Ukuqamba kumelela enye yezindlela eziyisisekelo kakhulu izakhamuzi ezisebenzisa ngazo amalungelo azo entando yeningi futhi zilolonge inqubo yokushaya umthetho. Ebuthweni lentando yeningi elimelela idemokrasi emhlabeni wonke, isenzo sokufaka ibhola lomthetho sisebenza njengokuhlobana okuyinhloko phakathi kwababuswayo nalabo ababusayo, ukwakha ubudlelwane obubalulekile obuqinisekisa izindinganiso, izidingo, nezifiso zomphakathi. Ukuqonda ubuhlobo obuyinkimbinkimbi phakathi kokuvota negatsha lomthetho kunika izakhamuzi amandla okwenza izinqumo eziqondiswe kakhulu futhi zingene ngokuphumelelayo enqubweni yentando yeningi.

Isisekelo Sentando Yeningi Yabameleli

ISiphakamiso I soMthetho-sisekelo wase-U.S. sinikeza wonke amandla emithetho e-badamal Congress: Indlu yabameleli neSigele esiwumphumela "Wokuhlehla Okukhulu" ukufuna ukulinganisela imiphumela yezenkolo ezithandwayo kanye nezithakazelo zezwe. Lesi sisekelo simisa uhlelo izakhamuzi ezisebenzisa ngalo ithonya lazo ekukhetheni imithetho ngenqubo yokukhetha.

I-United States ngokuyinhloko iyidemokrasi emelela idemokrasi ephethe abavoti abafeza indima engaqondile ekwenzeni imithetho ngokukhetha izishaya-mthetho. Izifundazwe ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu ziye zanezela uhlobo oluthile lwentando yeningi enqubeni yazo, zivumela izakhamuzi ukuba zimise imithetho noma zilungise imithetho ngevoti ethandwayo ngempoqo noma zenqabe umthetho obekwe ngokulandela umthetho owenziwe ngokulandela umthetho. Lesimiso esihlangene sinikeza izakhamuzi ukuba zingaqondisi, futhi kwezinye izifunda, izindlela eziqondile zokuthonya umthetho.

Ngokuvota, izakhamuzi zihlanganyela enqubweni yentando yeningi. Izakhamuzi zivota ukuba abaholi bazimelele futhi bafake imibono yabo, futhi abaholi basekela izithakazelo zezakhamuzi. Lokhu kuvumelana kwakha isisekelo sikahulumeni omelele, lapho izikhulu ezikhethiwe zisebenza khona njengomzila umphakathi ozoguqula khona ube yizenzo zomthetho.

Ukwakhiwa Kwegatsha Elingokomthetho

Isimiso Se - bimeral

Isimiso sethu njengamanje sinikeza igama elithatha iminyaka emibili lehhovisi lamalungu endlu ukusuka ezifundeni ezingu- 435 ezisekelwe kumphakathi. Enkabeni, abavoti bombuso ngamunye bakhetha izimemezelo ezimbili ze-Senator, ezinikeza amagama athatha iminyaka eyisithupha ahambisanayo (njengathi igumbi elilodwa kwamitha emathathu kuphela elikhona ekukhetheni kunoma yisiphi isijikelezo sokukhetha). Lesi simiso esinyakazayo sokukhetha siqinisekisa ukuthi ukusabela komphakathi kulokhu kuvumelana nomzwelo ngokhetho lwendlu oluvamile nangokuzinza ngemithetho yeSigele esinde esinde.

Amagumbi amabili alingana ngokuyisisekelo ezindima zawo zomthetho nemisebenzi. Indlu kuphela engasungula umthetho wenzuzo, futhi iSigele kuphela esiqinisekisa ukumiswa komongameli nezivumelwano ezivumelanayo, kodwa ukumiswa komthetho kudinga ukuba womabili amakamu avumelane ngokuhlukene nesivumelwano esifanayo ngaphambi kokuba asinikeze kuMongameli. Lemfuneko yesivumelwano se-bidaral iveza amaphuzu amaningi lapho ukhetho lwamavoti, njengoba kuboniswa ngabameleli babo abakhethiwe, ingamisa umthetho.

