Luthetha Ntoni Ulwandle Kuwe? Isilumkiso seSpoiler: Akukho mpendulo ichanekileyo

Umbuzo omnye, Iimpendulo ezininzi

Luthetha ntoni ulwandle kuwe? 

Ukuba bendinokubuza lo mbuzo kubantu abayi-1,000 kwihlabathi liphela, andisoze ndifumane iimpendulo ezimbini ezifanayo. Kusenokubakho ukuthubelelana okusekwe kuluntu lwengingqi, apho abantu baphumla khona, okanye amashishini athile (umz. amashishini okuloba). Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yobukhulu bolwandle kwihlabathi jikelele, kunye nobudlelwane babantu ngabanye kunye nalo, kukho i-bandwidth eninzi xa uphendula lo mbuzo. 

Iimpendulo kumbuzo wam kusenokwenzeka ukuba zisusela kwintabatheko ukuya ekungakhathaliyo. "Ipro" yombuzo ofana nowam kukuba akukho sigwebo apha, ukufuna nje ukwazi. 

Ngoko...ndiya kuqala. 

Ndiyakwazi ukushwankathela okuthethwa lulwandle kum ngegama elinye: uqhagamshelwano. Inkumbulo yam yokuqala yolwandle, ngokumangalisayo, ayisiyiyo xa ndibona ulwandle okokuqala. Endaweni yoko, inkumbulo yam yenzeka kwindlu ekumgangatho ophakathi wodidi lobukoloniyali kwidolophu yaseNew York. Uyabona, umama wayeneentlobo ngeentlobo zoonokrwece baselwandle abacwangciswe ngokuthe tye kwiishelufa kwigumbi lokutyela elisemthethweni. Andizange ndibuze, kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba yayingoonokrwece awawafumana ukutyhubela iminyaka ngoxa wayehamba kunxweme lweAtlantiki. Umama ubonise amaqokobhe njengenxalenye yobugcisa ephakathi (kanye njengokuba nawuphi na umzobi ebenokwenza) kwaye yenye yezinto eziphambili zendlu endiya kuhlala ndiyikhumbula. Andizange ndiyiqonde ngoko, kodwa oonokrwece baqala bandazisa kulwalamano oluphakathi kwezilwanyana nolwandle; into edityanisiweyo ukusuka kwiingqaqa zekorale ukuya kwiminenga enamanzi olwandle. 

Kwiminyaka emininzi kamva, malunga nexesha lokuyilwa kwee "flip phones", ndenza idrayivu ukusuka eLos Angeles ukuya eSan Diego rhoqo. Ndandisazi ukuba ndisondela kwindawo endandisiya kuyo ngenxa yokuba uhola wendlela wawuza kudlula phezu koLwandlekazi lwePasifiki oluluhlaza. Kwakukho ulindelo kunye noloyiko njengoko ndandisondela kuloo arc. Ukuziva kunzima ukuphindaphinda ngezinye iindlela. 

Ke, ubudlelwane bam nolwandle buxhomekeke kwindawo endikuyo ngokwejoloji nakubomi. Nangona kunjalo, into enye efanayo kukuba ndishiya uhambo ngalunye lwaselwandle kunye noqhagamshelo oluhlaziyiweyo kwizinto zasemanzini, ngokomoya, kunye nendalo.  

Ingaba iintshukumo zolwandle zichatshazelwa njani lutshintsho lwemozulu?

Isijikelezi-langa esinguMhlaba senziwe ngamanzi amaninzi awahlukeneyo, kodwa ulwandle ngokubanzi lugubungela isijikelezi-langa siphela. Idibanisa ilizwe kwelinye, uluntu ukuya kwelinye, kwaye wonke umntu osemhlabeni. Olu lwandle ngokubanzi luqhekekile iilwandlekazi ezine ngokwemveli (iPasifiki, iAtlantiki, iIndiya, iArctic) kunye nolwandle olutsha lwesihlanu (Antarctic/Mazantsi) (NOAA. Zingaphi iilwandle ezikhoyo? Iwebhusayithi yeNkonzo yoLwandlekazi lweSizwe, https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/howmanyoceans.html, 01/20/23).

