I-Twin Otter eyaphahlazeka kwiintaba ezinzima zika-Owen Stanley zadala intlekele eyothuse abantu base-Australia yaza yabenza buhlungu abantu abaninzi basePapua New Guinea.
Ukuphulukana nobomi be-13 kubuhlungu kuyo nayiphi na imeko. Inqwelomoya yayijolise ekuziseni impumelelo ebumba ubomi kwabaninzi kwinqwelomoya.
I-Kokoda Track ligama eliye lithande ukugqwesa iimvakalelo zabantu base-Australia. Itsala malunga nama-6000 abakhweli abahambahambayo minyaka le, abantu abadala nabancinci, abamhlophe nabamnyama, abanamava abahambahambayo kunye nama-rookies, abatsalwa ekubuyiseleni amava amajoni emfazwe.
Iphantse yachukumisa iAussies njengeGallipoli, elinye ibala ledabi elinogazi lemfazwe yangaphambili. I-Gallipoli likhadi elikhulu lokuzoba kwaye liphantse libe yi-icon yezokhenketho, kodwa i-Kokoda iye yaba ngumtsalane onamandla ngokuthe ngcembe kubantu base-Australia nakwabanye abazaliswe bubugorha bamajoni angexesha elithile awaphoswa edabini engenawo amava ehlathi elishinyeneyo.
Ubugorha babo babukhutshiswana nobo bama-scouts basePapua New Guinean kunye nabathwali ababethe, ubukhulu becala, baxinzelelene kwimisetyenzana yamalungu omzimba yokunyuka nokuhla ezintabeni.
Ingozi yenqwelomoya yangoLwesibini iza kuphandwa kakuhle. I-Australia ithumele iqela labane ukuya kuncedisa amagosa ethu ekuhloleni ingozi.
Sele kukho imibuzo evelayo kwiingqondo zaseOstreliya malunga nokhuseleko jikelele lwemigangatho yethu yophapho. Akunakubakho umdlalo wokutyhola malunga nengozi yangoLwesibini kweli nqanaba, kusekude kakhulu ukugxeka umatshini, abantu okanye izinto.
Kodwa inqwelomoya yethu “ithambo elikwikhabhathi” kukungahoywa ngabasemagunyeni ngesidingo sokwenza uphando olululo lwengozi yeenqwelomoya ezili-19 ukusukela ngonyaka wama-2000.
Kubonakala ngathi uninzi lwezo ngozi khange ziphandwe, kuba oorhulumente bethu bengavumelanga mali yaneleyo ukuba kwenziwe uphando. Iziko elitsha lasekwa kulo nyaka uphelileyo elinamalungu aliqela aneziqinisekiso ukuze aqalise umsebenzi wokujonga ezo ngozi zangaphambili. Kuncinci kakhulu esikuvileyo oko kwathi kwasungulwa lo mbutho.
Singaqiniseka ukuba iintsapho nezalamane zabakhweli nabasebenzi ababhubhileyo kwingozi yeTwin Otter kule veki bayakufuna ukwazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni kwesi siganeko.
Kuya kufuneka sibe nethemba lokuba ukuba semkhankasweni wesi sizathu sombre kuya kuqinisekisa ukuba uRhulumente uza kuluxhasa ngemali uphando kwaye aqinisekise ukuba ukusilela okunje akunakwenzeka kwakhona. Ilizwe lethu lixhomekeke kakhulu kwizithuthi zomoya kangangokuba asinakukwazi ukuvumela abezopolitiko batyeshele ukhuseleko lwethu lokuhamba.
Sinethemba