Amandla Nemithwalo Yemfanelo Yebandla

Umsebenzi oyinhloko womthetho womthetho uwukwenza imithetho. Lomthwalo wemfanelo oyinhloko uhlanganisa izinhlobonhlobo zezindawo zenqubo, kusukela ekukhokheleni intela nasekusebenziseni imali kuya ekulondekeni kwesizwe nasenhlalakahleni yomphakathi.

Lokhu kuzinikela ekutholeni ukutholakala kubalulekile ekulondolozeni ukufaneleka nokuphumelela kwentando yeningi yabameleli.

Ukukhuthaza Ithuba Eliqhubekayo

Abanye abantu bakholelwa ukuthi izakhamuzi zinomthwalo wemfanelo wokuhlanganyela. Ukunquma ukuthi kufanele zihlanganyele yini nokuthi singakanani isikhathi sokuhlanganyela kubaluleke. Ukuze wenze izinqumo ezinhle, kumelwe ucabange ngezinto eziningana. Nakuba ukuvota kubaluleke kakhulu, ukubopha phakathi kokhetho kuyaqhubeka, ngokuxhumana phakathi kokhetho (-/ngokuxhumana nabameleli, ukuqulwa kwamacala omphakathi, nokuhlanganyela ekukhetheni ithonya lezinto ezikhethwayo.

Zonke izikhulu zendawo zinesibopho esiyisisekelo sokuqinisekisa ukuthi izakhamuzi zinezindlela zokuhlanganyela ngenkuthalo nangokubaluleka ezindabeni zikahulumeni wendawo. Ngaphandle kokwenza ukuba zitholakale kubantu abazodwa, izikhulu zendawo zingagcina izakhamuzi zaziwa ngezindaba zomphakathi, futhi izakhamuzi zingaveza intando yazo ngenqubo yokukhetha. Le ngxoxo yendlela emibili iqinisa ukuhlobana phakathi kokuvota nemiphumela yomthetho.

Indima Kamongameli Ekubekeni Imithetho

Nakuba lesi sihloko sigxile ngokuyinhloko egatsheni lomthetho, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi ukhetho lukamongameli luthonya kakhulu futhi ukwenza umthetho. UMongameli unethonya enqubweni yemithetho, futhi. UMongameli utusa uhlelo lwemali lwaminyaka yonke lwezinhlangano zikahulumeni futhi uvame ukusikisela umthetho. Mhlawumbe ngokuphawulekayo, amandla omthetho weveto angathinta okuqukethwe yizindleko ezidluliswa yi-Congress.

Njengoba kungavamile ukuba umthetho ubekwe phezu kweveto kamongameli, uMkhandlu kumelwe uthathe isikhundla sikamongameli ezimisweni ezihlongozwayo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi lapho izakhamuzi zivotela umongameli, zithonya futhi inqubo yokushaya umthetho, njengoba inqubo kamongameli yesimiso sokushaya umthetho kanye namandla ehlela ukuthi umthetho ungaba umthetho onjani ngokuphumelelayo.

Isikhulu singasayina isikweleti somthetho noma sisemthethweni. I-veto ingangathintwa yi-projekthi enkulu yemithetho, kuye ngemithetho yokushaya umthetho. Le nqubo iqinisekisa isimiso sokuhlola nokulinganisela, ivimbela ukumiswa kwemithetho okungahlangani. Ukuqonda lokhu kuhlangana phakathi kwamagatsha aphethe ne-province kusiza izakhamuzi ukuba ziqaphele indlela amavoti azo abameleli bobuzwe nomongameli abaklanywe ngayo.

Imibono Eqhathaniswayo: Ukubhala Nokwenza Imithetho Ezimisweni Ezihlukahlukene

Nakuba lesi sihloko sigxile ngokuyinhloko esimisweni sase-U.S., kubaluleke ukuqonda ukuthi ukuvota kuthonya kanjani ukuvota umthetho kwezinye izimiso zentando yeningi. Izimiso zokhetho ezihlukene nezakhiwo zikahulumeni zakha ukuxhumana okungafani phakathi kwamavoti ezakhamuzi nemiphumelo yemithetho.

Izimiso Zasephalamende

Ezimisweni zephalamende, izakhamuzi ngokuvamile zivota amaqembu kunabantu ngabanye abafuna ukumiswa, futhi iqembu noma umfelandawonye onqoba iningi ubumba uhulumeni. Inhloko kahulumeni (isikhonzi esingumholi) ingumholi weqembu elikhulu futhi iyilungu lesishaya-mthetho. Lesimiso singakha ukuhlobana okuqondile phakathi kwemiphumela ekhethweyo nezenzo zomthetho, njengoba iqembu elibusayo ngokuvamile linevoti ezidingekayo ukuze lidlulise uhlelo lwalo lwemithetho.

