Umbhali - uDenis Chizh
Ngempelasonto ngiyozihambela nomngani wami. Bahamba nendodana yakhe baya nayo esifundweni esisesikhungweni sokungcebeleka sendawo lapho behamba ngezinyawo. Indodana yami ineminyaka engu-8 ubudala futhi ihlala nomama wayo. Lapho omunye esemkhakheni wokunaka kukamama, indodana iqala ukuthatha isinyathelo, ukuze idonsele ukunaka kuyo.
Safika eHouse of Culture sekusele ihora kuqale amakilasi, emva kwalokho kwaba nezingxoxo ezimnandi phakathi kukamama nendodana. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umama wahlala ezolile ngaso sonke isikhathi, nakuba ngezinye izikhathi ngangifuna ukusebenzisa izinyathelo zokufundisa ezinganele enganeni:
Intombazane: “Ungahamba nathi sihambe, bese sizokuletha lapha futhi? Noma uzolinda ukuthi ikilasi liqale lapha, bese sithatha uhambo ngaphandle kwakho?
Ingane (ediniwe): "Angifuni ukuphuma."
Intombazane: "Kulungile, sizohamba noDenis, futhi uzobe ulinde ukuqala kwamakilasi lapha."
Ingane (ngokucasulayo): "Angifuni ukuba ngedwa, nginesizungu ngedwa!"
Intombazane: "Asihambe-ke, sihambe nathi."
Ingane (eqale intukuthelo): "Ngikutshelile, ngikhathele!"
Intombazane: “Nquma ukuthi yini ofuna okwengeziwe: hamba nathi noma uhlale uphumule lapha. Sifuna ukuyoshaywa umoya, ukuze singahlali nawe lapha.”
Ingane (ngokucasuka): "Ngeke ngikuvumele uye ndawo!"
Intombazane: "Kulungile, linda kuqale amakilasi lapha, futhi sizohamba ngezinyawo."
Naphezu kwezenzo ezingokomzwelo eziqhubekayo zengane, sashiya indawo yokuzijabulisa sahamba ngezinyawo. Ngemva kwemizuzu emi-2, lapho sikolunye uhlangothi lwesigcawu, umama wathola ucingo oluvela kundodana yakhe. Wacela ukumnika imali yemishini yokudlala ukuze abe nento azoyenza esalindile.
Ntombi: "Kulungile, sesivele sasuka esigodlweni, simi ngale kwesigcawu, woza kithi ngizokunika imali."
Ingane yaphuma igijima esigodlweni, yaqalaza, yasithola, yaqala yanyakazisa unina ukuba aye kuye. Kuphendula intombazane yaqala yanyakazisa isandla ukuze indodana yayo ize kuye. Indodana yaqala ukugxuma (ngokusobala, ebonisa intukuthelo), futhi yabiza unina kuye ngamandla. Lokhu kwathatha cishe imizuzwana eyishumi, okwathi ngemva kwalokho intombazane yafulathela indodana yayo yathi kimi: “Asambe.” Sahamba futhi ngemva kwesigamu somzuzu wanyamalala ekhoneni. Ngemva komzuzu, kwangena ucingo lwesibili luvela endodaneni yakhe:
Ingane (ecasulayo): "Kungani ungezanga kimi?"
Intombazane: “Ngoba udinga imali yokuthenga imishini. Nginitshelile ukuthi ningawathatha kanjani kimi: wozani kimi niwathathe. Ubungafuni ukuya kimina, uzikhethele wena, uzenzele ukuthi ungadlali izikhala.”
Lokhu kwayiqeda inkhulumomphendvulwano, futhi ngaphetha ngokuthi kwakudingeka ngizilolonge kaningi ekulawuleni ukukhohlisa kwezingane. Kuze kube manje, ngiyanyakaza ngokomzwelo ngalawa “maqhinga” wobuntwana.
