Ekuhle Mthwakaz’ omuhle! Silokhu sigcinakele emuseni weNkosi ngalesisikhathi sizingelwa yisolokazi lesi seKhorona. Amaviki aseyisithupha impilo ingesiyo eyezolo. Asikakhululeki ukuphila njengezolo. Isilo lesi sibi ngoba thina asisiboni ngamehlo njalo asikwazi ukuthi sicathame singaphe. Emazweni abezeSayensi lezemithi yokwelapha baphathekile balokhu bezama amacebo okudala imithi abantu abangacatshwa ngayo ukuze bangabulawa yilesisifo. Asithandazeleni ukuthi uNkulunkulu abaphe ukuhlakanipha baphange bawulungise umuthi ofaneleyo. Siyayibonga impilo. Kodwa banengi abalahlekelwe zimpilo zabo emhlabeni wonke.
Kithi lapha abanengi baphakathi kwelitshe lembokodo. Nxa kuqhutshekwa kungasetshenzwa abantu bazaphila njani? Siyakuswela ukudla izinsuku zonke. Siyayiswela imali ukuze sihlawulele izinto ezahlukeneyo empilweni ezisisizayo. Sithini pho? Bukhona isibili ubunzima ebantwini. OPhezukonke nguye owaziyo ukuthi sophepha njani? Okwethu yikulandela lokho esikuxwayiswayo ngabakhokheli, labe World Health Organisation (WHO). Sikhuthazane kulokho njalo sikhulekelane.
Izimbongi zonke zigobhoza ugqozi lokubalisa ngeKhorona, abanye bebubula, abanye bememeza bethetha, abanye belimukisa ikanti abanye batshotshobele nje ngenxa yesilo lesi. Nansi imbongi entsha, uCastro Matuvhunye laye emangala njalo elimukisa ngeKhorona.
SIZAPHEPHELA NGAPHI?
Isithanyelil’ abant’ iKhorona eMelika
Bephulel’ izigod’ endlebeni
Behlulek’ ukuzivikela?
Pho bazavikelwa ngubani?
Phel’ asikh’ esiphandel’ esinye
IKhorona iyabulala sihlobo!
Nxa ungukhandatshisa.
Uzaphephela ngaphi?
Nang’ uSaThembani
Uyatshinga nxa efundiswa
Nxa besithi kagez’ izandla
Ubhong’ esithi kangcolanga
Nxa besithi kaval’ umlomo
Uthi bath’ aphefumule njani
Nxa ingamngen’ esiqed’ abantu
Umunt’ ufa ngendlel’ ekhalisayo
Pho sizaphephela ngaphi?
Zilenkan’ izidakwa
Zibuthana zibe samihlambi yembuzi
Ungabaswel’ abagulayo lapho?
Sizaphephela ngaphi?
Yindaba lingasesab’ isitha?
Lifun’ ukubona ngomopho?
Lifun’ ukubulalis’ abalendleb’ ezizwayo?
Bafel’ amafufu njengegundwane?
Ake likhiph’ izigod’ endlebeni!
Gez’ izandla sekaThulani
Hlal’ endlini
Isitha asimemetheki nxa sizivalela
Ukulalela kuyasiza
Asizivikeleni zihlobo
Siyayiqed’ iKhorona singabambisana

Izinhlelo zeBlog
- Ngithanda ukubika njalo ukuba, uhlelo lwezinkondlo kulesisigcawu luyama ekupheleni kukaNkwenkwezi. Kuzaqalisa olutsha olokuloba izindatshana ezimfitshane ezesiNdebele. Lolani izikhali zenu zokuloba balobi abahle. Uzakubakhona njalo ozalicebisa okwamahlandla athile ngokuloba izindatshana ezinhle, ezihlabusayo. Thatha ithuba lawe ukutshengisa ubungcwethi bakho ekulobeni.
- Uhlelo lwezingxaki zabatsha lalo, luzakuma ekupheleni kuka Nkwenkwezi. Kuyaqala olutsha olokuhlomisa abatsha ngokumele bavuse inkophe bakulandele ukuze bathuthuke bangasaleli emuva. Esalela muva ibanjwa yizinja. Siyafisa bantu abatsha liphakame lingaphiki ngokukhala liquthile. Asikho esiphandela esinye, Ngakho yala uqaza kusigcawu okukhanzingwayo kulelibhodo.
Umncintiswano wokuloba amanoveli ngesiNdebele
Selidumela emansumpeni. Umphumela womncintiswano uzabikwa inyanga le ingakapheli. Yala uqaza kusonalesisigcawu ukuthi intsantshu zakithi lonyaka ekulobeni amanoveli ngobani.
