“Into esebenzayo kumalungelo welungelo elilodwa lomenzi kwilizwe liphela kufanele ukuba ibekho nakumalungelo oluntu, oko kukuthi ayanyanzeliswa. Ubunyani bubukeka-ubuncinci okwangoku-bohluke ngokupheleleyo.
Xa izinto eziluhlaza zithengwa kwilizwe liphela, zihlala zisebenzisa izitishi ezininzi kunye namanyathelo emveliso ngaphambi kokuba zifike kubathengi kweli lizwe. Nokuba ukwaphulwa kwamalungelo oluntu kuluhlu lwe-ajenda kumacandelo amaninzi, kuncinci kakhulu okwenziwayo malunga nalo kwaye iinkampani zithetha nabaxhasi bazo abaphezulu.
Umzekelo weshishini lecolethile ubonakalisa ukuba ukuzithandela kunokubonelela ngefuthe elibalulekileyo xa kusiziwa kozinzo. Kodwa akwanele ukufezekisa inguqu enkulu kwizinga elifanelekileyo lokubonelela ngemixokelelwane. Kungenxa yokuba iinkampani ezinkulu bezithembisa iminyaka yokumela amalungelo oluntu kwaye ziyeke ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, kodwa okwahlukileyo kunjalo ngoku. Ngethuba lokuqala ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20, ukuxhaphaza abantwana ngokuxhaphazayo kuyanda kwakhona kwihlabathi liphela.
Isifundo esitsha siqikelela ukuba malunga ne-1,5 yezigidi zabantwana eNtshona Afrika kuphela kufuneka basebenze kulimo lwecocoa endaweni yokuhlala esikolweni. Ukongeza, iindawo ezihlala zikhulu ziyacocwa ukulungiselela indawo yeenkcubeko ezizodwa. Inyathelo laseGhana nase-Ivory Coast, amazwe aphambili avelisa i-cocoa, ukulwa nentlupheko yeentsapho zokulima i-cocoa, isoyikisa ukusilela ngenxa yokuchasana nabathengisi becocoa abanesikhundla esiphambili sentengiso. Zintoni izithembiso zokuzithandela ezixabisekileyo xa inyathelo lingalandelwa? Ezo nkampani zikulungeleyo ukusebenza ngokokuziphatha kufuneka zithwale iindleko eziyimfuneko zodwa kwaye ezo zihlawula kuphela iinkonzo zomlomo zinokukhuphisana. Lixesha lokuba kuphele ububi beenkampani ezinoxanduva kunye nokwenza ukuba bonke abathathi-nxaxheba kwimarike baphendule.
Kuyanelisa kakhulu ukuba esi sihloko ekugqibeleni sihamba. Kunyaka wamazwe aphesheya ngokuchasene nokuqeshwa kwabantwana, iJamani yathatha isigqibo sokuthatha inyathelo elinesibindi. Kwixesha elizayo kuyakubakho umthetho wokuthengiswa kwempahla apho ofuna amalungelo oluntu kunye nokuzimisela okusingqongileyo. Nabani na ongazithobeliyo angagcinwa enoxanduva, nokuba ngaba olo lwaphulo-mthetho lwenzeka kumazwe aphesheya.
Eli linyathelo lokuqala elibalulekileyo eliya kubulungisa nokungafihlisi. Abemi bayancipha ngokuncipha ukwamkela inkqubo yezoqoqosho ejonga abantu kuphela njengeyona nto inexabiso eliphantsi kwimveliso. Njengabathengi, ngoku bahlawula ngakumbi nangakumbi ukuba iimveliso abazithengayo zivela phi kwaye abasazimisele ukungahoyi izikhalazo. Ukucinga kwakhona kudala kudala. Iphulo lezomthetho laseJamani ke ngoko kufuneka lisebenze njengomzekelo welizwe lethu. Ndibhenela kwabo bathatha izigqibo kwezopolitiko e-Austria ukuba baxhase inyathelo lomthetho waseYurophu wokubonelela oya kuthi uxoxwe kwiikomiti ze-EU kwezi nyanga zimbalwa zizayo. Kuba kunokubakho kuphela iimpendulo zamanye amazwe kwimiceli mngeni yehlabathi. Inyathelo lokuqala lithathiwe, ngoku kufuneka kulandelwe ngaphezulu ukuze kusetyenziswe ngokulinganayo amathuba abonelelwa lihlabathi. "
