Wazibandakanya kanjani nezishoshovu zokulwa nempi?
Kimina, asikho isigameko sokuqala noma ukungabi nabulungisa okuthile okuvuse ubushoshovu bami, ngoba ngibe nelungelo elikhulu lokukhuliswa izishoshovu ezimbili ezishisekayo.
Umama wayengumuntu wesifazane osebenza ngezandla futhi ngikhule ngimlandela emihlanganweni ngenxa yalokhu noma lokhuya, emibuthanweni yalokhu noma lokhuya.
Ngaba nengxenye embukisweni wami wokuqala ngineminyaka engu-7 wokulwa nokuvalwa kwesikole sami (ebekungesinye isikole esasingathandeki kuhulumeni). Senza opopayi ngenduku nekhanda elikhulu elipendiwe. Njengoba zincane, lezi “zimpawu/amakhanda” AMAKHULU zifanekisela “ukukhulisa” amazwi ethu. Umama wayehlakaniphile, wayenemibono eminingi enjalo. Ubushoshovu bami bumkweleta lukhulu.
Ubaba yena wayeyisihlakaniphi. Wafunda okuningi futhi wahlanganyela okuningi nami. Saba nezingxoxo zefilosofi ngayo yonke into. Ungidlise amathiyori namasu esintu.
Ngakho-ke akungifanele ukudunyiswa okukhulu ngokuba yisishoshovu engiyiso namuhla, ngoba kuku-DNA yami!
Wazibandakanya kanjani nawe World BEYOND War (WBW)?
Ngicabanga ukuthi kwaqala ngesikhathi sobhubhane lapho ngibhalisela i-newsletter. Kodwa ngase ngiyifunda nje futhi angizange ngizijube ukuze ngikhuthale ngempela.
Kwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngangizizwa ngibambekile mayelana nobushoshovu bami ne-Amnesty International futhi ngangifuna ukwenza okwengeziwe ngokubhala izincwadi; Bengifuna ukuba yingxenye yezenzo ezibaluleke kakhulu.
Futhi yingakho lapho ngifika eSenegal, ngabuza ukuthi ngabe sikhona yini isahluko se-WBW lapha, futhi sasingekho: kwakuyi-cue yami! Futhi nakhu manje, ukuxhumanisa isahluko.
Yiziphi izinhlobo zemisebenzi ye-WBW osebenza kuzo?
Kulezi zinsuku, ngigxila kakhulu (futhi cishe kuphela!) Umkhankaso we-Djibouti wokumela ukuvalwa kwezikhungo zamasosha angaphandle lapho: ukukhetha okuqondiwe komkhankaso, ukulungiselela izethulo mayelana nembangela, ukuqoqa amasiginesha, nokuningi.
Yiziphi izincomo zakho eziphezulu kumuntu ofuna ukuzibandakanya nezishoshovu zokulwa nempi kanye ne-WBW?
Yenza okuncane (uma ungeke ukwazi ukwenza okwengeziwe okwamanje), kodwa kwenze nsuku zonke.
Ukulwela ukuthula akuyona into yesikhathi esisodwa, kudinga ukungaguquguquki ukuze kube nomthelela esikhathini esizayo.
Yini ekugcina uphefumulelwe ukusekela ushintsho?
Wangari Maathai! Impela uyisibonelo sami.
Nali isiqephu sencwadi yakhe, Ungagobile, engibuyela kukho kaningi:
Indle yendabuko yase-Afrika inemilenze emithathu kanye nesitsha sokuhlala. Kimina, imilenze emithathu imelela izinsika ezintathu ezibalulekile zemiphakathi enobulungiswa nezinzile.
Umlenze wokuqala umele indawo yentando yeningi, lapho amalungelo ahlonishwa khona, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngamalungelo abantu, amalungelo abesifazane, amalungelo ezingane, noma amalungelo emvelo.
Owesibili umele ukuphathwa okusimeme nokulinganayo kwezinsiza.
Futhi eyesithathu imele amasiko okuthula atshalwa ngamabomu emiphakathini nasezizweni.
Isitsha, noma isihlalo, simele umphakathi namathemba awo entuthuko.
Ngaphandle uma yomithathu imilenze isendaweni, isekela isihlalo, awukho umphakathi ongachuma. Nezakhamuzi zakhona azikwazi ukuthuthukisa amakhono azo kanye nobuchule bazo.
Uma umlenze owodwa ungekho, isihlalo asizinzile;
lapho imilenze emibili ingekho, akunakwenzeka ukugcina noma yisiphi isimo siphila;
futhi lapho kungekho milenze etholakalayo, umbuso ufana nezwe elihlulekile.
Ayikho intuthuko engenzeka esimweni esinjalo. Kunalokho, kulandela ukungqubuzana.
