Nam Ndiyayisebenzisa!

● Khawube nomfanekiso ngqondweni woku. Abantu babesithi uSam udla ngendeb’ endala. Kaloku, kangangeminyaka wayengafuni kusebenzisa izixhobo zobugcisa ezazisetyenziswa ngezo mini ukunxibelelana nezalamane nabahlobo. Wonk’ umntu, kuquka abantwana bakaSam babezifuna ezi zixhobo zitsha. Eqhula, ngeny’ imini uSam wathi kwintombi yakhe eneminyaka eli-16 ubudala, “Ndikhumbula iintsuku, xa abantu babedla ngokuhlala kunye bancokole!”

Emva koko, uSam wacingisisa ngale nto. Wacinga ngabantu awayegqibele kudala ukubabona nokuncokola nabo. Wacinga ngamalungu entsapho ekwakucaca ukuba axakeke kangangokuba alikho ithuba lokuncokola nawo. Wagqiba kweli, ‘Ukuze ndikwazi ukunxibelelana nabo bonke, kuza kufuneka nam ndibe nefowuni.’ Ngelo xesha kwakuphakathi kwinkulungwane yama-20, ehlala kumaphandle aseUnited States. Ekugqibeleni, uSam odla ngendeb’ endala, wagqiba ekubeni abe nefowuni.

Ngoku makhe sibethe owenkawu size kulo wama-2012. Umzukulwana kaSam, uNathan ugqiba kuncokola ngefowuni noRoberto noAngela, abamshiya kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo baya kuhlala phesheya. UNathan umangaliswa yindlela eliye lakhawuleza ngayo elo xesha.

Kwiminyaka edluleyo uNathan ebeman’ ukufowunelwa ngamalungu entsapho nezihlobo ezafudukayo. Kodwa ngoku kubonakala ngathi bonk’ abantu—kuquka abantwana bakhe abakwishumi elivisayo—basebenzisa iiwebhsayithi zokunxibelelana.

Abantu bathi uNathan udla ngendeb’ endala kuba engafuni kusebenzisa ubugcisa bale mihla. Uthi: “Ndikhumbula iintsuku zakudala xa umntu wawumfowunela uze uve ilizwi lakhe.” Kodwa ngoku uyacingisisa ngale nto. Uthi, ‘Ukuze ndikwazi ukunxibelelana nabo bonke kuza kufuneka ndisebenzise ezi webhsayithi.’

Ngaba wakha wavakalelwa ngaloo ndlela? Ngokwemvelo, abantu bayakuthanda ukunxibelelana nabanye. (Genesis 2:18; IMizekeliso 17:17) Ekubeni bebaninzi kangaka abantu abasebenzisa iiwebhsayithi zokunxibelelana, yintoni omele uyazi ngazo?
