WAKUTHANDA eseyingane ukufunda umholi we-EFF, uNkk Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi osanda kuthweswa iziqu zeMaster of Laws in Labour Studies eNyuvesi yaKwaZulu-Natal.
Utshele Isolezwe ukuthi wangena esikoleni emncane, ngesikhathi umfundi esatshelwa ukuthi akabeke isandla siyofika endlebeni kodwa esakhe sasingafiki.
“Othisha bafike bangibingelela bangibuza nempilo, ngaphendula ngokuthi ngiyaphila singezwa nina. Babona lapho ukuthi sengikulungele ukuqala isikole yize isandla sami sasingafiki endlebeni. Ukufunda yinto engiyithandayo, ngikhulele KwaMaphumulo ngihlala nogogo ngisho kubanda ngingenajezi noma izicathulo zesikole, bengiya esikoleni. Ngangigqoka lokho okukhona ngiyofunda.”
Ubalule ukuthi ubehamba ibanga elide eya esikoleni kodwa lokho bekungamtheni amandla ngenxa yokuthi ungumuntu owomele ulwazi.
“Ngesikhathi sengineminyaka ewu-27 ngaba yikhansela laseMawoti kuMasipala weTheku. Ngabe sengithola ukuthi kunohlelo oluxhasa amakhansela afuna ukufunda. Ngabe sengibhalisela izifundo zami zeBachelor of Arts ngaphasa. Bengiqhubeka ngenza nezinye izifundo zobuholi ngithola izitifiketi. Kuthe sengiyilungu lePhalamende ngijutshwe yi-EFF ngathola ukuthi kunohlelo olufanayo lokuxhasa amalungu ePhalamende afuna ukufunda. Ngabhalisa ngaqala ngezifundo zePostgrad kwi-Industrial Relations engizenze eNyuvesi yaKwaZulu-Natal nenye yePolicy ebengiyenza e-University of Johannesburg.”
Emuva kokuphothula lezi zifundo ube esedlulela kwezeMaster of Laws in Labour Studies lapho ebecwaninga ngesihloko esithi:- The Future of Collective Agreements : A critical review of Public Servants and Association and Others v Minister of Public Service and Administration and Others.
Uthe okumenze wacwaninga ngalesi sihloko wukuthi wayeyinhloko yophiko lwezabasebenzi kwi-EFF kanti bekuthi njalo uma abasebenzi benezinkinga esebuza ezinyunyaneni zabo ukuthi kungani kungenzeki into ethile ekubeni kunesivumelwano bese ethola ukuthi umqashi akasilandeli leso sivumelwano.
Wenze isibonelo sokuthi ngaphansi kwesigaba-33 A somthetho wabasebenzi ophathelene nezivumelwano, umqashi kufanele asihloniphe isivumelwano asenzile kanti uma ephula isivumelwano kufanele ayiswe kwi-bargaining council ukuze asilandele.
Uveze ukuthi izinyunyana nabasebenzi abayi kwi-bargaining council ukuyophoqa umqashi ukuba alandele isivumelwano asisayinile kunalokho baya ezinkantolo ezifike zithi izizathu ezibekwa wumqashi ziyazwakala nokuyinto athe ayiyinhle ohlangothini lwabasebenzi.
Uthe ucwaningo lwakhe luza nezisombululo zalokhu wagqugquzela abasebenzi nezinyunyana ukuba banganqeni ukusebenzisa i-bargaining council.
Ebuzwa ukuthi isikhathi sokufunda usithathaphi njengoba engumholi, umama nonkosikazi, uthe uyasakha ngoba uyakuthanda ukufunda ngakho akalali ngezinye izikhathi ukuze afunde.
Ugqugquzele abaholi ukuba bazithuthukise ngokufunda ngoba ukuya ePhalamende nokubekwa kwezinye izikhundla kuyaphela kodwa imfundo ayiyi ndawo.
“Njengoba sisePhalamende sijutshiwe ngakho kufanele sibe neziqu esizozisebenzisa uma sesingasajutshwanga, kufanele sihlome nangolwazi olusilekelela ukwenza umsebenzi kahle. Ngiyabagqugquzela nabesifazane ukuba bafunde ngoba izingane zidinga ukuthi umama abe nesicucu semfundo ukuze akwazi ukuzinika impilo engcono. Kufanele bathi bekhulisa izingane babe bephusha nemfundo.”
