iqhwa eCairo? Iqhwa Kwa-Israyeli? Sleet eSiriya?
Sekuyiminyaka eminingana manje, umhlaba ubheka njengoba imicimbi yomhlaba yemvelo icekela phansi izifunda ezahlukahlukene izindawo ngezindawo. Kepha ngabe kukhona ukuxhumana okukhona nasemphakathini ngobuningi: ukulinyazwa komthetho wemvelo nowokuziphatha?

Imimoya yenguquko iyavunguza futhi ngeke iphele manje ngize ngihlanze futhi ngihlanze umhlaba.
Futhi lapho, isivunguvungu sezivunguvungu sehlela kithi! Sivuke namhlanje ekuseni sakhithika amabhange afinyelela kumamitha ayi-15 egcekeni lethu! Iningi lawo laliwumphumela, hhayi wokuwa kweqhwa, kodwa imimoya enamandla, engapheli. Ngaphumela ngaphandle futhi — phakathi nokushibilika ezintabeni ezimhlophe namadodana ami — ngathwebula izibhamu ezimbalwa ezungeze ipulazi kumakhalekhukhwini ukuze ngihlanganyele nabafundi bami. Angikaze ngibone isivunguvungu somoya sikhiqiza imiphumela efana nale lokhu!
