INyanga yeSizwe yoThintelo lokuqhuba abaSebenzisayo nabanxilileyo
UDisemba yinyanga yeSizwe yoThintelo lokuNxila kunye neDrugged Driving, isihloko esinentsingiselo enkulu kum nakwabanye abantu abaninzi baseColoradan. Ngaphambi kokujoyina i-Colorado Access, ndafumana ithuba lokusebenza kunye nombutho oMama ochasene noDrunk Driving (MADD) kumsebenzi wabo wokukhonza amaxhoba kunye nabasindileyo benxila kunye neziyobisi kunye nokuthintela ukunxila kunye neziyobisi kwiindawo zethu. Kwindima yam, ndeva amabali entlungu nelahleko ebangelwa kukutya kwabantu abanxilileyo nabasebenzisa iziyobisi kwiintsapho ezininzi, izihlobo kunye noluntu oluchaphazelekileyo. Uninzi lwaba bantu baye badlulisela intlungu yabo kwisenzo ngomsebenzi wokuzithandela okanye ukukhuthaza. Ithemba labo kukuthintela omnye umzali, umntakwenu, umntwana, umhlobo, isikolo, okanye olunye uluntu ekulahlekelweni ngumntu abamthandayo ekuqhubeni kakubi njengabo. Namhlanje xa ndikwisiganeko apho kuselwa utywala okanye ndidlula kwiibhodi eziluhlaza ndikhumbula amaxhoba okuqhuba kakubi ezindleleni, amabali endiwavileyo kumaxhoba kunye nabasindileyo ahlala ebuyela kwiingcinga zam. Ngelishwa, amathuba kukuba abantu abafunda oku baye bachaphazeleka ngokobuqu kukunxila okanye iingozi zokuqhuba iziyobisi okanye bazi umntu onako. Iingozi zokuqhuba ezonakeleyo zonyukile kwilizwe liphela ukuya kumazinga angazange abonwe kwiminyaka engama-20, kubandakanya ukonyuka kwe-44% kwinani labantu ababhubhileyo elibandakanya umqhubi owonakeleyo ukusukela ngo-2019 kuphela. EColorado ingozi yokuqhuba ebulalayo yenzeke rhoqo kwiiyure ezingama-34. Kukho abantu abali-198 abalahlekileyo kulo nyaka, kwilizwe lethu kuphela, ngenxa yokuqhuba kakubi. Iingozi zokuqhuba eziphazamisekileyo zikwanokuthinteleka nge-100%, nto leyo eyenza ukuphulukana nobomi kube nzima ngakumbi ukukuqonda.
Lo Disemba kunye nexesha leholide lixesha apho umntu ngamnye kuthi, kunye nabahlobo bethu, iintsapho kunye noluntu anokusindisa ubomi. Singenza isicwangciso sokufika ekhaya ngokukhuselekileyo kwaye sibuze abanye ngesicwangciso sabo sokwenza njalo. Xa bezimase umsitho ngeli xesha leeholide, abaqhubi banokukhetha ukuhlala benxilile, bakhethe umqhubi onxilileyo, basebenzise iinkonzo ze-rideshare okanye ezothutho zikawonke-wonke, bacwangcise ukuhlala ubusuku, okanye bafowunele omnye umntu onxilileyo ukuba akhwele ekhaya. Kwakhona akunakwenzeka ukuba uqhubele ekhaya ukuba asiqhubeli ukuya kumsitho, ngoko ke izicwangciso ezinkulu zihlala ziqala ngaphambi kokuphuma endlwini. Zininzi iindlela ezizezinye zokuqhuba kakubi – ngaphezu kokuba ndingadwelisa apha. Ndiyakumema ukuba undimanye nokuzinikela kuthi, kwabo sibathandayo, kunye noluntu lwethu ekwenzeni iindlela zethu zikhuseleke, kwaye sigoduke ngokukhuselekileyo kuyo nayiphi na imibhiyozo yeeholide esijonge phambili kuyo kulo nyaka.
