USousa Jamba ubheka lokho okungase kube izinsuku zokugcina zika-José Eduardo dos Santos owachitha cishe iminyaka engamashumi amane njengoMengameli wase-Angola umphakathi ungazi lutho ngaye.
Ngaqala ukubona owayenguMengameli wase-Angola uJose Eduardo dos Santos ngonyaka ka-2018 emngcwabeni womfowethu ongasekho.
UJaka Jamba umfowethu owayeyinxusa le-UNESCO kuhulumeni wobumbano lwesizwe owabangelwa isivumelwano sokuthula esaqeda impi yombango ngo-2002.
UDos Santos ubesephumile esikhundleni isikhathi esingangonyaka ngemuva kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili esikhundleni sakhe kwathathwa uJoão Lourenço ngo-2017.
U-Lourenço wathola isibusiso sikaDos Santos, kodwa laba bobabili baxabana kakhulu ngesikhathi uMengameli omusha ekhipha izinsolo zokudlondlobala kwenkohlakalo.
Eminyakeni yokugcina yobuMengameli, uDos Santos wayehambela njalo e-Spain ngokusobala eyokwelapha isimo sempilo esingaqondakali umphakathi owawungakaze utshelwe ngaso. Kwaba namahemuhemu okuthi unomdlavuza wendlala yesinye. Naye akaze asho lutho.
Ngemuva kweminyaka ecishe ibe ngamashumi amane ebusa njengomengameli, abantu abaningi base-Angola abazi lutho ngalo wesilisa oneminyaka engu-79 ubudala.
UMengameli wangaphambilini wenze izingxoxo ezimbalwa kakhulu futhi akajwayele ukusho okuningi ngaye.
Ngo-2011 kungazelele muntu waphumela obala waphika ukuthi unguyise wowesifazane owathi emaphephandabeni uyindodakazi yakhe.
Ngike ngabuza kubantu abamaziyo ukuthi wayenjani ngasese. Othile wangitshela ukuthi ujabulela ukuba yedwa nokudlala isiginci. Omunye umuntu wangitshela ukuthi unokunambitha okulula kakhulu, kanye nemikhuba yase-Angola ngezimpelasonto wayeba nesidlo sasemini se-chicken mwamba futhi ajabulele ukubukela imidlalo nezihlobo eziseduze nabangane.
Kodwa ingabe wayenabo abangane abaseduze? Omunye wangitshela ukuthi wayeyinhloli evamile eqeqeshwe i-KGB washo okuncane kakhulu, kodwa wahlela okuningi futhi wayehlale exabanisa wonke umuntu oseduze kwakhe. Izitha ezifungelwe zazivame ukuba nento eyodwa kuphela efanayo ukwethembeka okungaguquki kuDos Santos.
Kwenye inhlolokhono engandile uDos Santos uthe uyazifela ngezemidlalo nomculo. Akazange alisho igama labanye abaculi.
Nokho akekho owayazi ukuthi uyakholelwa yini kuNkulunkulu, iyiphi incwadi ayeyithanda kakhulu nokuthi empeleni wayecabangani ngamandla ayenawo iminyaka ecishe ibe ngamashumi amane.
Ngesikhathi umsizi wakhe engitshela ukuthi wayevame ukufunda izingosi zami ephephandabeni elizimele, ngacela ithuba lokuxoxa naye. Bengifuna ukuhlangana noMengameli udos Santos ngimbuze ngempilo yakhe. Angitholanga mpendulo.
Ngokuphambene sinombono wokuthi u-Agostinho Neto uMengameli wokuqala wase-Angola wayenjani ngasese. Imbongi ye-Marxist eyayingudokotela wezokwelapha yayithanda ukudla okuhle kwesiPutukezi newayini kanye ne-Chivas nokho-ke lokhu kuyinto ephikisana nomfelokazi wakhe othembeke kakhulu.
Ngo-1974 ngaphambi kwempi yombango uNeto wayevame ukumema umfowethu nomama abangasekho esidlweni sasemini. UNeto wayethandwa ngabasasondelene naye bemkhonzile futhi wayehlezi ehlekisa abantu abaseduze kwakhe ngezindaba zakhe.
U-Eduardo dos Santos ngokuphambene wayengavamile ukubonakala ehleka esidlangalaleni. Esizweni esinabantu abahlukumezekile uDos Santos akakaze alahlekelwe indawo yakhe yokugcina.
Nokho ukucwayiza akusona isici amadodakazi akhe asizuza njengefa kuyise. Kukhona u-Isabel owesifazane wase-Russia owayecebe kakhulu e-Afrika ongenamahloni ukutshela abantu ukuthi umunyu kangakanani ngokuthi uLourenço usewuchithile umbuso wakhe webhizinisi.
Bese kuba noWelwitschia dos Santos odume ngelika-Tchize indodakazi ethandana nommeli oqavile uMaria Abrantes.
Kule minyaka emihlanu edlule uTchize ubelokhu ekhipha ama-podcasts neziqeshana ze-YouTube ezihlambalaza uLourenço ngamagama alulazayo emsola ngokungabongi ngokujulile ngokuphatha kabi umndeni waloyo wesilisa owamfaka esikhundleni.
UDos Santos yena uzithulele e-Barcelona. Wathatha uhambo olufushane oluya e-Angola ebonakala egula futhi waba nomhlangano omfushane noLourenço.
Kube nokuqagela ukuthi bobabili base behlangene, kodwa Lourenço uqhubekile nokugxeka abaphathi bakaDos Santos ezinkulumweni zokukhankasa abezenza okhethweni lukazwelonke oluzayo ngoNcwaba.
Ngesonto eledlule izindaba ezivela kwi-Barcelona bezithi impilo kaDos Santos isibe nzima kwaze kwaba namahemuhemu okuthi ushonile.
Ukujikijelana ngezinsolo phakathi kwamalungu omndeni wakhe kuyadabukisa ngempela.
Abanye bebesola unkosikazi wakhe ababekade behlukana naye, u-Ana Paula dos Santos owafika e-Barcelona futhi waphikelela ekunakekeleni umyeni wakhe ogulayo ngokuthanda amathuba.
Ezinye zezingane zikaDos Santos zizwakalise ukukhathazeka ngokuthi udokotela wakhe wase-Angola wayethola imiyalelo eqondile evela kuLourenço. U-Isabel dos Santos uthumele umyalezo othi uzizwa evalelwe.
Abanye abantu base-Angola bayazwelana noDos Santos okungenzeka kube izinsuku zakhe zokugcina.
Okungenzeka ukuthi usezohamba emhlabeni, kodwa amalungu omndeni ngokuvamile ayahlangana kwezinye izimo ahlanganisa noma iziphi izinsiza anazo ukuze agcine othandiweyo wabo ephila.
Imigqa ebabayo ivame ukushiywa kuze kube ngemuva kokungcwatshwa. Inkolelo yokuthi kuvalwe izikhundla kungase kuthuthukise isimo sesihlobo esigulayo.
Ngethemba ukuthi impilo kaMengameli u-Eduardo Dos Santos izoba ngcono nokuthi ekugcineni uyasivuma isicelo sami sokuxoxa naye. Ngingalamukela ngempela ithuba lokumbuza uhlobo lwemibuzo abantu abaningi base-Angola abebelokhu beyibuza kowayenguMengameli wabo ngaphambi kokuba ashone.
