Ukutshintsha kweMozulu kuBuqu

nguMark J. Spalding, uMongameli we-Ocean Foundation

Ukutshintsha kwemozulu kwaphinda kwaba yinto yobuqu. NgoLwesibini, iseti yeeseli zesaqhwithi zenzekile kuninzi lwe-East Coast. Zazikhangeleka ngathi ziindudumo zasehlotyeni, kodwa ngomoya oshushu owaphula irekhodi kaDisemba. Iindudumo, ezaza izantyalantyala zemvula nesichotho, zavela ngokukhawuleza kangangokuba zazingekho kwicandelo lokuxela imozulu kwiphephandaba kusuku olungaphambili okanye nakuqikelelo lwengqikelelo xa ndandijonga kwangokuhlwa kwangaphambi koko.

Sifike kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sakhwela inqwelomoya ngo7:30AM kwinqwelomoya yemizuzu engamashumi amathathu ukuya ePhilly. Kodwa njengoko sasikhwela iteksi ukuya esiphelweni somgaqo weenqwelomoya ukuze sihambe ngexesha, isikhululo seenqwelomoya ePhilly savalwa ukuzisa abasebenzi abasemhlabeni kwindawo ekhuselekileyo ekukhanyeni. Sakhupha iincwadi zethu ukuze sihambise ixesha etela.

Ibali elide elifutshane, ekugqibeleni safika kuPhilly. Kodwa i-American Airlines yethu edibanisa indiza eya eMontego Bay yayishiye isango malunga nemizuzu esixhenxe ngaphambi kokuba ishumi elinanye lifumane ukusuka kwiSitena F ukuya kwiSitena A. Okubuhlungu kuthi sonke, kuba sasizama ukuya kwisiqithi esithandwayo, kwaye ngenxa yokuba sasihamba. Ukuhamba ngeeholide, bekungekho ezinye iinqwelomoya eMelika (okanye ezinye iinqwelo) ezifumanekayo ukuze zisifikise apho nge-22.^nd, okanye kude kube ngama-25^th. 

Yaba yinto ebizwa ngokuba yiAmerican Airlines "luhambo olulize." Uchitha imini kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kwifowuni kunye nomgca. Bakunika imbuyiselo kwaye bakubhabhe ubuyele apho ubuqale khona. Ke, namhlanje ndihleli eWashington DC endaweni yokufunda incwadi ecaleni kweCaribbean nosapho lwam. . .

Ukuphulukana neholide kuyinkxamleko nokudana, yaye ndisenokufumana enye yeendleko zephakheji yethu ehlawulelwa kwangaphambili. Kodwa, ngokungafaniyo nabantu baseTexas nakwezinye iindawo zelizwe, asizange siphulukane namakhaya ethu, amashishini ethu, okanye abantu esibathandayo ngeli xesha leeholide. Asikhathazwa zizikhukula njengabantu baseUruguay, eBrazil, eArgentina naseParaguay apho abantu abayi-150,000 sele begxothiwe kumakhaya abo kule veki. E-United Kingdom, uDisemba yinyanga enzima enemvula engazange ibonwe ngaphambili kunye nezikhukula. 

Kwabaninzi kwesi sijikelezi-langa, izaqhwithi zequbuliso, imbalela eqatha, nezaqhwithi zezaqhwithi zithatha amakhaya abo, izityalo, kunye nendlela yokuphila njengoko siye sabona ngokuphindaphindiweyo kumabonwakude. Iziqithi ezixhomekeke kwingeniso evela kubakhenkethi zilahlekelwa ngabantu abafana nam-mhlawumbi kuphela i-11 ukusuka kwindiza yam-kodwa ixesha lokuhamba ebusika lisanda kuqala. Abalobi babona iintlanzi zabo zifudukela ezipalini zikhangela amanzi apholileyo. Amashishini azama ukufunda indlela yokusebenza ngokungaqiniseki okunjalo. Le lahleko iza neendleko zokwenyani. Ndiza kukwazi ukulinganisa eyam ngokuyinxenye ndakuba ndazi ukuba yimalini na imbuyiselo endiyifumanayo (okanye andiyifumani). Kodwa, inxalenye yelahleko ayinakulinganiswa kumntu wonke. 

Inokuba intliziyo ilihlwili asiyifumani ikhefu ekudala siyicwangcisa elunxwemeni ilanga. Kodwa ilahleko yam ayiyonto xa ithelekiswa nabo babukele amakhaya abo kunye namashishini abo etshatyalaliswa, okanye kwimeko yezizwe ezincinci zesiqithi, babukele ilizwe labo liphela linyamalala njengoko ukunyuka kwamaqondo olwandle kunye neziseko ezibuthathaka zikhukuliswa. Izaqhwithi kunye nemozulu embi e-US yenze izigidi ukuba azibhiliyoni kumonakalo njengoko sisondela ekupheleni konyaka. Ukuphulukana nobomi kulusizi.

Senze ntoni ngokukhutshwa kweemoto neefektri zethu kunye nohambo? Uninzi lwethu luyakubona kwaye luzive, kwaye lufunda ukumelana nalo. Bambalwa kakhulu abasakhanyelayo ngokungekho ngqiqweni okanye bengazi. Kwaye ezinye zihlawulwa ukuze zithintele, zilibazise okanye ziphazamise imigaqo-nkqubo esiyidingayo ukuze siye kuqoqosho oluncinci oluxhomekeke kwikhabhoni. Ukanti, zingaphi “iihambo ezililize” eziya kuthatyathwa ngabantu ngaphambi kokuba yonke ingcamango yohambo olucetyiweyo iwa phantsi kokuphazamiseka kwayo kunye neendleko?

Ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, iinkokeli zethu zehlabathi zivumelene ngoluhlu lweenjongo zokuzisindisa kule lahleko kunye neentliziyo ezibuhlungu. IsiVumelwano saseParis esivela kwi-COP21 sihambelana nemvumelwano yenzululwazi yehlabathi jikelele. Siyasamkela isivumelwano, nokuba sibonwa nasiphi na isiphene. Kwaye nanjengoko sisazi ukuba kuyakuthatha intando eninzi yezopolitiko ukunikezela.  

Kukho izinto sonke esinokuzenza eziya kuthi ngokudibeneyo zincede. Sinokuyixhasa imigudu yokunceda kwiintlekele. Yaye sinokwenza ngokwethu.  Ungafumana uluhlu oluhle lweembono apha IiNkokheli zeHlabathi zenze iBit yazo kuTshintsho lweMozulu, Nazi iindlela ezili-10 onokuthi nazo. Ke, nceda unciphise ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni yakho kangangoko unako. Kwaye, ngenxa yokukhutshwa awukwazi ukukususa, tyala ingca yolwandle kunye nathi ukunceda ulwandle njengoko ulungisa imisebenzi yakho!

Ndikunqwenelela okuhle kakhulu umbhiyozo omangalisayo weeholide naphi na apho ukhoyo.

Elolwandle.
