Ipapashwe okokuqala ngoJanuwari 15, 2008…
PHI esi sizukulwana sikhona ngokomoya Ukhohlisiwe, ngokunjalo kuye kwakhohliswa ngezinto eziphathekayo nangokwasemzimbeni.
UBULUMKO BABADALA
Bendihleli etafileni kwikhaya labadala kutshanje, bendonwabela incoko yamadoda amadala. Babethetha ngendlela abagcina ngayo ukutya ebusika kwifama xa babengabantwana. Xa ndandimamele amabali abo, kwafika kum… isibini sokugqibela sezizukulwana abanalo nofifi lokuba banokuphila njani bodwa!
Silahlekelwe bubulumko bamaxesha, safunda kwaye sagqitha ukusuka kwisizukulwana ukuya kwesinye iwaka leminyaka. Obo buchule bokwakha, ukuzingela, ukutyala, ukukhula, ukuvuna… ewe, phila—ngaphandle koncedo lwetekhnoloji-ziphantse zonke kodwa zaya uninzi lweGeneration X kunye nezizukulwana ezilandelayo kwilizwe laseNtshona.
OXHOMEKEKILEYO
Ungandivi kakubi—andichasi inkqubela. Kodwa kukho into eyoyikisayo malunga nemeko yangoku. Kwihlabathi laseNtshona, siphila kwigridi. Oko kukuthi, sixhomekeke ngokupheleleyo kurhulumente okanye kumaqumrhu ukuze asinike umbane nobushushu (okanye amandla omoya opholileyo.) Ngaphezu koko, sixhomekeke “kwinkqubo” ngokutya kwethu nakwinkoliso yezinto zethu eziphathekayo. Bambalwa kuthi abazibonelela ngokwethu ngokwethu ubutyebi, into eyenziwa zizizukulwana ezininzi ukuya kuthi ga kwisizukulwana esidlulileyo.
Bekuya kwenzeka ntoni ukuba ngequbuliso umbane ucima kakuhle, ngenxa yemfazwe, intlekele yemvelo, okanye ezinye iindlela? Izixhobo zethu zombane ziya kuyeka ukusebenza, kwaye ke, iindlela zethu zokupheka. Iindlela zethu zokugcina ubushushu ngokufudumeza kombane okanye igesi yendalo ziya kuphela (nto leyo enokuthetha ubomi okanye ukufa kwabo bakumazwe asemantla). Ukufudumeza amakhaya ethu amakhulu ngeziko kuya kuba nzima, ngaphandle kwegumbi elikulo. Iifektri zethu ziya kuyeka ukuvelisa izinto esixhomekeke kuzo, ngokomzekelo, izinto ezilula njengephepha langasese. Iishelufu zegrosari ziya kuchithwa kwisithuba seveki njengoko abantu beza kungxama ezivenkileni ukuze baqokelele oko banako. Kwaye ungaze ucinge ngezinto eziphathekayo; Iivenkile ezifana ne "WalMart" yaseMntla Melika ziya kuba zingenanto kuba yonke into "Yenziwe etshayina,” kwaye iintambo zothutho nezothutho ziya kuba sezantsi njengoko uninzi lwezikhululo zamafutha zixhomekeke kumbane ukumpompa amafutha. Ihambo yethu yobuqu ibiya kusikelwa umda kakhulu. Kwaye oomatshini bokwenza amayeza abantu abaninzi abaxhomekeke kubo baya kuyeka. Aza kuqhubeka ixesha elingakanani amanzi efikelela kwiidolophu nakwizixeko zethu?
Uluhlu luyahamba. Akunzima ukubona ukuba uluntu luza kukhawuleza ludibane. INkanyamba uKatrina yavula amehlo abantu abaninzi… yinto encinci eyenzekayo xa kusilela iziseko zophuhliso.
Ngexesha elithile elidlulileyo, ndabona entliziyweni yam imimandla emininzi elawulwa-hayi ngamapolisa noorhulumente-kodwa imigulukudu. Ibiya kuba sisiqhamo sombhodamo, wonke umntu kowakhe… de kube “umntu” oza kuhlangula.
USathana angasebenzisa izixhobo ezothusayo zenkohliso-angazifihla — angazama ukusihenda kwizinto ezincinci, ukuze ashukumise iBandla, hayi ngexesha elinye, kodwa kancinci kancinci kwisikhundla salo sokwenyani… siziphose phezu kwehlabathi kwaye sixhomekeke kukhuseleko kulo, sancama inkululeko yethu kunye namandla ethu, emva koko [umchasi-Kristu] angagqabhuka kuthi ngomsindo ade uThixo amvumele. -Ukwazi ukwenza uJohn Henry Newman, Intshutshiso IV: Ukutshutshiswa komchasi-Kristu
INKOHLISO ENKULU… UKUQALA
Kutshanje eVenezuela, ilizwe eligutyungelwe bubundlobongela bolwaphulo-mthetho, uMongameli Hugo Chavez uzame ukwazisa ngotshintsho lomgaqo-siseko oluya kumnika amandla olawulo lobuzwilakhe, ehambisa ilizwe kurhulumente wobusoshiyali. Wavumela ilizwe ukuba livote kuhlaziyo ngendlela yovavanyo-zimvo.
Yoyiswa ngokulula, akunjalo? Abantu bazibona ngokucacileyo iingozi zolu hlengahlengiso, akunjalo? Ayilunganga. Uhlaziyo loyiswa kancinane ukusuka kuma-51 ukuya kuma-49 ekhulwini. Kuyayothusa ukubona kule mihla yethu “idemokhrasi” ukuba abantu abaninzi babekulungele ukuya kwilizwe lobuzwilakhe. Kwenye ingxelo yeendaba, umxhasi we-pro-Chavez wahamba ngezitrato, esithi kwintatheli phakathi kwe-sobs:
Kunzima ukuyamkela le nto, kodwa uChavez akasilahlanga, uya kuhlala elapho kuthi. -I-Press Associated, Ngomhla wesi-3 ku-2007; www.msnbc.msn.com
Abantu bazimisele ukusindiswa ngandlela zonke, kubonakala ngathi, nakwiindleko zenkululeko yabo, okoko nje beziva Khu selekile.
Ngaba esi sizukulwana siqhathwa ukuba samkele “umsindisi”, kwanalowo uya kukhupha inkululeko yaso, ngenxa yokutya nokhuseleko, ingakumbi xa kuthe kwakho ukuwohloka koluntu? Xa uqoqosho ludodobala kwaneziseko zophuhliso ngenxa yeziganeko ezizayo, izakujika phi loo miphefumlo ebona buchule bawo kukudlala imidlalo yekhompyutha, ukukhuphela umculo, nokuthumela imiyalezo ngesandla esinye kwiselula?
Ngaba asinakuqonda ngoku ukuba kutheni uMama wethu osikelelekileyo elila? Kodwa ndiyakholelwa ukuba imiphefumlo emininzi isenokuhlangulwa Inkohliso enkulu.
Izulu linecebo. Kufuneka sicele uBawo wethu asinike ubulumko nokuqonda ukuthanda kwakhe ngobomi bethu, kuba…
…Batshabalala abantu bam ngokuswela ukwazi. (Hos 4: 6)
