Umhlali kwilifa lebhunga elikufutshane ubukele umsi ophuma eGrenfell Tower nge-14 kaJuni 2017 kwintshona yeLondon. Umlilo omkhulu ugqobhoze izindlu ezinemigangatho engama-27, uvalele abahlali ngaphakathi njengoko abacimi-mlilo abangama-200 balwa nomlilo. Amapolisa kunye neenkonzo zomlilo zizamile ukukhupha ibhloko yekhonkrithi kwaye bathi uninzi lwabantu luyanyangezelwa uluhlu lokonzakala, kubandakanya ubuncinci isibini sokungenisa umsi.UDaniel Leal-Olivas / AFP / Getty Izithombe
Ngubani ongakhange ashukunyiswe zizinto ezibuhlungu namhlanje eLondon, njengoko umlilo utshise i-Grenfell Tower enemigangatho engama-24 ngelixa amakhulu elele ngaphakathi? USodolophu waseLondon, uSadiq Khan, wayenomsindo ngokuqinisekileyo, hayi kuba abahlali babelumkise abasemagunyeni ngentambo eyi-10 yezigidi eyakha ukulungiswa kwesi sakhiwo.
UKhan uthathe umbono-ngokuchanekileyo ngokoluvo lwam-ukuba ezi ntlobo zemililo emikhulu azinakuphepheka. Kunqabile ukuba zenzeke eBritane ngenxa yemithetho yethu enzima yomlilo kwaye ayimanga kwizakhiwo ezihambelana nayo yonke loo mithetho.
Kodwa ngelixa uKhan engacingi ukuba imililo yinxalenye yobomi eLondon, ucinga ukuba ubunqolobi yinto ekufuneka siyamkele. Kunyaka ophelileyo wacatshulwa esithi uloyiko lwaluyinxalenye yokuhlala kwesi sixeko sikhulu.
UMongameli uDonald Trump wayephakathi kwabo bathatha izimvo zakhe njengobungqina bokuba ngandlel 'ithile wayengumxhasi wobunqolobi -kodwa babephazama ngokwenza njalo. USadiq Khan mbi kakhulu kunoko. Uyazi ukuba ukufuduka kwabantu abaninzi kubangela uxinzelelo lwentlalo olukhokelela kubunqolobi, kodwa uyakholelwa ukuba lixabiso ekufuneka ihlawule iBritane ukulandela iphupha lakhe elinamasiko amaninzi.
Zombini imililo emikhulu kunye nobunqolobi bunokuphetshwa, kodwa ukuze wenze oko kuya kufuneka uqaphele ukuba ungabumisa njani. Indlela yokumisa umlilo kukufaka ii-alam ezifanelekileyo, ucango lomlilo kunye nezitshizi. Indlela yokuphepha ubugrogrisi bokumisa amadoda amadala asemkhosini ukuba eze kwilizwe lakho evela kwimimandla yemfazwe ezala ubuhlanga.
Imigaqo-nkqubo yokufudukela kwelizwe kutheni iPoland neHungary zingakhange zibekho kuhlaselwa kumashumi eminyaka.
USadiq Khan uyakwazi ukubuphelisa ubunqolobi, kodwa akangekhe. Ukulungele ukuhlawula ukufuduka ngegazi labavoti bakhe, kwaye ndiyacinga ukuba akaphulukani nobuthongo obuninzi ngokwenza njalo.
Ngubani ke onobungozi ngakumbi? Ngaba ngumgrogrisi omnye oneemela ezimbalwa? Okanye uSodolophu waseLondon, ofuna umgaqo-nkqubo ovulekileyo kubanqolobi bangaphandle? Eyokuqala kwezi inokuba ngunobangela wokusweleka kwabantu abaninzi. Eyesibini inokudala ngokulula imfazwe yamakhaya, ixabise ubomi bamawakawaka.
Ubunqolobi yinxalenye yesiqendu sokuhlala kwisixeko esikhulu ukuba ukhetha ukwenza njalo. Kutheni uzikhathaza ngokulahla incwadi ebantwini abophula imigaqo yomlilo kuphela ukungahoyi abo bangazukukusikhusela kubunqolobi? Ngaba ndicinga ukuba oku kuhanahanisa kundenza ndikhuseleke ngakumbi?
Ithemba lam lelokuba, ngenye imini, iLondon izakuvuka kule nyani kwaye ithumele izimvo zikaSadiq Khan kwezopolitiko kwi-dustbin yembali yase-Bhritane.
UAndre Walker ngumbhaleli wolwamkelo egubungela umsebenzi wePalamente yase-Bhritane kunye nenkulumbuso. Phambi kokuba afunde ubuntatheli kwiYunivesithi yaseLondon wasebenza njengomsebenzi wezopolitiko iminyaka eli-15. Ungamlandela kwi-Twitter @andrejpwalker
