Yinyanga Yokuqwashisa Ngomdlavuza

Wamabele

Umyelezo ovela…Ku-Dkt. Victoria Mubaiwa, iMenenja Ehlelayo: Impilo Yomama Abakhulelwe, Izingane Nabesifazane: eMnyangweni Wezempilo KwaZulu NatalUkuzalwa kwengane kufanele kube yisipho sokuphila kumama obethwele kanzima

izinyanga ezingu-9. Kubantu besifazane abaningi lesi sikhathi okufanele ngabe

yisikhathi sokujabulela ukuphila ngokuvamile sigcina ngokuba usizi, kumama

nasenganeni ngoba abesifazane abaningi kakhulu esifundazweni sethu bayashona lapho bebeletha noma bashone

ngemva kokubeletha. Lokhu kungagwenywa, futhi kudingeka sisebenze ngokubambisana ukuze abantu bazi ukuthi

ukusheshe uye emtholampilo onakekela omama abakhulelwe kubalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi impilo kamama

nengane iyaqashelwa futhi kunqandwe izinkinga.

Ukuyobhalisa ngokushesha kungasindisa ukuphila, ikakhulukazi ngoba omama abakhulelwe abanegciwane

lesandulela-ngculazi bangaba semathubeni angcono okubeletha ingane engenalo igciwane. Omama abakhulelwe

kumelwe babikele imitholampilo yabo ngaphambi kwamasonto angu-13 okukhulelwa ukuze baqale ukuthola

ukwelashwa okunamandla okubizwa ngokuthi yi-Highly Active Ante-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) uma benegciwane

lesandulela-ngculazi. Kudingeka sisebenze ngokubambisana ukuze sikhuthaze futhi sisekele omama abakhulelwe

ukuba baye njalo emitholampilo, futhi uma senza kanjalo siyobe siphonsa esivivaneni futhi siyosiza ekusindiseni

izimpilo.

Njengoba sikhumbula ukuthi le nyanga yinyanga yokuqwashisa ngomdlavuza wamabele, abezeMpilo kwaZulu Natal

bangathanda ukuqwashisa abesifazane ukuze bazi ngezinye izinhlobo zomdlavuza ezihlasela abesifazane. Izinkinga

zempilo ezihlasela abesifazane singazinqoba kuphela uma sizazi. Umdlavuza wesibeletho usewusongo olukhulu

kubesifazane abaningi, futhi umnyango ungathanda ukucela bonke abesifazane, ikakhulu labo abaseminyakeni

yokuthola abantwana ukuba bayohlolwa izibeletho, benze lokho okubizwa phecelezi ngokuthi i-pap smear kuzo

zonke izikhungo zempilo esifundazweni. Lokhu ukuhlola okulula, okusheshayo okusiza ukuba kubonakale amaseli

angavamile angase ajike abe umdlavuza. Umuntu wesifazane unelungelo lokuthola ama-pap smear amathathu

mahhala ekuphileni kwakhe, eyodwa njalo ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi – noma eyodwa njalo ngonyaka uma

enegciwane lesandulela-ngculazi. Siyanicela ukuba nisebenzise leli thuba ukuze ninakekele izimpilo zenu,

kuwumsebenzi wenu lowo.

Abantu besifazane bangomama besizwe, futhi bavamise ukungayinaki impilo yabo ngenxa yabanye abantu. Kumelwe

sikushintshe lokho manje. Amadoda kudingeka akhuthaze futhi asekele abesifazane ekhaya ukuba bahambe njalo

bayohlolwa impilo. Impilo yomuntu wesifazane wumthwalo nomsebenzi womphakathi, womndeni nowakhe. Uma

bengekho omama abanempilo, imvamisa imiphakathi iyaphazamiseka, ngoba abaningi kudingeka bazinakekele, futhi

lokho kuvamise ukuholela ekutheni kube khona abasala dengwane. Sonke kumelwe siyikhathalele impilo yethu uma

sifuna ukwakha imiphakathi enempilo. Omama ikakhulu, njengoba kuyibo abangabanakekeli abakhulu emindenini,

kudingeka baqinisekise ukuthi bathola ulwazi maqondana nempilo enhle nendlela yokuyithola. Ukugwema izifo

kufanele kube wumgomo wethu ngoba uma senza kanjalo singaphumelela endabeni yokunqanda izifo.

