“Andizange ndayazi kwa into yokuba loo nkululeko yobuqu ikhona, kuba zange ndayingcamla ngaphambili …”
ULiselotte Voets, ngumfundi waseBelgium ofunda kweli evela eKU Leuven (iYunivesithi yamaKatolika yaseLeuven) owatyelela iSU kunyaka ophelileyo njengenxalenye yokufundela kwakhe isidanga seemastazi kwifilosofi, wangena kwikhosi yesiAfrikaans yabafundi abathetha isiDatshi kwiZiko loLwimi ngoxa wayeseMzantsi Afrika.
Ngelokubhiyozela uSuku lweNkululeko nge27 Epreli, uye wabelana nathi ngeengcamango zakhe ngenkululeko, ngesiAfrikaans, kodwa ziguqulelwe esiXhoseni apha ngezantsi.
Utyelelo lwam lokuza kufunda kweli lizwe lweenyanga ezintlanu ezinesiqingatha lwaqala eStellenbosch ngoFebhruwari 2022. Yasuka yazenzekela into yokuba ndikhethe uMzantsi Afrika: iinkcubeko, abantu: ukuma kwayo, imbali, iintaba nemozulu zaba nomtsalane kum. Zonke ezi zinto zavela zandichukumisa kakhulu. Esinye isiphumo endandingasilindelanga ngolu tyelelo lwam, yindlela entsha endisele ndiyijonga ngayo ingcamango yenkululeko. Ukuba bekunokufuneka ndichaze ngokusuk’ entliziyweni amava am ngoMzantsi Afrika, bendiya kuqala ndithethe ngobume bomhlaba. Ngokolwam uluvo, ukuphangalala kweli lizwe kumela ngendlela efuzisela kakhulu oko kuthethwa yinkululeko eMzantsi Afrika. Ziseninzi kakhulu iindawo ezingenabantu ezinokugcwaliswa. Amathuba abonakala engapheli. Xa uyithelekisa neBelgium, endisuka kuyo, uya kufumanisa ukuba iBelgium ayisenandawo yokwakha. Kunzima kakhulu ukufumana umhlaba wokwakha, apho unokuma ujonge elundini phaya; indawo engenazindonga, engenazindlu, izitrato, iidolophu nezixeko.
Iba ngathi ugadiwe – rhoqo yonke indawo – akunakuya ndawo khe ubukele indalo.”
Njengokuba ndibuyele eBelgium, kunzima nangakumbi ukuhlala apha, kwaye ndiwukhumbula nyhani uMzantsi Afrika. Kambe ke, eBelgium (siziva) sikhuseleke yaye sinqabiseke ngakumbi. Kufuneka siyihlawulele ngenkululeko yethu yobuqu. Noko ke, andizange ndayazi kwa into yokuba loo nkululeko yobuqu ikhona, kuba zange ndayingcamla ngaphambili. Mhlawumbi ikwa yinto yethu bantu baseYurophu ukucinga ukuba le nkululeko siyaziyo kuphela kohlobo lwenkululeko size singavumeli ezinye iindlela zokuyichaza. Kodwa oku kukungqubana njekwemibono. Bendimele ndiyazi into yokuba ‘inkululeko’ ayinakupheleliselwa nje kwingcamango enye. Ndilubonile olu hlobo lwenkululeko yobuqu kubantu baseMzantsi Afrika endidibene nabo: ababotshelelwanga (ubomi babo abulawulwa bungabekelwa miqathango ngokunjalo), kodwa bayaziphilela, ngemiphefumlo yabo; bayabamkela abanye abantu baze baqale usuku ngalunye bonwabile yaye bekhaliphile. Inkululeko yobuqu emangalisayo eMzantsi Afrika kubonakala ngathi inexabiso elikhulu, yaye yinto ngokuqinisekileyo engamele ijongelwe phantsi: abanye abantu bashiywe bodwa – ukuba bazizamele. Kufuneka bazibonele. Ngokwaloo mbono, mna bendibona ngathi abanye abantu boMzantsi Afrika babona ubume bomhlaba waseMzantsi Afrika njengelize kunokuba ubazisele ikamva eliqaqambileyo. Ndicinga ukuba, yaye nyhani ndinethemba lokuba, oku kusenokutshintsha.
