Kukhona inganekwane ngo-raffia
Kuthiwa eNingizimu Afrika yasendulo, inkosana yesizwe yathandana kakhulu nendodakazi yomndeni ompofu. Uthando lwabo lwaphikiswa umndeni wasebukhosini, futhi inkosana yabaleka nentombazane. Bagijimela endaweni egcwele ama-raffia banquma ukwenza umshado lapho.
Inkosana, eyayingenalutho, yenzela umakoti wayo amasongo nezindandatho nge-raffia futhi yenza isifiso sokuthi izohlala ndawonye nesithandwa sayo kuze kube phakade futhi ibuyele edolobheni lakubo ngelinye ilanga.
Ngolunye usuku, indandatho ye-raffia yaphuka ngokuzumayo, kwavela onogada ababili besigodlo phambi kwabo. Kwavela ukuthi inkosi endala nendlovukazi yayibaxolele ngoba babeyikhumbula indodana yabo futhi bathumela abantu ukuba bababuyisele esigodlweni. Ngakho-ke abantu babiza ne-raffia ngokuthi ifisa utshani.
Isimo sezulu siya ngokuya sishisa. Ngaphezu kwelineni kanye nokotini omsulwa, okuyizinto ezibalulekile eziyisisekelo zasehlobo, i-raffia kungathiwa ingenye into ethandwayo ehlobo. Ukuthungwa kwemvelo kukwenza uzizwe sengathi usesimeni esikhethekile nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isetshenziselwa izikhwama zezandla noma izicathulo. Ubuso bubushelelezi futhi bucwebezela, akulula ukuqhekeka noma ukwesaba amanzi, futhi akulula ukubuna uma bugoqwa. Okubaluleke kakhulu, ngeke kulimaze imvelo yemvelo futhi inobungane kakhulu nemvelo. Imikhiqizo eminingi ikhipha izinto ze-raffia ehlobo. Kunjani “ukukhuliswa ngotshani” kusukela ekhanda kuya ozwaneni?
