Success isn’t always about greatness.
It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work
leads to success. Greatness will come.

Kufuneka kubekho isicwangciso samanyathelo
engqondweni engasemva yomlimi ngamnye
malunga nendlela aya kuhlangabezana
ngayo nemimiselo engenazinzo.

GOKWESIQHELO UMDA WOKUQALISA NGUMGA-
NGATHO KUMDA WOKUNGENA KWISAKHIWO
OKANYE EGUMBINI – XA UMNTU ENGENA KWE-
SO SITHUBA, UNQUMLA UMDA WOKUNGENA.
KUSENOKUBHEKISELELA KWAKHONA KWITHUBA
ELITHILE LEXESHA, UMZEKELO NGOBUSUKU BOKUQHAWUKA
KONYAKA OMDALA NGENTSIMBI YE-12 ELINGUMDA WOKU-
NGENA KUNYAKA OMTSHA, NAXA UMTSHAKAZI ETSHATA
SUKUBA EMI KUMDA WOKUQALISA UBOMI OBUTSHA NO-
MYENI WAKHE.
Kwangayo le ndlela singathi xa sijonge ikhalenda yomlimi siphawule ukuba
kukho amathuba ambalwa ohlobo olulodwa kwixesha lokulima ayimida
yokuqalisa okutsha. Umlimi onamava uya kuxelelwa ngumoya wakhe
ukuba yeyiphi imida yokuqalisa okutsha, kodwa umlimi omtsha okanye
osaphuhlayo ufanele ukufunda ngemida yokuqalisa okutsha ephathelele
kwingingqi enza kuyo umsebenzi wokufama ngokubuza indlela kubalimi
abadala nakwiingcaphephe zolimo ezinamava. Ukuyazi imihla yemida
yokuqalisa okutsha sisixhobo sokulwa esibalulekileyo ebhokisini yezixhobo
zomlimi!
Ngoko ke, yeyiphi le mida yokuqalisa okutsha afanele ukuyazi umlimi?
Kukho imida eyiyona ifanelekileyo yokuqalisa ukutyala, ukutshabalalisa
ukhula, ukutshabalalisa izinambuzane ezonakalisayo neyokuvuna. Kweli
nqaku siza kuqwalasela imida yokuqalisa ukutyala.
IMIHLA EFANELEKILEYO YOKUTYALA
Umngeni oqhelekileyo abajongene nawo abalimi abasaphuhlayo kuku-
fumana uncedo lwemali yokuthenga iimveliso zamalungiselelo ezityalo
zabo ixesha liselihle. Abalimi kufuneka baqalise kwangoko ukuhlanga-
nisela isicwangciso seshishini esivakalayo baze basinike abo banokuba
ngababoneleli babo bemali. Sesibone iziganeko eziliqela zokutyunjwa
kwabalimi njengeendlalifa zeprojekthi engummangaliso – kodwa okwe-
nzekayo mhlawumbi kukufumaneka kwemali yoncedo selidlule kakhulu
ixesha, okanye iimveliso zamalungiselelo ziziswe selidlule kakhulu ixesha
kuze oku kuthintele umlimi emsebenzi wakhe emasimini ixesha liselihle
futhi angakwazi ukuqalisa ngemihla eyiyona ifanelekileyo yokutyala.
Oku kuduba umphefumlo kuba kuthetha ukuba isityalo sesikwimeko
engathembeki kakuhle singekalinywa ngokunjalo nezivuno ngokuqinise-
kileyo azinakuba zihle kangako. Olunye uxanduva esiluthwala ngamandla
njengeqela laseGrain SA loPhuhliso lwabaLimi kukuxhasa nokufundisa
abanye abadlali-ndima ngendlela ebaluleke ngayo imida yokuqalisa okutsha
okanye eyonamihla ifanelekileyo yokutyala ukuze sibe nempumelelo isityalo.
Iinyanga ezifudumeleyo
Ngakwicala lomsebenzi siyazi ukuba umbona sisityalo semozulu efudume-
leyo. Umbona udinga inani elithile elimiselweyo leeyunithi zobushushu
ukuze womelele futhi ukhule kakuhle. Amaqondo obushushu afanelekileyo
aphakathi kwe 10°C ukuya kwi 15°C afanele ukuba ulinywe ngawo umbona.
Ngoko ke, akuncedi nokutyala isityalo emhlabeni phambi kwexesha kakhulu.
Imfihlelo kukulinda ukuba ixesha lokulima lifikelele kumaqondo
obushushu anozinzo ngakumbi njengoko oko kuqinisekisa ukuhluma
kwezityalo eziselula okufanayo. Ukuba iimvula ezifike emva kwexesha
zikunyanzele ukuba utyale emva kwexesha kunemfanelo, kubalule-
kile ke ngoko ukuba wazi ukuba ufanele uziqhelanise futhi ukuba kuye-
nzeka ungajonga ekutyaleni omnye wemihlanganisela wombona okhula
ngokukhawuleza okukhulu okanye mhlawumbi ungawulimi kwaphela
umbona kodwa ukhangele esinye isityalo esikhula kwixesha elifutshane.
Iiveki zokuqala ezintathu emva kokutyala zibalulekile kwimpumelelo yesi-
tyalo kwaye iimeko ezigqubayo ziya kuba nefuthe kwisakhono sesityalo.
Qinisekisa ukuba uyazi kakuhle imida yokuqalisa okutsha efanelekileyo
yokutyala kunye nalo mida yokuqala okutsha esithi ‘selidlule kakhulu ixesha
lokutyala’.
Yazi imida yokuqalisa
ukutyala
ebaluleke
kumaxa akho okukhulisa