Mhlawumbi wakhulela kufuphi neAtlantiki waza wavuthwa eCape Cod. Usenokukhumbula amaza arhabaxa ebetha unxweme olunamatye, amanzi abandayo, nobuhle bonxweme olusemaphandleni. Okanye umfanekiso okhulela eMiami, apho iAtlantiki iguqukela kumanzi ashushu, acacileyo, kunye nemagnethi ongenakukwazi ukumelana nayo. Ngamawaka amathathu eekhilomitha ukuya eNtshona kuLwandlekazi lwePasifiki, apho abantu abasebenzisa iisuti ezimanzi bavuka ngentsimbi yesithandathu kusasa ukuze “babambe” amaza kunye neepali zebarnacles ezisuka elunxwemeni. Kwi-Arctic, umkhenkce wolwandle unyibilika ngokutshintsha kwamaqondo obushushu oMhlaba, nto leyo echaphazela amanqanaba olwandle kwihlabathi liphela. 

Ngokwembono yenzululwazi, ulwandle lunexabiso elikhulu kuMhlaba. Oku kungenxa yokuba ithoba ifuthe lobushushu behlabathi. Esinye isizathu soku kukuba ulwandle lufunxa ikharbon diokside (C02) ekhutshwa emoyeni ngemithombo efana nezityalo zamandla kunye nezithuthi ezihambayo. Ubunzulu bolwandle (iinyawo ezili-12,100) bubalulekile kwaye buthetha ukuba, nangona kwenzeka ntoni phezu kwamanzi, ulwandle olunzulu luthatha ixesha elide ukufudumala, olunokunceda kuphela ukuthomalalisa imiphumo yokutshintsha kwemozulu (NOAA. Ubunzulu kangakanani? Iwebhusayithi yeNkonzo yoLwandle lweSizwe, https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/oceandepth.html, 03/01/23).

Ngenxa yoku, izazinzulu zisenokuma ngelithi ngaphandle kolwandle imiphumo yokufudumala kwehlabathi ibiya kuba namandla ngokuphindwe kabini. Noko ke, ulwandle alukhuselekanga kumonakalo obangelwa kukutshintsha kwesijikelezi-langa. Xa i-C02 inyibilika kumanzi olwandle anetyuwa, kukho iziphumo ezichaphazela izinto eziphilayo ezinamaqokobhe e-calcium carbonate. Khumbula iklasi yekhemistri kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo okanye ekholejini? Ndinike ithuba apha lokuphonononga ingqikelelo ngokwemiqathango ngokubanzi. 

Ulwandle lune-pH ethile (i-pH inomlinganiselo osuka ku-0-14). Isixhenxe (7) sisiqingatha sendawo (USGS. Isikolo seSayensi saManzi, https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/ph-scale-0, 06/19/19). Ukuba i-pH ingaphantsi kwe-7, ngoko i-acidic; ukuba inkulu kuno-7 ngoko isisiseko. Oku kubalulekile kuba izinto eziphilayo zaselwandle zinamaqokobhe aqinileyo/amathambo e-calcium carbonate, kwaye afuna la mathambo ukuze aphile. Nangona kunjalo, xa i-C02 ingena emanzini, kukho ukusabela kweekhemikhali okutshintsha i-pH yolwandle, iyenze ibe neasidi ngakumbi. Le yinto ebizwa ngokuba yi "ocean acidification". Oku kuthoba amathambo e-organism kwaye ngaloo ndlela kusongela ukusebenza kwawo (ukufumana ulwazi oluthe kratya, bona: NOAA. Yintoni i-Ocean Acidification? https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/acidification.html, 01/20/23). Ngaphandle kokungena kwiinkcukacha zenzululwazi (onokuthi uziphande), kubonakala ngathi kukho unxibelelwano oluthe ngqo lwesizathu-sesiphumo phakathi kokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye ne-acidification yolwandle. 

Oku kubalulekile (ngaphandle koloyiko lokuphoswa kwisidlo sakho se-clams kwi-sauce yewayini emhlophe). 

Khawufane ucinge ngale meko: 

Uya kugqirha, kwaye bakuxelela ukuba une-calcium ephantsi kwaye, ngelishwa, ubhekisa kwi-osteoporosis ngesantya esothusayo. Ugqirha uthi udinga izongezelelo ze-calcium ukunqanda imeko eyandayo. Mhlawumbi ungathatha izongezo, akunjalo? Kolu mzekeliso uvunyiweyo ungaqhelekanga, ezo clams zidinga icalcium carbonate yazo kwaye ukuba akukho nyathelo lithathwayo ukunqanda unobangela womonakalo kumathambo azo, ke iiclams zakho zisingise kwilishwa eliyingozi. Oku kuchaphazela zonke iimoluska (hayi nje iimbaza) kwaye ke ngoko kuchaphazela kakubi indawo yentengiso yokuloba, ukhetho lwakho lwesidlo sangokuhlwa esimnandi, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo nokubaluleka kweemoluska kwikhonkco lokutya lolwandle. 

