SasineUmatshini ojikelezayoKwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo oko kwasibangela ingxaki enkulu kunayo nayiphi na into kwixesha elidlulileyo. Hayi kuba nantoni na yaphukile—yayingayi kwenza ilaphu libukeke lilungile.

Umthengi uthumele isampuli yakhe yentambo kunye nephepha leenkcazo. Yonke into yayibonakala ilungile ephepheni. Kodwa xa sasiqhuba uvavanyo lokuqala, umphezulu welaphu wawunokungalingani okuncinci. Akwanelanga ukuba ungaphumeleli ekuhlolweni, kodwa kwanele ukuba ubunokuwubona xa ukhanyiswe kakuhle. Uninzi lwabantu mhlawumbi ngebaluthumele. Asizange.

Ngoko ke satshintsha intambo saza sayiqhuba kwakhona. Siselapho.

Emva koko safumana into eyahlukileyo kwisitokhwe sethu—inani elifanayo, umthengisi owahlukileyo. Kwaba ngcono kancinci, kodwa kungekhona kakhulu. Ngelo xesha, iingcali zethu ezimbini zazimi nje apho zijonge umatshini, zizama ukufumanisa ukuba yintoni esasiyiphosa.

Silungise ixesha kuloo Mshini Ojikelezayo kathathu. Ngalo lonke ixesha yayibonakala ilungile kangangeemitha ezimbalwa, yabuya loo ndlela ingabonakaliyo. Omnye wamadoda amakhulu ethu—ebesenza oku kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini—wafika ngoMgqibelo kuba yayimkhathaza. Wazisa eyakhe i-loupe waza wema nje apho ebukele indlela ezidibana ngayo iinaliti.

Ekugqibeleni, yayingenguye umatshini konke konke. Intambo yayinokuguquguquka okungaguqukiyo ukusuka kwikhowuni ukuya kwikhowuni. Kwasithatha malunga neveki ukufumanisa loo nto. Sabuyela kumthengi, samchazela, bathumela ibhetshi entsha, kwaye ekugqibeleni ilaphu laphuma ngendlela ekufanele liphume ngayo.

IUmatshini wokutshixaSithumele ngexesha elinye, ingxaki yaso yahlukile—ukufana kwe-stitch kwaqala ukujika kancinci emva kweeyure ezimbalwa. Sacela umntu wethu wokulinganisa ukuba abuye kabini ukuze ajonge ukuphakama kwe-sinker kwakhona. Wayesoloko esithi “kukwi-spec,” kodwa wawunokubona ukuba naye wayengaqinisekanga.

Ngoko ke sahlulahlula icandelo lekhamera, sacoca yonke into, saza sayilungisa kwakhona ngeseti entsha yeenaliti ukuze siqiniseke.

Ngexesha lokucima koomatshini bobabini, ndicinga ukuba abantu abahlanu abahlukeneyo babesele bebajongile. Mhlawumbi kancinci. Kodwa akukho mntu wayefuna ukuba ngumntu ovumela into ethile ihambe ngendlela engafanelekanga.

Ngamanye amaxesha ndizibuza ukuba sichitha ixesha elininzi na kolu hlobo lwento. Kwakhona, ngalo lonke ixesha xa sikhawulezisa into ethile kwixesha elidlulileyo, ibuya kamva.

Ngoku ke siphinda sijonge kuyo kwakhona. Tshintsha intambo kwakhona. Lungisa ixesha kwakhona. Fowunela umntu ukuba kufuneka. Ihamba kancinci, ngokuqinisekileyo. Kodwa ubuncinane xa kukho into ephuma apha, siyazi into esiyithumelayo.