Nokho, ohulumeni abahlangene — abavamile ezimisweni zephalamende ezimelela ukuhlelwa kwemithetho ngokulinganayo — “‘ ukuxoxisana nokuvumelana phakathi kwamaqembu amaningi, okunganciphisa ithonya lanoma imuphi umphumela wokukhetha owodwa enkantolo.

Ukumelelwa KwaleliGama

Ezinye imibuso yentando yeningi isebenzisa izimiso zokumelela isilinganiso lapho izihlalo zomthetho zabelwa khona amaqembu ngokusekelwe engxenyeni yawo yevoti. Lokhu kungaqinisekisa ukuthi isishayamthetho siveza ngokunembe ngokwengeziwe izinhlobonhlobo zezithandwa zabavoti, njengoba ngisho namalungu amancane engathola ukumelelwa. Nokho, kungaholela futhi ezindlini zomthetho-mthetho ezihlukene lapho kungekho qembu elilodwa elinenani, elifuna ukwakhiwa ngokuhlangene ukuze lidlulise umthetho.

Imishini Eqondile Yentando Yeningi

Kusukela ngawo-2020, iSwitzerland yasebenzisa isimiso esiqinile sama-arendendum, lapho yonke imithetho ehlongozwa uhulumeni icela ukuba ithathe ama-asendium. Izakhamuzi zaseSwitzerland zingaqala khona ukuthatha izinyathelo ezithandwayo, inqubo lapho izakhamuzi zifaka khona inguquko yomthetho-sisekelo noma zihlongoza ukususwa kwelungiselelo elikhona. Noma isiphi isiphakamiso kumelwe samukele isayina sezakhamuzi ezingu-100 000 ukuba ziye kumphathi webhola. Lesimiso sinikeza izakhamuzi ithonya eliqonde kakhulu mayelana nokwenza umthetho kunezimiso ezimelelayo kuphela.

Ikusasa Lethonya Lezakhamuzi Ekwenzeni Imithetho

Njengoba ubuchwepheshe bushintsha futhi kuvela imikhuba yentando yeningi, kuvela amathuba amasha okuba izakhamuzi zithonye inqubo yomthetho.

Ukubusa Ngentando Yeningi Ngezinombolo

Ubuchwepheshe budala izindlela ezintsha zokuhlanganyela kwezakhamuzi enqubweni yomthetho. Iziteshi ze-Online zivumela izakhamuzi ukuba zithintane nabameleli abalula, zihlele imikhankaso yokuthola imvume, futhi zihlele ukwaziswa ngokuphathelene nomthetho osele. Amanye ama-opera azama amathuluzi emishini avumela izakhamuzi ukuba zikhulume ngomthetho ohlongozwayo, zihlanganyele kunoma iliphi ihholo lezindawo futhi zivote ngisho nasemibusweni ethile kuyi-inthanethi.

Ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20 lokuqala, imithombo yezokuxhumana yaholela ezinguqukweni ekuziphatheni kwentando yeningi yokuthatha iziphakamiso. La mapulatifomu aye enza kwaba lula ngezakhamuzi ukuhlela, ukuxoxa ngokwaziswa nokuhlobanisa izindaba zomthetho, okungathuthukisa ithonya lokuvota nezinye izindlela zokuhlanganyela.

Imihlangano yezakhamuzi

Ibizwa futhi ngokuthi ama-tople ezakhamuzi, imihlangano yezakhamuzi amasampula amelela umphakathi ohlangana ukuze wakhe umthetho noma ulule izindikimba zemithetho. Le mikhandlu, ekhetha amaqembu ngokukhetha ngokungakhethi kunokuba ikhethwe, isetshenziswa kwezinye izindawo ukuphelelisa idemokrasi emelela inqubo engokwesiko futhi inikeze ukufakwa okwengeziwe emibuzweni eyinkimbinkimbi.

