Izono zoyise: AbaseDRC bafuna ubulungiswa eBelgium
Abesifazane abahlanu abazalelwa eDemocratic Republic of Congo bavulele izwe iBelgium icala lobugebengu obubhekiswe esintwini. Abesifazane bafuna ukunxeshezelwa ngokuhlukaniswa kwemindeni ngenkani okwenzeka ngesikhathi iBelgium ibusa leli lizwe njengeKoloni layo.
Kulindeleke ukuthi kuphume isinqumo ekupheleni kwale nyanga. ULea Tavares noSimone Ngalula bahlukunyezwa futhi bangondleki ezandleni zeziphathimandla zaseBelgium.
“Kubuhlungu. Akunabuntu. Ngizibuyisele ezicathulweni zengane encane efuna unina. Ngezimbili, udinga umama wakho, iphunga lakhe nokufudumala kwakhe, kodwa kwakungekho lapho,” kusho uLea Tavares Mujinga.
Ukwehlukaniswa okuphoqiwe kwakuklanyelwe ukuhlukanisa izingane ezinhlanga ezimbili komama bazo boHlanga. Izinyunyana zezinhlanga phakathi kwabesilisa base-Europe kanye nabesifazane base-Afrika benqatshelwe. Abesifazane, manje abahlala eBelgium, bafuna umbuso uvume ubugebengu bawo, kanye nokunxeshezelwa okungenani ngezi-€ 50 000.
“Okokuqala, sifuna kubuyiswe ubuthina. Kuze kube yilolu suku, angikaze ngimazi ubaba ongizalayo ongowaseBelgium. Okokuqala sifuna kuxoliswe ngendlela esiphatheke kabi ngayo, bese sidinga ukunxeshezelwa. Kodwa ungazibuyisela kanjani impilo yakho yonke,” kusho uSimone Ngalula.
Icala liza phakathi kwezidingo ezikhulayo zokuthi iBelgium ibuyekeze kabusha umlando wayo wamakoloni. Ngonyaka odlule, ngemva kwemibhikisho emelene nokungalingani kwezinhlanga e-United States, izithombe ezimbalwa zenkosi yangaphambili yenkosi uLeopold II zacekelwa phansi noma zasuswa. Inkosi yamanje yaseBelgium uPhilippe izwakalise, okokuqala ngqa, ukuzisola kwayo “ngamanxeba esikhathi esidlule.”
Kodwa abamangali bathi lezi zimpawu ezingokomfanekiso azanele. “Sibuza izwe iBelgium ukuthi kungani lasihlwithwa emindenini yethu, kungani sahlukunyezwa ngaleya ndlela, kanye nokunxeshezelwa ngezimpilo ezahlukana phakathi,” kwengeza uMujinga.
UMehluleli waseBelgium eselicubungula icala labesifazane amasonto ayisithupha kanti kulindeleke ukuthi kuphume isinqumo maduze.
Manje njengoba sebekhulile ngokwabo baba ngogogo, laba besifazane banethemba lokuqala kwesahluko esisha nokuxazulula amashumi eminyaka okuhlukumezeka.
