LI XESHA LOKULIMA LIDLULILEYO BELINGU-
NYAKA OMHLE KWEZOLIMO EMZANTSI AFRIKA.
IZITYALO BEZIZIHLE, NANGONA IMVULA IFIKE
EMVA KWEXESHA. UQIKELELO LWELI XESHA
LITSHA NALO LUSANIKA ITHEMBA KAKHU-
LU. UMBA ABALIMI ABATSHA ABAWUBONA UYIMBALELA
YENENE, YIMALI YOKULIMA. UMDLA WEEBHANKI ZORHWE-
BO KUMNGCIPHEKO WOKUBOLEKISA NGEMALI YEZITYALO
ZETHU UYADANISA. UKUBA AZITSHINTSHI IZINTO, ASISAYI
KUKUBONA UKUKHULA MALUNGA NALO MBA.
Mhlawumbi kufike ixesha lokuqwalasela uMthetho wokuNikwa
kweTyala ukuze iqukwe ngakumbi imimiselo yokuveliswa kokutya.
Kwakhona malunga neeprojekthi zikarhulumente oko kuphinda
kube yenye imbalela. Iinkxasomali zanele zona, kodwa kutheni zi-
fumaneka emva kwexesha ngonyaka ngamnye, lowo ngumbuzo
wempendulo esingade siyifumane. Iingxaki zemali zeLand Bank
azinancedo nazo. Eli liziko likarhulumente elifanele ukuqhuba
kakuhle ukuba uphuhliso lugunyaziso lwalo. Iqondeka nzima kum
into yokuba urhulumente amane egrumba iSAA elusizini lwayo,
kodwa abe engenzi njalo kwiLand Bank.
Phofu, nangaphandle kwale mibandela yokude abalimi bafumane
uncedo lwemali yezityalo, iitoni zona ziyanda. Ukunyamezela okwenza
ukuba abalimi baseMzantsi Afrika badume kukwafumaneka nakubali-
mi abatsha. Intetho ethi; ‘
’n Boer maak ‘n plan
’ (
Umlimi uba necebo
),
ikwiDNA yomlimi ngamnye, nokuba ulima kangakanani na. Inkqubo
yaseGrain SA yoPhuhliso lwabaLimi isayine iimvumelwano ezintsha
nabanikeli ukuze kuncedwe abalimi bethu ngemali. Ezinye zezi zivume-
lwano ziya kuba khona kwithuba leminyaka engaphezu kwemine. Oku
kuyakhuthaza kakhulu. Abalimi abakwezi nkqubo ezilawulwa yiGrain SA
baqhube kakuhle kanti abanikeli bakhuthazwa nazezi ziphumo.
Okokugqibela, iGrain SA yenze utyalomali olutsha lokuphu-
hlisa umsebenzi wokufama. Sifumene iQumrhu elitsha: iPhahama
Grain Phakama. Eli qumrhu liza kujolisa kuphela kuphuhliso lwaba-
limi beenkozo kwaye liza kukhokelwa ziinkokheli zaseGrain SA futhi
zilawulwe ngabasebenzi baseGrain SA.
Ndininqwenelela isivuno esihle ngo-2021. Yanga iNkosi yethu elu-
ngileyo ingasinika iimvula ezintle, njengoko yasipha uNyana wayo
ekuphela kwakhe ukuze sifumane ithuba lokulima nokuvuna isiqhamo
esihle ngomhla wokubuya kwaKhe ngenye imini. Nibe neKrisimesi emyo-
li nonyaka omtsha ophuphuma yimpumelelo nongenayo tu iCOVID.
Utshintsho aluthinteleki ...
kwakhe, waphinda wazenzela idinga lovavanyo lwempilo yakhe. Waphinda
wenza isigqibo sokuba akazi kuphinda alinde ukuba abantu bamfowunele,
kodwa uza kuba nomntu amfowunelayo amxabisileyo ancokole naye ngee-
ndaba zabo … waza wenza njalo!
