Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika baphatheke kabi ngesikhathi owesilisa ezama ukuthumba intombazanyana emini libalele endaweni yokudlela yase-pizza eFlorida eWest Rand eGauteng ngoLwesine mhlaka-10 Septhemba. Ividiyo yokuzama ukuthumba isisabalele ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.
Kule vidiyo, ukulandelana kwezenzakalo okuxakile kubonisa indlela owesilisa agijima ngayo ebheke endaweni yokudlela - abesifazane ababili nengane encane behlezi etafuleni evulandi - owesilisa ube esegxuma phezu kwezinsimbi eqonde entombazaneni encane. Umbamba ekhanda, kodwa omunye wabesifazane ugxumela phezu kwetafula ukuze abambelele enganeni. Kusenjalo, indoda ehlezi etafuleni elingemva kwabesifazane nengane, ishosholoza ibambe umthumbi emqaleni bese imshaya phansi. Abesifazane banengane futhi basuka ngokushesha kulesi simo. Omunye wabesifazane uyabuya (sithatha umama wengane) bese enikeza owayezama ukuthumba impama ngaphambi kokuthi abezokuphepha bamthathe.
Kungani izingane zithunjwa?
Engxoxweni ngesidlo sasekuseni noMartin Bester, Isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo seForensic, uSolwazi Gerhard Labuschagne uthe izibalo ezimayelana nokuthumba eNingizimu Afrika azikhombisi lokho okwenzekayo ngempela. “Incazelo yokushushumbiswa kwezingane ibanzi kakhulu. Abantu benza iphutha lokucabanga ukuthi ukushushumbiswa kwezingane kusho ukuthi kukhona ofuna ukuyisa ingane kwelinye izwe. Ukushushumbiswa kwezingane yinoma yisiphi isikhathi lapho ingane isuswa kwenye indawo iyiswa kwenye ngokungemthetho – kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyosebenza emzini womuntu noma ukushushumbiswa ngokocansi.” Uthe isizathu esivame kakhulu sokuthunjwa kwezingane kungenxa yempi yokugada izingane
Zithini izibalo?
Amaphoyisa aseNingizimu Afrika agcina ukukhipha izibalo zezingane ezidukile ngo-2013 I-Afrika Hlola , lezi zibalo azinembile ngempela ngoba okokuqala, zikhishwe eminyakeni engu-7 edlule, futhi okwesibili, izinombolo zihlanganisa izingane ezilahlekile ezitholakele (ezinye ngemva kwamahora angu-3, ezinye ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa).
Ubani osengozini enkulu?
Umdidiyeli Kazwelonke we Missing Children South Africa , u-Bianca van Aswegen uthi izingane ziduka ngezizathu ezahlukene. “Sibhekana namacala ezingane ezibaleka emakhaya nangenxa yezizathu ezahlukene njengokuhlukunyezwa kodwa intsha isemathubeni amaningi okuthi ibaleke kunezingane ezincane. Siphinde sibhekane namacala lapho izingane zithunjwa noma ziyiswe ngenjongo yokushushumbiswa abantu, ukuthunjwa kwemindeni, ukuthunjwa okungosomathuba kanye nokushushumbiswa kwabantu.”
Yize noma ngubani esengozini yokuthunjwa, u-Bianca uthi izingane ezineminyaka ephakathi kuka-0 - 5-iminyaka yizona ezisengozini kakhulu. "Bancane kakhulu futhi abaziboni izingozi ezikhona noma izingozi abantu abangaba nazo kubo."
Yini ongayenza ukuze ugcine izingane zakho ziphephile?
Kuyethusa ukucabanga ukuthi kufanele sigcine amehlo ethu ethe njo ezinganeni zethu ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi sithathe izinyathelo zokuphepha ezengeziwe ukuze sizigcine ziphephile - ikakhulukazi lapho siphumile futhi sihamba. Kodwa kuthatha imizuzwana emi-2 ukuthi ingane inyamalale.
“Gqokisa izingane ezincane izingubo ezinemibala egqamile uma ziya ezindaweni zomphakathi noma ezinxanxatheleni zezitolo ukuze zibonakale kalula futhi zigqame esixukwini. Ungalokothi uvumele ingane encane iphume kusayithi lakho. Izingane ziyathanda ukwazi futhi zivame ukuzibuza zizodwa. Kuthatha imizuzwana emi-2 ukuthi leyo ngane inyamalale,” kusho u-Bianca.
Missing Children South Africa ikhuthaza abazali ukuthi balandele la macebiso okuphepha ukuze benze iNingizimu Afrika ibe indawo ephephile yezingane zethu:
- Fundisa izingane zakho ukuthi ngisho nabantu ezibaziyo bangazama ukuzilimaza, ngakho-ke kufanele bakutshele uma elinye ilungu lomndeni noma umngane womndeni wenza okuthile okubenza bazizwe kabi noma bangakhululeki. Bafundise ukuthi akekho ovunyelwe ukuthinta umzimba wabo.
- Yazi ukuthi ingane yakho ikuphi ngaso sonke isikhathi, inobani futhi igqokeni.
- Njalo gcina isithombe sakamuva sengane yakho nawe ukuze usenze sitholakale esimweni esiphuthumayo.
- Fundisa ingane yakho igama layo nekheli kanye negama nenombolo yakho.
- Fundisa ingane yakho ukuthi ingahambi nanoma ubani ngaphandle kwakho noma umuntu omnakekelayo.
- Uma unengane enezidingo ezikhethekile, mtholele isongo elinezinombolo zokuxhumana eziphuthumayo kwisongo.
- Fundisa ingane yakho ukuthi ingalokothi ingene emotweni nomuntu angamazi, nganoma yisiphi isizathu.
- Yazisa ingane yakho ukuthi kulungile ukuziphatha 'kubi', ukuluma, ukukhahlela, uzipho kanye nokuklabalasa lapho othile eyibamba. Fundisa ingane yakho ukuthi “Angimazi. Ufuna ukungithatha!” Lokhu ngokuvamile kuzomethusa umuntu ozama ukuthatha ingane yakho.
- Fundisa ingane yakho ukuthi ingavuli muntu umnyango.
- Yazisa ingane yakho ukuthi akudingeki ikhulume nabantu abangabazi. Kufanele bame buqamama nomuntu futhi uma ingxoxo ithatha isikhathi esingaphezu kwemizuzwana emi-5 – 7, kufanele bahambe bakuthole. Bakhombise ukuthi ibanga eliphephile libukeka kanjani.
