Uhulumeni Wobumbano Lwesizwe (i-GNU) ubeke ukukhula komnotho okubandakanya wonke umuntu, wehlisa ubumpofu, futhi wakhe izwe elinekhono njengezinto ezintathu ezibalulekile eziseqhulwini.
UMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa uvule ngokusemthethweni iPhalamende lesikhombisa lokuphatha ngentando yeningi ngoLwesine.
Umcimbi wokuvula ngokusemthethweni, obubanjelwe eCity Hall yaseKapa, uze ngemuva kwengqungquthela yeKhabhinethi yezinsuku ezimbili, lapho izikhulu zikazwelonke zazihlangene khona ukuze kwakhiwe i-ajenda yenqubomgomo kazwelonke.
URamaphosa uthe i-GNU ivumelana ngokugcwele ngokuthi ukukhula komnotho okubandakanya bonke abantu kumele kube seqhulwini ezinhlelweni zezwe.
“Isipiliyoni sethu kule minyaka engu-30 edlule sikhombisile ukuthi uma umnotho wethu ukhula kudaleka amathuba omsebenzi. Uma umnotho wethu unezinkontileka, awekho amathuba omsebenzi futhi ayalahleka. UHulumeni Wobumbano Lwesizwe uzolandela zonke izinyathelo ezinomthelela ekukhuleni komnotho okusimeme, ngokushesha futhi asuse zonke izithiyo ezivimba ukukhula.”
URamaphosa uthe i-GNU yavumelana ngokwabiwa kabusha komcebo, wathi eminyakeni engu-30 iNingizimu Afrika yabusa ngentando yabantu, iNingizimu Afrika isalokhu iyizwe elingalingani kakhulu.
Utshele ukuvulwa kwePhalamende eKapa ukuthi abaphathi besikhombisa bazozama ukwakha umnotho obandakanya wonke umuntu.
“Sizimisele ngokuthi ukukhula kumele kufake wonke umuntu. Kumele kube noguquko. Ukukhula okubandakanya wonke umuntu kumele kuqhubekisele phambili ukwabiwa kabusha komcebo namathuba. Kumele isekele ukufukulwa kwabantu abamnyama baseNingizimu Afrika kanye nabesifazane, kanye nabo bonke labo esikhathini esidlule ababehliselwe emaphethelweni omnotho. Lokhu kuyingxenye yesibopho somthethosisekelo ukulungisa ukungalingani kwesikhathi esedlule kanye nokubhekana nokuhamba kancane kwentuthuko.”
Abaphathi besikhombisa bafunge ukuthi bazolungisa omasipala bezwe abadonsa kanzima.
URamaphosa uthe ohulumeni basekhaya babhekene nezinkinga ezithinta abantu abaningi baseNingizimu Afrika.
Uthe ukwenza ngcono omasipala kubalulekile ukuze iGNU ifezekise inhloso yayo yokukhuphula umnotho ngokuhlanganisa abantu bonke nokudala amathuba emisebenzi.
“Ukuze sifinyelele ukukhula ngokushesha, okubandakanya wonke umuntu, sidinga ukulungisa omasipala bethu abadonsa kanzima. Ukukhula kwenzeka ezingeni lendawo, lapho abantu behlala futhi besebenza. Omasipala bethu kumele babe ngabahlinzeki bezinsizakalo zezenhlalakahle kanye nabagqugquzeli bokukhula komnotho okubandakanya wonke umuntu. Kumele basebenzele ukuheha abatshalizimali. Le ndlela ingakhuthaza amabhizinisi ukuthi ande futhi adale imisebenzi eminingi ezindaweni zomasipala. Abatshalizimali bahehwa izindawo ezinengqalasizinda ethembekile nesimanje.”
I-GNU iphinde yathembisa ukwandisa isibalo sezinto zokudla ezingakhokhiswa intela elinganiselwa ku-zero (VAT).
Njengamanje iNingizimu Afrika inokudla okuyisisekelo okuyi-19 okungakhokhiswa i-VAT.
Lokhu kubandakanya isinkwa esinsundu, impuphu yommbila, amaqanda, nesitambu, phakathi kokunye.
Udaba lokwandisa ubhasikidi wokudla okungakhokhiswa i-VAT ngenye yezindawo ezimbalwa lapho kwaba nokuvumelana phakathi kweningi lamaqembu ezepolitiki ku-GNU.
