Umfundi oneminyaka engu-10 uwe waquleka esikoleni ngenxa yendlala

Ngaphandle kwempumelelo yeSibonelelo Sezingane, izingane zaseNingizimu Afrika ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyisikhombisa zisengaphansi komugqa wobumpofu bokudla.

NgoMsombuluko, Februwari 17, 2025, kwenzeke isigameko esikhathazayo esikoleni esisendaweni yase-Athlone eKapa, lapho umfundi oneminyaka engu-10 ubudala webanga lesine-4 wawa ekilasini wabe esengeniswa endaweni yabagulayo.

Le ntombazanyana, enesifo sikashukela, itholwe ilele embhedeni wabagulayo ngemuva kokuquleka, okudale ukukhathazeka ngokushesha kwabasebenzi besikole.

Lesi sigameko sicacise ngezinselelo eziqhubekayo abanye abafundi bakulesi sifunda, ikakhulukazi ezithinta ukutholakala kokudla kanye nomthelela wako enhlalakahleni yabo.

Ngesikhathi abasebenzi benakekela ingane, bazamile ukuthola imbangela yokuwa. “Udleni namuhla?” kubuza isisebenzi sigxile esimeni sempilo yomfundi. Udadewabo womfundi obekhona endaweni yesigameko unikeze ulwazi olubalulekile. "Lutho. Namuhla bekungelona ithuba lakhe lokudla isidlo sasemini esikoleni," esho. Lokhu kugqamise umshikashika walo mndeni wokuhlinzeka izingane zawo ngokudla okungaguquki, njengoba lezi zelamani ezihlala nogogo wazo ziphoqeleka ukuthi zishintshane ngokuletha ukudla kwasemini esikoleni ngenxa yenkinga yemali. Isimo esinzima somndeni sigcizelela izindaba ezibanzi zenhlalo-mnotho ezithinta umphakathi.

UBeryl, umabhalane kulesi sikole, wakhuluma ngokwenzeka kwezigameko ezinjalo, enikeza amazwibela amaqiniso abhekana nezingane eziningi ezifunda kulesi sikole. Uchaze ngendlela ajwayele ukubhekana ngayo nezigameko ezifanayo zabafundi abahlangabezana nezinkinga zempilo ngenxa yendlala. “Izingane zihlale zikhala ngokuqaqamba kwesisu uma zitholakale zigula esikoleni. Siyababuza ukuthi badleni kwavela ukuthi bebengenalutho ngayizolo noma ekuseni,” kuchaza uBeryl.

Lesi sikole sesiphenduke isibukeli esizithulele sokungabibikho kokudla phakathi kwabafundi emphakathini. Le phethini eqhubekayo igcizelela isidingo esiphuthumayo sokungenelela nokusekelwa ukuze kubhekwane nezimbangela zokulamba kwezingane futhi kuqinisekiswe ukuthi bonke abafundi bathola ukudla okwanele, ngaleyo ndlela kubavumela ukuba bagxile ezifundweni zabo kanye nempilo enhle iyonke.
