Barend Uys (English)

I-AfriForum icela imiphakathi yamasiko kanye neminye kanye nabaholi bayo ukuthi basebenzisane ukuze bathole intshisekelo efanayo ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi iSigaba 235 soMthethosisekelo siyagcinwa. Lesi sinqumo silandela isaziso sikaMzwanele Manyi, i-MK Party (MKP) MP, mayelana nokuchitshiyelwa kwakhe uMthethosivivinywa Wokuchibiyela wama-24 kuMthethosisekelo, okuhloswe ngawo ukuqeda Isigaba sama-235 soMthethosisekelo futhi ngalokho kuphucwe yonke imiphakathi ilungelo lokuzibusa. I-AfriForum ithumele izethulo ezibhaliwe mayelana nalokhu ngeSonto (26 Epril 2026).

Ngokusho kukaBarend Uys, oyiNhloko ye-Intercultural Relations and Cooperation e-AfriForum, lesi sichibiyelo esihlongozwayo siwukuhlasela yonke imiphakathi yamasiko neminye elwela ukuzimela, ukuzimela ngokwesiko kanye nokuzikhethela ngokuhambisana nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. U-Uys uphinde waveza ukuthi ukuchithwa kweSigaba 235 kuzoshayisana neSihloko 20 kanye ne-28 ye-African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), Izihloko 1, 5 no-27 ze-United Nations’ (UN) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), kanye nesihloko 3, 4 no-8 sesiMemezelo se-UN samalungelo abantu bomdabu (UNDRIP).

I-AfriForum iphikisana kakhulu nokuchithwa kweSigaba 235 futhi iphakamisa ukuthi sigcinwe singashintshiwe ngenxa yalezi zizathu ezilandelayo, phakathi kwezinye:

Isigaba sama-235 soMthethosisekelo, esamukela “umbono welungelo lokuzibusa kwanoma yimuphi umphakathi owabelana ngamagugu afanayo amasiko nolimi, ngaphakathi kwenhlangano yendawo eRiphabhulikhi noma nganoma iyiphi enye indlela” sihambisana ne-ACHPR, UNDRIP kanye ne-ICCPR.
Ngokuzibandakanya emisebenzini ehloselwe ukucekela phansi ilungelo lokuzibusa njengoba kuvunywa yiSigaba 235, i-MKP yenza ngokuphambene ne-ACHPR, UNDRIP kanye ne-ICCPR.
Izenzo ezithathwe imiphakathi emazingeni aphansi kanye nabaholi basebukhosini zingaphakathi kweSigaba 235, futhi i-MKP ngokusobala ayihambisani nezinto ezibalulekile, izifiso, kanye namaqiniso amasiko neminye imiphakathi ezweni.
Izichibiyelo zomthethosisekelo ezihlongozwayo zamanje kanye nezangaphambilini ze-MKP kuhloswe ngazo ekwandiseni ukugunyazwa kombuso kanye nokubeka eceleni inkululeko namalungelo emiphakathi kanye nabantu ngabanye.
Lo mzamo wokuchithwa kweSigaba 235 soMthethosisekelo uwukuchezuka okuyingozi esivumelwaneni okuxoxiswene ngaso esivumele ukusungulwa kwesikhathi samanje saseNingizimu Afrika.

Ngokuka-Uys, i-MKP yabeka izizathu ePhalamende ukuthi iSigaba 235 soMthethosisekelo kufanele sichithwe ngoba imiphakathi yamaBhunu, efana ne-Orania, isisebenzisa kabi ukuze ichaze ubukhona bayo. “Ngokusekelwe ezichibiyelweni zomthethosisekelo ezihlongozwayo zamanje nezangaphambilini ze-MKP, lokhu kucabanga kusebenza njengendawo yokubuka izenzo ezihloselwe ukucekela phansi imiphakathi yamasiko, amalungelo amasiko kanye namalungelo empahla, nomphumela wokugcina wokusungula umbuso ophakathi nendawo, onegunya lapho osopolitiki benegunya lonke nemiphakathi, abaholi bendabuko kanye nabantu ngabanye benenkululeko, amalungelo namandla alinganiselwe kakhulu. Le nhloso yobukhosi isobala uma lesi siphakamiso sokuchithwa kweSigaba 235 soMthethosisekelo sifundwa kanye noMthethosivivinywa Wokuchibiyela wama-22 we-MKP woMthethosisekelo, okuhloswe ngawo ukuqeda ubunikazi bomhlaba ozimele ezweni nokwenza umbuso ube ngumgcini wawo wonke umhlaba nemithombo yemvelo ngokuchibiyela iSigaba 25 soMthethosisekelo.”

“I-MKP ithi iSigaba 235 asisona esase-Afrika futhi ukuvikelwa kwamalungelo abantu kuyisiqinisekiso esanele samalungelo amasiko neqembu.
I-ACHPR ngobuhlakani ivikela amalungelo omuntu ngamunye kanye neqembu futhi ibheka ukuzimela njengelungelo elingenakwephucwa – kusobala ukuthi empeleni yi-MKP engahambisani no-Afrika,” kuphetha u-Uys.
