni. Kungani uhulumeni enza lokho? Lokhu kukhipha umsebenzi ngaphandle yikho okudala lobu bugebengu.”

UMkhwanazi uthe ukungasebenzi kanye nokuntuleka kwamathuba anenjongo kudingeka kubhekwe njengengxenye yempendulo ebanzi ebudloveni bamaqembu ezigelekeqe kanye nobugebengu. Uhulumeni kudingeka abhekane nezimo eziyisisekelo ezibangele ubugebengu, kunokuthembela kuphela ekuphoqeleleni umthetho.