Singakwazi ukwakha imiphakathi enempilo; SINGAKWAZI ukusindisa izimpilo, futhi sinqande ukushona

kwabesifazane abakhulelwe. Kodwa konke lokho singakufinyelela uma sisebenza ngokubambisana – njengomndeni,

njengomphakathi, njengabasebenzi bezempilo, njengabanakekeli, nanjengohulumeni. Indaba yokunakekelwa

kwempilo yomphakathi iqala ngomuntu ngamunye kithi, futhi isho ukunakekela wonke umuntu emphakathini wethu.

Kungaleyo ndlela kuphela esingaphonsa ngayo esivivaneni futhi sisindize izimpilo zabaningi.

Kokusakazeka Kwamagciwane Nezifo

Enye indlela elula kunazo zonke yokulawula ukusakazeka kwezifo iwukugeza izandla ngensipho namanzi – lokhu kunganciphisa ukusakazeka kwamagciwane ngamaphesenti angaba ngu-75!

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula okulandelayo ukuze kungabi nokudluliselana ngezifo, ikakhulu uma unakekela abantu abagulayo:

Ukupheka Nokulungisa Ukudla• Inyama ebomvu, inkukhu nenhlanzi kufanele kuphekwe njalo. Gwema imikhiqizo equkethe inyama engaphekiwe noma engaphekiwe ngokwanele noma imikhiqizo yobisi. Ungalokothi udle ukudla osekudlulelwe yisikhathi.• Ukudla kufanele kugcinwe futhi kuphekelwe endaweni ehlanzekile futhi akufanele nanini uxubanise ukudla okuluhlaza nokudla okuphekiwe – ngoba lokho kungasakaza amagciwane ngokukhulu ukushesha! Yihlanze kahle indawo oyisebenzisayo lapho ulungisa futhi upheka ukudla usebenzise isibulala-magciwane esifanele futhi uvale ukudla ukuze kungahlalwa yizimpukane.• Gezisisa izandla zakho ngamanzi ahlanzekile nangensipho ngaphambi nangemva kokuphatha ukudla, ikakhulu inyama eluhlaza ukuze uvimbele ukuxubana kwamagciwane. Zama ukungasebenzisi ugwembe lwepulanga ukuze uqobe ukudla futhi ungasebenzisi ummese owodwa obuqoba ngawo inyama eluhlaza bese uqoba inyama evuthiwe ungazange uwugeze ngamanzi ahlanzekile afudumele nensipho kuqala.• Gwema inhlanzi eluhlaza uma unakekela umuntu onengculazi ngoba ingenwa kalula amagciwane futhi ingase imgulise.

• Zigeze njalo izithelo nemifino ngaphambi kokuyidla ngoba ingase ibe nemithi ebulala izinambuzane.

• Gwema ukudla okugayisisiwe ngoba amavithamini ako amaningi abalulekile ayafa ngesikhathi kwenziwa.• Qiniseka ukuthi amagundwane awangeni lapho kubekwe khona ukudla.

Umuntu onengculazi kufanele agweme abanye abantu abanezifo ezithelelwanayo ezinjengomkhuhlane noma izifo zezingane ngoba imizimba yabo ibuthaka (ayikwazi ukulwa ngamandla nezifo) futhi lokho kubangelwa yigciwane lengculazi, okwenza kube lula ngabo ukungenwa ezinye izifo.

Abantu abanengculazi bangaguliswa kakhulu amagciwane nje avamile nezifo ezivamile, kodwa khumbulani bandla ukuthi bayakudinga ukwangiwa, ukubanjwa izandla, ukubhucungwa umzimba kanye nezinye izinhlobo eziningi zokuthintwa, futhi lokho kuphephile.

