Kanye njengoko iminxeba yokudilizwa kweziko lamapolisa iye yanda kwaye yafudukela kwiindawo eziqhelekileyo, iminxeba yokucinywa kwamatyala eentlobo ngeentlobo kuya kuba nzima ukuba abezopolitiko kunye neenkokeli zingahoyi. Ukuxhathisa amatyala kumatyala awongamileyo kunye netyala lendlu yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yemizabalazo yanamhlanje yemibutho yoluntu. Oku kuquka intshukumo esekwe e-US yokurhoxisa ityala labafundi le-1.5 yetriliyoni, ingcamango ethe yafikelela ekugqibeleni kwibala lonyulo.

Amatyala endlu ayingomcimbi ozimeleyo. Njengoko izinga lokutshona lisanda kumazwe amaninzi kwiminyaka yakutshanje, amatyala aye anxulunyaniswa nokubandezeleka okukhulu kwakunye neziganeko ezibuhlungu ezisusela ekudandathekeni ukusa ekuzibulaleni, ukuthengiswa kwamalungu kabani nogonyamelo olusekelwe kwisini. Njengezinye iindlela zokungalingani kwezoqoqosho, amatyala aneziphumo ezizodwa kubantu abambalwa abacalucalulo abajongene nengxaki enkulu yengqesho nabadla ngokuxhaphaka kwiindlela zokuboleka imali. Ityala libotshelelwe ngokusondeleyo kucalucalulo lwenkqubo, njengoko lizondla kulo kwaye lilondla kwangaxeshanye.

Owam umsebenzi osematyaleni ubuseTelangana, eIndiya, apho ndigxile ekubolekeni imali ngokungekho sikweni kunye namava amatyala obuhlanga, abancinci bamaSilamsi kunye namaDalits. Abantu endiye ndadlana nabo udliwano-ndlebe kunye neentsapho endichithe ixesha kunye nabo baphila phantsi kweemeko ezimaxongo, benemivuzo engazinzanga, bengakhuselwanga ngabasebenzi, kwaye bengalondolozwanga. Imali engekho sikweni nengekho mthethweni ikuphela kokhuseleko lokwenene, njengoko abezemali bebaboleka ngaphandle kwesibambiso kodwa ngenzala ephezulu. Kwezi ntsapho, imeko enye yonxunguphalo—ukufa komyeni, ukugula komntwana—kunokukhokelela ekubeni abe sematyaleni ixesha elide. Ndibone abasetyhini abaninzi besenza umsebenzi oxhaphazayo wesidlo, berhola iisenti ezimbalwa ngeyure, ukuze baqhubeke neentlawulo zabo zenzala. Nangona ityala lingavula iindlela ezithile kunye namathuba obomi kubantu, kumsebenzi wam ndiwubonile ukunyusa uxinzelelo lwesini, ukuqinisa amaziko entlalontle ye-patriarchal, kwaye kubangele ukungqubuzana kwentsapho. Ikwanciphisa ixesha labantu. Xa ukuhlawulwa ngokupheleleyo kwetyala likabani kuba yintelekelelo ekude, imvakalelo yokuba nekamva iyancipha. Nangona kunjalo iintsapho ezininzi ziyaqhubeka nokuthatha imali-mboleko ngethemba lokufumana ikamva elingcono labantwana babo.

Ukuqonda unxibelelwano phakathi kwabanamatyala kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo kakhulu zelizwe kunye nezengingqi kunye nokwakha ubumbano phakathi kwabo kubaluleke kakhulu. Enye yezona nkalo zichuliweyo zokuba namatyala lihlazo eliwenza. Abantu ngabanye badla ngokuzibeka ityala ngokungakwazi ukuhlawula amatyala abo kunokuba bagxeke oorhulumente babo okanye ukungabikho kokusesikweni kwenkqubo yobukapitali ngokwayo. Indlela yamazwe ngamazwe iyakomeleza intshukumo yokumelana namatyala ngokunceda abatyalwayo baqonde iimeko zabo njengenxalenye yemeko yehlabathi ekufuneka iphethulwe hayi ngenxa yokhetho lwabo lomntu ngamnye okanye "iminqweno yabathengi." Ukubona ityala njengemeko ekwabelwana ngayo phantsi kobungxowankulu bezemali belinyathelo elibalulekileyo ekuphuhliseni ingqiqo yezopolitiko yehlabathi jikelele malunga nengqikelelo yobulungisa betyala.

Ukutsalela kuqwalaselo lwam eIndiya nase-US, imigaqo emithathu (ngaphandle kwemininzi enokwenzeka) enxulumeneyo ikhokela indlela endicinga ngayo malunga nobulungisa bamatyala. Okokuqala, ingxaki yamatyala emizi kufuneka isoloko ibotshelelwa kukugxeka okukhulu kobungxowankulu kunye noonobangela abasisiseko bokutshona ematyaleni, njengokunqongophala kwempahla yoluntu kunye nentlalontle yoluntu. Izisombululo ezikwinqanaba lengingqi ezifana neenkqubo zamatyala amancinci anenzala ephantsi kunye nezikim ezisekelwe kwimali ebandakanyayo zinokuwenza lula umthwalo kubatyalwayo nakwiintsapho ezihluphekayo; kodwa bayasilela ukucela umngeni kwiimeko eziqhubela abantu ematyaleni kwasekuqaleni. Ke ngoko, izisombululo ezicetywayo ezexesha elifutshane nezithi ekugqibeleni zivelise ukuxhaphazwa kongxowankulu kufuneka zivunywe njengezinganelanga ngokwemigaqo yobulungisa bamatyala.

Okwesibini, iintshukumo zobulungisa betyala kufuneka zixoxe nabameli bolunye uhlobo lwebhanki kunye nezithethe zoqoqosho ezingezizo eze-hegemonic ezifana nezezimali zamaSilamsi. Lo mva kudala wabuza umkhuba wokubiza inzala, umzekelo. Amatshantliziyo kwesi sithethe axoxisane ngamandla ngentsingiselo yoxhatshazo kumxholo wemali kunye nokuzibandakanya noluntu emhlabeni kumazwe amaninzi. Ukwakha iingxoxo kwiintshukumo ezahlukeneyo kuya kutyebisa incoko malunga nezisombululo zamatyala kwaye komeleze unobangela wokumelana namatyala.

Umgaqo wesithathu okhokelayo ngowokuba imigaqo-nkqubo yehlabathi jikelele malunga nothethathethwano lwamatyala kunye nokucinywa kwayo inqweneleka ngakumbi kunemigaqo-nkqubo evavanyiweyo. Imigaqo-nkqubo esebenza kuphela kwiindidi ezithile zabantu “abafanelekileyo” ayipheleli nje ekufutheni amaziko akhoyo antsonkothileyo kodwa inokungahoyi okanye yandise ukungalingani ngokobuhlanga phakathi kwabatyalwayo. Ngaphaya koko, iindlela ezivavanyiweyo zokuvavanya ziphazamisa kuphela imigaqo yokuziphatha esemngciphekweni, ngelixa iindlela zendalo iphela zibagcina bephambili kunye nombindi wengxoxo. Akukho mntu ufanele ukuchitha ubomi bakhe ehlawula inzala kwimali-mboleko ayithathileyo ukuze asindise ubomi belungu losapho okanye aqhubeke nemfundo okanye ondle abantwana bakhe. Lifikile ixesha lombutho womanyano lwezizwe ngezizwe olubonisa ngokucacileyo unxibelelwano phakathi kwamatyala kunye (nobuhlanga) obungxowankulu kwaye ojolise kubulungisa hayi nje ukukhululeka.
