ezinesomiso ngakho sifuna ukutshala amadlelo amaningi otshani kanye
nezilimo eziyisembozo.
Umsebenzi wokukhiqiza wanoma yiliphi ibhizinisi ungahlaziwa
ngokubuza imibuzo enje:
• Impumelelo yomsebenzi – ngifinyelela kanjani egolini lebhizinisi lami?
• Impumelelo yekhono – yiziphi izindleko ongene kuzo endleleni
yokuphumelelisa igoli lakho?
Imenenja umuntu oplanayo, ohlelayo, oqondisayo nolawula ukwa-
belwa kwabantu, impahla phecelezi
material
, izimali kanye nolwazi
lwezinsiza zokulandela amagoli ebhizinisi futhi uma ungumlimi kusho
ukuthi WENA! Ngabe ucophelela kangakanani nokuhlaziya uma upla-
na imisebenzi yakho yokulima? Ngabe uqoqa ulwazi, ukubheka inda-
wo yezolimo, ukulinganisa umsebenzi wezithukuthuku zakho, izimoto
zakho namasamplimenti, amasimu akho? Ngabe ukucabanga kwakho
ngokujulile kungakanani okuletha ekulimeni kwakho?
Ukuphazamisa amaphethini amadala
ajwayelekile emkhakheni wezolimo
Kwesinye isikhathi ushintsho luthambile nangokuzikhethela kwakho,
isibonelo, mhlawumbe kudingeka silethe isilimo sesithathu kusistimu
yethu yokushintshanisa izilimo noma mhlawumbe kudingeka siqashe
enye insimu ukuze sikwazi ukuthi kube kuqhubeka ukushintshanisa;
kodwa kunezikhathi eziningi lapho kufika khona isidingo sokushi-
ntshanisa siba sikhulu kakhulu ‘ebusweni bakho’ kuze kungakhu-
luleki futhi kube yinselelo enkulu. Akekho kithina owabiza isomiso
noma ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu ezimpilweni zethu kodwa siqinisile
ngokubhekana nezinkinga futhi sijwayeze amasistimu okulima ukuze
simelane kangcono nalezi zinselelo.
Kulula kabi ukuthi cha oguqukweni kodwa akukhona ukuhlakanipha
Qinisekisa ukuthi izizathu zakho akuzona izaba nje nemizamo yoku-
hlala entweni ejwayelekile: Anginaso isikhathi esanele; ayikho imali
eyanele; sengimdala kakhulu ukuba ngingashintsha; Angazi ukuthi
ngingashintsha kanjani; ngizokwazi kanjani ukuthi kuzoba usizo …
uguquko ludinga isibindi.
Kukangakhi singabhekani nemiqondo
emisha emkhakheni wezolimo?
Eminyangeni engama-40 sisekulimeni senze izinguquko eziningi,
ubuchwepheshe obusha, izinguquko kumadimandi abathengi, ama-
sistimu angcono, ingcindezi ngemisebenzi ekuncipheni kwenzuzo;
izinguquko zamaplane omshwalensi kanye namathuba oxhaso lweze-
zimali. Ngakho sezwa:
• ‘Okukhulu kungcono’ – ngabe lokhu kusho ukuthi umsebenzi wami
wokulima mncane noma awuqinile?
• ‘Ithileji eminimamu’, ‘ino – thileji’, ‘i-
conservation tillage
’ – igama
elisha elidumile elithi ulusungulwa kabusha kokulima phecelezi
‘
regenerative farming
’; – yuliphi elilungele mina? Yiliphi enginga-
likhona?
• ‘I-
Climate smart farming
’ – Ngingumlimi omncane phecelezi
i-
small-scale
; ngingashintshela kanjani ku-
climate smart farming
?
Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi yini engcono esifundeni sami? Ubani oku-
fanele ngimlalele?
ISIPHETHO
Qina isibindi futhi uyivume leyo ngcindezi yoguquko luhlale lukhona.
Akuyona yonke into okufanele iguqulwe. Kodwa kudingeka ukuthi si-
nethiwekhe, asizifundiseni thina, sixhume emibonweni yochwephe-
she futhi silubone lolo guquko ngezinhlobo eziningi kubalulekile
empilweni nasemsebenzini womlimi. Abalimi abaphumelelayo naba-
guqukayo babalulekile ekwakheni izwe lethu. Ukuthuthuka ngamunye
nasekulimeni koyedwa akuguquki futhi kungamandla adingekayo.
Ukuthanda ukulalela, ukufunda nokuguquka ukuqala kwempume-
lelo. Umqondo wokugcina futhi: ‘Izolo bengihlakaniphile ngakho ke
bengifuna ukuguqula umhlaba. Namuhla nginobuhlakani ngakho ke
ngiziguqukela mina!’
