Ezi ndaba zisothusa kancinane kule veki xa zinika ingxelo ngobomi baseZimbabwe. Ekuqaleni siva ukuba ubhubhani wekholera uya usiba mandundu. Kwaye ke uRobert Mugabe uthi iphantsi kolawulo kwaye akukho bhubhane. Ngoku sixelelwa ngomnye wabaPhathiswa bakhe ukuba uMugabe wayethetha nje "i-sarcastic" kwaye omnye umphathiswa ubhengeze ukuba yisiphumo "semfazwe yebhayoloji" yiBritani. Mhlawumbi abanye abantu bayayikholelwa le nto - ndiyazibuza ukuba bayayikholelwa na ukuba isithethi sibhengeze ikholera isasazwa ngabaphambukeli abaluhlaza abavela kwiplanethi iZog kwaye ibingelotyala likarhulumente nangayiphi na indlela. Ngamanye ama-akhawunti, uMugabe ulumke kakhulu ngoko ke ukuphuma kweveki kuye kunye norhulumente wakhe malunga nobhubhane lwekholera kubonakala kudideka.
Ndihleli nje eHarare iiveki ezimbalwa, ndingatsho ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba ubomi balapho bubi. Abona bantu babonakala beqhuba kakuhle ngamagosa karhulumente ahamba ngeemoto ezinkulu kwaye aphila ubomi obutofotofo. Izindlu ezinkulu ziyakhiwa kwiindawo ezikhethekileyo. Kodwa, idolophu imdaka. Kwezinye iindawo uyaliva ivumba lelindle elihamba ecaleni kwendlela. Amanzi mancinci kwaye amanye amakhaya aneenyanga ezininzi engenamanzi. Umbane ucime kakhulu kunokukhanyisa.
Kukho abantu abahleli ecaleni kwezitrato abathengisa nantoni na abanayo – iitumato ezimbalwa okanye itswele, iinkuni, amaqanda. Abantwana badlakadlaka kwaye bakhangeleka belambile. Iipaki ezintle kunye nezitiya zonke zikhule kakhulu. Izibane zasesitalatweni ziwela eengile; iirobhothi zihlala zingasebenzi.
IHarare yayiyome kakhulu; hayi imvula eninzi. Ngoku iimvula zifikile singalindela ukuba ikholera (uxolo – engekhoyo) inyuke ngokukhawuleza. Ewe, ikholera ichaphazela abantu abahluphekayo kwiilokishi zaseHarare. Izibhedlele azinawo amayeza, ngoko nangona ikholera kulula ukuyinyanga, abantu bayafa.
Khange siye kuzo naziphi na iivenkile kuba kukho inkqubo entsha ngoku. Abanye abantu baye babeka iivenkile ezindlwini zabo. Beza nezinto ezivela eMzantsi Afrika bazithengise ekhaya. Ukuba uGunyaziwe weRhafu uyawabamba azakuba sengxakini enkulu. Kodwa bagcina amasango abo etshixiwe kwaye bangenisa kuphela abantu ababaziyo. Ewe, zonke ezi ntengiso zithengiswa ngeedola zaseMelika kuba iZim dollar azamkelwa mntu kwaye azisasebenzi. Akwanelanga kwaye ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kuthetha ukuba ilahlekelwa sisiqingatha sexabiso layo yonke imihla. Amafutha ayefumaneka ngezinto ezimbalwa. Ezinye izikhululo zepetroli ngoku zithengisa ngokuphandle ngeedola zaseMelika.
Ukuqhuba eZimbabwe kukho ukulima okuncinci okuqhubekayo. Urhulumente unikezela ngeetrektara ezintsha kwabo babathandayo kwaye, ndixelelwa ukuba, unikezela ngembewu, isichumiso kunye namafutha. Amagalelo amaninzi athengiswa ezidolophini ukuze “amafama” enze ingeniso ekhawulezileyo. Mhlawumbi balambe kakhulu ukuba balindele ukukhula kwezityalo, okanye batyebe ngokwaneleyo ukuba bangatyali. Siye sabona iitrektara ezimbalwa zilima kwaye … itrektara enye isebenza … njengeteksi. Kodwa, ngokusisiseko, uninzi lweefama ebezifudula zivelisa kangaka zikhule kakhulu kwaye zibuyela ematyholweni.
Kwakuvaliwe iindlela kuzo zonke iidolophu ezisendleleni. Kudla ngokubakho malunga namapolisa amane kwindawo nganye. Ndicinga ukuba sidlule kwi-12-15 yokuvalwa kwendlela ukusuka eHarare ukuya eVic Falls - isibini esiqelelene ngamakhulu ambalwa eemitha-ngamnye efuna ukuhlola amaxwebhu afanayo kwaye abuze imibuzo efanayo. Kwakanye kuphela apho sadibana khona nelinye ipolisa eliyingozi kakhulu kodwa, njengoko onke amaphepha emoto ayelungile, kwakungekho nto ingako lalinokuyenza.
Libali lam laseZim elo. Indenza buhlungu kakhulu. Kwaye konke oku kwenzeke egameni elithi "i-one-man-one-vote." Ndicinga ukuba xa sibuza abantu abaphulukene nemisebenzi; abalambileyo; abagulayo, into abayicingayo ngokukwazi ukuvota, abanakukhathalela i-hooot. Kwaye, nokuba abantu bacinga ntoni ngeRhodesia yakudala, ilizwe lasebenza; abantu babesondliwa, befundiswa kwaye bekhathalelwa. Sifanele ukuba sihlazekile ukuba le meko ivele eZimbabwe, ngakumbi ngoku kungekho nto sinokuyenza. Sinokubukela kuphela kwaye silile. Mhlawumbi iya kutshintsha ngenye imini.
