UMKHAKHA WEZEMFUNDO

UCWANINGO LUSEBENZA
Umoya wangale kwempucuko, ukuqonda okufundileyo nokunobufakazi

Inyuvesi yakwaZulu-Natali ibikhombisa ngocwaningo ngosuku olwandulela usuku lomhlaba wonke lwengculazi. Izinkulumo nezingxoxo zethula izihloko zocwanigo nezinhlelo phakathi kweminyango ethile eNyuvesi. Ucwaningo lwesayensi yomphakathi nolwemithi nokwelapha lwethula kanye nezinto zezepolitiki yomphakathi nezemithetho ezibalulekile.

Enkulumeni yosuku esihloko sayo sithi “isandulela ngculazi nengculazi, isayensi, itechnology kanye nokusungula – izinto ekuxazululeni inkinga”, u Dokotela Adi Paterson wakhuluma ngamazinga okwenza ucwaningo nokulashwa kwabaguliswa yingculazi. Ekhuluma ngemiphumela yengculazi kwezenhlalo udokotela Peterson wabuza ngezinto eziqguqguzela ukuba nokukhetha amagama ekutholakaleni kokwelashwa. Isibonelo kwaba ukupakishwa kwemithi yengculazi ukuvikela ubuniniyo bezinkampani okwenza kube nzima ukunika isiguli iphilisi elilodwa elinazozonke izinto. Udokotela Peterson waphakamisa ukuthi kube nezindlela ezikhetha isiguli ukuze kutholakale imithi ngokulingana. Kuyaxhumana-ke nenkulumo mpikiswano emayelana namanani okudayisa nokunikwa kwemithi eNingizimu Afrika.

Ekhuluma ngokwehlukana ngakwelinye icala, udokotela Peterson wachithela phansi umoya wangale kwempucuko owenza wonke amazwi alingane ocwaningweni nasentuthukweni. Ngesikhathi evuma inkinga yokulalela nokuxoxisana namazwi ahlukene, udokotela Peterson wagqugquzela ukuqonda okunobufakazi, ukuze kulwisane nokuphatha kkwpolitiki okuthi isayensi ingamela ukuxhumana okuvalelekile.
Ngokuchitha “isayensi kufanele ixhumane”, wagqugquzela ososayensi kuyo yonke imikhakha ukuthi bamukele umoya wokuyaleza owandisa ukufunyelela olwazini ngokulingana, bese kuba nezwi elinolwazi. Ikakhulukazi waphakamisa ukuchithwa ukwanda kwemiyalezo yebesilisa ekhiqizwa emibhaleni yengculazi.

Emoyeni wokubambisana udokotela Peterson wanxusa ososayensi ukuthi balwisane nemibono ebeka uxhaso lwemijovo yomphakathi enkingeni nemijovo yezemithi. Waphakamisa inkulumo mpikiswano nokubuyekezwa kwezinye izinhlobo zokuqonda, udokotela Peterson wabizaososayensi ukuthi basuke ekuchazeni ukuhlanganisa. Waphetha ngokuthi “indima yososayensi ukuthi baqhubeke babuze imibuzo yamandla aphilayo nadlulisekayo.

Ekudingideni lezindaba nababehambele umhlangano, uVicci wagcizelela ukubaluleka kokubambisana, ikakhulukazi ukubambisana okusondelene. Ubudlelwano obusondelene bunamandla okuba izingxenye ezibalulekile zokuhonsa inselelo ezakhiweni ezikhuthaza ukucwasa kanye nobandlululo. Ugxeke umehluko phakathi kwempilo yasemphakathini kanye neyangasese ekhuthaza ukunikwa amathuba emsebenzini, kodwa ikhuthaza ukwephucwa amathuba ekhaya.

Wagqamisa izinhlaka eziyisihlanu ezengamele izinhlelo zaseAfrika eseNingizimu zokuvikela ingculazi azibone ngesikhathi eyilungu laleliqembu. Eziningi zazicwasa ngobulili, zindikindiki ngezobulili noma zicophelela ngezobulili uma kubhekwa injongo yazo. Zimbalwa izinhlelo ezikhuthazayo noma ezikhuthaza ushintsho. Ekusukeni ezimweni lapho abanye “benamandla phezu”, ukuya ezimweni lapho amashoshozela oshintsho “enamandla oku”, waphonsa inselelo kwabebekhona ukuthi basebenzise izindlela zokukhipha imiyalezo ezibhekelela izindlela namasiko ehlukene ezokuziphatha kwezocansi.
U Dkt Ayo Olowalagba, Isekela Nhloko: Ezempilo eThekwini, kanye noJabulile Madondo, uMphathi we eThekwini AIDS programme, wagcizelela ukuzinikela kukahulumeni ezinhlelweni ezikhuthaza ukuthi umphakathi ufinyelele olwazini, ekuqeqeshweni kanye nakwizinsiza.
