Āwherika ki te Tonga: Ka hoki a Pretoria ki te kooti hei whakaora i ngā maharatanga o Mandela

Kei te whawhai anō a Āwherika ki te Tonga kia kore ai e hokohokohia ngā taonga a Nelson Mandela i te United States. Kua tono piira te kāwanatanga ki te Kōti Kaupapa Ture, koinei te taahiraa hou i roto i tētahi pakanga ture kua roa nei.

Kei te pūtake o te keehi e 29 ngā taonga e pā ana ki te perehitini o mua o Āwherika ki te Tonga. Kei roto i ēnei ko tana kāri tuakiri, ētahi o ana hāte rongonui, āna tuhinga, he taputapu whakarongo, me te kī i whakaaturia hei taonga nō tana whare herehere i Robben Island, te wāhi i noho ai a Mandela i te nuinga o ana tau 27 i roto i te whare herehere. Ko ētahi o ngā taonga he koha i riro mai i ngā rangatira o tāwāhi, tae atu ki a Barack Obama rāua ko Bill Clinton.

Ki Pretoria, kāore e taea te kī he taonga whānau noa iho ēnei taonga. E whakapono ana te South African Heritage Agency (SAHRA), te Whare Taonga o Robben Island, me te Tari Hākinakina, Toi me te Ahurea he wāhanga ēnei o te hītori o te whenua, ā, me whai i ngā ture tiaki taonga tuku iho te kaweake mai.

I tētahi taha, kei te tiaki a Makaziwe Mandela, te tamāhine matamua a Nelson Mandela, i tōna tika ki te hoko i ngā rawa i riro mai i tōna matua. Ko te whāinga o te hokonga kua whakaarohia, inā koa, he putea mō te hanganga o tētahi māra whakamaharatanga i Qunu, i te porowini o Eastern Cape, te wāhi i tanumia ai te perehitini o mua.

Ehara tēnei tautohe i te mea hou. I pānuitia te hoko i te tau 2021 i mua i te whakamutua i te tau 2022 whai muri i ngā tukanga ture i tīmatahia e ngā mana whakahaere o Āwherika ki te Tonga. Whai muri i te whakataunga tautoko i te hoko, ka haere tonu te take ki mua i ngā kōti teitei. I te marama o Hānuere 2026, i whakakahoretia e te Kōti Pīra Hupirimi ngā whakahē a SAHRA.

Nā tēnei tukunga hou ki te Kōti Kaupapa Ture, ka hoki mai ki mua te mana o te whānau ki te hoko i ngā taonga whaiaro o tētahi tangata kua waiho hei tohu ā-motu. Ki ngā mana whakahaere o Āwherika ki te Tonga, ko ētahi mea e pā ana ki a Mandela kua hipa atu i te ao whānau, ā, kua taka ki roto i te ao o te maharatanga whānui.

Nō reira, kāore e taea e te whakataunga a te Kōti Kaupapa Ture te whakatau i te mutunga iho o ēnei taonga, engari i tētahi atu pātai whānui hoki mō te tiakitanga o te taonga tuku iho o Āwherika ki te Tonga.