Le yimizekelo nje emibini yobudlelwane phakathi kokutshintsha kwemozulu nolwandle. Kukho ngakumbi ukuba le blog ayiquki. Nangona kunjalo, enye ingongoma enomdla ukuyikhumbula kukuba kukho isitalato esineendlela ezimbini phakathi kokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye nolwandle. Xa olu lungelelwano luphazamisekile, wena kunye nezizukulwana ezizayo, ngokwenene, uya kuwuphawula umahluko.

Amabali Akho

Unale nto engqondweni, i-Ocean Foundation yafikelela kubantu abahlukeneyo kwihlabathi liphela ukuze bafunde ngamava abo olwandle. Injongo yayikukufumana iqela labantu abanamava olwandle kwiindawo abahlala kuzo ngeendlela ezizodwa. Seva ngabantu abasebenza ngemekobume, kwanabo baluxabisayo ulwandle. Sivile kwinkokeli ye-ecotourism, i-photographer yolwandle, kunye nabafundi besikolo samabanga aphakamileyo abakhule (mhlawumbi) kunye nolwandle olusele luchatshazelwe kukutshintsha kwemozulu. Imibuzo ilungiselelwe umthathi-nxaxheba ngamnye, kwaye njengoko bekulindelekile, iimpendulo zahlukene kwaye zinika umdla.

Umbuzo: Yintoni inkumbulo yakho yokuqala ngoLwandle?  

“Ndandimalunga neminyaka esi-7 ubudala kwaye sasihamba eYiputa. Ndandichulumancile ngokuya elwandle kwaye ndandikhangela oonokrwece baselwandle kunye namatye amibalabala (ubuncwane bomntwana), kodwa zonke zazigqunyelelwe okanye zigutyungelwe ngokuyinxenye kwinto efana netar endicinga ukuba ibangelwe kukuchitheka kweoyile. ). Ndikhumbula umahluko ombi phakathi kwamaqokobhe amhlophe kunye netela emnyama. Kwakukho nevumba elibi lohlobo lwebhitumene ekunzima ukulilibala.” 

Q: Ngaba ukhe wanamava oLwandle ongathanda ukwabelana ngawo? 

“Kutshanje, ndifumene ithuba lokuchitha iiholide zokuphela konyaka kufutshane nolwandlekazi lweAtlantiki. Ukuhamba elunxwemeni ngexesha lamaza amakhulu - xa uhamba ngendlela yakho phakathi kweliwa kunye nolwandle olugqumayo - ngokwenene kukwenza ukuba uwaxabise amandla angenakulinganiswa olwandle. "

Umbuzo: Kuthetha ntoni ukulondolozwa koLwandlekazi kuwe?  

“Ukuba asiyinyamekeli kakuhle indalo yethu yaselwandle, ubomi eMhlabeni bungabonakala bungenakwenzeka. Wonke umntu angadlala indima – akuyomfuneko ukuba ube yinzululwazi ukuze ube negalelo. Ukuba uselwandle, thatha umzuzwana uqokelele inkunkuma uze ushiye unxweme ulunge ngakumbi kunokuba ulufumene.”

Umbuzo: Yeyiphi inkumbulo yakho yokuqala yobuqu yolwandle?

“Ndakhulela eJamani, ngoko ubuntwana bam babuchithelwa kakhulu kwiiAlps kodwa inkumbulo yam yokuqala yolwandle luLwandle lwaseMantla, olulolunye lweelwandle ezininzi kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki. Ndandikuthanda nokutyelela iiPaki zeSizwe zoLwandle lwaseWadden (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1314), ulwandle olungenzulu kangako oluselunxwemeni olunentlabathi eninzi nodaka olubangela ukuba iindidi ezininzi zeentaka zizalele.”

Umbuzo: Loluphi ulwandle (iPacific / Atlantic / Indian / Arctic njl.) oziva uqhagamshelwe kakhulu ngoku kwaye ngoba?