SIXOXA NGENGXAKI ZABATSHA

UMartin Mlilo uthukuthele udl’ inja ngalokhu okubonwe ngabanengi kusenzakala kuyole iviki iqala, abomthetho behlukuluza odade abathile kwelinye lamalokitshi koBulawayo. Uyadubuka, uthi ‘Akuvumi Ngithule’. Wena-ke uthini?
IKHORONA
Wafika sazulu bengalindele abantu
Bekuzwa ngelikabathi bethi usesekhatshana
Useseyindumela usaziwa usengaphetsheya
Kolwandle
Wafika ungazange wazibika
Ungazange uqoqode
Wafika sasivunguzane esiphothulayo
Awuzange ukhuleke ufik’ emasangweni
Baphithizela abantu befaka imigoqo
Bavimbizel’ abantu ohulumende bebaphephisa kuwe
Angazi ngikutshayele ihlombe kumbe ngenyanye
Ubuye lobuhle lokubi
Ubuhle bakho yikuba uhlanganisile izimuli
Usivulile amehlo sabona ukuqakatheka
Kokulungisela ikusasa lethu
Usibonisile ukuba inhlakanipho yethu ayisilutho
Ngoba sehlukile ukuziphephisa kuwe
Ufundisile uthando lobuntu
Ngiphinde ngithi awumuhle
Bayaphela abantu ezindlini
Bebulawa yizihlobo akade bethi baphephe kizo
Abantwana bayahlukunyezwa mihla yonke
Kanti sithini ngawe
Wena udlala ucatshe
Kade bethi suhambile
Baphakamisa imigoqo bethi bakhulule abantu
Kanti ababuzanga elangeni
Watheleka watshiya bengelankani
Khorona ulochuku wena
Umubi awulaxolo wena
Udla insuku zonke kodwa awunoni
Awusuthi unjani?
Sesikhathele, ithemba alisekho
Asetshile amazwi ngokulila
Yikhorona lapha, yikhorona le
Jehova sivikele kulolulaka.

AKUVUMI NGITHULE
Akuvumi ngithul’ inhliziyo yam’ ivov’ igazi
Iklezulwe ngensimb’ ebukhali
Sidl’ imbuya ngoluthi,
Ngeqiniso siyigoqoza ngolim’ ixhwatha
Amapholis’ asidlisa luklubhu
Basigongoda njengogongodiw’ inja endala
Kanti sidleni soneni kabani?
Akuvumi ngithule.
Kulicala na ukuzalw’ esizweni sikaMthwakazi?
Kulicala na ukuzalwa kwandlunkulu?
Uthango ludl’ amakhoman’oqotho
Bengithi lingabavikeli bomphakathi
Kanti lingamaphimp’ akhif’ ubuthi
Ligcwel’ inzondo lobandlululo
Lisidlis’ imbuya ngoluthi
Kasisizo ziphepheli thina
Singabanini bomuzi
Kalihloniph’ amalungel’ oluntu
Akuvumi ngithule.
Lisibusa ngodlame lingondlangamandla
Lisiphethe ngochuku
Kanti silokhu singaphansi kwentonga yabamhlophe na?
Lal’ ijogwe likaSmith lalingenje
Inhliziyo zenu zilukhuni njengekaFaro
Likhwela lizehlel’ ebantwini
Lizenzel’ umathanda
Kukompunz’ idl’ emini
Akuvumi ngithule.
Ngithule yeb’ udadeweth’ ephohozwa ngibhekile
Alilazwelo lilolunya ngiyalesaba
Lichith’ igaz’ elingelacala
Lay’ imbongolo imbala ilelungelo
Ingaph’ ingalo yomthetho
Izinto zimi manzonzo nje?
Nant’ ilizwe libhujiswa ngamapholisa
Ovusa ikhanda bambiz’ umvukelambuso
Alibhek’ ilang’ alicine
Bamlanda phakathi kwamabili
Phinde siwulond’ umzila wakhe
Amathamb’ akhe akhukhuzwa zimpisi
Kodwa igazi lakhe liyakhal’ enkangala
Akuvumi ngithule.
Ipholisa lingaphezu komthetho na?
Umthetho kawudlal’ indima yawo
Akungabi lenkethabetshabi
Sonke silizwele umhelo lel’ ilizwe
Sonke siyalingana
Mthwakazi omuhle lina bokuthula loxolo
Inkantolo yiyo umlamulankunzi
Kungenani bethi indlela yenkantolo ayisalali nyoka
Inqe lenze loba yini
Ukuth’ izikliwi lezigebengu zamapholisandini
Zon’ ezingahloniph’ amalungelo oluntu
Kwamele zinathe inkezo yolaka lomthetho wesisekelo selizwe
Akuvumi ngithule.
