Lesiqondiso sinikeza ukucacicici okuphelele, okufinyeleyo kwesakhiwo seNkanto, izinqulu, izinqumo zezemfundo, nendlela ongalandela ngayo umsebenzi wayo.

Umsuka Nesisekelo Somthetho - sisekelo

INkantolo ePhakeme kakhulu yamiswa yiSiphakamiso III soMthetho-sisekelo wase-U.S. esakha igatsha lokwahlulela elihlukene namagatsha emithetho nezikhulu.

Amalunga asebenza izibopho zokuphila konke phakathi nokuziphatha okuhle, incazelo angahlala ebhentshini kuze kube yilapho bethatha umhlalaphansi, beyeka, noma basuswe ekufundiseni. Lokhu kuphila kuhloselwe ukubakhulula ezingcindezini zezombangazwe futhi aqinisekise ukuzimela kokwahlulela.

Inqubo yokuqinisekisa

Ngemva kokuba umongameli eveze umlandeli, iKomiti yeSigele iqungamela iqungamela, lapho ummeli ephendula khona imibuzo ngefilosofi yabo yokwahlulela, izinqumo zesikhathi esidlule, nemibono ezindabeni zomthetho-sisekelo. Ikomiti ivotela ukuthi ingamtusa yini umnyunyana eSigeqeni esigcwele. Inqumo elula (51) iyadingeka ukuze iqinisekiswe. Lenqubo iye yaya ngokuya iqhubeka, futhi abameleli bavame ukubhekana nokucusumbulwa okukhulu nokuphikiswa kwezombangazwe.

Usuku Ekuphileni: Indlela Inkantolo Enquma Ngayo Amacala

Uma icala selimukelwe, abameleli bafaka izikhalo ezibhalwe phansi ezichaza izimpikiswano zabo ezingokomthetho. Inkantolo ibe isihlela izimpikiswano zomlomo, ezivulekelwe umphakathi. Isihlangothi ngasinye sivame ukuba nemizuzu engu [ engu-30 [ yokuveza icala layo nokuphendula imibuzo evela kubahluleli. Imibuzo yamajaji ivame ukuveza izikhalo zabo futhi ingabonisa ukuthi bangavota kanjani.

Ukubhala Ingqungquthela Nombono

Ngemva kwempikiswano edluliselwa ngomlomo, abahluleli bahlangana engqungqutheleni yangasese ukuze baxoxe futhi bavote icala.