Bhandisha izilonda zakhoUma usikekile noma unezilonda, ikakhulu ezandleni zakho, kumelwe uqaphe kakhulu ukuba ungagulisi umuntu onengculazi noma uzigulise wena. Uma unezilonda zomkhuhlane, noma ngabe yikuphi ukugula kwesikhumba, ungamthinti noma uthinte izinto zakhe. Ungase udlulise isifo sakho kuye. Uma kudingeka unakekele umuntu, bhandisa izilonda zakho futhi ugeze izandla zakho ngaphambi kokumthinta. Uma uqubukile ezandleni noma unezilonda ezandleni, gqoka amagilavu alahlwayo. Ungawasebenzisi amagilavu alahlwayo ngaphezu kwesikhathi esisodwa; walahle bese usebenzisa amasha.

KHUMBULA UKUGEZA IZANDLA ZAKHO NGAMANZI ASHISAYO NENSIPHO IKAKHULU NGAPHAMBI NANGEMVA KOKUDLA, NGEMVA KOKUYA ENDLINI YANGASESE NANGEMVA KOKUTHINTA IMFUYO YASEKHAYA!

Kuleli sonto sigubha isonto lokulawulwa Kokusakazeka

Kwamagciwane Nezifo. Njengomphakathi akufanele

sigcine nje ngokufundisa imindeni nabangane bethu mayelana nokuthi

ibucayi indaba yokusakazeka kwamagciwane nezifo, kodwa

kufanele sifundise nomphakathi wonkana, ngoba ukusakazeka

kwezifo kusho ukunciphisa ukusakazeka kwamagciwane

yonke indawo nanoma kuphi lapho kunokuxhumana kwabantu.

Umdlavuza wamabele uyimbangela

ehamba phambili yomdlavuza kubantu besifazane, futhi uhlasela abesifazane abangaphezu kuka-

3800 unyaka ngamunye. Abesifazane abaningi basacabanga ukuthi uma

unomdlavuza wamabele kusho ukuthi uzokufa nakanjani, kodwa eqinisweni,

uma usheshe watholakala, owesifazane angathola ukwelashwa

okusebenzayo futhi imiphumela ibe mihle.

Ngangineminyaka engu-11 kuphela ngesikhathi kutholakala ukuth

i umama unomdlavuza wamabele. Kungakhathliseki

ukuthi uneminyaka emingaki, umdlavuza uyethusa, ingasaphathwa-ke uma uphethe umama wakho. Ubaba

wayengekho ngaleso sikhathi. Wahamba ngingakayihlanganisi ne

minyaka emibili, ngakho ngakhuliswa umama

kuphela. Sasibambisene kukho konke, futhi manje kwadingeka

sibambane. Nganginaye ngimsekela ngesikhathi

elashwa ngemisebe, phecelezi i-chemo. Ngangimbambela ibhak

ede ngesikhathi egula. Ngangimkama izinwele

futhi zaziqothuka. Ngangimanga ngimqabule. Kwakuyithi sobabil

i nje.

Kuningi enginganitsheli kona, ngoba abaningi bayabazi ubuhlungu

imindeni nabangane ababuzwayo. Kodwa kithina,

kwakunenhlansi yethemba elokozayo, futhi ngibonga uNkulunk

ulu ngokusibamba ngesandla nangokusiqinisa idolo

nokusinika amandla okubhekana naleso simo. Umama walulama. N

gambheka njengowesifazane onamandla kakhulu

emhlabeni. Njengoba ngangikhula, ngahlangana nabanye abantu be

sifazane abanamandla futhi ngibonga uNkulunkulu

ngabo bonke labo besifazane ngoba bangifaka ugqozi. Ngiyazi uku

thi ngizokwenza konke okudingeka ngikwenze

ukuze ngiqinisekise ukuthi izingane zami azihlupheki. Ngiyazi f

uthi ukuthi umdlavuza wamabele awusho ukuthi

kudingeka umuntu afe. – Lena yindaba yomuntu owadlula ebunzimeni.

U-Okthoba...yinyanga yokuqwashisa ngomdlavuza wamabele

‘Ukutholakala masinyane komdlavuza wamabele kuyisivikelo esingcono kakhulu.’

Obani abasemathubeni amaningi okuthola umdlavuza wamabele?