Lay’ inkantolo kayingabheki ngalihlo linye
Kayingaqhol’ inj’ ebolileyo enuka phu!
Ngobande langenkiza
Khona kuliqaqa elinukayo
Ligolomb’ impi ngifunga umntanenkosi
Akuvumi ngithule.
Kuzosukuma intuli ezizosihitsha
Sisangan’ amakhanda, kuhlwe emini
Yekani ukuqal’ imamba isemlindini wayo
Mapholisa lani lonke bavikeli besizwe
Bambanisan’ isizwe sibenyanda nye
Lingasiyekeleli sidabuka njengengub’ endala
Akuvumi ngithule.

UMUSA WANSUKU ZONKE
Dumisa uJehova
Dumisa uJehova, Osiz’ abantu bakhe; Dumisa uJehova, Nibonge umsa wakhe.
Dumisa uJehova, Ubaba neNdodana; Dumisa uJehova, NoMoya OyiNgcwele.
Imizila le yomibili yiziqendu ezimbili zokucina zengoma ethi ‘Dumisa UJehova’, eku-Amagama Okuhlabelela. Ngitshone ngiyihlabela ilanga lonke kuthangi. Umoya wami ube ugcwele ukubonga lendumiso. Ngithe ngibala AmaHubo ngathanda kakhulu ukuqala kweHubo 147:1. Uthi umhlabeleli, “Dumisani uJehova. Kuhle kangakanani ukuhlabela indumiso kuNkulunkulu wethu, kumnandi njalo kufanele ukumbonga.” Iziqeqetshi zeBhayibhili zithi iHubo leli laba yingoma yendumiso kuthakazelelwa ukuphenduka kwabantu bakoJuda ekuthunjweni. Babekade besekuhluphekeni izinhliziyo zabo zidangele zikhumbula kibo. UNkulunkulu ngomusa langamandla amakhulu wabavikela.
Kungani umphefumulo wami ube uphuphuma ngendumiso lokubonga? Kulezi insuku sesiphila sengathi siyizibotshwa kodwa ezivalelwe emizini yazo? Aseyisithupha amaviki impilo ingafani leyezolo lapho esasigcwala yonke indawo sisenza esikufunayo singagqize qhakala. Lamhla asisabuboni lobuhle babantu. Imilomo lamakhala kumele kuvalwe ngamalembu awokuvikela ukuba singahotshi igcikwane lekhorona vayirasi emoyeni, njalo lathi singatheleli abangelalo. Umoya wami uyaphuphuma ngokubonga loba singakatshelwa ukubana alisekho leligcikwane. Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu nxa ngibalisa ukuba, kuwo wonke la amaviki, bengigcinakele, ngivikelekile. Angilawo lowo mkhuhlane. Labathandekayo bami abalawo. Siyathola isinkwa sansuku zonke. Loba abanye abathandekayo behlala kude siyenelisa ukukhulumisana ngezincingo insuku zonke. Siyezwa ukuba labo bagcinakele emuseni weNkosi.
Lamhla ngizwe ngendaba yomunye ukhulu emazweni, owayehlaselwe ngumkhuhlane. Waxhunywa isigxingi sokuphefumula umoya ohlanzekileyo okwelanga elilodwa. Wabangcono. Uthe ephuma esibhedlela kwathiwa uzamele ahlawulele isigxingo somoya, amakhulu amahlanu amadola eMelika. Bambona esebihla ukhulu. Bamduduza bethu uzahlawula kancane kancane. Kuthiwa ukhulu ngelivevezelayo wathi, “Hatshi, imali ayingihluphi. Ngizahlawula. Ngikhathazwa yikuthi nxa isigxingi somoya sibiza imali engako ilanga elilodwa zwi, pho uJehova ngizamhlawula ngani bengiphefumula umoya wakhe mahala iminyaka yonke le ngilokhu ngazalwayo?” Ingithintile kakhulu indaba le.
Yikho-ke umphefumulo wami uyaphuphuma ngengoma yokubonga lokudumisa ngokuphephisa, lokusiza, lokuvikela kukaJehova usuku ngosuku. Wena-ke? Umi ngaphi ngalesi sikhathi? Usizo lwakho luvela ngaphi? Mdumise umbonge uJehova, ukuze umoya wakho ugcwale intokozo lokuthula okuvela kuye. Kuhle, kumnandi njalo kufanele ukumdumisa lokumbonga.
