ISAHLUKO SOKUQALA

Wi wi wi! Kwakukhala imoto yamaphoyisa eyayibhalwe ukuthi ingeyasesiteshini saseGamalakhe, ishayelwa yiphoyisa lomthetho uNkonzo Nichodemus Motsamai, impiza kuMarine Drive umgwaqo osuka ePort Shepstone uya eMargate. Wayivulele lo msindo ukuze kuqhele izimoto ezazisemgwaqweni khona kuzodlula yena nothandiweyo wakhe. Wawungafunga ukuthi kunesimo esiphuthumayo esasibiza abomthetho kanti cha kwakuyinkanuko nje kule nsizwa.

Lolu swahla lwensizwa lwalulunde, lunamehlo amakhulu aphumele phandle, kungathi azoqathaka. Ayehlala ekhazimula kugijima amanzi kuwo ngenxa yokucwila ezinkambini zikaFaro. Yayimilise okomdlali webhola, inamagwegwe futhi inesifuba esibanzi njengabaqubuli bezinsimbi. Ukwakheka kahle kobuso bayo obumnyama suce obude yikho okwakuyinkinga kakhulu ngoba babuyibizela amantombazane ngapha nangapha.

Nayo yayingazibekanga phansi ngokuthanda iziketi. Umkayo uMbali wayesekhulume waze woma amathe ekhuza umkhuba wokuhluleka wukuziphatha. Kwaze kwafika isikhathi sokwamukela ukuthi unyaka nonyaka kuzoba nengane entsha eyethulwa wumyeni wakhe eyilande phandle komshado, yize babenayo eyabo eyayibahlanganisa.

Ukwehla enyuka ngemoto yamaphoyisa kwakuwumkhuba wakhe ayesethole izincwadi zesixwayiso sokuthola izijeziso emsebenzini ngayo kaningana kodwa lutho ukuzwa. Nangalolu suku wayephuthuma ngemoto yomsebenzi evela kolanda enye yezintombi zakhe esikoleni, uThando.

Le ngane yayiwumfanekiso wanina ngokumila nangebala layo elalingamunwe. Yayinemilenze emincinyana eqondile, inamehlo adonsekile kungathi izalwa emazweni aseMpumalanga. Eyayikuthathe kuyise uKhanyile kwaba wubufishane nezinwele ezaziwumbala omnyama kodwa okungathi uthanda ukuba nsundu sengathi kufakwe udayi.

Yayizalwa nodadewabo abathathu uNomalungelo noNokuthula ababengamawele sebefunda enyuvesi kanye nothunjana wakubo uNontokozo owayesasebangeni lesithupha. Yena uThando wayefunda ibanga leshumi nanye esikoleni ePort Shepstone High okwakuyisikole esasidume ngokuba nemiphumela emihle. Abazali bayo babona kuyisona sikole esasimfanele. Babebona kuyiyona ngane eyayizokwenza izinto ezimangalisayo emndenini wabo.

Nanguya-ke uThando emotweni yomthetho eyayishayelwa yisoka lakhe elalimlande esikoleni phambi kwezingane ezazisalinde amabhasi esikole.

Ubabonile baby indlela ebesibukwe ngayo yileziya zingane neziketi zazo ezimifishane? kubuza uThando emunca usimangothi.

Liphendule isoka lamanyala, Uyazi angibonanga lutho, bekuduma wena nje la ekhanda.

Usuqalile ngokungi-charmer ngezinto zakudala, kusho intombi ngokumoyizela.

Usho ngoba ungazi ukuthi la mehlo awokubheka wena wedwa? Uma ungakaboni ukuthi uyikho konke kimi angazi kumele ngenze njani.

Ngiyokukholwa lokho mhla wenza lokho olokhu ungibambise udonga ngakho.

Ngethembeke kabi ukuba ngingakubambisa udonga. Ngabe yini le engikukweleta yona?

It’s the word that starts with a big ‘D’.

Idumbe, idombolo, umdokwe...

Aqala ngo-D lawo magama? Musa ukudlala ngami ngoba wazi kahle ukuthi ngisho u-D ka-Divorce.

Masingayi lapho kungakapheli nehora nje sindawonye love.

There’s no point in ignoring the issue sthandwa. Sezintathu manje izinyanga ngilindile.

Yini engingakwenzeli yona?

Awungiholeli enough.

Usile uyazi, ngiyakuholela ngiphinde ngikubhansele ngezipho ukusho awaneliswa ngiyabona.

