Ukuxhumana phakathi kwamalungelo abantu kanye nomnotho womhlaba jikelele

Yihora lesihlanu ekuseni. Nsuku zonke ngalesi sikhathi, impilo iqala emzaneni omncane wase-Afrika. Amadoda aya kozingela kanti abesifazane baya emasimini bayokha ukudla. Ayikho imfucuza yokudla, futhi akukho futhi ukusetshenziswa okungaphezulu kwesilinganiso sokudla. Konke kukhuliswa futhi kukhiqizwa kuphela ukugcina impilo yomuntu uqobo. Umkhondo wezinto eziphilayo ungaphansi kakhulu kuka-1, okungasho ukuthi ukube wonke umuntu ubephila njengasemzaneni wase-Afrika, ngabe ayikho indlala, akukho ukuxhashazwa kwamaqembu abantu abampofu akwamanye amazwe futhi ngeke kuncibilike izingqimba zeqhwa elisendaweni emhlophe, ngoba ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke bekungeke kube khona.

Yize kunjalo, izinkampani ezinkulu ezahlukahlukene zizama ukuqothula nokuxosha lezi zinhlanga ezincane ukuze zikhiphe izinsiza ezithe xaxa futhi ziguqule amahlathi emvula azenze izindawo zezolimo.

Nakhu manje. Ngubani umenzi wobubi? Ngabe umlimi omncane usebenzela ubukhona bakhe kuphela futhi engenzi lutho ekubumbaneni komhlaba? Noma ingabe yizinkampani ezinkulu ezishayela ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke futhi zingcolisa imvelo, kepha zinikeza isigaba esibanzi sabantu ngokudla nezingubo ezingabizi?

Akunampendulo ecacile kulo mbuzo, ngoba kuncike kakhulu emibonweni yakho nasekuziphatheni kwakho ukuthi ukhetha luphi uhlangothi. Kepha uma manje ubheka ukuthi wonke umuntu osemhlabeni, noma ngabe ucebile noma umpofu, omkhulu noma omncane, ngokwemvelo unamalungelo esintu, ngokombono wami izinkampani ezixhaphazayo ziyazephula nakanjani. Umphakathi udlala indima enkulu kulo mongo, kanti uNestlé uyisibonelo esaziwayo. Le nkampani ifuna ukuthi imithombo yamanzi yenziwe ibe yodwa, okusho ukuthi abantu abangenayo imali abanalo ilungelo lokuthola amanzi. Kodwa-ke, amanzi awusizo emphakathini futhi wonke umuntu unelungelo lokuthola amanzi. Kepha kungani ungezwa neze ngalezi zihloko? Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuningi okwenziwa yiNestlé nokunye okunjalo ukuvimbela amahlazo anjalo ukuthi angabi sesidlangalaleni. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ubudlelwano bomuntu siqu nabo budlala indima, abantu abaningi abangakwazi ukuyisungula ngenxa yebanga nezimo zokuphila ezihlukile.

Imikhiqizo eminingi eyaziwayo ibingakubekezeleli lokhu kuziphatha. Kodwa-ke, inkinga ivela ngenxa yokuthengwa kwe-opaque, njengoba izinto zokusetshenziswa zivame ukuthengwa ngabalamuli abaningana.

Kunezixazululo eziningi ezingaba khona, kepha bambalwa kuphela abanemiphumela eqondile. Enye yalezi zindlela kungaba, isibonelo, ukugcina ibanga lakho kusuka kuma-athikili anamagama athi "Made in China" bese uzama ukukhuthaza umnotho wesifunda noma waseYurophu. Kuyasiza kakhulu ukuthola ngemvelaphi yemikhiqizo nezimo zokusebenza lapho kusengaphambili kwi-Intanethi.

Umkhondo omkhulu wemvelo uzoba khona uma nje izinkampani ezinkulu zizoba khona. Ngakho-ke kufanele ubhenele emqondweni ovamile wabantu ukuze ukhethe imikhiqizo yomnotho wesifunda.
