Ingaba Siliphondo leMpuma Koloni siyazihlonipha na iinkqubo zethu zesintu okanye Asinamqolo?
Kuthiwa kukho “ukumkani” ophuma kuluntu lwaseNigeria ogcotyiweyo e East London kutshanje… kodwa umbuzo uthi: ngubani ogunyazisayo oku, kwaye kutheni kusenzeka apha kuthi?
Kwangaxeshanye, amazwi ka Jacinta Mangobese Zuma no NkosikhonaPhakelumthakathi abathetha besuka e KwaZulu-Natal agxeka le meko, aphakamisa imibuzo enzima malunga nokungena kwabantu ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nokuhlonitshwa kwemithetho yesintu.
Kodwa kutheni i Eastern Cape House of Traditional Leaders ithule de kudlule iintsuku ezininzi ngaphambi kokuba ikhuphe ingxelo? 🤔
👉 Ingaba siyamkela na ukuba iinkqubo zobukhosi zibe yinto engenamida?
👉 Okanye kukho into esiyilahlayo njengabantu bephondo?
👉 Ingaba le yinkcubeko, okanye kukungahoyi imithetho yethu?
Masithethe ke bantu basePhondweni🇿🇦
Nicinga ntoni ngale nto? Iyavakala okanye iyaphazamisa?
💬 Phawula ngezantsi, kodwa masigcine ingxoxo inentlonipho—kodwa inyani mayithethwe!

ICOFIMVABA – IMBALI EFIHLIWEYO YASETRANSKEI
Kutshanje kubekho incoko enomdla phakathi kwabahlobo ababefunda kunye kudala kwisikolo samabanga aphantsi eCofimvaba. Njengoko abantu bekhula, baqala ukubona izinto ababengaziboni besebancinci.
Kwincoko yabo bakhumbule indlela abakhulele kuyo kufuphi neendawo ezibalulekileyo kwimbali yesizwe bengayiqondi loo nto ngelo xesha. Omnye wabo uthe xa ejonga imephu namhlanje uyabona ukuba iCofimvaba kunye nommandla ojikelezileyo unxulumene kakhulu nembali yabantu ababalulekileyo kweli lizwe.
Bakhankanye ukuba kufuphi nalapho babekhulela khona kwakukho indawo enxulumene nosapho luka Nelson Mandela (uMadiba). Into emangalisayo kukuba ngelo xesha babengayazi ngokupheleleyo le nto, kuba abantu abaninzi babeyazi loo ndawo ngegama leshishini elalirenta apho, "KwaMaliyavuza", hayi ngembali yayo yokwenene.
Incoko yabo iphinde yakhumbuza abantu ukuba ummandla waseTranskei uvelise iinkokeli ezininzi ezibalulekileyo kumzabalazo wenkululeko, kuquka Chris Hani.
Le ncoko ibonisa into ebalulekileyo: ngamanye amaxesha sikhulela kwiindawo ezityebileyo ngembali kodwa singayiqondi de sikhule. Iindawo esizibona njengesiqhelo zinokuba zizikhumbuzo eziphilayo zembali yesizwe.
Mhlawumbi lixesha lokuba abantu basekuhlaleni baqale baxoxe ngakumbi, bafunde ngakumbi, baze bakhusele imbali efihliweyo yaseTranskei ukuze izizukulwana ezizayo zikwazi ukuyazi nokuyixabisa.
