Ngenyanga ka uMbasa , sigubha iNyanga Yomhlaba ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Amandla Ethu, Iplanethi Yethu” esiqokomisa indima yesenzo somphakathi ekuqhubekiseleni phambili inqubekela phambili yemvelo. Isihloko salo nyaka sisikhumbuza ukuthi ukuphatha kusekelwa abantu hhayi izinhlangano noma ezombusazwe, omunye wabantu abanjalo yintatheli ye-Multimedia ye-University of Zululand (UNIZULU) uJames Thwala.
Njengoba inyanga isondela ekupheleni, sigqamisa uThwala ovela eMnyangweni Wezokuxhumana Nokumaketha. Ekhulela KwaHlabisa uThwala wabona unina eqoqa amathini ngokungakhathali futhi waphefumulelwa ukuzinikela kwakhe. Lapho eqala ukusebenza e-UNIZULU, waqaphela ukuthi naye angaba nomthelela ngokwenza ingxenye yakhe yokusindisa iplanethi.
Ngosuku olujwayelekile, uThwala waphawula ukuthi uphuze iziphuzo ezimbili ezisemathinini, waqala ukuzibuza ngenani lamathini alahlwa ngabanye abasebenzi. Njengentatheli ye-Multimedia uya emicimbini eminingi futhi ubona amathini angenakubalwa elahlwa ngemuva kwalokho. Wanquma ukuqoqa amathini akhe, awozakwabo kanye nezinsalela ezivela kuyo yonke imicimbi ayihlanganisayo. Lezi zenzo ezincane, waqaphela ukuthi zinganezela ekushintsheni kwemvelo okunenjongo - ukunciphisa ukungcola nokudala indawo yokusebenza ehlanzekile.
“Kuningi esingakwenza e-UNIZULU ukuze sibe nendawo ehlanzekile nephephile,” kuchaza uThwala. “Akukhona nje ngamathini – amabhodlela, ipulasitiki kanye nephepha konke kungaphinde kusetshenziswe esikhundleni sokulahlwa bese kungcolisa iplanethi. Kumelwe sicabange ngesizukulwane esilandelayo futhi silondoloze iplanethi kulabo abazolandela.”
Umbono wakhe ngekusasa ukubona amabhokisi okusebenzisa kabusha azo zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha ebekwa kuwo wonke amakhampasi e-UNIZULU kanye nemikhankaso yokuqwashisa ngezingozi zokungcola kanye namandla emizamo emincane, ephindaphindwayo yokudala ushintsho olukhulu.
Yiqiniso, uhambo lwakhe belulokhu lunezinselele. “Abanye abantu bangibheka sengathi ngiyahlanya futhi babuze ukuthi kungani ngiqoqa amathini ngenkathi ngisebenza,” uyavuma. “Kodwa ukuvuselela kabusha akuphathelene nemali. Kungumsebenzi othobisayo, futhi uma wazi izizathu zakho zokukwenza, akunandaba ukuthi abanye bacabangani noma bathini.”
Umyalezo wakhe kubasebenzi ulula kodwa unamandla: “Masigcine amakhampasi ethu ehlanzekile, wonke umuntu unendima okufanele ayidlale futhi okuncane kusiza kakhulu.”
