Mwachitsanzo, kale ku South Africa, kunali lamulo loti kumadera ena kuzingokhala anthu akuda okhaokha, kwina azungu okhaokha ndipo kwina anthu a mitundu ina. A Mboni ambiri akukhalabe m’madera oterewa. Choncho mu October 2013, Bungwe Lolamulira linavomereza kuti pakhale pulogalamu yothandiza abale kuti ‘afutukule mitima yawo’ n’kuyamba kudziwana ndi abale osiyanasiyana.

Mipingo yambiri inayamba kuchita zimenezi ndipo ofesi ya nthambi inamva anthu ambiri akuyamikira pulogalamuyi ndipo ena si a Mboni. Mwachitsanzo, m’busa wina ananena kuti: “Si ine wa Mboni, koma ndinganene kuti a Mboninu mumagwira ntchito yolalikira mwadongosolo kwambiri ndipo simusankhana mitundu.” Kodi pulogalamuyi yathandiza bwanji abale ndi alongo?

Koma atalalikira limodzi ndi abalewa komanso kucheza kunyumba zawo, ananena kuti: “Anthuwa ndi ife sitikusiyana.” Choncho itafika nthawi yoti mpingo wachikhosa ulandire anthu amumpingo wachingelezi, iye anakonza chakudya n’kuitana abale ena. Pa abale amene anawaitanawo panali mkulu wina wachizungu. Noma anati: “Ndinasangalala kuona kuti analolera kukhala pakireti.” Pulogalamu imeneyi yathandiza kuti abale ndi alongo a mitundu yosiyana ayambe kugwirizana ndipo akupitiriza kuchita zimenezi.

Kuti tikwanitse kuthandizana pa mavuto ngati amenewa, tiyenera kukhala anthu achifundo. Chifundo chachikulu chingatilimbikitse kuti tikhale anthu okoma mtima.

Umaoneratu kuti anthufe tili pa ubale wapadziko lonse ndipo timagwirizana.”

Sakiko ananenanso kuti: “Kuphunzira Chipwitikizi sikunali kophweka, koma talandira madalitso ambiri chifukwa chochita zimenezi. Tikuthokoza kwambiri Yehova.”​—Werengani Machitidwe 10:34, 35.