• Umuntu wesifazane onomama, udadewabo, noma indodakazi eyake yaba nomdlavuza usemathubeni aphindwe kabili kunowesifazane ovela emndenini ongakaze ube nomdlavuza wamabele.

• Owesifazane oseke waba nomdlavuza

kwelinye ibele usemathubeni amaningi okuba nawo nakwelinye.

• Omama asebekhulile noma labo abaqala ukuya esikhathini besebancane kakhulu, nalabo abayeka ukuya esikhathini sebebadala kakhulu.

• Abesifazane abathola ingane yokuqala ngemva kweminyaka yobudala engu-30.

• Abesifazane abangenazingane nabo basemathubeni amaningana.

Ziyini Izimpawu?

* Isigaxa ebeleni noma eceleni kwalo noma ngasekhwapheni – yize izigaxa

eziningi zingenabungozi, uma zizwakala zingajwayelekile kufanele zihlolwe!

* Ukushintsha kobukhulu nokuma kwebele

* Isikhumba sebele siba nezifaca

* Ingono ishone phakathi

* Kuphuma okuthile ebeleni okungajwayelekile

* Isikhumba sebele, ingono noma indawo emnyama ezungeze ingono iyaxebuka, ibomvu noma ivuvukele

* Isikhumba sebele sibukeka

njengesikhumba sewolintshi futhi sizwakala kanjalo uma usithinta

Zihlole amabele kanye ngenyanga ngesikhathi usesikhathini futhi uzihlole ngesikhathi esifanayo sosuku nyanga zonke.

Indlela yokuhlola amabele akho

• Lala phansi ubeke ingalo yesokudla ngaphansi kwekhanda. Ukulala phansi kwenza kube lula kakhudlwana ukuzwa izigaxa ebeleni.

• Sebenzisa iminwe yakho emithathu ephakathi yesandla sokunxele ukuze ufune izigaxa ebeleni elingakwesokudla, ulithinte lonke.

• Qala ngokuzwa izigaxana eziseduze kwesikhumba; bese uthi ukucindezela ukuze uthi ukujula; bese ucindezela kakhulu ukuze uzwe izigaxana eziseduze nesifuba. Ayikho inkinga uma uzwa okusanqenqema oluqinile engxenyeni engezansi kuwo womabili amabele, kodwa kufanele utshele udokotela uma kukhona okuzwa kungajwayelekile.

• Phinda wenze okufanayo nasebeleni elingakwesobunxele, ubeke ingalo yakho yesokunxele ngaphansi kwekhanda futhi usebenzise iminwe yakho yesandla sokudla ukuze uzihlole.

• Yima phambi kwesibuko izandla zakho zibambelele okhalweni, bheka amabele akho ukuthi akukho yini okushintshile ebukhulwini bawo, endleleni ame ngayo,

okubukeka ngendlela engafanele, noma izifaca, noma ububomvu noma ukuxebuka kwengono noma kwesikhumba sebele.

• Hlola ikhwapha ngalinye usahlezi phansi noma umile futhi uyiphakamise kancane ingalo ukuze ukwazi ukuzwa leyo ngxenye. Ukuphakamisa ingalo iqonde kuqinisa isikhumba esikule ngxenye bese kwenza kube nzima ukuzihlola.

Izindlela Zokwelapha

• Uma kunezimila okubonakala sengathi azikasabalali, leso simila singakhishwa kodwa kushiywe ingxenye enkulu yebele. Le ndlela ibizwa ngokuyi yi-lumpectomy.

• Ngezinye izikhathi kungase kudingeke ukuba kususwe lonke ibele (le ndlela ibizwa ngokuthi yi-Mastectomy)

• Ngokuvamile indlela yokwelapha ihlanganisa ukususwa kwebele noma kwesigaxa, bese kulandela ukwelashwa nge-chemotherapy nangemisebe.

Iziguli ezinomdlavuza kudingeka zenze izinguquko eziningana ekuphileni kwazo.

• Ukwelashelwa umdlavuza kungase kukuphathe kabi emzimbeni.

• Imiphumela engemihle ye-chemotherapy ingase yenze owesifazane osemusha angakwazi ukuthola ingane.

• Abaningi baqothukelwa yizinwele isikhashana.

