Umlando Wosuku Lwamazwe Ngamazwe Lwabesifazane Bemibala

By Tiffiany L

Usuku Lomhlaba Wonke Lwabesifazane Bemibala lubungaza abesifazane abahlukahlukene bemibala, iminikelo yabo, namasiko abo. Ugujwa ezifundazweni ezingama-25 kulo lonke elaseMelika nakwamanye amazwe amahlanu. Lolu suku luphinde lugubhe abalandeli babesifazane bemibala; amadoda, abanye abantu besifazane, namaqembu anentshisekelo alwa nokucwasa, ukucwasa ngobulili, kanye nokucwasa ngokwebala empilweni yansuku zonke.

Unyaka ngamunye ngoMashi sithatha ithuba lokubona ngamabomu futhi sijabulele iminikelo eminingi eyenziwa esintwini evela kwabesifazane abamangalisayo! Ngomhla lu-1 kuNdasa wonyaka ngamunye sibungaza abesifazane ngokugcizelela amagalelo aphuma kwabesifazane bemibala abavela emhlabeni wonke! Yilaba besifazane abamangalisayo esizwa ngabo abasikhuthaza ukuthi siphumelele hhayi nje ukuba khona. Kunemibono emithathu, abesifazane abathathu izindaba zabo ezibe nomthelela omkhulu kimi: ISacagawea: Umboni, UHarriet Tubman: I-Goer, kanye Indlovukazi uNandi: Umama.

ISacagawea kwakungowesifazane waseLemhi Shoshone owasiza i-Lewis kanye neClark Expedition ukufeza inhloso ngayinye yemishini yayo eqashiwe, ukuhlola Ukuthengwa kwe-Louisiana. Amakhono akhe njengomhumushi ayebaluleke kakhulu, kanye nolwazi lwakhe olujulile ngendawo ethile enzima. Mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu kwakuwukuba khona kwakhe okuzolile eqenjini lohambo kanye naboMdabu baseMelika abahlangane nabo.

Umele umbono kanye nekhono lokuqondisa nokuthonya. Ngolwazi lwakhe ngendawo kanye nokuxhumana naboMdabu baseMelika, wakwazi ukuqondisa ngokuphephile uhambo nokufeza izinhloso ezimisiwe. NjengoMboni, usinika amandla okusebenzisa izindawo zethu ezaziwayo njengesisetshenziswa sokusiyisa lapho siya khona, ukubona ukujwayela kwayo futhi sibambe ngekhanda ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo ezilandelayo okufanele sizithathe ukugwema izingibe neziphetho ezifile. Njengoba sonke sihamba ezimpilweni zethu, kuzofika isikhathi lapho kufanele sithembele enkumbulweni futhi kuyodingeka sikhumbule izingxenye ezifihlekile zempumelelo yethu edlule. Ezikhathini zohambo olusha, sizodinga ukubona ngeso lengqondo/sibone ukuthi ukunqoba noma ukuqeda kubukeka kanjani. Kufanele sizibone sisesimweni sethu sesikhathi esizayo, sidlule endaweni embi, sidlule izingxabano futhi siqhubekele ekunqobeni. I-Sacagawea The Seer isebenzisa umbono!

UHarriet Tubman kwakungowesifazane ophunyukile oyisigqila owaba “ngumqhubi” ku-Underground Railroad. Uholele abantu abagqilaziwe enkululekweni ngaphambi kweMpi Yombango, ngenkathi ethwele inzuzo ekhanda lakhe. Kodwa futhi wayengumhlengikazi, inhloli yeNyunyana futhi engumsekeli we-suffrage yabesifazane. Ungesinye sezithonjana ezaziwa kakhulu emlandweni waseMelika. Ifa lakhe likhuthaze abantu abaningi bazo zonke izinhlanga nezizinda.

Ukhokho Harriet wavula indlela yokuphuma ngaphandle. Ukudala ujantshi wesitimela ongahlukaniseki oya enkululekweni. UGoer ungubani kimi. Owesifazane onesibindi nekhono elikhulu. Ukwakha ipulani efihlekile, kodwa echazwe kahle futhi eyimpumelelo yenkululeko. I-Goer isinika isibindi, ukuqina, namandla okuvumelana. Ikhono lakhe lokudala kabusha impumelelo ohambweni ngalunye ku-Underground Railroad yilo okufanele silibonise njengoba sibhekana nohambo lwempilo. Igalelo likaHarriet esintwini laliyisibonelo sokubulawa ngempumelelo nesibindi

Enye yezindlovukazi ezinkulu zase-Afrika, Indlovukazi uNandi, unomlando ongajwayelekile ohambisana nendodana yakhe uShaka Zulu. Ukube awuzange ukhale emngcwabeni wakhe, cishe wawuyobulawa. Leli qhawekazi lobukhosi bakwaZulu labumba ubukhosi bakwaZulu ngesikhathi linqoba ukulahlwa kanye nobutha babantu. Wayengumama omangalisayo owanikela impilo yakhe kubantwana bakhe futhi wavulela indodana yakhe, iNkosi uShaka Zulu, indlela yokuhlanganisa ubukhosi bakwaZulu, babuguqule babenze impucuko esabekayo eNingizimu Afrika. Ngemuva kwawo wonke amadoda amakhulu, kukhona owesifazane omkhulu nakakhulu.

Umama kaZulu! Ngikujabulela kanjani ukuqina nokuzimisela kwakhe. Indlovukazi uNandi uyisibonelo sothando lukamama kanye nesibonelo esiphelele sokuqina. Umele owesifazane ngamunye onamandla ngaphambi kwami, isizukulwane ngasinye sabesifazane abenqaba ukuvumela umphakathi ubachaze noma ubavimbele. Uthando oluphakeme lwendlovukazi uNandi yindlela engizala ngayo indodana yami, umama wami owangizalayo, ugogo wamzala, nokhokho wami wamzala. Kuyisiko engiziqhenya ngalo ngefa ngilidlulisele ezizukulwaneni ezizayo. Kungumnikelo nokuzinikela komama okuvumela inzalo yethu ukuba ikholelwe ekufezeni okungenakwenzeka.

Umboni, uMhambi, kanye nomama bangithinte unomphela. Bamele ukunotha kwe-tapestry eyenza i-DNA yami. Bafake kimi ikhono lokubona okungaphezu kwalokho engiye ngahamba ngakho, ukuya phambili kunanoma ubani oke wahamba ngaphambi kwami, kanye nokuzalwa okungenzeka kokungenakwenzeka. Kuyisibindi sabesifazane ukukhuluma uma kuthiwa babonwe bangezwa. Ulaka lwabantu besifazane yibo obusenza sibe bakhulu yize kuthiwa asihlale emthunzini. Igalelo elihlangene lawo wonke umuntu wesifazane elivumela isintu ukuthi sinyukele phezulu. Bungaza abantu besifazane empilweni yakho, kanye nemithelela yomlando wabo!
