NgoMthombo woMoya wenene.
21 Matshi. Intwasahlobo iza nayo yonke imilingo yendalo evusa emva kobusika obude be-hibernation. Sasinethemba lokuba emva kweminyaka emibini phantsi kwedyokhwe enentiyo ye-Covid-19 intsholongwane sinokuphinda siqalise "ukuphefumla" ubomi ngokupheleleyo. Noko ke, umntu othile wabona kufanelekile ukuba aqalise imfazwe umganyana nje omnye kude nathi. I-21 kaMatshi ibhiyozelwa Usuku lweHlabathi lwaBantu abane-Down Syndrome, I-WDSD-uSuku lweHlabathi lwe-Syndrome, idinga elinqwenelwa ngamandla ngu I-Down Syndrome International kwaye ikwavunywe ngokusemthethweni sisigqibo se-UN. Yonke into yazalwa ngenjongo echanekileyo yokukwazi ukunika ulwazi oluninzi kunye nokuqonda, ukuzama ukunika ubomi kwinkcubeko entsha malunga nayo yonke imiba ebizwa ngokuba yi "diversity".
Ngomhla wama-21 kuMatshi. Yazi ukuze ungenzi iimpazamo
Ulwazi, intlonipho, ukubandakanywa ngamanyathelo amathathu ayimfuneko, aphambili kwaye ayimfuneko ukuphumeza inguqu ye-Copernican yangempela ngaphakathi kwethu. Kodwa kutheni ngoMatshi 21st? Ukhetho malunga nosuku lokuqala lwentwasahlobo lunokuqondwa phantse njengethemba, elo lokuvuka okunzulu nokunyaniseka kwezazela malunga nesi sihloko sinobuzaza. Ukhetho lwe inombolo 21 inxulumene, nangona kunjalo, kwinto yokuba i-Down syndrome ikwabizwa ngokuba yi-Down syndrome I-Trisomy 21, ekubeni ibonakala kubukho bechromosome eyongezelelweyo, ezintathu endaweni yezimbini, kwisibini sechromosome n.21 ngaphakathi kweeseli.
Ngenxa yesi sizathu, ukuthetha okanye, ngakumbi, ukubhala, ukuba abantu "bachatshazelwa" yi-Down syndrome yimpazamo enkulu, kuba ayisosifo leyo, ngolo hlobo, inokunyangwa ukuze emva koko iphilise isigulane, kodwa yemeko yemfuza eya kukhapha umntu ubomi bakhe bonke. Ulwazi ngokuchanekileyo, kuba ukungabikho koku kuphela iimpazamo ezinzulu kunye nokucalula okuyingozi kuvela kwaye kuphuhliswe.
Sibafuna kangakanani…
Mhlawumbi asizange sibe ngaphezu koku sidinga abantu abane-Down syndrome. Sibafuna kufutshane nathi kunanini na ngaphambili, kuba sidinga ubuntununtunu babo, uncumo lwabo, umnqweno wabo ongapheliyo wokuphila. Kubumnyama obukhoyo obusingqongileyo, obudalwe ngokukodwa yinto eqhelekileyo kunye nabameli bayo ababalaseleyo, ukuntywila kolu kwahlukana kumangalisayo kunokuba yinto eyakha kakhulu. Ukucacisa ingoma emnandi ngo UGiorgio Gaber apho umculi-mbhali omkhulu wengoma wazibuza: Liyintoni na ilungelo, leliphi ekhohlo, umntu unokubuza, yintoni isiqhelo? Isiqhelo kukwamkela nje iyantlukwano, kwiintlobo zayo ezahlukeneyo, kubomi bethu bemihla ngemihla.
Ngomhla wama-21 kuMatshi. Ngokuchasene naluphi na uhlobo lodonga
Namhlanje, kunanini na ngaphambili, apho sibuyela ekuthetheni ngeendonga, zokwenyani okanye ezibonakalayo, ezimiselwe ukugatya yonke into engaqhelekanga, eyahlukileyo kubomi bethu bemihla ngemihla kunye nezithethe eziyahlulayo, ukubandakanya ayibi “senzi” kodwa “esona senzi sibalulekileyo” kule mihla yethu. Kuphela kukuqonda ukuba iyantlukwano lithuba elimangalisayo lokukhula esinokuthi sibe nethemba leentsuku ezingcono kunezi kunye nezo zandulelayo. Kwaye ndiyathemba, ekugqibeleni, umthombo wokwenyani womoya wethu sonke. I-21st kaMatshi kufuneka ngaphezu kwayo yonke into.
