Uhlalutyo Olunzulu lweMingeni yoBonelelo ngoMbane yaseMzantsi Afrika

Emva kokuphindaphindwa komyinge wombane eMzantsi Afrika, uChris Yelland, umntu obalaseleyo kwicandelo lezamandla, uvakalise inkxalabo ngomhla woku-1 kuDisemba, egxininisa ukuba “ingxaki yokubonelelwa kombane” kweli lizwe isekude ukuba ibe sisicombululo esikhawulezileyo. Inkqubo yamandla yaseMzantsi Afrika, ephawulwa kukungaphumeleli okuphindaphindiweyo kwejenereyitha kunye neemeko ezingalindelekanga, iyaqhubeka ukulwa nokungaqiniseki okubonakalayo.

Kule veki, u-Eskom, iziko likarhulumente loMzantsi Afrika, ubhengeze omnye umjikelo womlinganiselo ophakamileyo wombane kwilizwe lonke ngenxa yokusilela kwejenereyitha kaninzi kunye nobushushu obugqithisileyo ngoNovemba. Oku kuguqulela kumndilili wokumka kombane mihla le ukuya kutsho kwiiyure ezisi-8 kubemi baseMzantsi Afrika. Ngaphandle kwezithembiso ezivela kumbutho olawulayo we-African National Congress ngoMeyi zokuphelisa ukucinywa kombane ngo-2023, injongo isenzima.

I-Yelland iphonononga kwimbali ende kunye nezizathu ezintsonkothileyo zemingeni yombane yaseMzantsi Afrika, igxininisa ubunzima bayo kunye nobunzima obulandelayo ekuphumezeni izisombululo ezikhawulezayo. Njengoko iiholide zeKrisimesi noNyaka oMtsha zisondela, inkqubo yombane yaseMzantsi Afrika ijongene nokungaqiniseki okumandla, nto leyo eyenza ukuba uqikelelo oluchanekileyo malunga necala lobonelelo lombane lwesizwe lube ngumngeni.

“Sibona uhlengahlengiso kwinqanaba lokucinywa kukagesi yonke imihla-kwenziwa izaziso zaza zahlaziywa ngosuku olulandelayo,” utshilo uYelland. Amazinga aphezulu narhoqo wokungaphumeleli kweeseti zejenereyitha adlala indima ebalulekileyo, ebangela ukuphazamiseka kwaye athintele ukubuyisela inkqubo kwimeko yesiqhelo. Oku “kusilela kungacwangciswanga” kubeka umqobo omkhulu ekusebenzeni kuka-Eskom, kubathintele amandla abo okumisela ukuqhubeka.

Ngenxa yokungaqiniseki okumandla kwinkqubo yamandla yaseMzantsi Afrika kunye nendima yayo engundoqo kuphuhliso loqoqosho, ukuqikelela ukuba ilizwe liya kubuyela nini ngokupheleleyo ngokwezoqoqosho kuhlala kungumngeni omkhulu.

Ukusukela ngo-2023, umba womlinganiselo wombane eMzantsi Afrika uye waqina, uchaphazela kakhulu imveliso yasekhaya kunye nobomi bemihla ngemihla babemi. NgoMatshi walo nyaka, urhulumente woMzantsi Afrika wabhengeza “ilizwe lentlekele lelizwe” ngenxa yezithintelo eziqatha zombane.

Njengoko uMzantsi Afrika ujongana nemingeni entsonkothileyo yobonelelo lombane, indlela eya ekuvuseleleni uqoqosho ihleli ingaqinisekanga. Ukuqonda kukaChris Yelland kuqaqambisa imfuneko ecinezelayo yezicwangciso eziliqili zokujongana nezona zizathu ziphambili kunye nokuqinisekisa inkqubo yombane ekwaziyo ukumelana nekamva lesizwe.