“Ndiqhagamshelwe kakhulu kuLwandlekazi lwePasifiki ngenxa yotyelelo lwam eGalapagos ngelixa ndisebenza njengesazi ngebhayoloji kwihlathi elinemvula lase-Ecuador. Njengemyuziyam ephilayo kunye nomboniso wendaleko, ichwebakazi lashiya umbono ongapheliyo kum njengesazi sebhayoloji kunye nemfuneko engxamisekileyo yokukhusela ulwandle kunye nezilwanyana ezisemhlabeni. Ngoku ndihlala eOstreliya, ndinethamsanqa lokuba kwilizwekazi lesiqithi [apho] phantse zonke iindawo zingqongwe ngamanzi oLwandlekazi – ahluke kakhulu kwilizwe lakowethu eJamani! Ngoku, ndiyakonwabela ukuhamba, ukukhwela ibhayisekile, nokunxibelelana nendalo kulwandlekazi olusemazantsi.”

Q: Loluphi uhlobo lomkhenkethi olufuna uhambo lwe-ecotourism olubandakanya ulwandle? 

“Amandla aqhuba ukhenketho lwendalo kukuhlanganisa abalondolozi bezilwanyana zasendle kunye nendalo, uluntu lwasekuhlaleni, kunye nabo baphumezayo, bathabatha inxaxheba, baze bathengise ngokhenketho lwendalo kunye ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba ishishini lokhenketho ligxile ekuzinziseni ixesha elide kunengeniso yexeshana elifutshane. Abakhenkethi abakhaliphileyo bayayiphaphela intlalo, indalo, nenkcubeko. Bayazi ukuba bayinxalenye yoluntu lwehlabathi. Bayayiqonda impembelelo esinayo njengabahambi kwaye bazimisele ukufaka isandla kwiplanethi kunye neelwandle zethu ngendlela efanelekileyo. Banengqondo, banembeko, kwaye bakulungele ukukhuthaza utshintsho. Bafuna ukwazi ukuba uhambo lwabo alubahloneli abantu okanye iindawo abazityelelayo. Kwaye ukuba, xa kwenziwe ngokuchanekileyo, ukuhamba kunokunceda bobabini baphumelele. ”

Umbuzo: I-ecotourism kunye nempilo yolwandle zidibana njani? Kutheni impilo yolwandle ibaluleke kangaka kwishishini lakho? 

“Ukhenketho lunokwenza umonakalo, kodwa lunokuphinda lukhuthaze uphuhliso oluzinzileyo. Xa kucwangciswe kwaye kulawulwe ngokufanelekileyo, ukhenketho oluzinzileyo lunokuba negalelo ekuphuculeni ubomi, ukubandakanywa, ilifa lenkcubeko kunye nokukhusela ubutyebi bendalo, kunye nokukhuthaza ukuqonda ngamazwe ngamazwe. Siyazi izinto ezingalunganga kwimpilo yolwandle, kubandakanya indlela iindawo ezahlukeneyo zabakhenkethi ezilwela ngayo ukulawula ukunyuka okunyukayo kwabahambi, iimpembelelo zelanga elinetyhefu kwihlabathi elingaphantsi kwamanzi, ungcoliseko lweplastiki kwiilwandle zethu, njl.

Iilwandlekazi ezisempilweni zibonelela ngemisebenzi nokutya, zigcina ukukhula koqoqosho, zilawula imozulu, kwaye zixhasa impilo-ntle yoluntu oluhlala elunxwemeni. Amawaka ezigidi zabantu ehlabathini lonke—ingakumbi abona bangamahlwempu ehlabathini—bathembele kwiilwandlekazi ezisempilweni njengomthombo wemisebenzi nokutya, nto leyo ebethelela imfuneko engxamisekileyo yokufumana ulungelelwano ukuze kukhuthazwe ukhenketho ukuze kukhule uqoqosho nokukhuthaza inkuthazo ezinzileyo yolondolozo lweelwandle zethu. Ulwandle lusenokubonakala lungenasiphelo, kodwa kufuneka sifumane izicombululo. Oku kubalulekile kungekuphela nje kwiilwandle zethu nakwizinto eziphila elwandle, nakwishishini lethu, kodwa kubomi babantu. ”

Q: Xa uceba uhambo lwe-ecotourism olubandakanya ulwandle, zeziphi ezona ndawo ziphambili zokuthengisa kwaye ulwazi lwakho lwenzululwazi yendalo esingqongileyo lukunceda njani ukuba uthethelele zombini ulwandle ngokwalo kunye neshishini lakho? 

