Ukutyelela ECameroon

KUSENOKWENZEKA ukuba amaBaka—abizwa nangokuba ziiPygmies—yayingabantu bokuqala ukuhlala eCameroon. Emva koko, kwafika amaPhuthukezi ngeminyaka yee-1500. Kumakhulu eminyaka emva koko, amaFulani—amaSilamsi—athimba umntla weCameroon. Namhlanje, i-40 pesenti yabantu baseCameroon ithi ingamaKristu, i-20 pesenti ngamaSilamsi ize enye i-40 pesenti eseleyo ingene kwiicawa zomthonyama zaseAfrika.

Abantu abahlala kwiilali zaseCameroon banobubele. Iindwendwe zingeniswa endlini zize zinikwe amanzi nento esiwa phantsi kwempumlo. Ukungakwamkeli ukutya sisithuko, yaye ukukwamkela kubonisa ukuba uyamxabisa umninimzi.

Incoko uyiqalisa ngokubulisa amalungu entsapho nangokubuza impilo. Kufuneka ude ubuze nangempilo-ntle yezilwanyana! UJoseph ongummi womthonyama waseCameroon uthi: “Xa uvalelisa, akwanelanga ukuthi, ‘Nisale kakuhle.’ Umninimzi udla ngokukukhapha ngencoko. Kuya kuthi ke endleleni, avalelise aze agoduke. Undwendwe olungakhatshwayo lusenokuziva lungamkelekanga.”

Xa besitya, abahlobo badla ngokutyela esityeni esinye—de batye ngezandla ngamanye amaxesha. ECameroon, olu luphawu lomanyano. Ngamanye amaxesha, le nto ide yenziwe xa kuvuselelwa ubuhlobo obuye baphola ngasizathu sithile. Singathi ukutyela esityeni esinye kufana nokuthi, “Ngoku sixolelene.”