Wamoyizela kodwa esenamahloni kancane uThando ngokuveza ukunganeliswa kwakhe yimali ayeyithola kule nsizwa. Ubudlelwano babo babungasibo obokuthadana kuphela, uThando wayesebenza eSweet Muffins okwakuyibhekawozi kaMotsamai eyayiseVungu. Ukunganeliswa yimali eyiyiphiwa abazali kwabiza ukuthi ingane kaKhanyile iye kofuna umsebenzi wangezimpelasonto, ngenhlanhla yawuthola. Akugcinanga ngokuba isayine inkontileka yokuqashwa, kwaba nanenkontileka yothando eyasayinwa enhliziyweni lilinye nje isonto ithole umsebenzi.

Uyazi muntu wami angikuthandi ukuhlanganisa umsebenzi nezindaba zethu, kuqhubeka uNkonzo. Ngiwumqashi wakho nge-weekend, phakathi nesonto siyathandana. Masingazididanisi lezi zinto. Awukwazi ukungibuza izinto zomsebenzi ngingekho ehhovisi.

Ngiyaxolisa sthandwa, kuphendula uThando egwinya amahloni bese wabeka isandla sakhe phezu kwesesoka lakhe.

Ekitazeka uNkonzo, Uzongishayisisa ngezimoto wena ngane.

Ngane?

Kanti yini u-baby ngesiNgisi?

Bahleka imoto yajika emorobhothini aseShelly aphakathi kwaseSpar naseFoodlovers Market. Bajikela kwesokunxele babheka ngasolwandle. Yathi uma idlula erobhothini wawucisha umsindo wokugudluza izimoto uNkonzo. Behla njalo baya kopaka imoto olwandle babuka ukuthula okwakusolwandle. Amagagasi ayengemakhulu ngalelo langa elokhu ethi chushu chushu kancane emanzini aluhlaza njengesibhakabhaka esasingenafu.

Njengazo zonke izithandani bahlala baqhuba uthando lwabo phansi kwezihlahla bepake buqamama nabantu. Badla iNandos eyayibaba ikhipha amafinyila eyayifike noNkonzo. Bayehlisa ngejusi yamagilebhisi eyayisebhokisini eliyilitha elilodwa ababeyiphuza ngesitro esisodwa beshintshana. Kwakumnandi othandweni lwabo, kungekho okwakungabahlukanisa. Okwakumjabulisa kakhulu uNkonzo wukuthi wayekwazile ukufihla uthando lwabo kubazali baThando ayesaba ukuthi babebanga wuhlupho kuye.

Uyise kaThando kwakulula ukumfihlela ngoba wayesebenza eThekwini ewumuntu obuya ngezimpelasonto. Wayesebenza njengenduna efemini eyayiseJacobs kwaMelly Mats eyayakha omata ababizayo, ababedayiselwa amazwe aphesheya. Kwakuyifemu enkulu futhi esefake inqwaba yabantu abaziyo ababedinga umsebenzi njengoba wayeseneminyaka engamashumi amathathu esebenza khona.

Umuntu owayengase abe yinkinga kulezi zithandani kwakungunina kaThando owayegada izingane ekhaya nogogo wakhe njengoba uKhanyile wayengahlali ekhaya. Inkinga ngoMaSibiya kwakungasikho ubukhona bakhe ekhaya kuphela, kepha njengalo isoka lentombazane yakhe wayeyiphoyisa lomthetho elaselimnkantshu bomvu.

UMaSibiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amahlanu, esesebenze njengephoyisa iminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu. Wawungeke usasho nokuthi wayeqala ukusebenza emaphoyiseni engumabhalane. Kwathi lapho uhulumeni eqala uhlelo lokuqashwa ngokulinganisa abantu ngokobulili, waba ngomunye wabokuqala besifazane abamnyama abangena baba ngamaphoyisa. Ngenxa yokusebenza ngokuzimisela kwakhe wayelokhu enyuswa ngokwezigaba zezikhundla zombutho waze finyelela esikhundleni sobu-Warrant Officer njengesethenjwa kubaseshi be-Police Special Task Force yaseMargate.

UThando wayehlala ekhumbuza isoka lakhe ukuba lingazikhathazi ngonina ngoba kwakungekho ayekusola ngengane yakhe. Lwalungekho uphawu lokuqoma kuyo futhi nonina wayeyethemba kakhulu kunazo zonke izingane zakhe. Wayengasizo lezi zingane ezazithi uma zike zaqoma kwazi nengane encane ukuthi ziziqome kuphi ngenxa yokwehlwa kwenyuka nomgwaqo kugonenwe ngaphandle kwenhlonipho.