• Uma umdlavuza ususakazekile, kuyabaluleka ukwazi ukuthi kunamathuba okufa nokuba uhlele futhi ubhekane naleso simo.

• Amabele ayingxenye yomzimba abesifazane abaningi abayibheka njengebalulekile futhi labo bantu besifazane bawabona ehambisana nezinto eziningi eziyigugu kubo, kuhlanganise nothando nezingane.

• Uma umndeni unothando nokuqonda lokho kungenza isimo esinzima kakhulu sibekezeleleke.

• Okubaluleke kakhulu ukufunda indlela yokunciphisa ukucindezeleka ekuphileni kwakho nokuthola indlela yokubhekana nakho kanye nokushintsha indlela odla ngayo. Likhona ithemba futhi bakhona abantu abangakusekela. Qina idolo – khumbula ukuthi sekunezindlela eziphucuzekile zokwelapha umdlavuza – akusho ukuthi uzokufa nakanjani.

Khumbula ukuthi iziguli ezingaba amaphesenti angu-90 ziphila iminyaka eminingi ngemva kokuba zithole ukuthi zinomdlavuza uma ubonakale ngokushesha.

Okthoba 17: Usuku Lomhlaba Wonke Lokuqwashisa NgeSimo Sotshwala Osaneni

UMnyango wezempilo e-KZN ukhuthaza abesifazane abazama ukukhululelwa ukuba

bayeke ukuphuza utshwala ngokuphelele. Khumbula ukuthi noma yini umama ayiphuzayo

ngesikhathi ekhulelwe, nosana luyayiphuza nalo – ngakho cabanga ngaphambi kokuba uphuze!

Ubisi lwethu lune-Calcium, uVithamini B12 no-D. Luzokusiza ube ungqa phambili.I-Phosphorus ephakathi yenza lube nempilo ngempela.Lunane-Protein eyenza lungabi mnandi nje kuphela.Masingakhohlwa nangoVithamini A.Sinilethela okungcono kakhulu kwa-Clover milky way.

Impilo yomntanakho isengozini uma uphuza utshwala ukhulelwe – iqiniso elimsulwa lelo.

ISimo Sotshwalo Osaneni (Foetal Alcohol Syndrome [FAS]) ngenye yezinkinga zempilo ingane eba nazo ngenxa yokuthi umama ubephuza utshwala ngesikhathi ekhulelwe. Utshwala buthwalwa busuka egazini likamama buye kumtwana – buthikameza ukukhula komntwana. INingizimu Afrika ingelinye lamazwe anezehlakalo eziphezulu ze-FAS

emhlabeni! Kuyethusa lokhu, ikakhulukazi ngoba kuyinto

esingayishintsha, ngoba phela kusezandleni

zethu.

Ukuphuza utshwala ngesikhathi ukhulelwe kuyingozi kakhulu osaneni olungakazalwa ngoba kungabangela izingozi ezinkulu kuhlanganise nokuzalwa komntwana ngaphambi kwesikhathi, ukuzalwa kosana selushonile kanye nezinkinga ekuzalweni (okusho ukuthi umntanakho angazalwa enokukhubazeka okuthile). Ukuphuza utshwala ngesikhathi ukhulelwe kungaphumela ekutheni ingane yakho ibe nezinkinga ezilandelayo:

• I-IQ ephansi

• Ingakhuli kahle

• Ibe nezinkinga zokufunda

• Izinkinga zokuziphatha

• Izinkinga zempilo yengqondo njengokucindezeleka

• I-ADHD

• Ibe sengcupheni enkulu yokudla izidakamizwa

HLENGA IMPILO YOMNTANAKHO, YEKA UKUPHUZA KUNGAKEPHUZI!

IZINDLELA ZOKUYEKA UTSHWALA NGESIKHATHI UKHULELWE

Abantu abaningi b a p h e n d u k e l a

ekusebenziseni izidakamizwa uma benenkinga, kodwa

kwabesifazane abakhulelwe lesi simo sibi kakhulu ngoba sithinta nomntwana ongakazalwa. Nakuba kungase kubonakale kunzima, kungenzeka uyeke; kuyinto eyenzekayo. Zama okulandelayo:

• Vuma ukuthi unenkinga futhi awukwazi ukuyeka ukuphuza utshwala – ukuvuma ukuthi unenkinga isinyathelo sokuqala ekwenzeni okuthile ngayo.

