Kwita Izina, umsitho waminyaka le waseRwanda wokuthiywa kwabantwana igorila, umiselwe umhla woku-1 kuSeptemba ekungeneni kweVolcanoes National Park kwisithili saseMusanze. Kwaye, njengoko bekuqhelekile kule minyaka mi-5 idlulileyo, iVeki yoKhenketho lweNkcubeko iza kuqhuba ukusuka nge-25 ka-Agasti ukuya ku-D-day, njengomkhuseli womkhusane kulo msitho.
UGreg Bakunzi, umseki weRed Rocks Cultural Centre – abaququzeleli beVeki yoKhenketho lweNkcubeko – uthi kulo nyaka umbutho wakhe ubambisene neLinking Tourism & Conservation (LT&C), umbutho ongenzi nzuzo wolondolozo lwendalo waseYurophu, ukuququzelela ukwabelana ngolwazi, amava. , kunye nezenzo ezisebenzayo ezinceda ngokufanayo ukhenketho kunye nolondolozo lwendalo kwiindawo ezikhuselweyo.
I-LT&C isekwe kuluvo olunyanzelisayo lokuba ukhenketho, ishishini elixhamla kakhulu kwiindawo zendalo ezikhuselweyo, zinokudlala eyona ndima ibalulekileyo ekuqinisekiseni ulawulo lwazo oluzinzileyo nolusebenzayo kwihlabathi jikelele.
“Ngokusebenzisana nombutho wehlabathi wolondolozo lwendalo onjenge-LT&C, nathi sifuna ukufikelela kubaphulaphuli abaninzi kwaye sibonise ukuba ulondolozo luxanduva lwehlabathi,” wongezelela uBakunzi.
IVeki yoKhenketho lweNkcubeko iye yaba luthotho lweziganeko apho abantu baseRwanda bafumana ithuba lokubonisa ubutyebi belifa lenkcubeko yabo kwaye badlale indima ebalulekileyo kwiinzame zolondolozo. Lo msitho ukwanika abazimase uKwita Izina ithuba lokukroba “eRwanda yokwenene” ngexesha lotyelelo lwabo kweli lizwe.
Ngapha koko, abaququzeleli beVeki yoKhenketho lweNkcubeko bafuna ukuphikisa intsomi yokuba iRwanda imalunga neegorila zasezintabeni kuphela.
“IRwanda lilizwe elityebileyo ngokwenkcubeko nembali, kwaye iVeki yeNkcubeko yezoKhenketho iluthotho lwemisitho apho abantu abahlukeneyo kwiinkcubeko ezahlukeneyo badibana khona baze babelane ngamava namabali abo njengendlela yokuhlanganisa inkcubeko,” utshilo uBakunzi.
Kulo nyaka, njengakwiminyaka emi-5 edlulileyo, iVeki yoKhenketho lwezeNkcubeko iza kubandakanya imisitho ebonisa ubunyani benkcubeko yelizwe.
Iza kuba nemixholo emi-2 engundoqo: IVeki yoKhenketho lwezeNkcubeko eya kuqhuba yonke imihla ukusuka ngentsimbi yesi-2 ukuya kweyesi-6 malanga, ze emva koko iKwita Izina Nights iqalise ngentsimbi yesi-6 malanga ukuya kweye-10 malanga.
NgokukaBakunzi, iKwita Izina Nights iza kunika abakhenkethi ithuba lokonwaba emva kosuku olunzima oluchithwe endle kuhanjwa iigorila. Iindwendwe ziya kuba nethuba lokwabelana ngokutya neziselo zaseRwanda (zesintu), umdaniso womculo wesintu, kwaye zivuyiswe nangamaqhula amileyo.
Abakhenkethi nabo baya kuba nethuba lokuhlala bejikeleze umlilo kwaye babelane ngamabali abo, njengoko ookhokho babo babedla ngokwenza.
Abakhenkethi nabo banokufunda ukwenza ibhiya yebhanana yesiko (eyaziwa ekuhlaleni njenge-Urwagwa) kwaye bathathe inxaxheba ekulukeni ibhaskithi, izinto zobumba, ukupeyinta, kunye nokudanisa.
Omnye umsebenzi onomdla uya kuba yi "Gorilla Run." Apha, abantu bazakuba nethuba lokuthatha inxaxheba okanye bavuyele iimbaleki ezithatha inxaxheba kugqatso lwegorila lokuqala lweRed Rocks, oluya kudlula kwiilali ezingqonge iVolcanoes National Park.
Eminye imisitho edwelisiweyo ibandakanya uMboniso weFashoni yeNkcubeko, apho abayili baseRwanda baya kuba nethuba lokubonisa nokuthengisa iimpahla zaseRwanda ezikhethekileyo nezanamhlanje. Abakhenkethi baya kuba nethuba lokuthenga enye okanye ezimbini kwezi njengezikhumbuzo.
Ithuba lokunxibelelana
UBakunzi wongeza ngelithi “iVeki yoKhenketho lweNkcubeko lelona thuba lifanelekileyo lonxibelelwano kwimibutho yoluntu, abadlali beshishini lezokhenketho, abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo, kunye namagosa karhulumente, ethathela ingqalelo ukuba lo msitho utsala abaphulaphuli abantsonkothileyo abakuxabisayo ukuzibophelela kwethu ekufezekiseni uphuhliso loluntu oluzinzileyo ngokhenketho lwenkcubeko kunye nenkcubeko. ulondolozo.”
UFrancis Ndagijimana, onguMququzeleli weProjekthi eKhethekileyo kwiNkqubo yoLuntu lwaseVirunga, uthi iKita Izina kufanele inike iRwanda ithuba lokuthengisa ngesakhono sayo sokhenketho.
“Lo ngumsitho otsale umdla wamazwe ngamazwe. KuseRwanda ukusebenzisa [ithuba] elinjalo ukuthengisa ezinye izinto zakhe ezinomtsalane. Iindwendwe ezize kuthabatha inxaxheba kwiKwita Izina kufuneka zishiywe zingathandabuzi ezingqondweni zazo ukuba iRwanda nayo ineendawo ezinomtsalane kubakhenkethi ngaphandle kweegorila zasezintabeni,” utshilo.
UPeterson Hirwa, nowajika waba ngumkhenkethi ongekho mthethweni, uthi iCultural Tourism Week ibafundise ngexabiso lolondolozo.