"Omnye umzekelo ngowokuba i-Intrepid isungule isizini ka-2022/23 kwi-Ocean Endeavor kwaye yaqesha abakhokeli behambo abaziingcali abangama-65 abathi bonke babelane nenjongo yokuzisa amava anenjongo ngakumbi kwiindwendwe e-Antarctica. Sazise inani leenjongo kunye namanyathelo ozinzo, kuquka ukuba ngumqhubi wokuqala we-Antarctic ukususa ukutya kwaselwandle kwinkonzo yethu yesiqhelo; ukukhonza ingokuhlwa enye esekwe kwisityalo kwi-expedition nganye; ibonelela ngeenkqubo zenzululwazi ezintlanu zabemi ezixhasa uphando nokufunda; kunye nokusebenza iiGiants of Antarctica uhambo kunye WWF-Australia ngo 2023. Saye sasebenzisana kwiprojekthi yophando yeminyaka emibini kunye neYunivesithi yaseTasmania, sihlola indlela iihambo zokuhamba ngeenqanawa ezikhuthaza ngayo ubudlelwane obuhle kunye nolwazi lwenkcubeko kunye ne-Antarctica phakathi kwamaqela ahlukeneyo abahambi.

Kukho iingcali ezithile zokusingqongileyo ezinokuthi eyona ndlela yokukhusela Antarctica asikuko ukuya apho kwaphela. Ukuba, ngokundwendwela nje, uyonakalisa kanye 'ukungonakaliswa' okwenza i-Antarctica ibe yokhethekileyo. Ayingombono esibhalisa kuwo. Kodwa kukho izinto ezithile onokuthi uzenze ukunciphisa impembelelo yakho kunye nokukhusela indawo yepolar. I-counterargument, eyenziwa zizazinzulu ezininzi ze-polar, kukuba i-Antarctica inamandla awodwa okutshintsha nokufundisa abantu malunga nokusingqongileyo. Phantse amandla angaqondakaliyo. Ukuguqula abahambi abaqhelekileyo babe ngabaxhasi abanomdla. Ufuna abantu bahambe njengoonozakuzaku, kwaye uninzi lwabo lwenjenjalo. ”

Q. Yintoni inkumbulo yakho yokuqala yolwandle (yeyiphi?)

“Ndineenkumbulo ezi-2 ezahlukileyo zeentsuku zam zokuqala ndiselwandle. 

1. Ndikhumbula ndibambelele emagxeni kamama['] kwaye equbha phantsi kwamanzi, ndikhumbula ukuziva ndingabi nabunzima, kwaye kwavakala njengelinye ilizwe ngaphantsi phaya. 

2. Ndikhumbula utata wam efumana [e] ibhodi yomzimba yogwebu enexabiso eliphantsi kwaye ndikhumbula ndisiya kumaza amancinane eBotany Bay nokuziva amandla endityhala phambili ndinyukele entlabathini. Ndiyayithanda!"

Q. Yintoni eyakukhuthaza ukuba ube ngumfoti wolwandle? 

“Utata wazibulala xa ndandineminyaka esi-7 okanye esi-8 ubudala saza safuduka eSydney ezantsi kunxweme, kanye kulwandlekazi, ukuze siqalise ngokutsha. Ulwandle lwaba ngumfundisi-ntsapho omkhulu kum ukusukela ngoko. Indifundise umonde, intlonipho kunye nendlela yokuhamba. Ndaguqukela kuyo ngamaxesha oxinzelelo okanye amaxhala. Ndandibhiyoza kunye nabahlobo bam xa sasikhwele izigebenga, iziqhushumbisi ezingenanto kwaye sivuyisana. Indinike okuninzi kwaye ndisekele imisebenzi yam yobomi ngeenxa zonke kuyo. 

Xa ndathatha ikhamera yam yokuqala (ukusuka kwindawo yokulimala edolweni, umthambo wokuzalisa ixesha) yayiyeyona nto isengqiqweni kum ukuba ndifote kwindlela yokuchacha.” 

Umbuzo: Ucinga ukuba iintlobo zolwandle/zolwandle ziza kutshintsha njani kwiminyaka ezayo kwaye oko kuya kuwuchaphazela njani umsebenzi wakho? 

“Utshintsho oluqhubekayo aluchaphazeli nje kuphela umsebenzi wam kodwa lubambe iimpembelelo ezinzulu kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi bethu. Ulwandle, oludla ngokubizwa ngokuba yimiphunga yesi sijikelezi-langa, lunendima ebalulekileyo ekulawuleni imozulu yethu, yaye ukuguquka kwalo okungazange kubonwe ngaphambili kubangela inkxalabo. 

