Umnyaka ka2024 usufike emaphethelweni kulokuxokozela kwezombusazwe, abanye kubandla leZANU PF besithi uMongameli Emmerson Mnangagwa kumele aqhubeke esembusweni isikhathi sakhe singaphela ngo2028, njalo kulabaphikisayo abathi bakhahlanyezwa nguhulumende, ukutshiya isikhundla kuka Mnu. Nelson Chamisa owayekhokhela ibandla leCitizens Coalition for Change lokubotshwa kwamalunga ebandla leli abavalelwa esitokisini seRemand Prison okwesikhathi eside.
Kulamanye amalunga ebandla leZanu PF abaqhubekele phambili esithi uMnangagwa kumele abuse kungedlula umnyaka ka2028 loba yena esithi usefuna ukuphumula. Bakhuluma udaba lolu emhlanganweni weAnnual National People’s Conference lapho okwethulwa isinqumo sokuthi kumele aqhubekele phambili esembusweni.
Banengi abakuphikisayo lokhu abathi sokumele ayegcina abazukulu ngoba akuvumi ukuba kuguqulwe isisekelo sombuso welizwe ukuze ahlale embusweni. Sona isisekelo sombuso welizwe sikubeka sobala ukuba osesikhundleni sikamongameli okwamanje angeke abuyele esihlalweni singaguqulwa esebuse okweminyaka elitshumi. Isikhulumeli sebandla leZanu PF ukhuluma kabanzi ngokwenzakala kubandla leli.
Ingcitshi kwezombusazwe zithi okwenziwa nguMnangagwa kulakho ukuphazamisa ukuthula eZimbabwe. Eyinye yalez’igcitshi nguMnu. Mqondisi Maphosa ofundisa ezombusazwe ekolitshini yemfundo yaphezulu eyeBindura University of Science Education.
“UMnyaka lowu sibone ukufuthelana okukhulu kakhulu okulakh ukwenza ukuba kungabe lokuhlaliseka elizweni. Sithemba ukuba uMnangagwa uzakwenza njengokutsho kwakhe ahloniphe amalungelo kazulu, ngokutshiya isikhundla ngo 2028.”
UMnu. Bekezela Gumbo ingcwethi kwezombusazwe ekunhlanganiso yeZimbabwe Democracy Institute ubona solinye, esithi lonyaka ilizwe libuyele emuva kundaba zokugcinwa kwesisekelo sombuso.
“Indlela esibone ngayo abantu begijima besithi uMnangagwa kangene kungaphela iterm yakhe iveza ukuba u2024 ubengumnyaka onzima kundaba ze-constitutionalism.”
Lidonse nzima lebandla eliphikisayo eleCCC lonyaka, eladabuka phakathi umkhokheli walo uMnu. Nelson Chamisa waze wasuka esikhundleni esithi seliqanjulwe libandla leZanu PF. Owayedonsa intambo zombuso walelibandla nguMnu. Sengezo Tshabangu, owathi nguye unobhala jikelele walo ngakho-ke wayelelungelo lokuxotshisa amalunga edale lephalamende kanye lamakhansila.
Wenza lokhu santando lahle labamanikiniki ibandla leCCC, sokuxotshiswa amalunga edale lephalamende lamakhansila amanengi ngendlela abanye abathi uTshabangu wayephathisana lebandla elibusayo ebambisana loSikhwicamfundo Welshman Ncube labanye bakhe. Okwamanje sokulamacele eCCC akhokhelwa nguTshabangu, uMnu. Jameson Timba loNcube. UNkosikazi Jacquline Sande oliqqwetha elilwela ilungelo loluntu uthi kumele amabandla aphikisayo azinuke amakhwapha afunde amaphutha awo awenze lonyaka ukuze belungele ukhetho luka2028.
‘’U2024 usifundise ukuthi nxa abaphikisayo bengazange benze imizamo yokubambana ibandla elibusayo lizaqhubeke lizenzela santando, kabatshiya okubehlukanisayo babambane.”