Ngemva kwenkulumo - mpikiswano, umhlangano wezakhamuzi wasungulwa ngokukhethekile ukuze kuxoxwe ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, "i-Citiyenne ithela lementat" (i-Citizens Convention for CCC), eklanyelwe ukuba isebenze njengendikimba yezenyuswa-mthetho ukuze inqume ukuthi izwe lingayinciphisa kanjani igesi eshisayo eshisayo ngokulunga okungokwenhlalo. Yayinezakhamuzi ezingu- 150 ezikhethwe ngokuhlela nangokuhlela futhi zigunyazwe, ezahlelwa ukuba zibe amaqembu amahlanu angaphansi ukuze zixoxe ngezihloko ngazinye. Ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagamu, umhlangano waveza izinyathelo ezingu-149 ngombiko wephepha, noMongameli Macron ezinikele ekusekeleni i-66. Isibonelo esivela eFrance sibonisa indlela imihlangano yezakhamuzi engawuthinta ngayo umthetho oyinkimbinkimbi.

Ukubona Okukhuliswe

Izimiso zikahulumeni ezivulekile nemikhuba ziqashelwa kabanzi njengezindlela ezibalulekile zokuqinisa idemokrasi nokuqinisa ukuthemba ezinhlanganweni zomphakathi. I-OECD Trust Survey data iqinisekisa ukuthi uhulumeni ovulekile ungumqondisi oyinhloko wethemba lezakhamuzi kuhulumeni wazo. Njengoba ohulumeni beqhubeka bemukela ukubonakala, izakhamuzi ziyoba nokuthola ukwaziswa okungcono ngenqubo yomthetho, okwenza ukuvota nokuhlanganyela okungcono okuphumelelayo.

Izinyathelo Eziwusizo Zokwandisa Ithonya Lezakhamuzi

Ukuqonda ukuhlobana phakathi kokuvota nokwenza imithetho kubalulekile, kodwa izakhamuzi kumelwe futhi zazi indlela yokuhumusha lokho kuqonda kube isenzo esiphumelelayo. Nazi izinyathelo eziwusizo izakhamuzi ezingazenza ukuze zithuthukise ithonya lazo enqubweni yokushaya umthetho:

Ngaphambi Kokukhetha

  • Izikhankaso zicophelela:[ Buka ngalé kohlanganiso lweqembu ukuze uqonde izikhundla eziqondile zesimiso, izinto eziza kuqala zomthetho, kanye namarekhodi emikhondo.
  • Izenzakalo ezihlangene: lezi zenzakalo zinikeza amathuba okuzwa abazoxoxa ngezindaba futhi zibuze imibuzo ngokuqondile.
  • ihlola amarekhodi okuvota:[ Kumthetho ohluphayo, hlola indlela abaye bavota ngayo ezindabeni ezibalulekile kuwe.
  • Cwangcisa iziphakamiso ezigunyazayo: Bheka ukuthi yiziphi izinhlangano nabantu abavumelana nomfundi ngamunye, ngoba lokhu kunganikeza ukuqonda ngezinto eziza kuqala futhi ngokunokwenzeka nendlela yokushaya umthetho.
  • Umbhalisi wokuvota: uqinisekisa ukuthi ubhalisiwe kahle ngaphambi kwenkathi yokhetho futhi uqonda izinqubo zokuvota zikahulumeni wakho.

Phakathi Nokukhetha

  • Ukwetha kunoma yiluphi ukhetho: Okhetho oluyinhloko, ukhetho phakathi kwenkathi, nokhetho lwendawo konke kuthonya ukwakha izindikimba zemithetho futhi ngakho-ke imithetho edluliswayo.
  • Ubeko lwehlisa ibhola: Ungavoti amahhovisi aphezulu eprofile; uhulumeni nolwendawo benza futhi izinqumo ezibalulekile ezithinta ukuphila kwansuku zonke.
  • [ Siza abanye bavote: usiza abangane, umkhaya, nomakhelwane ekufikeni enqulwini yokuvota noma ekuqondeni inqubo yokuvota.
  • [ Ivolunteer yemikhankaso: Abasekela abasekela izindinganiso zakho ezifanayo zingakhulisa ithonya lakho ngalé kwevoti eyodwa.

