SasinoUmshini OjikelezayoEzinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule lokho kwasibangela inkinga enkulu kunanoma yini esikhathini esithile. Hhayi ngoba noma yini yayiphukile—kwakungeke nje kwenze indwangu ibukeke kahle.

Ikhasimende lithumele isampula yalo yoboya kanye neshidi lokuhlola. Konke kwakubukeka kukuhle ephepheni. Kodwa lapho senza isivivinyo sokuqala, ubuso bendwangu babunokungalingani okuncane. Akwanele ukuhluleka ukuhlolwa, kodwa kwanele ukuthi ubungakubona ngaphansi kokukhanya okuhle. Cishe abantu abaningi ngabe bakuthumele. Asizange.

Ngakho sashintsha uboya sabusebenzisa futhi. Sisekhona lapho.

Sabe sesithola okuhlukile esitokweni sethu—inani elifanayo, umhlinzeki ohlukile. Kwaba ngcono kancane, kodwa hhayi kakhulu. Ngaleso sikhathi, ochwepheshe bethu ababili base bemi nje lapho bebuka umshini, bezama ukuthola ukuthi yini esasiyiphuthelwa.

Silungise isikhathi salowo Mshini Ojikelezayo kathathu. Isikhathi ngasinye lapho sibukeka kahle ngamamitha ambalwa, bese kubuya lowo mkhuba ongabonakali. Omunye wabasebenzi bethu abadala—ubelokhu ekwenza lokhu iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabili—wafika ngoMgqibelo ngoba kwakumkhathaza. Waletha i-loupe yakhe futhi wama lapho ebuka ukuthi izinaliti zithintana kanjani.

Ekugcineni, kwakungewona umshini nhlobo. Intambo yayinokusonteka okungafani kusukela kukhoni kuya kukhoni. Kwasithatha cishe isonto ukuthola lokho. Sabuyela kumthengi, sachaza, bathumela inqwaba entsha, futhi ekugcineni indwangu yaphuma ngendlela okufanele iphume ngayo.

IUmshini Wokukhiya OhlanganisiweSithumele cishe ngesikhathi esifanayo saba nenkinga yaso. Inkinga ehlukile—ukufana kokuthunga kwaqala ukukhukhuleka kancane ngemva kwamahora ambalwa. Sacela umuntu wethu wokulinganisa ukuthi abuye kabili ukuze ahlole ukuphakama kwesinki futhi. Wayelokhu ethi “kungaphakathi kwemininingwane,” kodwa wawungabona ukuthi naye wayengakholwa.

Ngakho sahlukanisa ingxenye yekhamera, sahlanza konke, sayibeka futhi ngesethi entsha yezinaliti ukuze siqiniseke.

Ngesikhathi imishini yomibili iphuma, ngicabanga ukuthi abantu abahlanu abahlukene base beyihlolile. Mhlawumbe kakhulu. Kodwa akekho owayefuna ukuba ngumuntu ovumela into ethile ukuthi ihambe ngendlela engalungile.

Ngezinye izikhathi ngiyazibuza ukuthi sichitha isikhathi esiningi kakhulu kulolu hlobo lwento. Kodwa-ke, njalo uma siphuthuma into ethile esikhathini esidlule, iyabuya kamuva.

Ngakho-ke manje siphinda sidlule kukho futhi. Shintsha uboya futhi. Lungisa isikhathi futhi. Shayela othile uma kudingeka. Kuhamba kancane impela. Kodwa okungenani uma kukhona okushiyayo lapha, siyazi ukuthi sithumela ini.