Abalwela ilungelo loluntu bathi lokubotshwa kukaTimba labanye bakhe ngesikhathi bethakazelela usuku lwabatsha olweDay of the African Child eHarare kuveza ukuthi uhulumende kaMnangagwa uqhubekela phambili esephula amalungelo kazulu ngoba isisekelo sombuso zivumela abantu ukuba benze imihlangano bekhululekile.
UTimba lamanye amalunga ebandla leli afika phose amatshumi ayisikhombisa bahlala eRemand Prison inyanga ezinhlanu bemelele ukuthoniswa icala lokwenza umhlangano ongekho emthethweni njalo lelokutshotshozela udlakela ngesikhathi eleZimbabwe lilungiselela umhlangano omkhulu oweSouthern African Development Community Summit. Kulababotshelwa okufanayo abagoqela uMnu. Robson Chere okunhlanganiso yababalisi eyeAmalgamated Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe, abalwela ilungelo lolungu uNkosazana Namate Kwekweza, uMnu. Samuel Gwenzi labanye.
Bathwaliswa nzima abanye njalo abakubandla leCCC abagoqela uMnu. Prince Dubeko Sibanda, uMnu. Amos Chibaya lowayemele iZengeza West edale lephalamende uMnu Job Sikhala ababotshwa bethweswa amacala okutshotshozela udlakela. Kunengi okunye okwabhekana labantu beZimbabwe lonyaka.
Okunye njalo yikubotshwa kwabosomabhizimusi uMnu. Moses Mpofu loMnu. Mike Chimombe abetheswa icala lokweba imali yokuthenga imbuzi phansi kohlelo lwePresidential Goat Pass on Scheme. UMnu. Melusi Sibanda osebenza lenhlanganiso elwela ilungelo loluntu eyeTransperancy International uthi kusaselohambo kundaba zokulwisana lenkohlakalo.
‘’Usesemude umango wakhona sibili. Ukubotshwa kwabo Chimombe ngo 2024 sisiya ku 2025 kuzasifundisa ukuba uhulumende uzimisele na ukulwisana lenkohlakalo ikahulu nxa bengabotshwa.’’
Sokusiya ekupheleni komnyaka, idale lephalamende lapasisa iPrivate Voluntary Organizations Amendment Bill eyesatshwa zinhlanganiso ezizimeleyo ezithi zilakho ukuvalwa uma ziphikisana lohulumende. Idale leSenate lalo lapasisa iBill le eyahanjiswa kuMnangagwa yabiselwa njalo edale leHouse of Representatives ukwenzela ukuthi ifakwe ezinye iziqa ezazisele phandle ihanjiswa kumongameli.
UMnangagwa ukewatshela abazama ukulungisa udaba lokubhadalwa kwezikwelede zeZimbabwe ukuthi iBill le ilakho ukwenza ukuba ilizwe lilwisane lobukhohlakalo obukunhlanganiso ezizimeleyo njalo lokwenziwa ngabanye abantu kanye lamankampani. Kodwa abalwela ilungelo loluntu bathi iBill le ingapasiswa ukuba ngumthetho welizwe ilakho ukwenza kuncindezelwa uzulu ngamandla.
Kodwa uhulumende uyakuphika lokhu. Sokusele insukwana nje ukuba kugqitshwe umnyaka ka2024, uhulumende kaMnangagwa wethulele abalimi uhlelo lokusebenzisa amapulazi abo ukuboleka imali phansi kohlelo lweLand Tenure Program.
Abalimi abathola amapulazi kusukela ngomnyaka ka2000 lapho okwaqala khona ukuthathelwa abamhlophe amapulazi kusabusa owayengumongameli umuyi uRobert Mugabe, bathi lokhu kuzakwenza bethole imali yokulima amabele lokunye njalo leyokufuya inkomo, imbuzi, inkukhu lezinye izifuyo. Abalandela udaba lolu bathi akulalutho oluzafezwa phansi kohlelo lolu ngoba ngamaphepha nje la aphetshulwa ngumoya azakwaliwa ngamabhanga amanengi.
