Njengoba iNingizimu Afrika igubha iNyanga Yokubuyisana ngoZibandlela, uhulumeni unxuse abantu baseNingizimu Afrika ukuthi bajulise ukuzibophezela kwabo ebunyeni, ekwelapheni, ekuthetheleleni nasekwakheni isizwe. Uhulumeni uphinde wakhuthaza izakhamizi ukuthi ziqinisekise ukuthi amagugu okubuyisana ahlala ewumgogodla wekusasa okwabelwana ngalo eNingizimu Afrika. Lokhu kuvezwe nguNgqongqoshe wezeMidlalo, ezobuCiko namaSiko uGayton McKenzie ngesikhathi kwethulwa isikhumbuzo sikazwelonke salo nyaka, esizoba ngoLwesibili, mhla ziyi-16 kuZibandlela 2025 eNcome Museum, kuMasipala Wendawo waseNquthu, esiFundeni saseMzinyathi esiFundazweni saKwaZulu-Natali. Itholakala endaweni eyigugu ye-Battle of Blood River, i-Ncome Museum inikeza indawo enamandla nengokomfanekiso yoSuku LukaZwelonke Lokubuyisana lwango-2025.
Kulapha lapho impi yango-1838 phakathi kwamabutho aseVoortrekker kanye noMbuso wakwaZulu yenzeke khona emlandweni owadala imikhuba yesikhumbuzo ehlukene futhi evame ukuhlukanisa iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu. Ngaphambi kuka-1995, mhla zingu-16 Disemba wawukhunjulwa ngokwehlukana nangokuhlukana njengoSuku lukaDingane noma uSuku lweSivumelwano, okubonisa umlando ophukile wezwe lamakholoni kanye nobandlululo eNingizimu Afrika. Ngo-1995, uhulumeni wentando yeningi waluchaza kabusha lolu suku njengoSuku LukaZwelonke Lokubuyisana, waluguqula lusuka kuphawu lokuhlukana lwaba inkundla ehlanganisayo yeqiniso, ubulungisa, inkhulumomphendvulwano, ukuphulukisa, nokwabelana ngobuzwe. Ukusingatha uhlelo lwangowezi-2025 eNcome kuqinisekisa lokhu kuzibophezela futhi uMnyango Wezemidlalo, Wezobuciko Namasiko unxuse isizwe ukuthi sixoxe ngokwethembeka nomlando walo onzima ngesikhathi siqhubekisela phambili ikusasa eligxilile ekuhlanganisweni, ukuqonda kanye nobumbano. “Inyanga yokubuyisana ayilona nje usuku ekhalendeni lethu kazwelonke, iyisibuko sikazwelonke.
Kulo nyaka, sibuyela eNcome ukuze singaphinde sivule amanxeba amadala, kodwa ukuze siqinise isethembiso sethu ezizukulwaneni ezizayo sokuthi iNingizimu Afrika ayisoze yaphinde yahlukaniswa yinzondo, ukungabi nabulungisa noma ukuvalelwa ngaphandle,” kusho uNgqongqoshe. Ugcizelele ukuthi nakuba uhulumeni engakha izinkundla zokuxoxisana, ukuphulukisa kanye nokwakha isizwe, umsebenzi wangempela ngowabantu uqobo. “Uhulumeni angavula indawo yokuxoxisana, kodwa ukubuyisana kuwumthwalo osemahlombe awo wonke umuntu waseNingizimu Afrika. Umgomo wethu manje uwukwakha ikusasa lapho izingane zethu zizuza khona ubunye, hhayi ukwahlukana,” kusho uNgqongqoshe. Ukwakhela phezu komsebenzi weKhomishana Yeqiniso Nokubuyisana, uhulumeni uyaqhubeka nokuqalisa izinhlelo ezikhuthaza ukubumbana komphakathi kanye nokubamba iqhaza kwentando yeningi. Le mizamo iholwa uHlaka Lwesu Lwesikhathi Esimaphakathi kanye Nohlelo Lokuthuthukiswa Kwesikhathi Esimaphakathi ngaphansi kukaHulumeni Wobumbano Lwesizwe (i-GNU).
Imigomo eyinhloko ye-GNU iwukwakha isizwe, ukubumbana komphakathi, ukungacwasi ngokobulili, ubumbano, nokuphatha okwabiwe, okuhlinzeka ngenkundla eqinisiwe yokuthuthukisa ukuphulukiswa kwezwe. Ngaphambi koSuku LukaZwelonke Lokubuyisana, iminyango kahulumeni nezinhlaka ezahlukene zizobamba uchungechunge lwemisebenzi yokukhumbula le nyanga. “Uhulumeni unxusa bonke abantu baseNingizimu Afrika kanye nezakhamizi ukuthi babambe iqhaza emisebenzini yeNyanga Yokubuyisana emiphakathini yabo futhi baqhubeke nokuxoxa eziqinile neziqotho mayelana nokuzibophezela ebunyeni, ekwelapheni, ekuxoleleni nasekwakheni isizwe,” kusho umnyango.
