Nyanga zonke, amajaji aseNingizimu Korea abhekana nesimo esifanayo. Kuba nensizwa eyiswa enkantolo ngoba yenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza, futhi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izimo zayo ziyini, ijaji likhipha isinqumo sokuba igqunywe ejele izinyanga ezingu-18. Kwesinye sezinqumo elasikhipha ngokuqondene nothile owayenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza, iJaji uYoung-sik Kim lathi: “Amajaji awakholelwa ukuthi abantu abenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza ‘bayizeqa-mthetho.’” Le ndlela ayezizwa ngayo yamenza wabheka umthetho obekelwe abantu abenqaba ukubuthelwa empini njengoyisigwebo kulabo abenqaba ngenxa kanembeza.

INingizimu Korea iyenqaba ukuqaphela ilungelo lokwenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza futhi ayivumeli muntu ukuba enze umsebenzi ohlukile wokukhonza umphakathi. Amajaji aseNingizimu Korea awakwazi ukuzigwema lezi zimo ezinzima ezilokhu zivela futhi kumelwe agwebe abantu abenqaba ngenxa kanembeza njengabayizephula-mthetho. Ayazi nokuthi iKomiti YeNhlangano Yezizwe Yamalungelo Abantu ikhiphe isinqumo emacaleni amaningana—amacala ahilela izinsizwa ezingu-501—sokuthi iNingizimu Korea ayizifezi izibopho zokuhlonishwa kwamalungelo abantu ayisisekelo ngokumangalela nangokubafaka ejele labo abenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza. Ngenxa yalokho, inani elandayo lamajaji lizama ukulwa nonembeza lapho ligweba izinsizwa ezingamaKristu onembeza wazo ungazivumeli ukuba ziye empini.

Njengamanje, amajaji ayisithupha ezinkantolo zesifunda athumele amacala okwenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza eNkantolo Yomthetho-sisekelo YaseNingizimu Korea, nakuba iNkantolo Yomthetho-sisekelo inqume ngo-2011 ukuthi umthetho wokuya empini uyingxenye yomthetho-sisekelo. Izinqumo zala majaji ziphakamise nezinye izinkinga.

• Indlela okungaxazululwa ngayo le ndaba

  “Uma iNkantolo Yomthetho-sisekelo ithi lolu hlobo lwecala lumelene noMthetho-sisekelo, igatsha eliqondisayo neSishaya-mthetho Sikazwelonke kungakwazi ukucabangela ukulondeka kwezwe, inkululeko kanembeza nemithetho eqaphela ilungelo lomuntu lokwenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza, ngesikhathi esifanayo ube uqinisa ezokuphepha zezwe.”–IJaji uYoung-sik Kim, eNkantolo Yesifunda YaseNingizimu Seoul, ngo-July 9, 2013, 2013Chogi641.

  “Ngeke balahlekelwe amasosha abo futhi ezokulondeka zezwe ngeke zithinteke uma nje kungase kuhlelwe kahle futhi kusetshenziswe isimiso sezinye izinkonzo zomphakathi ukuze kugwenywe ukubuthelwa empini ngenxa yokwenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza.”–IJaji uSeong-bok Lee, eNkantolo Yesifunda YaseMpumalanga Seoul, ngo-February 20, 2014, 2014Chogi30.

Yini ezonqunywa iNkantolo Yomthetho-sisekelo ngala macala? Ingabe iNkantolo ephakeme yaseNingizimu Korea iyoliqaphela ilungelo lokwenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza, okuyoholela ekumisweni komthetho omusha? Uma yenza kanjalo, iyobe ihlonipha izibopho zayo, uMthetho-sisekelo wayo nonembeza babaningi—okuyolethela izinsizwa eziningi eziboshwa ngokungafanele inkululeko.
