Lesi kwaba yisiwombe esibuhlungu emzabalazweni waboHlanga ngoba yilapho isandla sonya sobandlulo saqotha khona izingane. Isibhicongo lesi yize sabe sisibi kepha sakhiqiza okuthize okwawulekelela umzabalazo. Okokuqala nje kwathi singenzeka iningi lentsha laqoma ukuzidela lawela imigcele layozibandakanya nemibutho yezempi. Lokhu kwafaka umfutho umzabalazo owabe usufadalala emazweni lapho abaseNingizimu Afrika bebebhace khona. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lesi sibhicongo sakhiqiza abaholi abasebasha ezikhungweni zemfumdo zakwaNqondonkulu kanye nasemazingeni aphansi. Lesi kwaba yisikhathi esimqoka emzabalazweni wenkululeko.
Kwabaningi uma kuqala umzabalazo ngaphansi komkhankaso i#FeesMustFall ekupheleni konyaka odlule kuvuke lowo muzwa. Labo abangabazali namuhla nababeyintsha ngonyaka we-1976 kwaphenduleka imikhuleko yabo ngoba kwakukhona ukukhala ekutheni intsha noma isizukulwane samanje “kasinambono”. Kwakunokukhala ukuthi kungenzeka lesi sizukulwane singaba “ngesidukile” okungenamphumela wokuthi injalo ingaphuma edunjini.
Ukwethulwa nokuqhutshwa ngomkhankaso we#FeesMustFall kwaqala kahle cishe wonke umuntu wazwelana nabafundi ababefuna imfundo yamahhala.

Ukuguquka kwezinto
Nokho okwenzeke emuva kwalokho akudalanga kuphela amahloni kepha kwandise imibuzo ngobuholi babafundi. Iqiniso lithi yize kukhona izinkulumo zesandla sesithathu, okusobala wukuthi abaholi be#FeesMustFall nabo isibaphunyukile. Ngesikhathi uqala umkhankaso wabo bebengapheli kwabezindaba nasezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Namhuhla lapho sekugqongqiswa khona impahla yesikole ngomlilo, lapho kukhona ukubhekana ngeziqu zamehlo phakathi kwabafundi bezinhlanga ezahlukene kwezinye izikhungo alisezwakali izwi labaholi bomkhankaso i#FeesMustFall. Akasekho okhuza ulaka lwabafundi kanti nomzabalazo omuhle abebewuqalile usuqala ukuphelelwa yisithunzi nokuyinto embi. Isithombe esihle sabafundi bazo zonke izinhlanga belwela into eyodwa eKapa ngesikhathi beya ePhalamende kanjalo naleso sezinkulungwane ezabuthelana e-Union Buildings siya ngokushabalala.

Lezi ziwombe zokungabekezelani zivusa imibuzo ebisishabalala ekutheni ngabe lesi sizukulwane sabaholi siyokhiqiza okunjani.
Okukhathazayo ngokuswelakala kobuholi obuzokhuza ulaka wukuthi liselide ibanga okumele lihanjwe ngabafundi ukuze baphumelele kulokho abebe kuphokophele. Izibalo zikhomba ukuthi isibalo sabafundi bakwaNqgondonkulu sizokhula sisuka esigidini siya esigidini nengxenye okuzosho ukuthi isazodingeka imali yokuxhasa abafundi kanjalo nezemfundo kulo mnotho ovele untenga.