• Khuluma nomsebenzi wezempilo noma umeluleki wangakini ukuze akusize uyeke utshwala nangezinye izindlela zokuxazulula izinkinga zakho.

• Zama ukuxazulula inkinga eyodwa ngesikhathi – ngaleyo ndlela ngeke zibonakele zinkulu kakhulu ukuthi ungabhekana nazo.

• Hlangana nabanye abesifazane abakhulelwe emphakathini wangakini ukuze nixoxe ngezindlela zokubhekana nemizwa yakho neseluleko mayelana nokuxazulula izinkinga.

• Thatha isinyathelo sokuqala futhi wenze ushintsho oluncane – kuzokwenza uzizwe kangcono futhi kukukhuthaze ukuba wenze ushintsho olwengeziwe ukuze kube ngcono.

INDLELA YOKUSIZA NJENGOMPHAKATHI

Uma wazi othile ophuza utshwala ngesikhathi ekhulelwe, zama ukukhuluma naye kunokuba umahlulele – angase azizwe sengathi kungaphezu kwamandla akhe futhi akakwazi ukubhekana nesimo. Hlela indlela yokuxhumana emphakathini ukuze abesifazane basizane – kulula ukuxazulula izinkinga uma unabantu abakusekelayo. Fundisanani!

Ihlasela kakhulu abesilisa nabesifazane

abaneminyaka yobudala engaphezu kwengu-65. Ngisho noma ungakeqi ngale kweminyaka yobudala engu-65, kufanele wazi ngalesi sifo,

ukuze usize abanaso emphakathini wakini ukuba bakwazi ukubhekana naso – kungaba umakhelwane, umngane, ugogo noma othile

emndenini. I-Arthritis, ewukuvuvukala noma ‘ukulimala’ kwamathambo, yisifo

esihamba phambili ezweni esenza abantu babe nokukhubazeka, futhi

sihlasela umuntu oyedwa kwabayisikhombisa.

ISIXWAYISO! Ukuntuleka kwe-iodine, ikakhulu kubantu besifazane abakhulelwe nabancelisayo, kungabangela ukulimala kobuchopho osaneni olusakhula!

Imvamisa omama baba matasa kakhulu benakekela izingane zabo baze bakhohlwe ukuzinakekela bona. Lolu suku lukhumbuza bonke abesifazane, ikakhulu abakhulelwe, ukuba badle ukudla okunempilo futhi baqinisekise ukuthi bathola i-iodine eyanele emizimbeni yabo.

Kungani kubalulekile?

I-iodine yikhemikhali esetshenziswa yindlala yegilo (thyroid gland) esiza ekulawuleni ukushaya kwenhliziyo, i-cholesterol, ubukhulu bomzimba futhi ilinganise kahle amahomoni ethu. Indlala yegilo isezansi entanyeni ngaphambili futhi isiza nasekugayeni ukudla. Ngokwemvelo, abantu besifazane bayayintula i-iodine ngoba indlala yabo yegilo inkulu ngokuphindwe kabili kweyabesilisa. Uma ukhathazeke kakhulu emoyeni, uyidinga nakakhulu.

Ithonya layo enganeni

Uma owesifazane okhulelwe entula

i-iodine lokho kungabangela lokhu okulandelayo:

Ingane ingase ishone noma ayibelethe isishonile

Angase atete kungakabi yisikhathi

Ingane ingase izalwe inokukhubazeka okuthile, kuhlanganise nokulimala kobuchopho, izinkinga zokukhula, ukuzwa nokukhuluma.

Ngisho nokuntuleka okuncane kwe-iodine ngesikhathi umuntu wesifazane ekhulelwe, kungase kwenze ingane ingahlakaniphi kangako.

