Kuphando ebesandula ukuliqoshelisa loka Lancaster uxelele iqaqobana labantu ebelikule ngxoxo ukuba eyona nto kufuneka iqondakele kukuba ubundlobongela abuveli bumini. “Ngelixa abantu beqhanqalaza kuzuke kudala bethetha nabo basemagunyeni ukulungisa imeko yabo, ntonje bathi bafumane izithembiso ezingafezekiswayo”, utshilo loka Lancaster nongumphandi weliziko.
Oluphando luye lwaveza ukuba inani lwentshukumo lwehlile ukususela ngonyaka ka 2013 ukuya ku 2015. Nanjengokuba inani lehlile eyona nto luyivezayo uphando yeyokuba ubundlobongela ngexesha loqhaqhalazo lwenyukile.
Loka Lancaster uye wathi ezona zinto zibangela ubundlobongela kukusilela kwenkozo ezingundoqo, indlela abendaba abanomdla kumba lowo, indlela amapolisa athi enze ngayo xa kuqhanqalazwa, ukungathembeki kwabo basemagunyeni kwakunye nabo bazizivutha-mlilo.
“Akukho sizathu sinye esibangela ukuba uqhanqalazo lube nobundlobongela”, utshilo uLizette.
Oluphando luye lwabonakalisa ukuba ikhomishoni yolonyulo iIEC, iye yaba lixhoba lebundlobongela ngexesha lolonyulo. Ngokuka Lancaster ngolonyulo luka zwelonke luka 2014 izitishi zolonyulo zaba lixhoba lobundlobongela.

Ehlomla kuphando loka Sampson uthe iyingxaki into yokuba kujongelwe phantsi abantu abahluphekileyo kwaye intshukumo zabo zichazwe njengezinto ezingenkozo kuphela.
“Lento ithi inike incinga zokuba kufuneka inkonzo zikarhulemente qha ebantwini, ibe ingathethi ngokungalingani nangendlala abantu abajongana nayo imihla ngemihla”, ungxinise esitsho loka Sampson ngomgumfundisi wakwalizwi.
“Eyonga ngxaki sijongene nayo yeyokuba imibutho yezopolitiko iza kuqala kune ndlela ekucingwa ngayo, nezinto abantu abakholelwa kuzo, njengobulungisa ebujoliswe kwimeko abahluphekayo abazifumana bekuyo”, ulebele ngelitshoyo.