Kwiveki elandelayo wathatha uhlobo lwefanishala endala ekhaya waze
waqalisa ukuluchwela kanti emva kweeyure eziliqela uza kukhupha ifa-
nishala entle nebukeka intsha – yaba ntle kangangokuba bonke abantwana
babeyicela. Oku kwaba sisiqalo seziganeko ezalandelayo. Waqala ngokuya
kwiindawo zeefandesi wathenga iintlobo ezithile zefanishala yeplanga
awayezilunga-lungisa zibe ntle aze aphe abantu izipho. Ngephanyazo
iintsuku zakhe zaqala zaxakeka zaze zachuma lulonwabo. Bezingekho iifa-
ndesi ngethuba lomvalela-ndlwini, ubusigcina kwiindawo zethu singena-
bantu sincokola nabo, ngoko ke, wema umsebenzi wakhe wokusebenza
ngeplanga, kodwa wazigcina ngokwenza izinto zokudlalisa abantwana ezi-
ntle. Kubudala beminyaka engama-86 usafunda izakhono zobuchule ezi-
ntsha yonke imihla. Mihla le kuphuhla ukuzithemba kwakhe. Utata wam
utshintshile. Kumnandi ukuhlala naye kwaye usasaza umoya ongowakhe
wothando nenkathalo. Usamkhumbula uMama ngalo lonke ixesha – kodwa
ubuphila kakuhle ubomi kwaye unika inkuthazo, nabazukulwana bakhe
bayakuthanda ukudlalisa ngeemoto nezigadla abenzela zona! Akukho
nkqubela inokuba khona ngaphandle kotshintsho; futhi abo bangenakuzi-
tshintsha iingqondo zabo abanakutshintsha nto!
‘KODWA BESISOLOKO SISEBENZA NGOLU HLOBO!’
Eli lelinye lamabinzana amagama anobungozi kakhulu. Zikhona iindlela
zakudala ezilungileyo kodwa kuyimfuneko ukuba umntu ahlole ixabiso
lokwenza izinto ngendlela ebebesoloko bezenza ngayo aze azibuze
ukuba ingaba zikhona na ezinye iindlela mhlawumbi ezintsha, ezahluki-
leyo okanye eziphucukileyo zokuyenza. Ukutshintsha isiqu sakho okanye
izicwangciso zakho ngumceli-mngeni, kodwa ukuthakazelela ukuziqhela-
nisa nemeko uze utshintshe kuthetha ukuba uzimisele ukwenza okudinge-
kayo ukuze udale izinto ezintsha ukwenzela ikamva eliqaqambileyo.
Utshitsho luyimfuneko kanti ngelinye ixesha sifanele ukukhe sinqumame
sihlole ubomi bethu, ishishini lethu, imigqaliselo yethu kunye neenjongo
zethu. Kufuneka sizibuze ukuba sifanele ukucinga ntoni malunga noku-
tshintsha. UWinston Churchill wakhe wathi: ‘Ukuziphucula kukutshintsha;
ukubalasela kukutshintsha kaninzi’
UMGANGATHO WOMSEBENZI OWENZIWEYO
Umgaqo-siseko ongundoqo kulawulo lweshishini uthi: ‘Yonke imitho-
mbo yoncedo yequmrhu engabantu neyizinto ezisetyenziswayo mayi-
setyenziswe kakuhle ngendlela efanelekileyo nangexesha elifanelekileyo
ukuze kuyilwe iimveliso zodidi oluphezulu ngezona ndleko ziphantsi’.
Oku kuthetha uhlaziyo olusoloko luqhuba nokuqaliswa kweenguquko
ngexesha, umzekelo sifanele ukwakha ibhanki yokutya ukuze kucu-
Yonke imithombo yoncedo yequmrhu engabantu
neyizinto ezisetyenziswayo mayisetyenziswe
kakuhle ngendlela efanelekileyo nangexesha
elifanelekileyo ukuze kuyilwe iimveliso zodidi
oluphezulu ngezona ndleko ziphantsi’.
