UMFUTHO WOMDLALO WENKOSI EBUSISIWE IMARIYA,
UMAMA KANKULUNKULU
PHAKATHI Isikhathi sedili likaKhisimusi nokujabula komndeni, lawa magama aqhubeka nokuntanta ngaphezu komsindo ngokuphikelela:
Lona nguNyaka Wokuvela…
Ngemva kwesonto ngizindla ngala mazwi, “Izilwane” kwafika engqondweni—lokho kuzindla kokuqala kule webhusayithi okwabangela ngezindlela eziningi le “nkonzo yokubhala.” Nakuba lawa maPetals azothatha isikhathi ukuvela ngokugcwele, ngikholwa ukuthi iZulu belisilungiselela lesi sikhathi esimangalisayo lapho sizobona khona ukuNqoba kukaMariya kuqala ukuziveza phambi kwamehlo ethu.
Ukuthi konke lokhu kusho ukuthini angikwazi ukukusho. Kodwa amazwibela engiwanikwe ngoKhisimusi ayajabulisa njengoba emangalisa. Ngezindlela eziningi, ukufundwa kwe-Advent sekukusho konke, yingakho ngazizwa ngiphoqelekile ukubhala ukuthi kufanele sibalalele ngokucophelela, ikakhulukazi ukufundwa kweMisa kwansuku zonke.
Kuyangihlaba umxhwele ukubona ukuthi lesi sizukulwane asifani neze nanoma yisiphi ngaphambi kwaso. Asikaze sibe nesikhathi kusukela ngesikhathi sikaKristu lapho u-Israyeli ayeyisizwe esisemthethweni; lapho ukuxhumana kungenzeka emhlabeni wonke nangaphezulu ngokuphazima kweso; lapho lonke ulwazi lomhlaba lungatholakala ngokuchofoza inkinobho; lapho sasizobona ngamehlo imithala engaphezu kwemithala; lapho abantu bekwazi ukundiza emkhathini… noma bahambe ngaphansi kolwandle. Kepha okuthusa kakhulu, akukaze ngaphambili sibe nesizukulwane esikhiphe izisu ezinganeni eziningi kangaka (ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-44 kusukela ngo-1973); kuvimbele ukuba khona kwabo bonke abantu ngokulawulwa kokuzalwa; wasebenzisa ubuchwepheshe ukuhlanganisa nokwenza impilo; kube ukuphatha izikhali ezingabhubhisa izizwe; futhi ngicebe kakhulu… kepha ngibe mpofu ngokomoya.
Ngamafuphi, sesiphenduke isizukulwane “sonkulunkulu” abaye baba abancane kunomuntu.
Unyaka wokwambuleka usufikile. Kungaba okucashile. Noma empeleni kungabonakala ngokuphawulekayo kuyo yonke imiphefumulo esemhlabeni. UNkulunkulu uyazi. Okubonakala kuqinisekile ukuthi impilo izoshintsha sonke.
Futhi mhlawumbe kungekudala ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
(Qaphela: Kamuva kulo nyaka, nango-2008, kwaqala ukuwa kwezimakethe zamasheya. Abanye bathi ukucekelwa phansi kwayo kuhlehlisiwe, kuphinde kufihlwe yizikhungo zezimali… Isikweletu siyaqhubeka nokukhula, imali engenayo yasekhaya iyancipha, futhi umnotho osekelwe edola uyaqhubeka nokuba ntekenteke phakathi kwamandla amaningi angaphakathi nangaphandle…)