Le ndawo ababekuyo kwakuyindawo yabo yothando. Babephola kuyo njalo uma ephuma esikoleni uThando, esebenza noma engasebenzi uNkonzo. Ngalolu suku babehlezi bebukana kungathi iminjunju yothando yayifuna ukuphuma ngeziqubu zoboya. UThando wayeqamele esifubeni sesoka lakhe esasibanzi sifudumele uthando.

Uyazi baby ngifisa sengathi lolu suku lungangaphela, kusho uNkonzo.

Nami ngifisa kanjalo kodwa kumele ngigoduke, ke ngiyocabanga kahle, kuphendula uThando.

Kucatshwangani le engaka?

Kunodaba olungisindayo engisalucubungula la ekhanda lami.

Umuntu ucubungula izinto yedwa ngikhona, khuluma ngilalele, esho emphulula izinwele kungathi uzodonsa ikamu avule ulayini amluke.

Uyazi ezinye izinto uvele uphelelwa amagama love.

I told you ukuthi I am here for you.

Inkinga wukuthi angazi ukuthi uzongibuka kanjani uma sengikutshelile.

Ubulele umuntu?

Cha,

Untshontshile emsebenzini?

Never!

Ayike noma ngabe yini ozoyisho emuva kwalokho ayizukushintsha lutho.

Ukuba bengibulele umuntu ubuzothini?

Bengizothi masifune ufakazi simbulale.

Wamoyizela, Uyazi wena futhi!

Ukuba bewuntshontshile bengizokunciza indlebe bese ngithi ungaphinde ukwenze lokho.

Kuphela nje?

Kuphela nje. Kanti wena awazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuthanda umuntu ngiyabona.

Okay, here goes! Nkosi yami!. Axebuke esifubeni sikaNkonzo bese ambuke emehlweni. Avule umlomo ankwankwaze amagama ala ukuphuma. Athule abuke umuntu wakhe owayembheke ngqo emehlweni engacwayizi. Emuva kwemizuzwana asondele kuye bese amqabule esihlathini, I’m pregnant!

Ini? Amphushele kude acishe ashayele esicabheni bese avule esakhe isicabha, aphume.

Asale umntakaKhanyile emangele. UNkonzo azungeze imoto, UThando athule ambuke nje. Athi esuka uNkonzo acoshe amatshe amahlanu awaphose olwandle. Kwakungathi itshe nentshe limele ingane nengane ayeyithole ngaphandle komshando eseshadelwe. Nakhu kwasekufike enye futhi. Wamcabanga umkakhe ekhaya ukuthi wayezombhekelwa wubani njengoba wayemethembise ukuthi kwakungeke kusenzeka iphutha elifanayo.

UThando avule isicabha asondele kuye. Manje ulwandle lushaywa nje lwenzeni?

Lutho! kuphendula uNkonzo encisha isithandwa sakhe amehlo.

So, what’s the plan? Atshelwe yini uMa or uzobona ngawe sewuzohlawula?

Wambuka wasondela kuye manje uNkonzo, wamanga umzuzwana. Lo mzuzwana enhliziyweni kaThando waba mude kakhulu. Ezibuza eziphendula ukuthi wawusho ukulunga noma ukonakala kwezinto na. Wayesamukela isimo noma wawuzolandelwa ukuphela kothando. Waqhubeka lo mzuzwana noNkonzo exakekile efuna indlela yokubeka isinqumo okwakungamthathanga sikhathi esitheni ukufinyelela kuso. Lesi sinqumo sasibe yingxenye yesethembiso asenza nxashana eletha ingane yokugcina kumkakhe. Ukuphula lesi sinqumo kwakuzobe kusho ukuphela komshado kuye. Wamdedela uThando bese wambamba ebusweni babukana ngqo ezinhlamvini zamehlo. Wasondela kakhulu uNkonzo wamqabula bese wathi, Uzosikhipha le sisu.

Wagcwala izinyembezi uThando kwangathi bezivele zilindele ukwamukela la mazwi. Wafaka isandla ephaketheni uNkonzo wakhipha amakhadi akhe nawo wonke amaphepha ayewagcine kuwo, bese wathi, Yonke leyo mali elapho eyakho. Yithathe uye kudokotela uyozwa khona ukuthi yimalini.

Wasuka lapho wakhipha iselula yakhe washaya ucingo, waluphendula owayeshayelwa. Lalela mfwethu kunengane yesikole engiyifice ikhala la ngasolwandle ithi iyagula. Umkami uthi kunokuphuthumayo ekhaya manje angeke ngikwazi ukuyisiza. Ngicela ufike uyithathe uyihambise kudokotela, ngiyishiye nemali.

