Ngasekuqaleni kuka-2007 iningi le-African National Congress kuMasipala weTheku lagunyaza inqubo yokuqanjwa kabusha kwamagama emigwaqweni eyaholela ekuqanjweni kabusha kwemigwaqo evelele engaphezu kwekhulu ngemuva kwabantu abahlukahlukene abalwa nemibuso yamakholoni nobandlululo. Lenqubo yaholela ezingeni elingakaze libonwe lomphakathi kanye nempikiswano.
Phakathi kokushintshwa kwamagama okuqala kwakhulu zedolobha nezikhulu zamasosha, amayunithi, izakhiwo nemicimbi, kanye nezakhamizi ezinethonya, eziningi zazo ezabuyela emuva ngawo-1850s. Abaningi baveza ukukhathazeka kwabo ngokuthi inqubo yokuqanjwa kabusha kwamagama izosula umlando wokuqala wokusungulwa kweTheku futhi ikhombise nje umlando wakamuva wenkululeko. Abanye bathi abantu ababaluleke ngeTheku bekufanele bashintshe amagama amadala emigwaqo. Isibonelo, iVictoria Embankment ngabe yaqanjwa kabusha ngegama likaNdongeni, ilungu leNdlunkulu kaZulu, hhayi isishoshovu se-ANC, uMargaret Mncadi. Emaphethelweni aphuma eThekwini, uNdongeni wagibela ihhashi noDick King baya eGrahamstown ukuyofuna ukuqiniswa lapho i-Old Fort ivinjezelwe amabhunu.
Amagama anencazelo
Amagama anencazelo futhi ayisikhumbuzo sabantu ababalulekile, izindawo nemicimbi. Ukuqamba igama kabusha kwenzeka ngokwakha indawo ebandakanya wonke umuntu lapho abantu bazibona khona – amasiko abo, amanani abo nomlando wabo. Lokhu kuyashintsha kuye ngezikhathi nezombusazwe zendawo ethile. Abantu abavumelani ngaso sonke isikhathi ngokuthi ngubani okufanele ahlonishwe. Ukuqamba kabusha eNingizimu Afrika – kusuka emadolobheni nasezikhumulweni zezindiza kuya emahholo eyunivesithi – kuyinqubo eqhubekayo futhi eyingxenye yezingxoxo mpikiswano zanamuhla. Ngo-2021, i-EFF yanxusa ukuthi iTheku lishintshwe igama.
