Umbuzo ovela e-Afghanistan, "Ngaba sinokuyiphelisa imfazwe?"

NguDkt. Hakim

UHadisa, intombazana yase-Afghan eqaqambileyo eneminyaka eli-18 ubudala, ukwinqanaba lomfundi obalaseleyo kwi-12 yakhe^th iklasi yebanga. “Umbuzo ngulo,” wazibuza, “ngaba abantu banako ukuphelisa imfazwe?”

NjengoHadisa, ndandinamathandabuzo am enoba indalo yomntu inako kusini na ukuphelisa imfazwe. Kangangeminyaka, bendicinga ukuba imfazwe ngamanye amaxesha iyimfuneko ukulawula 'abanqolobi', kwaye ngokusekwe kuloo ngcinga, kwakungekho ngqiqweni ukuyiphelisa. Kodwa intliziyo yam yaba buhlungu kuHadisa xa ndimbona ekwikamva ezele bubundlobongela obungenasiphelo.

UHadisa ukekelise intloko kancinci ecinga nzulu. Wamamela ngononophelo kwizimvo ezahlukeneyo ezazivakaliswe ngamanye amaVolontiya oXolo e-Afghan. Uyasokola ukufumana iimpendulo.

Kodwa xa uHadisa efika eBorderfree Afghan Street Kids School rhoqo ngooLwezihlanu ukuze afundise abondli babantwana, ngoku abakwi-100 kwiiklasi zakusasa nasemva kwemini, uwabekela bucala amathandabuzo akhe.

Ndiyambona esebenzisa uvelwano lwakhe lwangaphakathi olunyuka ngaphezulu kwemfazwe esaqhubeka e-Afghanistan.

I-Hadisa, njenge-99% yabantu, kunye nababaleki abangaphezu kwezigidi ze-60 ababalekela imfazwe yomkhosi kunye nezoqoqosho, ngokuqhelekileyo bakhetha izenzo zoxolo, ezakhayo kunobundlobongela.

“Bafundi abathandekayo,” utshilo uHadisa, “Kwesi sikolo, sinqwenela ukunakhela ihlabathi elingenamfazwe.”

UHadisa, ngoku eqinisekileyo ngokubhangisa imfazwe, uthi #Kwanele!

Abafundi bakhe abafunda esitratweni bayonwabela imfundiso kaHadisa. Ngaphezu koko, kude nezitrato ezirhabaxa nezingalindelekanga zaseKabul, bafumana indawo esikolweni iqinisekisa, ikhuselekile kwaye yahlukile.

UFatima, omnye wabafundi bakaHadisa, uthathe inxaxheba kumboniso wokuqala wabantwana basesitalatweni eKabul efuna isikolo sabantwana abahlala ezitalatweni abali-100. Kwizenzo ezilandelayo, wancedisa ukutyala imithi kunye nokungcwaba izixhobo zokudlala. Kwiintsuku ezimbini, kwi-21^st kaSeptemba, umhla woXolo lwaMazwe ngaMazwe, uya kuba ngomnye wabantwana basesitalatweni abali-100 abaza kulungiselela isidlo sasemini kubasebenzi abali-100 base-Afghan.

“Endaweni yemfazwe,” wafunda oko uFatima, “siya kwenza izenzo zobubele.”

Esi senzo siza kusungula #Kwanele!, Iphulo lexesha elide kunye nentshukumo eyaqalwa ngamaVolontiya oXolo e-Afghan ukuphelisa imfazwe.

Wowu! Onjani wona ukuba luncedo ukufunda!

Ukuba abantwana basezitalatweni bafundiswe iindlela ezigwenxa, baze babe 'ngabanqolobi', ingaba isisombululo ibikukuba ekugqibeleni 'bajongwe bababulale'?

Andikwazanga kukunyamezela ukucinga ngayo, kwaye ndiqiniseka ngakumbi, njengoHadisa kunye namaVolontiya oXolo ase-Afghan, ukuba ukubulala abo babizwa ngokuba 'ngabanqolobi' ngokubalwa imfazwe nabo akusebenzi.

Imfazwe nezixhobo azinyangi oonobangela bobunqolobi. Ukuba umntakwethu okanye udade wethu ebenogonyamelo, besingayi kucinga ukuba sibabulale ukuze sibalungise.

Ndandiseklasini xa umbuzo wabuzwa okokuqala kubantwana basesitratweni: “Ninganqwenela ukumphakela bani isidlo?” Izandla ziye zanyuka njengothando nethemba eliqhakaza kwisizukulwana esitsha sase-Afghan, kwaye uHabib, umntwana osesitratweni owayengumfundi kaHadisa kulo nyaka uphelileyo, waphinda nabanye abaninzi, “Abasebenzi!”

Ndaziva ndichukumiseke kakhulu, kuba ndibone intlantsi ecacileyo yesakhono sethu sobuntu sokukhathalela abanye, kunokuba sibe nentiyo, ucalucalulo, ukungakhathali okanye ukungakhathali.

UHabib, ephethe ipeni nephepha, esenza uluhlu lwezimemo lwabasebenzi abali-100 base-Afghan abaza kwabelana nabo isidlo kunye nabanye abantwana basesitratweni base-Afghan.

Izolo, uHabib uncede utitshala wakhe olivolontiya, u-Ali, ukuba ameme abasebenzi kwisidlo nge-21.^st. Njengoko ndandifota kwaye ndifota uHabib ndisusa amagama amadoda ase-Afghan amadala kakhulu kunaye, ndaziva ndinokholo olutsha kumandla ethu obuntu okwenza okulungileyo, kwaye imvakalelo efudumeleyo nethambileyo yandongamela.

Ngabantu abanje ngoHadisa, uFatima, uHabib kunye nabaninzi bama-Afghan amnandi endikhe ndadibana nawo, ndiyazi ukuba singayiphelisa imfazwe.

Ngenxa yabo nangenxa yabantu, kufuneka sisebenze kunye ngomonde omkhulu, kunye nalo lonke uthando lwethu.

Ngowe-1955, emva kweemfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi nokulahlekelwa ngabantu abazizigidi ezingama-96 ubuncinane, uBertrand Russell noAlbert Einstein babhala iManifesto, besithi, “Nantsi ke ingxaki esinibonisa yona, eyoyikekayo neyoyikekayo nengenakuphepheka: aphelise uluntu; okanye uluntu luya kuyiyeka na imfazwe?

Emva kokugqiba izimemo, njengoko sasihamba kwezo zitrato uHabib wayedla ngokuthwala nzima abahambi ngeenyawo ukuze afumane umvuzo wokunyamekela intsapho yakhe, ndambuza, “Kutheni ufuna ukuphelisa imfazwe nje?

Wathi yena, Kubulewe abantu abalishumi apha, kwabulawa abantu abalishumi apho. Yintoni na? Kungekudala, kubakho ukubulawa kwabantu, yaye ngokuthe ngcembe kuya kubakho imfazwe yehlabathi.”

Uthi uHabib # Kwanele!