Wayishaya yazula kakhulu imoto kahulumeni uNkonzo. Ingane yabantu yasala ikhala izithulisa. Yasondela olwandle icabanga ukulandela amagagasi ayebuyela kunina yabuye bazikhuza. Yahlehla kuwo yasondela etsheni yaqamela kulo okomhambi wezihambi u-Jakobe waseBhayibhilini. Yakhala intombi kaKhanyile yaze yahlala phansi yanaba esihlabathini esifudumele solwandle.

Kwathi sekubuhlungu inyama ebiyele amehlo futhi nawo esezingoxini okwengane ekhishwa yisisu ngenxa yokuqhumisa wasukuma wazithintitha. Akazange esayilinda neleyo moto ayengayazi eyayibiziwe. Wayengazi noma lowo mshayeli wayengezukumbulala na ngakho wakhetha ukubhadazela akhuphukele eShelly Centre lapho athola khona amatekisi agodukayo.

Uthando lwalumjikele uThando lwaziveza luyinkohliso. Lwaveza ubuqiniso bokungabi naqiniso kwamadoda ashadile athandana nezingane zesikole. Wazibona eyisiwula ngokwethemba umuntu ayazi kahle ukuthi unenqwaba yezingane ayezithole eseganiwe. Okwamxaka wukuthi kwakungani esakhe isisu kuthiwe masichithwe kube ezabanye zamukelwa. Kwakuyishwa. Ishwa elalibukeka lizobulala konke ayebambelele kukho – umndeni, imfundo nothando.

Wafika ekhaya wavulela amanzi kompompi bobabili, owabandayo nowashisayo, elindele ukungena emanzini afudumele kamnandi. Wafaka insipho yobisi lwe-almond nevanila engamagwebu ayeyithengelwe kwaWoolworths wuye lo mlisa owayesemkhwife okwamathe. Ngenxa yobundikindiki bomzimba akazange anake nokuthi kwakuphume amanzi abandayo kompompi bobabili njengoba igiza yayinganyuswanga. Wayetubekile, etutshwe wusizi lomhlaba.

Wabuka umzimba wakhe owawungembethe kwangathi ubukwa wumhlaba wonke. Wafikelwa wukuzenyeza. Kwaba sengathi sewushintshe umbala wakhandleka njengobhavu wakubo owawumhlophe kodwa ngokuhamba kweminyaka wagqungqa. Babewuhlanza njalo ngezinto zakhona neziponji kodwa umbala owaphuma uwuwo esitolo ungasavumi ukubuya.

Njengawo lo bhavu umuntu wayezalwa emhlophe, emsulwa ekhanga bonke abadlulayo kepha ubunzima bomhlaba bumdikadike aze aphelelwe wubuhle. Nokho-ke njengawo lo bhavu owawubamukela abantu abageza kuwo bebakhulu ngomzimba abanye bebancane, izingubo ezazihlanzwa kuwo ezaziziningi nezimbalwa, kwakukunabantu ababekwazi ukwamukela nokumela izimo ezinhlobonhlobo abezithola seziphambi kwabo. Njengobhavu babevuma ukuba kufike abantu bezokhuculela insila yabo kubo.

Abanye babekwazi ukuzihudula bangakhathali nakuba umthwalo ubasinda. Babebekezela inqobo uma besayizwa imithambo ishaya. Uma izinduku zewashi zisaya phambili, nelanga lisabuya ekuseni, kuthi uma kufika uvalo lusho luthi gi, gi, gi, unyawo lusavuma ukuya phambili babebambelela ithembeni lona okulokhu kwathiwa ‘kalibulali’.

Lithi iBhayibheli elingcwele ‘Babusisiwe abathemba kuJehova, nothemba labo linguJehova." Leli zwi ngathi labhalwa emuva kokubona usizi lokubekezela ugogo kaThando ayedlule kubo. Le ntombi endala uMaNgcobo yaze yaba yisaga ngakubo. Kwakuzwakala abakhokheli emasontweni bethi, ‘Anobekezela njengoMaNgcobo makhosikazi.’

