Ubundlobongela obuchasene namanina omthonyama

Ubundlobongela obubhekiselwe kwabasetyhini bomthonyama benziwe ngokwesiqhelo kangangokuba sihleli kwinyani engathethwayo, efihlakeleyo yokuba eyethu imizimba ayiyoyethu. Ukuqala kwam ukukhumbula le nyaniso mhlawumbi malunga neminyaka emi-3 okanye emi-4 ubudala, ndaya kwiNkqubo ye-HeadStart kwilali ebizwa ngokuba yiPisinemo. Ndikhumbula ndixelelwa “ungavumeli mntu akuthabathe” njengesilumkiso kootishala bam xa bendikuhambo lwasendle. Ndikhumbula ndisoyika ukuba enyanisweni kukho umntu oza kuzama “ukundithabatha” kodwa andizange ndiyiqonde ukuba ithetha ukuthini na loo nto. Ndandisazi ukuba kufuneka ndibonakale kumgama ovela kutitshala wam nokuba mna, njengomntwana oneminyaka emi-3 okanye emi-4 ubudala emva koko ndaye ndazi ngesiquphe kakhulu indawo endingqongileyo. Ndiyaqonda ngoku ukuba ndimdala, lo monzakalo wadluliselwa kum, kwaye ndawudlulisela kubantwana bam. Intombi yam endala kunye nonyana wam bobabini bayakhumbula ngokuyalelwa ndim “ungavumeli mntu akuthabathe” njengokuba bebehamba ndaweni ithile ndingekho mna. 

Ngokwembali ubundlobongela obujoliswe kubantu bomthonyama e-United States budale imeko yesiqhelo phakathi kwabantu abaninzi bezizwe ukuba xa ndacelwa ukuba ndibonelele ngokucokisekileyo kwabasetyhini abalahlekileyo nababuleweyo beMthonyama kunye namantombazana.  Kwasokola ukufumana amagama okuthetha malunga namava ethu okuphila ekwabelwana ngawo ahlala ebonakala ebuzwa. Xa ndisitsho Imizimba yethu asiyoyethu, Ndithetha ngale nto ngaphakathi kwimeko yembali. Urhulumente waseUnited States wavumela iinkqubo zeenkwenkwezi kwaye wajolisa abantu bomthonyama beli lizwe egameni "lenkqubela". Nokuba yayikukufudusa ngenkani abantu boMthonyama kumazwe abo besiwa kwiindawo ababehlala kuzo, okanye bekukubiwa kwabantwana kumakhaya abo ukuze bafakwe kwizikolo ezihlaliswayo kwilizwe lonke, okanye kunyanzeliswa inzala kwabasetyhini bethu kwiiNkonzo zezeMpilo zaseIndiya ukusuka ngo-1960 kuyo yonke iminyaka yama-80s. Abantu bomthonyama baye banyanzeleka ukuba baphile kwibali lobomi elizaliswe lugonyamelo kwaye amaxesha amaninzi livakala ngathi sikhala kwisithuba esingenamntu. Amabali ethu akabonakali kwabaninzi, amazwi ethu ahlala engaviwa.

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba kukho izizwe ezingama-574 eUnited States kwaye nganye yahlukile. E-Arizona kuphela kukho izizwe ezingama-22 ezahlukeneyo zezizwe, kubandakanywa ukutshintshwa kwezinye izizwe kulo lonke ilizwe elibiza iArizona likhaya. Ke ukuqokelelwa kwedatha yaBantu abalahlekileyo nababuleweyo baseMthonyama kunye naMantombazana ibingumngeni kwaye iphantse yaphantse ukuba akunakwenzeka. Siyasokola ukuchonga amanani okwenene abafazi neentombi zeMveli ezibuleweyo, ezidukileyo, okanye ezithathiweyo. Ingxaki yalo mbutho ikhokelwa ngabafazi bomthonyama, singoochwephesha bethu.

Kwezinye iindawo abantu basetyhini babulawa ngabantu abangengabo abomthonyama. Kwisizwe sam i-90% yamatyala abasetyhini ababulawayo, ayesisiphumo esithe ngqo sobundlobongela basekhaya kwaye oku kubonakaliswa kwinkqubo yethu yenkundla yezizwe. Malunga nama-90% amatyala enkundla axoxwa kwiinkundla zaMazwe ngaMazwe ngamatyala obundlobongela basekhaya. Isifundo ngasinye sinokwahluka ngokusekwe kwindawo yejografi, nangona kunjalo le yindlela ekhangeleka ngayo kwindawo endihlala kuyo. Kunyanzelekile ukuba amahlakani oluntu kunye namahlakani aqonde ukuba abaNtu abalahlekileyo nabaGciniweyo kunye namantombazana sisiphumo esithe ngqo sobundlobongela obujoliswe kwabasetyhini kunye namantombazana emveli. Iingcambu zolu bundlobongela zendele nzulu kwiinkqubo zeenkolelo zakudala ezifundisa izifundo ezifihlakeleyo malunga nokufaneleka kwemizimba yethu - izifundo ezinika imvume yokuba imizimba yethu ithathwe nokuba yeyiphi na indleko ngenxa yaso nasiphi na isizathu. 

