Ingemuva

Inkulu inqubekelaphambili eseyenziwe ukuvikela nokukhuthaza amalungelo abantu besifazane ezikhathini zamuva nje. Nokho, akukho ndawo emhlabeni lapho abesifazane bengasho khona ukuthi banamalungelo namathuba afanayo nawabesilisa, ngokwe-UN. Iningi labantu abampofu kakhulu emhlabeni abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.3 ngabesifazane. Ngokwesilinganiso, abesifazane bathola umholo ophakathi kwamaphesenti angama-30 nangama-40 ngaphansi kwabesilisa abawuthola ngomsebenzi ofanayo. Abesifazane basaqhubeka nokuba yizisulu zodlame, ukudlwengulwa nodlame lwasekhaya kubalwe njengezimbangela ezibalulekile zokukhubazeka nokufa kwabesifazane emhlabeni wonke.

Usuku Lokuqala Lwabesifazane Lwamazwe Ngamazwe lwenzeka ngo-March 19 ngo-1911.
