Kune vanhu vekuZambia, nhamba idzi dzinotaura nyaya iri nyore - tinofanira kuvarega

Musi wa13 Nyamavhuvhu, Zambia yakasarudza zvakare Mutungamiri Hakainde Hichilema semusarudzo wechipiri musarudzo yeruzhinji yakasimbiswa yakazvimirira ichipesana nemagwaro enzvimbo dzekuvhotera dzeveruzhinji. Asi kubva pazuva iroro, vanhu vashoma vanonzi vanotsoropodza statistics vakapararira vachibvunza kuti mhedzisiro yacho ndeyei. Zvakakosha kuti tiongorore zviri kuratidzwa nedata riripo, anonyora Dr Namuunda Mutombo.

Tanga nekuongorora kwakaitwa kuverengwa kwevanhu kubva kunzvimbo dzekuvhotera dzinopfuura 13,000. Mhedzisiro muZambia inonyorwa pamafomu eGen 20, inozadzwa uye inoiswa pachena panzvimbo yega yega yekuvhotera, pamberi pevamiriri vemapato nevacherechedzi, munhu mumwe chete asati aenda chero kupi. Ndiyo nhoroondo yezvakaitika, chiteshi nechiteshi, uye iripo kune chero munhu kuti aongorore kana zvakataurwa. Vacherechedzi vakazvimiririra vakazviongorora. Transparency International Zambia yakaverenga nhamba yayo yakafanana ichienzaniswa nemafomu echikamu chechiteshi uye yakawana kuti yaienzanisa nhamba dzekomisheni yesarudzo kusvika mukati meinenge chikamu chimwe chete muzana. Vacherechedzi veSADC, vachifukidza huwandu hwenzvimbo dzekuvhotera dzavakashanyira, vakashuma maitiro akadzikama uye akarongeka. Hapana kana chimwe chezvizvi chiri komisheni yesarudzo ichiongorora basa rayo. Ipfungwa yekunze, inopesana nepepa revanhu, ichisangana nenhamba imwe chete.

Chimwe chirevo chiri kutaurwa pamusoro apa chakanyanya kuoma: kuti mune dzimwe nzvimbo, vanhu vakawanda vakavhotera mutungamiri kupfuura MP wavo, uye kuti musiyano uyu unofungira. Semuongorori wezvehuwandu hwevanhu, ndinokumbira chero ani zvake ari kutaura izvozvo kuti atange abvisa tsananguro isingawanzoitiki, iyo iri kuenderera mberi, tsika yakanyorwa zvakanaka, mune chero democracy ichiita sarudzo panguva imwe chete, kuti vanhu vanovhota vasiyane muvhoti zvichienderana nekuti vavhoti vanogutsikana sei nerudzi rumwe nerumwe. Basa reongororo rakaburitswa pakutanga kwegore rino (zvinoshamisa kuti nenyanzvi dziri kutaura zvisina kunaka), vasati vavhota kamwe chete, rakatotiudza kuti titarisire maitiro aya pano: kutenderwa kwakasimba kwenyika yemutungamiri wenyika pamwe nekusafara chaiko nenhengo dzeparamende dziripo mumatunhu akati. Kana nzvimbo ye "mukana" ichienderana nekwakanyanya kusagutsikana kwesarudzo, tsananguro iri nyore inowanzova yakarurama. Haisi yekunyengera. Vanhu vekuZambia vanovhotera mutungamiri uye vachipikisa MP masikati iwayo, inova kodzero yavo; uye ndizvo chaizvo zvakafanotaurwa.

Hapana sarudzo, chero kupi, isina ruzha, kunyunyuta, kana kuverengwa kwedata kunopikisa. Izvozvo hazvisi zvisizvo zvekuZambia; ndizvo zvakaita sarudzo muhurumende dzedemocracy pasi rose. Chiyero chinofanira kutongwa nacho mhedzisiro hachisi chekuti nhamba dzese hadzipikiswe, nekuti nechiyero ichocho hapana democracy pasi rose yaizombopfuura. Chiyero ndechekuti maitiro acho akavhurika zvakakwana here, uye pepa richionekwa nevanhu vakawanda zvakakwana, zvekuti gakava rinogona kuongororwa, uye kana richichinja mhedzisiro kana ukaita izvozvo. Pano, havadaro. Kunyangwe kuverenga data kusingafungidzike, kuchitorwa sezvazviri, kunoita kuti kukunda kwemutungamiri wenyika kusaparare.

Ndiko, pakupedzisira, zvakare mutongo wakasvika kune vezvematongerwo enyika. Bato reNational Reconciliation Party for Unity and Progress, bato rinopikisa rakarwa nesimba mumakwikwi uye rakahwina zvigaro zveparamende zvinosvika makumi matanhatu panguva iyi, yagamuchira zviri pamutemo mhedzisiro yacho, vakakorokotedza Mutungamiri Hichilema, uye vakati ikozvino vachatarisa pabasa ravo sekuongorora hurumende kubva mukati meParamende. Ndizvo zvinoita makwikwi edemokrasi anoshanda: mapato anokwikwidza nesimba, ozogamuchira kuverenga otanga kushanda.

Bumbiro remitemo reZambia rinopa nzira yakajeka uye yakaedzwa nehumbowo kune chero mukwikwidzi achiri kuramba mhedzisiro: chikumbiro kumatare, kwete musoro wenyaya. Musuwo iwoyo unoramba wakavhurika. Chisingatsigirwi nedata ipfungwa yekuti mhedzisiro yacho pachayo haina chokwadi. Ndingangokumbira kuti kuoma kwakafanana kwakashandiswa pamagrafu kushandiswe pamhedziso dzakatorwa kubva kwavari.