Iirekhodi zakutsha nje zibonisa eyona nyanga ishushu kwezakha zabonwa embalini, kwaye lo mkhwa wothusayo uqhubela phambili ukugcwala kweasidi elwandle kunye neziganeko zokuphuma bomvu kwelwandle, zibeka emngciphekweni ubomi kunye nokhuseleko lokutya kwenkitha yabantu abaxhomekeke kwimithombo yokulondoloza ubomi yolwandle.  

Ngaphezu koko, ukwanda kwemozulu embi, okwenzeka ngamaxesha axhomis’ amehlo, kongezelela kubunzima bale meko. Njengoko sicamngca ngekamva lethu nelifa esilishiyela izizukulwana ezizayo, ukulondolozwa kwesijikelezi-langa neelwandle zaso kuba yinkxalabo engxamisekileyo nesuka entliziyweni.”

Umbuzo: Ucinga ukuba ikamva lisiphathele ntoni ulwandlekazi? Ngaba ucinga ukuba ukufudumala kwehlabathi (okanye olunye utshintsho) kuya kulimaza ebomini bakho? Chaza. 

Ukunyuka kwe9^th Grader: “Ndikholelwa ngokupheleleyo ukuba isizukulwana sethu siya kufumana imiphumo yokufudumala komhlaba. Sele ndibone iindaba zokuba iirekhodi zobushushu zaphulwe, kwaye mhlawumbi ziya kuqhubeka zaphulwa kwixesha elizayo. Kambe ke, iilwandle zifunxa ubuninzi bobu bushushu, yaye oku kuthetha ukuba amaqondo obushushu aselwandle aya kuqhubeka enyuka. Ngokucacileyo oku kuya kuchaphazela ubomi baselwandle elwandle kodwa kwakhona kuya kuba nefuthe elihlala lihleli kubemi boluntu ngendlela yokunyuka kwamaqondo olwandle kunye nezaqhwithi eziyingozi ngakumbi.” 

Ukunyuka kwe10^th Grader: “Ndicinga ukuba ikamva lolwandlekazi lelokuba ubushushu balo buya kuqhubeka [bunyuka] ngenxa yokuba lufunxa ubushushu obubangelwa kukufudumala komhlaba ngaphandle kokuba uluntu ludibana ukuze lufumanise [indlela] yokutshintsha oko.” 

Ukunyuka kwe11^th Grader: “Ndicinga ukuba kuya kubakho utshintsho oluninzi kulwandlekazi olususela kukutshintsha kwemozulu njengokuba [ngokuqinisekileyo] kuya kubakho ulwandle oluninzi kunomhlaba njengokunyuka kweelwandle kwaye kungabi zininzi kangako iingcongolo zekorale kwaye nje ngokubanzi njengoko sirhweba ngakumbi kwaye sibeka ngaphezulu. iinqanawa phaya phandle ulwandle luya kuvakala ngokoqobo kunokuba kwakunjalo kwiminyaka engama-50 eyadlulayo[.]”

Amava oLwandle

Njengoko kulindelekile, amabali angasentla abonisa iintlobo ngeentlobo zembonakalo yolwandle kunye neempembelelo. Zininzi izinto ozithathayo njengoko ufunda ngeempendulo zemibuzo. 

Ezithathu ziphawulwe ngezantsi: 

1. Ulwandle lunxulunyaniswa namashishini amaninzi kwaye ngenxa yoko, ukukhuselwa kwemithombo yolwandle kubalulekile kungekuphela nje ngenxa yendalo, kodwa nangenxa yezizathu zemali. 
2. Abafundi bezikolo eziphakamileyo bakhula benokuqonda okunzulu kwezoyikiso kulwandle kunezizukulwana ezidlulileyo. Khawufane ucinge ukuba ubunale nqanaba lokuqonda kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo.  
3. Abantu abaqhelekileyo kunye neenzululwazi ngokufanayo bayayazi imingeni ekhoyo ngoku ejongene nolwandle.

*Iimpendulo zihlelwe ukuze zicace* 

Ke, xa uphinda uphinda umbuzo wokuvula wale bhlog, umntu unokubona iimpendulo ezahlukeneyo. Nangona kunjalo, yiyantlukwano yamava oluntu kunye nolwandle olusidibanisayo, kumazwekazi onke, kumashishini, kunye namanqanaba obomi.