Ndihlala ndixakwa kukungaxoxisi ngendlela esingathethi ngayo ngeendlela zokuthintela udushe lwasekhaya kodwa endaweni yoko sithetha ngendlela yokuchacha kufumaneke amanina neentombi zeMveli ezilahlekileyo nezibuleweyo.  Inyaniso kukuba zimbini iinkqubo zobulungisa. Evumela indoda ebityholwa ngokudlwengula, ukuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo, nokuxhaphaza ngokwesini, kuquka ukuncamisa ngaphandle kwemvumelwano kunye nokuphuthaphutha ubuncinane amabhinqa angama-26 ukususela ngeminyaka yee-1970 ukuba ibe nguMongameli wama-45 waseUnited States. Le nkqubo ifana naleyo yayiza kumisela imithetho yokuhlonipha amadoda adlwengule amabhinqa awayewakhobokisa. Kwaye ke kukho inkqubo yobulungisa yethu; apho ubundlobongela obunxamnye nemizimba yethu kunye nokuthatha imizimba yethu kutsha nje kwaye kuyakhanya. Ndiyabulela, ndinguye.  

NgoNovemba wonyaka ophelileyo ulawulo lukaTrump lutyikitye i-Executive Order 13898, lwenza iTask Force on Missing and Murdered American Indian and Alaskan Natives, ekwaziwa ngokuba yi "Operation Lady Justice", eya kubonelela ngesakhono esingaphezulu sokuvula amatyala amaninzi (amatyala angasonjululwanga kwaye abandayo. ) yabafazi bomthonyama abalathisa ulwabiwo lwemali eyongezelelekileyo kwiSebe lezoBulungisa. Nangona kunjalo, akukho mithetho yongezelelweyo okanye igunya eliza kunye ne-Operation Lady Justice. Lo myalelo uthe cwaka ujongana nokusilela kwesenzo kunye nokubekwa phambili kokusombulula amatyala abandayo kwiLizwe laseIndiya ngaphandle kokuvuma umonakalo omkhulu kunye nonxunguphalo oluthe iintsapho ezininzi zibandezelekile ixesha elide. Kufuneka sijongane nendlela imigaqo-nkqubo yethu kunye nokunqongophala kokubaluleka kwezixhobo kuvumela ukuba kuthule kwaye kucinywe uninzi lwabasetyhini kunye naMantombazana omthonyama abalahlekileyo nababuleweyo.

Ngomhla we-10 ku-Okthobha uMthetho we-Savanna kunye noMthetho ongabonakaliyo zatyikitywa zibe ngumthetho. Umthetho we-Savanna uza kudala imigaqo emiselweyo yokuphendula kumatyala abantu bomthonyama baseMelika abalahlekileyo nababuleweyo, ngokubonisana nezizwe, eziya kubandakanya isikhokelo malunga nentsebenziswano phakathi kwezizwe, imbumba, urhulumente kunye nomthetho wendawo. I-Not Invisible Act iya kubonelela ngamathuba kwizizwe ukuba zifune iinzame zokuthintela, izibonelelo kunye neenkqubo ezinxulumene nokulahleka (ithathiwe) nokubulawa kwabantu bomthonyama.

Ukusukela namhlanje, uMthetho woBundlobongela obuChasene namaKhosikazi awukapasiswa kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu. UMthetho woBundlobongela obuChasene nabaseTyhini ngumthetho obonelela ngesambuku seenkonzo kunye nokhuseleko kwabasetyhini kunye nabasetyhini abangabhalwanga phantsi. Ngumthetho owasivumela ukuba sikholwe kwaye sicinge into eyahlukileyo kuluntu lwethu oluntyumpantyumpeka kubundlobongela. 

Ukucwangcisa la matyala kunye nemithetho kunye nemiyalelo yesigqeba ngumsebenzi obalulekileyo onike ukukhanya kwimiba emikhulu, kodwa ndipaka kufuphi nendawo yokuphuma yeigaraji ezigqunyiweyo kunye nezinyuko. Ndisenexhala lamantombazana am ahamba yedwa ukuya edolophini. Xa kucelomngeni ubudoda obunetyhefu kunye nemvume kwindawo endihlala kuyo kwathatha incoko kunye noMqeqeshi weBhola weSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo ukuba avume ukuvumela iqela lakhe lebhola ekhatywayo ukuba lithathe inxaxheba kwiinzame zethu zokudala incoko kuluntu lwethu malunga nefuthe lobundlobongela. Izizwe zezizwe zingaphumelela xa zinikwe ithuba namandla ngendlela ezizibona ngayo. Emveni kwakho konke, siselapha.
