Indima yeSilo kwezombusazwe

hlela

Ngokuvuleka kwesikhala ngenxa yobondlululo ngonyaka wezi-1990, iSilo sabe silokhu sidonswe njalo sidonselwa kwezombangazwe. Iqembu le-Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) elinamalunga angamaZulu kakhulu laphikisana nezingxenye zomthethosisekelo omusha ezazikhuthazwa yi-African National Congress (ANC) maqondana nokubuswa kwaKwaZulu. Ikakhulukazi, i-IFP yakhankasela ukuzimela kweSilo samaZulu. Ngenxa yalokho, i-IFP yakunqaba ukuba ingxenye yamaqembu ayezongenela ukhetho lonyaka ka-1994 kwaze kwaba iSilo siyafakwa emthethweni sisekelo omusha ngaphansi kwentando yeningi. UMandela nomongameli uDe Klerk bahlela umhlangano okhethekile lapho kwavunyelwana khona ukuthi abalamuli bamazwe omhlaba bazobizwa bazame ukuxazulula inkinga yeSilo. Ngenxa yalokho, i-IFP yabhaliswa okhethweni. Yabonisa amandla ayo ezombusazwe ngokuthatha iningi lamavoti esifundazweni saKwaZulu-Natal kulolo khetho.

Nakuba umthetho-sisekelo wenza iqhaza leSilo libe ngukuhlonishwa, kepha kungumthwalo waso iSilo ukuthatha izinyathelo ngezwe ngeseluleko sikaNdunankulu wesifundazwe (Premier). Ngesinye isikhathi, owayenguMongameli waseNingizimu Afrika UNelson Mandela wenza imizamo yokweqa iqembu le-IFP elaliphethe isifundazwe ekuxoxisaneni neSilo samaZulu, esikhundleni sokwenza izicelo eziqondile kwiSilo (indodakazi kaMandela, UZeni, ishadele iNkosana Thumbumuzi Dlamini, umfowabo weNdlovukazi yeSilo uZwelithini, INdlovukazi Mantfombi).[5]Noma kunjalo, i-IFP yahlala ibusa kulesi sifundazwe kwaze kwaba ngo-2003.

Ekubuseni kweSilo uBhusha neSilo uZwelithini, uMntwana Mangosuthu Buthelezi, iNkosana yaseKwaPhindangene, yabanguNdunankulu wesizwe samaZulu. Kodwa, ngo-September 1994, ukungezwani phakathi kweSilo noMntwana wakwaPhindangene kwafinyelela kuvuthondaba emkhosini waminyaka yonke wokugubha ukukhothama kweLembe.

Ngokulandelayo, umkhulumeli weSilo, uMntana Sifiso Zulu, wayexoxisana nabakamabonakube lapho uButhelezi nonogada bakhe baphazamisa uhlelo ngenkani, besabisa uMntwana uSifiso. Lesi sigameko sasitholakala kuthelevishini futhi sadonsa ukunakwa kuzwelonke kanye nokusolwa komphakathi, okwenza ukuthi uButhelezi axolise emndenini wasebukhosini bakwaZulu, kwikhabhinethi nasesizweni sonkana ngokuziphatha kwakhe.[6] Ukuzwana phakathi kweSilo uZwelithini noMntwana uButhelezi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi babesebubangcono.

ISilo uZwelithini sabambisana njengoba umthetho udinga ne-ANC selokhu yathatha izintambo zikahulumeni kwaKwaZulu-Natal. Izimali zeNkosi zilawulwa iziphathimandla zesifundazwe saseKwaZulu-Natal.

Enkulumweni yakhe lapho kuvulwa iPhalamende Lesifundazwe ngo-28 September 2003, iSilo seluleka uhulumeni kanye nabashayi-mthetho ukuba banikeze ukunakekela okwengeziwe kubukhosi:

"Abaholi bendabuko isikhathi esiningi akuxoxwa nabo uma kwakhiwa izinqubomgomo ezihlobene nokwenza umsebenzi wabo wansuku zonke. Isisekelo sobukhosi besilokhu sikhona kusukela esikhathini esingaziwa futhi sisinde ezinhluphekweni eziningi ngaphansi kwemibuso yamakoloni yangaphambilini. Ngokombono kwezakhamuzi, liselikhulu kakhulu iqhaza elibanjwe ekwakheni ubumbano emphakathini lapho abantu behlala khona. Ngakho-ke nanoma yimuphi umqondo wokuthi ukusungulwa kobukhosi, manje njengoba sinohulumeni wentando yeningi, akuqedwe ngabo kuyichilo. Amanye amazwe angaphandle kwemingcele yethu ayenqume ukuqeda ukusungulwa kobuholi bendabuko ngokushesha ngemuva kokuthola inkululeko kumbuso wabacindezeli. Kodwa-ke, kusukela lapho baye baqaphela ukuthi benza amaphutha amakhulu futhi manje base besungula kabusha lezi zikhungo ngezindleko ezinkulu. NjengeNkosi yeSizwe samaZulu Ngiyaziqhenya ngendima edlalwe nguNdunankulu weSizwe samaZulu, iNkosana yaKwaPhindangene, uDkt. MG Buthelezi owayekade esekela yedwa inhloso ukungaqedwa kwamakhosi kanye nezikhungo zawo."[7]
