I-PAN South Africa ibiza ukufundiswa kwezenhlalakahle ngokwakheka okuphelele kokudla ngeviki lokudla kwezwe.

Njalo ngonyaka kusukela kumhla weshangalolunye (9) kuya kumhla weshuminahlanu (15) kuMfumfu, kugujwa usuku lukazwelonke Lokudla Okunempilo eNingizimu Afrika, elikhuthazwa uMnyango Wezempilo. Umqondo walo kulonyaka – “Ukudla Okunempilo Kuwo Wonke’ munutu” le timu ihambisana nezinhloso zeZizwe Ezihlangene zokuthuthukisa izimo ezinzile, ekhuthaza izidlo ezihlangabezana nezidingo zomsoco kubantu kuzo zonke izigaba zempilo.Ukubaluleka kwalomkhankaso kusemqondweni wokubhekana nokushoda kokudla okunomsoco kanye nokukhuthaza isizwe esinempilo. Inani elikhulu labantu, kakhulukazi izingane nabesifazane, libhekene nokushoda kokudla okunempilo. Leli sonto lihlose ukusakaza ulwazi ngokubaluleka kokudla okunomsoco ekukhuleni komzimba, ekuthuthukisweni komzimba wokuzivikela, ekuthuthukisweni kwengqondo kanye nempilo iyonke. Iphinde igqamise ukubaluleka kokuvimbela izifo ezihlobene nezindlela zokuphila ezifana nokukhuluphala ngokweqile, isifo sikashukela, kanye nezifo zenhliziyo ngokudla okunempilo.

Lokho esikudlayo nsuku zonke kuthinta amandla ethu omzimba, indlela esicabanga ngayo, kanye nokuzola kwethu ngokomzwelo. Ukudla ngendlela enempilo kusiza ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwethu emsebenzini nasemfundweni, kanti kusinika ithuba lokuthokozela izimpilo zethu ngendlela ephelele. Kodwa-ke, ukudla kwabantu abaningi eNingizimu Afrika kugcwele ukudla neziselo ezinamazinga aphezulu kashukela, usawoti, namafutha agcwele, kuyilapho kudla imifino, izithelo, okusanhlamvu, ifayibha kanye nezakhi ezidingekayo kudla ngokuncane. Kubuye kube nokuya ngokuya kokudla ukudla okucutshunguliwe kunokusebenzisa ukudla okuyimvelo. Okubalulekile, odokotela abaningi bethu abatholi ulwazi olwanele ohlelweni lwemfundo olungabavumela ukuthi bacelekelane ngezidingo zokudla okunomsoco ngesikhathi belulekana.

“Kukhona isikhala esikhulu ohlelweni lwemfundo yezokwelapha, njengoba odokotela bengatholi ukuqeqeshwa okwanele ngokudla okunempilo, ikakhulukazi okunokutshalwa kwezitshalo,” kusho uSolwazi Andrew Robinson, uSihlalo we-PAN South Africa. “Ukudla okunempilo kufanele kufakwe ohlelweni lwezifundo zezokwelapha kuzo zonke izisebenzi zezempilo ukuze bakwazi ukweseka ngokuphelele iziguli zabo ekwamukeleni izindlela zokuphila ezinempilo kanye namaphethini okudla aqhubekayo.”

Ucwaningo olwenziwa yi-PAN yaseNingizimu Afrika ngeZiqondiso Zokudla Ezisekelwe Ekudleni (FBDGs) e-Afrika yonkana lugcizelela isidingo soshintsho. Amaphesenti angama-20 kuphela amazwe ase-Afrika asungule imihlahlandlela kazwelonke yezokudla, nezwe elilodwa nje elikuqaphela ngokusemthethweni ukudla kwemifino. Lokhu kuphambene nokudla okuvamile kwe-Afrika, okusekelwe ezitshalweni kakhulu, okugxile ekudleni okuphelele, izithelo zomdabu, imifino, okusanhlamvu, kanye nemifino, okudliwa ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela imikhiqizo yezilwane. 

“Amazwe ase-Afrika, naphezu kokuba nesiko elicebile lokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni, awanazo iziqondiso ezingokomthetho zokukhuthaza lezi zindlela zokudla,” kunezela uProfesa Robinson. “Iziqondiso zokudla zakha isisekelo sokukhetha ukudla okunempilo, okusimeme, okuhlinzeka ngohlaka lwemfundo esabalele kanye nokuthatha izinqumo unolwazi. Ama-FBDG kazwelonke anethonya elikhulu emikhubeni yokudla yabantu bezwe lawo, njengoba ethinta imikhakha eminingi yomphakathi—kusukela ezikoleni kuya ezikhungweni zezempilo, izinqubo zezolimo kanye nezinqubomgomo zomphakathi.” 

Nakuba emhlabeni wonke sinezinga eliphezulu lokukhuluphala ngokweqile kwezingane kanye nokukhuluphala ngokweqile, siphinde sibe nengane eyodwa kwezine zaseNingizimu Afrika ezineminyaka engaphansi kwemihlanu ehlaselwe ukukhubazeka, isimo sezempilo esibenza bangakwazi ukufinyelela amandla abo aphelele futhi esibenza babe sengozini enkulu yokuba nesifo sikashukela soHlobo 2 futhi ezinye izifo ezihlobene nokudla okunempilo njengabantu abadala. Akuyona nje intsha edinga ukuqwashiswa okwengeziwe ngeziqondiso zaseNingizimu Afrika zokudla okunempilo. Abazali, othisha nabaqashi bonke bazozuza ngokugxila kulezi zimiso zokudla okunempilo kanye nezinzuzo zako: njengokugcina abasebenzi abakhiqizayo benezinsuku ezincishisiwe ezidingekayo zekhefu lokugula. 

Ukukhula okuqhubekayo kokukhuluphala ngokweqile emhlabeni wonke emashumini eminyaka adlule kuyakhathaza kakhulu njengoba kunyuke ngo-14.9% kwabesifazane kanye no-10.8% kwabesilisa. Enye yezinhloso zeSu Likazwelonke Lokuvinjelwa Kwezifo Ezingathathelwana eNingizimu Afrika 2022 – 2027 ukukhuthaza ukudla okunomsoco. Ukudla okunempilo kusiza ukuvikela imiphakathi ekungondlekeni kanye nezifo ezingathathelani ezihlobene nokudla ezifana nesifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo, unhlangothi kanye nomdlavuza. 

Njengoba Isonto Lokudla Okunomsoco liqhakambisa ukubaluleka kokudla okunomsoco, i-PAN yaseNingizimu Afrika inxusa ukuba kuhlanganiswe ukufundisa okuphelele ngokudla okunomsoco ohlelweni lwezifundo zokuqeqeshwa kwezokwelashwa. Lokhu, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kweziqondiso zokudla ezibonisa ifa lezwekazi lokudlulela phambili kwezitshalo, kunamandla okuguqula imiphumela yezempilo futhi kukhuthaze ukusimama kwemvelo.
