Izinkulungwane zabantu zabhikisha kulo lonke elaseNingizimu Afrika ngomhlaka-30 Juni 2026 ngokumelene nokufuduka okungekho emthethweni, ochungechungeni lwemashi ehlelwe amaqembu afana ne-Operation Dudula kanye noMashi noMashi. Ngokusho kwe-South African Police Service (SAPS), amadolobha amakhulu namadolobhana abone imibhikisho emikhulu kakhulu egxile ekufudukeni kusukela ngo-2008, enezehlakalo zokuphanga kanye nokuboshwa kaningi kodwa ikakhulukazi izixuku ezinokuthula. Uhulumeni uthe awukakhiphi noma yisiphi isinqumo esinqunyiwe kubafuduki abangenazo izincwadi, uzihlukanisa nesikhathi esibekiwe yizishoshovu.

Impendulo Yamaphoyisa Nezitatimende Zezepolitiki

I-SAPS iqinisekisile ukuthi amayunithi asetshenziswe ngendlela efanele ezweni lonke futhi izindawo ezishisayo ziphawulwe kusengaphambili, kanti uNgqongqoshe Wamaphoyisa Ophethe uFiroz Cachalia uthe, “Sinxusa izakhamuzi ukuthi zisebenzise amalungelo azo ngokomthethosisekelo ngendlela efanele futhi ziqinisekise ukuthi imibhikisho ihlala inokuthula futhi isemthethweni.” Kuboshwe abantu ngokuphathelene nokuphanga eGoli naseThekwini, kodwa akukho bantu ababulewe ngobuningi noma udlame olusabalele olubikiwe.

Uhulumeni uchaze lokho okubizwa ngokuthi isikhathi sokugcina sokuba abokufika abangenazo izincwadi bahambe “njengokungebona abangempela” futhi kuhloswe ukubangela ukwethuka, ngokusho kwesitatimende esisemthethweni. UMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa, ehlangene ne-Amnesty International South Africa, wenqabe izimangalo zokuthi abokufika yibona ababangela kakhulu izinkinga zomnotho eNingizimu Afrika futhi wathi ubunzima obuqhubekayo bubangelwa yizinkinga zesikhathi eside ezisekelwe obandlululweni kanye nokungalingani kwesakhiwo.

Umthelela Wokufuduka Nezinkinga Zomphakathi

Le mihlangano iholele ekuhambeni kwabantu abaningi abafudukayo, kanti izinkulungwane kubikwa ukuthi zibuyele eZimbabwe, eMalawi naseNigeria ngesonto eledlule njengoba kuqinisekiswe yizibalo zokubuyiselwa kwabantu. Izibalo ezisemthethweni zibonisa ukuthi iNingizimu Afrika ixoshe abantu bangaphandle abangaphezu kuka-400 kanti abokufika abangaphezu kuka-4,000 babuyiselwe ngokuzithandela kusukela emibhikishweni.

Izinhlangano zomphakathi nezamalungelo abantu zizwakalise ukukhathazeka ngokuthi imashi ibonisa ukwanda kokucwaswa kwabokufika futhi ingabangela ubudlova obengeziwe noma ukungazinzi uma ingalawulwa. Ukuqubuka okukhulu kwangaphambilini kobudlova obulwa nabokufika kwenzeka ngo-2008 nango-2015, lapho abaholi bomphakathi abaningi kanye nabahlaziyi bexwayisa ngokuthi ukucashela abantu bakwamanye amazwe kuyaphazamisa ekubhekaneni nezinkinga eziyisisekelo njengokungasebenzi kanye nokukhishwa inyumbazane.

Isimo sisalokhu sishubile njengoba umphakathi kanye nabameleli bakahulumeni becela izinguquko ezizolile, zesakhiwo, kanye nokugxila kabusha ekubhekaneni nobunzima bezomnotho ngaphandle kokuqondisa amaqembu asengozini. Kulindeleke intuthuko eyengeziwe njengoba iziphathimandla zibuyekeza izinyathelo zamaphoyisa kanye nokungezwani komphakathi ezifundeni ezithintekile.