Phakathi Kokukhetha

  • Hlanganisa abameleli bakho: Batshele ukuma kwakho ekwakheni umthetho osele ukhona. Izingcingo zocingo, ama-imeyili, nezinhlamvu konke kwenza umehluko.
  • Amahholo asemadolobheni agcwele kanye nezindaba zomphakathi:[ Lama-meter anikeza amathuba okukhuluma ngokuqondile nabamisi-mthetho nokuthonya ukucabanga kwabo ezindabeni.
  • Ususe izinhlangano zezempango: usebenza nabanye abazazisayo ngawe bangakhulisa izwi lakho futhi bathuthukise ukuphumelela kwakho.
  • Ungazi lutho:[ Landela izindaba zomthetho futhi uqonde ukuthi yiziphi izikweletu ezicatshangelwayo ezithinta izimpikiswano ozikhathalelayo.
  • Yakha ubuhlobo nezisebenzi zomthetho:[ amalungu abashicileli ngokuvamile anethonya elikhulu ezikhundleni zezishayamthetho futhi angaba abangathintwa ababalulekile ezakhamuzini ezikhathalelayo.
  • ihlola emacaleni:[ Lapho amakomiti equla amacala emithetho athinta wena, cabangela ukunikeza ubufakazi bokuhlanganyela umbono wakho.
  • I-voti yabameleli bakho: Gcina indlela izikhulu zakho ezikhethiwe ezivota ngayo emyalelweni oyinhloko ukuze wenze izinqumo ezinolwazi kukhetho lwesikhathi esizayo.

Indima Ebanzi: Ukuhlanganyela Ebuthweni Lentando Yeningi Nezakhamuzi

Yonke imithetho-mthetho yanamuhla nemithetho eyisisekelo iqukethe futhi imemezele umqondo nesimiso sobukhosi obuthandwayo, okusho ukuthi abantu bawumthombo oyinhloko wamandla omphakathi noma igunya likahulumeni. Umqondo wobukhosi obuthandwayo umane nje uwukuthi emphakathini ohlelelwe isenzo sezombangazwe, intando yabantu bonke iwukuphela kwendinganiso elungile yesenzo sezombangazwe. Ingabhekwa njengengxenye ebalulekile esimisweni sokuhlola nokulinganisela, kanye nedemokrati. Ngakho, abantu banelungelo eliphelele lokuhlanganyela ngokuqondile ngisho nasenqubweni yomthetho womphakathi.

Lesi simiso sobukhosi obuthandwayo sisekela ukuhlobana okukhona phakathi kokuvota nokwenza umthetho. Uma izakhamuzi zivota, azigcini ngokuveza okuthandayo; zisebenzisa ilungelo lazo eliyisisekelo njengomthombo oyinhloko wegunya likahulumeni. Igatsha lemithetho lithola ukufaneleka kwalo ngokuvuma kwababuswayo, okuboniswa ngokhetho oluvamile, olukhululekile nolulungile.

Isimiso sokuhlanganyela emphakathini siphethe ukuthi labo abathonywe yisinqumo banelungelo lokuhileleka enqubweni yokwenza izinqumo. Ukuhlanganyela komphakathi kusikisela ukuthi iminikelo yomphakathi ingathonya imiphumela yokwenza izinqumo. Ukuhlanganyela komphakathi kungabhekwa njengendlela yokunika amandla futhi njengengxenye ebalulekile yokubusa kwentando yeningi. Ukubhakathiza kuyindlela eyisisekelo yalokhu kuhlanganyela, kodwa njengoba sibonile, kuphumelela kakhulu uma kuhlangene nezinye izinhlobo zokuthembisana.

Isiphetho: Umthwalo Wemfanelo Oqhubekayo Wokuba Izakhamuzi

Ukuhlobana phakathi kokuvota negatsha lemithetho kukhulu futhi kuyinkimbinkimbi. Ngokhetho, izakhamuzi zikhetha abantu abazokwenza imithetho ngenxa yazo, benze ukuhlobana okuqondile phakathi kwebhokisi le-colot nencwadi yemithetho. Nokho, lokhu kuhlobana akuzenzakaleli noma akuqinisekisiwe. Kudinga ukuthatha isinyathelo esiqinile, esisekelwe ekuqondeni kwenqubo yomthetho nendlela amavoti azo aguqula ngayo inqubo yemithetho ibe yimiphumela.

