Njalo ngoMsombuluko, amadoda aseKhayelitsha ahlangana ukuze axoxe ngodlame olususelwa ebulilini, izidakamizwa kanye nobugebengu. Inhlangano ebizwa ngokuthi Amadoda Qotho ayinayo imali yokusebenza, ngakho amalungu azikhokhela wona izindleko zawo.

ULumkile Sizila wasungula inhlangano Amadoda Qotho ngo-2021. Amadoda aneminyaka engu-18 nangaphezulu ahlangana njalo ngoMsombuluko ukuze axoxe ngodlame, izidakamizwa kanye nobugebengu.

Amalungu akhokha imali yobulungu engu-R50 kanye nomnikelo ongu-R50 kanye ngonyaka, kanti leli qembu alinayo imali noma abaxhasi.

ULumkile Sizila, ovela elokishini laseKhayelitsha eKapa, ​​wasungula inhlangano i-Amadoda Qotho ngo-2021 ngenhloso yokulwa nodlame olususelwa ebulilini (GBV), ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa, ubugebengu kanye nokushoda kwamadoda angaba yizibonelo ezinhle emphakathini.

"Sihlangana namadoda aneminyaka engu-18 nangaphezulu njalo ngoMsombuluko ukuze sixoxe nge-GBV, ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa, ubugebengu, kanye nempilo yamadoda, phakathi kwezinye izinto," kusho uSizila.

Le nhlangano ihlose ukunika amadoda amandla okuba yizakhamuzi ezinesibopho, ezihloniphayo nezibambe iqhaza ekwakheni imiphakathi ephephile nenempilo.

Leli qembu lizikhokhela izindleko zalo zomsebenzi.

"Kwesinye isikhathi sihlela amakamu nohambo lokuhamba ngezinyawo ezindaweni zemvelo sisebenzisa imali yethu ngoba asinayo imali noma abaxhasi, futhi asikwazi ukucela imali ngoba abantu bancike emalini yezibonelelo zikahulumeni kanye nemisebenzi yesikhashana," kusho uSizila.

Amalungu akhokha imali yobulungu engu-R50 kanye nomnikelo ongu-R50 kanye ngonyaka.

"Sisebenzisa le mali ukukhokhela ezinye zezinto esizidingayo ukuze lo msebenzi uphumelele. Asikwazi ukuhlala phansi singenzi lutho ngenxa yokuthi asinayo imali. Senza lokhu ngethemba lokuthi ngelinye ilanga sizothola uxhaso lwezimali," kusho uSizila.

La madoda aphinde avakashele izikole zamabanga aphansi ukuze akhulume ngezingozi zokubandakanyeka ebugebengwini kanye nokuthi umuntu kufanele aziphathe kanjani. "Uma bengenabo abantu abangabalingisa, abafana basengozini yokudonselwa ebugebengwini nakwezinye izinto ezimbi. Sizama ukuvimbela ububi ngaphambi kokuba buqale, futhi njengamadoda, kufanele sivikele imindeni yethu, hhayi ukuthi kube ngenye indlela," kusho uSizila.

UZandile Bokwana, umzali oneminyaka engu-48 ubudala, uyawubonga lo msebenzi.

"Kwesinye isikhathi izingane zethu azisilaleli, ikakhulukazi thina esikhulisa izingane sodwa, ngakho izinhlangano ezinjengalezi zibalulekile ekushintsheni ukuziphatha kwezingane zethu," kusho yena.

ULunga Goqwana, indoda eneminyaka engu-50 ubudala, uthe kudingeka izinhlangano ezivumela amadoda ukuba akhulume ngemizwa yawo ngoba amadoda amaningi ayakwazi ukushintsha.

"Amadoda abhekene nengcindezi enkulu, futhi ayayikhipha ngokwenza izinto ezimbi njengokushaya amakhosikazi awo, izintombi zawo, kanye nezingane zawo.

Ngakho-ke inhlangano enjengale isindisa abantu abaningi ekuhlukunyezweni, kanye namadoda angagcina esejele ngenxa yokwenza ubugebengu obufana nokushaya abesifazane nezingane," kusho yena.

UFuneka Soldaat, isishoshovu, uthe indawo yaseMakhaza eKhayelitsha inezinkinga eziningi ezihlobene nodlame olubhekiswe kwabesifazane nezingane (GBV) kanye nodlame lwasekhaya.

"Siphinde sibe nezigameko zokubulala, kodwa aziningi kangako uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye iziteshi zamaphoyisa lapha eKhayelitsha. Siphinde sibe nenkinga ngabasinde ekuhlukunyezweni abavula amacala bese bewahoxisa kamuva. Izigameko zodlame lwasekhaya kanye ne-GBV zivame ukwenzeka ngezimpelasonto lapho abantu bephuzile," kusho yena.

Uthe izinhlangano ezifana ne-Amadoda Qotho ziletha ushintsho olukhulu emphakathini.

"Zenza umsebenzi omuhle, futhi zibamba iqhaza emihlanganweni yomphakathi (imbizo), lapho zikhuluma khona namalungu omphakathi mayelana ne-GBV, ubugebengu, nezinye izindaba ezibalulekile emphakathini wethu," kusho uSoldaat.