Indlela ongaqinisekisa ngayo ukuthi uthola i-iodine eyanele

Imvamisa umuntu udinga ithispuni ye-iodine ukuphila kwakhe konke, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi i-iodine ayigcineki emizimbeni yethu isikhathi eside, kudingeka sithole izilinganiso zayo ezincane izikhathi eziningi. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokwandisa isilinganiso se-iodine wukudla inhlanzi kakhulu. Okunye ukudla okune-iodine amaqanda, imikhiqizo yobisi, njengobisi, ushizi, neyogathi, u-anyanisi kanye neredishi.

Yikuphi ukudla okufanele umuntu wesifazane okhulelwe akugweme?

Omunye walabo bantu abakhethekile u-Joan Ross, iMenenja Yokusebenza-jikelele engxenyeni yokuLungiswa Kwezinkinga Zengqondo e-Fort Napier Psychiatry Hospital eMgungundlovu.

Lo mama oneminyaka engu-51 ogcwele umndlandla ubiza iziguli zakhe ngamagama amnandi anjengokuthi ‘mntakwethu’ noma azibize ngamagama azo – okuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu ekwakheni ukwethembana nokuzwana endaweni okungelula ukusebenza kuyo asesebenze kuyo iminyaka engu-24 edlule. Phela odokotela nabahlengikazi abaningi bangakhetha ukungasebenzi ngabantu abagula ngengqondo, kanti nomphakathi awukayeki ukubabandlulula laba bantu.

“Konke engikwenzayo, ngikwenza ngenhliziyo yami yonke. Ngifuna ukukwenzisisa kahle, kungenjalo ngincamela ukungakwenzi. Ngisho netiye

lami kufanele lenziwe kahle. Ngiyathanda ukuba yingxenye yenqubo nokusiza iziguli zami. Ngizibambela mathupha futhi ngithola injabulo nokwaneliseka uma isiguli silulama futhi sibuyele ekhaya nalapho sithola imibiko emihle ngaso,” esho lawo mazwi ngobuso obubonisa ngokucacile ukuthi unethemba ngekusasa leziguli zakhe.

U-Joan umelela uhlobo olungavamile lwabanakekeli beziguli abanikela ngesikhathi sabo kulabo abasesimweni esingemnandi emiphakathini yethu. Indlela enomusa anakekela ngayo izisize kakhulu iziguli zakhe ezingu-48, eziningi zazo

ezenze ubugebengu obunhlobonhlobo, nezingathandwa umphakathi. Kodwa u-Joan wazi kahle ukuthi nazo zidinga usizo olufanayo lwezempilo futhi akufanele zincishwe uzwela nokunakekela okuhle okuhambisana nalo.

Akazitholanga nje esenza lo msebenzi. U-Joan wathola iziqu zobuhlengikazi esibhedlela i-Ferere eMonti futhi wafika e-Fort Napier ngo-1987 ezoqeqeshelwa

impilo yengqondo. Uthi lokho kuqeqeshwa kwakuwubizo lwakhe futhi akazange esabheka emuva.

“Kudingeka sikhuthaze abantu futhi sibenze baqonde ukuthi wonke umuntu unelungelo lokuphila. Lezi ziguli zilapha ngenxa yezimo, azizikhethelanga. Umama wasifundisa ukuthanda abantu nokubamukela futhi lokho kuye kwabangela ugqozi olukhulu kimi nakudadewethu njengoba singabahlengikazi. Awunakuba umhlengikazi uma ungenandaba nabantu noma uma ungabathandi – leyo ingxenye ebaluleke kunazo zonke yalo msebenzi,” kusho lo mama onezingane ezimbili.

“Ngingumuntu ofuna izinto zenziwe futhi ngilindela okukhulu kimina. Iziguli zami zingitshela ukuthi isibhedlela akulona ikhaya lami ngoba ngihlale ngifuna izinto

zenziwe ngendlela efanele ngaso sonke isikhathi,” uyanezela esho ehleka.

Njengoba u-Joan esesebenze iminyaka engamashumi amabili, ubona sengathi kuseneminye iminyaka engu-15 angayinikeza iziguli zakhe kanye nesibhedlela. Uthi: “Angikakulungeli ukuyeka iziguli zami, kuningi okusafanele ngizinike kona.”