Ukwazi ukuthi inqubo yokushaya umthetho isebenza kanjani kanye nezici ezingekho esixukwini noma esikhungweni esifanelekile kuyizinyathelo zokuqala ezibalulekile ekuqondeni nasekuthonyeni ukuziphatha kwemithetho, kungakhathaliseki inqubo yokukhetha noma inqubo kahulumeni. Lolu lwazi lunika izakhamuzi amandla okwenza izinqumo ezihlelekile ngokwengeziwe ngokuthi kufanele zithathe isikhathi nokuthi zingahlanganyela kanjani, zifaka ithonya lazo emiphumeleni yemithetho.

Izakhamuzi eziphumelelayo zidinga okungaphezu nje kokuvota njalo eminyakeni embalwa, zidinga ukuqhubeka zithembisana, zifunda futhi zihlanganyela ngentshiseko enqubweni yentando yeningi. Izakhamuzi kumelwe zihlale zinolwazi ngezindaba zomthetho, zixoxe nabameleli bazo, zihlanganyele ekuqulweni kwecala lomphakathi, futhi ziboshelwe izikhulu ezikhethiwe ngezinqumo zazo zezomthetho.

Izakhamuzi kumelwe zikhulume ezinqumweni ezizithintayo. Ukuhlanganyela okuhlanganisayo nokunemiphumela akuzuzisi inqubo yokwenza uhlelo ngokuhlanganisa imibono ehlukene nokusebenzisa ulwazi oluhlukene, kodwa futhi kuqinisa ukuqonda umphakathi ngemiphumela, ukuthuthukisa isimiso sokuthatha, nokuqinisa ukwethemba ezinhlanganweni zomphakathi. Kubalulekile ekuhleleni izinqubo zokuzihlukanisa nokuzihlukanisa nokuzichaza kangcono ngokuhlanganisa ne-democracy engcono.

Impilo yentando yeningi yabameleli ixhomeke ekuqondeni nasekusebenziseni amandla abo okuthonya igatsha le-wistogist. Uma izakhamuzi zivota, zihlala phakathi nokhetho, futhi zibeke abameleli bazo icala, igatsha lezemithetho lisabela ngokwengeziwe ezidingweni zomphakathi nasezintweni ezithandwayo. Lokhu kudala umjikelezo omuhle lapho ukuhlanganyela okuphumelelayo kuholela ekubusweni okungcono, okukhuthaza khona ukuhlanganyela okwengeziwe.

Njengoba izinselele zokubusa kwentando yeningi ziqhubeka zivela — ukusuka ekulahleni ukuthembela ezinhlanganweni kuya ekuhlanganyeleni ethonyeni lemali kwezombangazwe — isidingo sokuba nesizwe esinolwazi, ukuthembisa ukuba isakhamuzi siba yisici esibucayi ngokwengeziwe. Izakhamuzi eziqonda indlela ukuvota okuhlonyiselwa ngayo kangcono ngayo ukuqondisa lezinselele futhi ziqiniseke ukuthi igatsha lemithetho liyaqhubeka lisabela kubantu elibakhonzayo.

Ekugcineni, ukuhlobana phakathi kokuvota negatsha lemithetho kubonisa isimiso esiyisisekelo sokuthi kubantu ababuswa ngentando yeningi, amandla asuka kubantu. Ngokusebenzisa ilungelo labo lokuvota nokuhlanganyela kwezinye izindlela, izakhamuzi ziqinisekisa ukuthi lesi simiso sihlala singaphezu nje kwento engabonakali elungile, kuba yinto engokoqobo ehlela imithetho sonke esiphila ngaphansi kwayo. Labo abanesithakazelo ekufundeni okwengeziwe ngokuhlanganyela kwezezezwe nangenqubo yomthetho, imithombo itholakala ngezinhlangano ezifana ne- , [[FLT:]], i-CPGUP] ye-CPT [FL:2] yezemfundo yezemfundo yezezwe [FLG][FL:3], kanye [FL:]

Umthwalo wemfanelo wokuba isakhamuzi usaqhubeka, futhi ithuba lokuthonya umthetho ngokuvota nangokuhlanganyela liyilungelo futhi liyilungelo. Ngokuqonda lokhu kuhlobana nokuthatha isinyathelo ekuqondeni, izakhamuzi zingaqinisekisa ukuthi igatsha lemithetho limelela intando yabantu futhi limise imithetho efeza okuhle okufanayo.
