Kule minyaka ingama-40 idlulileyo, uSuku loKhenketho lweHlabathi luye lwaqaqambisa amandla okhenketho okuchukumisa phantse yonke indawo yoluntu lwethu. Okwangoku, lo myalezo ubaluleke ngakumbi kunangaphambili.
Umxholo we Usuku lweHlabathi lezoKhenketho 2020 - uKhenketho noPhuhliso lwamaPhandle - ibaluleke ngokukodwa njengoko sijamelene nengxaki engazange ibekho ngaphambili.
Ukhenketho luye lwangqina ukuba luncedo kubantu abaninzi kwiindawo ezisemaphandleni. Nangona kunjalo, amandla ayo okwenyani kusafuneka asetyenziswe ngokupheleleyo. Eli candelo ayingomthombo ophambili nje wengqesho, ngakumbi owasetyhini nolutsha. Ikwabonelela ngamathuba omanyano lwendawo kunye nokubandakanywa kwentlalo nezoqoqosho kwezona ndawo zisemngciphekweni.
Ezokhenketho zinceda uluntu lwasemaphandleni ukuba lubambelele kwilifa lalo eliyingqayizivele kunye nenkcubeko, lixhasa iiprojekthi zolondolozo, kubandakanya nezo zikhusela izilwanyana ezisengozini, izithethe ezilahlekileyo okanye incasa.
The COVID-19 bhubhane lizise ihlabathi ngxi. Icandelo lethu lelona libethwe kakhulu zizigidi zemisebenzi esemngciphekweni.
Njengokuba sijoyina imikhosi yokuqalisa kwakhona ukhenketho, kufuneka sifezekise uxanduva lwethu lokuqinisekisa ukuba izibonelelo zokhenketho zabelwana ngabo bonke.
Le ngxaki lithuba lokucingisisa ngokutsha icandelo lezokhenketho negalelo lalo ebantwini nakwiplanethi; ithuba lokwakha umva ngcono ngokubhekisele kukhenketho oluzinzileyo, olubandakanyayo nolomeleleyo.
Ukubeka uphuhliso lwamaphandle embindini wemigaqo-nkqubo yokhenketho ngokuthi imfundo, utyalo-mali, ezintsha kunye netekhnoloji inokuguqula ubomi bezigidi, igcine okusingqongileyo kunye nenkcubeko yethu.
Njengolona candelo linqamlezileyo, ukhenketho lunegalelo ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo kuyo yonke Iinjongo zoPhuhliso oluPhuhliso (SDGs).
Ukubopha ukhenketho njengomqhubi wophuhliso lwasemaphandleni kuya kugcina uluntu lwehlabathi lusendleleni yokufikelela kwi-Ajenda yowama-2030 yoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo, isicwangciso sethu sokuvelela sabantu kunye nomhlaba.
Njengoko siphawula iminyaka engama-75 yeZizwe eziManyeneyo, lixesha lokuba sizalisekise amandla amakhulu okhenketho, kuquka isakhono salo esisodwa sokuqhuba uphuhliso loluntu lwasemaphandleni, sixhasa isibhambathiso sethu sokungashiyi mntu ngasemva.