Lesi salukwazi esasizala uyise kaThando sasikhulise izingane zazo kanzima kudliwa imbuya ngothi. Phezu kokuxakwa okwakuzongena ethunjini nothandiweyo waso owayenothando olwaluluningi kangangoba kwakungavumi alwabele uMaNgcobo kuphela. Kwakungekho nansimi etheni ayengayilima ngoba umyeni wakhe wayehluphe waze wadingiselwa emhlabeni owawungetheli. Kulowo mhlaba ongavundile ababehlala kuwo, wabashiya umkhulu waya kofuna imisebenzi emadolobheni. Nalapho wayehlala angabuyi kuze kuphele inyanga.

Kulokho kubuya kwakhe, wayefika ephethe amasenti angatheni ayengeke ayanelise imilomo eyayigcwele endlini. Ugogo wayethatha leyo mali ayithumele ezikoleni ezikude okwakufunda kuyo izingane zakhe bona bese aye kokhothoza uqadolo wokupheka isigwamba esasizodliwa wumyeni wakhe nezingane zamanye amakhosikazi ezazilaxazwe egcekeni ethi ngezomyeni wakhe. Lolu qadolo namuhla abazukulu baMaNgcobo abangeke balinge balufake phansi kwekhala. Babengazi ukuthi lwaluke lwaba wumthombo wamandla angena akhulisa iqhawekazi elathwala uyise lawmuthi dinsi kulo mhlaba.

Indlala yayiyisimo esasivamile esizweni sabampisholo. Izimo okwakukhulwe ngaphansi kwazo zazingabanqanda bangakwazi ukusabalalisa imiqondo yabo bakwazi ukuthola izindlela zokuziphilisa nokwakhela izizukulwane umnotho oyisisekelo sempilo. Leso simo-ke uMaNgcobo wayesamukele njengesabelo sakhe kulo mhlaba njengoba wayamukele ubusoka bomyeni wakhe.

Njengoba umzimba sewumbethe amanzi uThando ebuka isisu sakhe esasibonisa amaqhuzwana mazansi nesisu okwakuphawu lobukhona bengane phakathi kwaso wakhumbula usuku lwakhe lokugcina noMaNgcobo. Kwakusanda kuphela inyanga efihliwe.

Ngalolo langa uThando wayehlezi naye phansi kwesihlahla sikakotapeya emluka amagoda ezinweleni zakhe ezasezimpunga bexoxa ngezindaba zokukhula kwakhe. Kulezo zindaba ezimnandi kwadamane kwangena indaba yabafana iqhamuka ngogogo owavele wathi, Utshela lowo mfana wakho ukuthi aze angashodisi nangenkomo eyodwa!

Umfana Gogo, yini nje engihlanganisa nabafana? kubuza uThando emoyizela.

Ubhalwe ebusweni ukuthi kunomfana omqomile.

Wagwinya amathe, Awu Gogo, uzwe mina nokuqoma?

Nje.

Kanti lutho.

Ngiyakubona ufuna ukuthi ngiyimpumputhe?

Kanjani nje? Ngoba awakho asakwazi ukubona inaliti ebusuku.

Usuqalile, wenza lento eyayenziwa umkhulu wakho lapha kimi. Uyangibhuqa

Lutho Gogo, awu Gogo wami ngingakwenza kanjani lokho.

Umkhulu wakho wayehlala ebona isuwula lapha kimi. Uma ngivula umlomo angiphikise. Yingakho ngagcina sengikhetha ukuthula wahamba ekhwela izikhukhukazi ezabekela amaqanda ezweni lonke.

Gogo!

Nginamanga yini? esho emuchiliza emahlombe akhe.

Angiyithandi le ndaba ngoba ikunyusela ngehayi hayi.

Uyabo mzukulu wami, uma uzoqoma usemncane uzomitha zingabuyi izincwadi ePitoli njengezikayihlo esisazilindile nanamuhla.

Awu Gogo! Ukungaqedi ukufunda kuBaba kwasiza ukufundisa uMama buka ukuthi umndeni wethu ukuphi manje.

Wayephoqwa wukuthi wayemkhulelise khona esikoleni. Kwakumele njengendoda ashiye aye kosebenza ukuze ondle uNomalanga noNokuthula. NoThixo nezimanga wamuthi bhu ngamawele ngibe nami ngingenalutho, ngingasayibali ekayise. Wena ngifuna ungene ebuhlengikazini ufake amaqhoksi, uhambele phezulu. Ngifuna ufunde ugogode, uthi nje ungena esibhedlela uhulumeni akuthi bhu ngesikhundla esiphezulu. Ngifune uhambele phezulu njengonyoko.

Kuzoba njalo Gogo kodwa angeke ngibe wumhlengikazi.

"Ohho, uzoba wuthishelakazi njengomamncane bakho
