“Uloyiko luyehla phakathi kwabantu bethu abaninzi namhlanje. Uqhankqalazo lwabachasayo aluzange lwenzeke ngaphambili. Ngaba le Zimbabwe siyifunayo? Ukuba nembono eyahlukileyo akuthethi ukuba lutshaba. Kuchaneke ngokuthe ngqo ukuchasana nombono ukuba ukukhanya kuza. Urhulumente wethu ngokuzenzekelayo uphawula nabani na ocinga ngendlela eyahlukileyo njengotshaba lwelizwe: luxhatshazo olo,” batsho ooBhishophu kwiLeta yaBafundisi ekhutshwe ngoLwesihlanu.

Ubunkokeli obugxeka wonke umntu kodwa buqu
Ngokutsho kooBhishophu, iinkokeli zezopolitiko zeli kufuneka zithathe uxanduva ngokupheleleyo kwaye ziyeke ukugxeka abanye ngamashwa elizwe.
“Akucacanga kuthi singooBhishophu benu ukuba iinkokeli zesizwe esinazo zinolwazi, izakhono zentlalo, uzinzo ngokwasemoyeni kunye nentlalontle yokujongana nemiba esijongene nayo sisisizwe. Ekuphela kwento esiyivayo kubo kutyholwa ngobubi bethu kubaphambukeli, ubukoloniyali, abaphambukeli abamhlophe, nabo babizwa ngokuba ngabagxeki bangaphakathi. Ingaba siya kuluthatha nini uxanduva? Ngelixa abamelwane bethu kulo mmandla besomeleza amaziko abo edemokhrasi, sibonakala siwenza buthathaka awethu,” ifundeka ngokuyinxenye iPastoral Letter.

“Xa sijongene namanani akhulayo osulelo lwe-COVID-19, isizwe siguqukela phi? Ekubeni izixhobo eziyimfuneko zinqongophele kwizibhedlele zethu, siphawula ngeentliziyo ezingxwelerhekileyo, ukuba amagosa karhulumente abonakala enePPE (Izixhobo Zokuzikhusela Zobuqu) ngaphezu koonesi noogqirha bethu,” batsho njalo ooBhishophu.
Uqhankqalazo alupheli
“Senza isibongozo esingxamisekileyo soxolo kunye nolwakhiwo lwesizwe ngothethathethwano olubandakanyayo, iingxoxo kunye noxanduva oludibeneyo lwenguqu. Sikwayaqonda ukuba ubhubhani we-COVID-19 uya kusibeka esichengeni semingeni emitsha kwikamva elibonakalayo. Inene, njengoko uJohn Lewis (inkokeli yezopolitiko yase-Afrika yaseMelika kunye nenkokeli yamalungelo oluntu) ebonile, umngcelele awupheli, kodwa xa sibambisene siyakoyisa,” yatsho inkosana yaseZimbabwe.
