ITheku Lizibekele Uguquko Lwezepolitiki njengoMkhonto weSizwe Gains Ground

ITheku, okuyisizinda esiqinile se-ANC KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), lisonqenqemeni lokuwela ngaphansi koMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK). Ukuqagela kwangaphakathi kweqembu elisha lika-Jacob Zuma kukhomba ushintsho olukhulu ekuthembekeni kwezepolitiki esifundazweni, nokuqeda ukwesekwa yi-ANC kanye neNkatha Freedom Party (IFP).

Kulindeleke ukuthi i-MK ilahlekelwe yizifunda ezingaphansi kuka-40 kwezingu-869 eThekwini, nokuyinto ekhombisa ukwehla kwamandla emali ebuholini be-ANC esifundeni. Lokhu kuqagela kuphakamisa ushintsho olubalulekile emizweni yabavoti.

Ezindaweni ebezibuswa kakhulu yiDemocratic Alliance (DA), njengaseKloof, Hillcrest, naseDurban North (okuhlanganisa noMhlanga), i-ANC isike yabhekana nokulahlekelwa. Ngokunjalo nasesifundeni iKing Cetshwayo kulindeleke ukuthi iMK ilahlekelwe ngamawadi angaphansi kweshumi kweziyi-107 ngokocwaningo lwedatha.

UBuhle Khumalo, ongumxhumanisi weMK esifundazweni, ukuqinisekisile kwi-IOL ukuthi leli qembu selilahlekelwe amawadi amathathu eMhlathuze, okuwumasipala wesithathu ngobukhulu eKZN. Lawa mawadi agcinwe yi-DA ne-IFP. Kodwa-ke, ukulahlekelwa kuncane kakhulu, futhi iqembu lisendleleni yokunqoba ngendlela engakaze ibonwe e-KZN.

“Ukubala kusaqhubeka kodwa sijabule kakhulu ngomphumela wethu kuze kube manje. Silindele ukuthi izibalo zethu zisanyuke kakhulu kodwa konke kuhle kuze kube manje,” kwengeza uKhumalo.

Lokhu kunqoba obekungalindelekile kushiye amanye amaqembu ebambe ongezansi. I-IFP, emele i-KZN yasezindaweni zasemakhaya, kanye ne-ANC bobabili babone ukulahlekelwa okukhulu ku-MK, esithathe ngaphezu kwengxenye yamavoti e-ANC esifundazweni.

Izizinda ezibalulekile ze-ANC, okuhlanganisa iRichmond esifundeni uMgungundlovu, isifunda iMoses Mabhida, iLembe, nezinye eziningi, ziwele kuMK. Ukwengeza, i-MK isingene kakhulu ezindaweni ze-IFP njengaseMsinga, eXobho, nezinye izifunda ezisenyakatho neZululand.

Ukuphumelela kwe-MK kudalwe kakhulu yimizamo kaJacob Zuma ngemuva, ukuxhumana nabaholi bendabuko nokuthola ukwesekwa abantu abaqavile njengoMntwana wakwaZulu uMandlakapheli Zulu.

“UZuma wenze umsebenzi omningi waya emakhosini, emakhosini waphinde waba noMntwana kaZulu uMandlakapheli Zulu. MK Party. Lesi sisekelo sokwesekwa sisize uMK,” kuchaza umholi ovelele weMK eKZN, uVisvin Redddy.

Ukunqoba kwaleli qembu ezifundeni zasemakhaya nasemadolobheni yonkana i-KZN kugcizelela iqhaza lepolitiki yokuzazisa empumelelweni yalo. Kwabaningi abavoti baseKZN, ukweseka uMK bekubonwa njengendlela yokuvikela izimfuno zikaZulu nokuzwakalisa ukungeneliseki ngendlela i-ANC ephethe ngayo owayengumengameli uJacob Zuma, ohola iqembu le-MK.

Amaqembu aphikisayo eKZN aphendule ngemibono ehlukene ngempumelelo yeMK. Abaningi bathi ukuhlulwa kwabo kungenxa yezinkinga zangaphakathi kuKhongolose.

“Yebo sizizwa sihluliwe, kodwa sizokwamukela intando yabantu imiphumela. Senze konke ngobuntu kulo mkhankaso wokhetho kodwa kuyikho. Kodwa kufanele siwuhloniphe umphumela futhi sizimisele ukungena ezingxoxweni zokusebenzisana nanoma yiliphi iqembu ukuze kuthuthukiswe izimpilo zabantu eKZN,” kusho uSihlalo we-EFF eKZN, uMongezi Twala.

Nokho umholi weDA eKZN, uMnuz Francois Rogers, uxwayise iMK ngokubungaza kungakabi yisikhathi inqoba ngamalengiso.

“Uma i-MK icabanga ukuthi ibheke ekubeni ningi eKZN, ihlezi endaweni yala la. Sibikezela ukuthi bazothatha amavoti angu-32% ngakho siphokophele kumfelandawonye e-KZN. Impumelelo ye-MK kumele ibekwe ngqo emnyango we-ANC eholwa ngamaqembu futhi lokhu kungumphumela,” kusho uRogers.

Ukuvuka kuka-MK kuphawuleka kakhulu uma kubhekwa ubuholi babo kanye nezinselelo zomthetho zakamuva, okuhlanganisa nokuhoxiswa kwakhe uZuma ekungeneleleni umbango ngenxa yesigwebo sakhe. Phezu kwalezi zihibe kodwa leli qembu seliqhamuke linamandla amakhulu eKZN futhi lizimisele ngokuthola indawo yesithathu kuzwelonke.

“Ngidinga ukulala kancane kodwa i-adrenalin isekhona. Sizithobile, kuyisiqalo esithembisayo seqembu elincane kodwa umsebenzi wangempela wokuguqula izimpilo uyaqala manje,” kusho uMnuz Muzi Ntshingila, inhloko yokhetho kuMK (41).
