Uma sifunde into eyodwa ngo-2020, ukuthi ayikho into efana nokubikezela. Okwenzekayo okungalindelekile kwenzeka futhi sonke kwadingeka siqede izilinganiso zethu kanye nezinhlelo zethu bese sibuyela ebhodini lokudweba. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukholelwa ukuthi kuhle noma kubi, lo nyaka uphoqe ushintsho - ushintsho olungaba nomthelela ohlala njalo emaphethini ethu okusebenzisa.
Yebo, imijovo yokugoma isiqalile ukuvunyelwa futhi abahlaziyi sebeqalile ukubikezela 'ukubuyela esimweni esijwayelekile' ezindaweni ezahlukene ngonyaka ozayo. Okuhlangenwe nakho kweShayina ngokuqinisekile kusikisela ukuthi ukubuyela emuva kungenzeka. Kodwa Toto, angicabangi ukuthi iNtshonalanga isiseKansas. Noma okungenani, ngithemba ukuthi asisesenjalo. Akukubi eKansas kodwa leli yithuba lokwakha i-Oz yethu (ngaphandle kwezinkawu ezindizayo ezesabekayo, ngicela) futhi kufanele silisebenzise. Asinawo amandla okulawula imali engenayo elahliwe noma amazinga okuqashwa kodwa singaqinisekisa ukuthi sikhiqiza imikhiqizo ehlangabezana nezidingo zabathengi esikhathini sangemva kwe-Covid.
Futhi lezo zidingo zizoba yini? Nokho, sonke sithole ithuba lokuhlola kabusha. Ngokusho kwesihloko samuva esishicilelwe ku-The Guardian, e-UK, izikweletu zikhokhwe ngamazinga aqopha umlando kusukela ekuqaleni kobhubhane futhi isilinganiso sezindleko zemindeni sehle ngo-£6,600. Sisonga amaphesenti angu-33 emiholo yethu manje uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti angu-14 angaphambi kobhubhane. Kungenzeka ukuthi besingenazo izinketho eziningi ekuqaleni kodwa ngemva konyaka, siphule imikhuba futhi sakha emisha.
Futhi njengoba sesibe ngabathengi abacabanga kakhulu, kubaluleke kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili ukuthi imikhiqizo ibe nenhloso. Ngena enkathini entsha yokuthenga ngokucophelela. Akukhona ukuthi ngeke sisebenzise nhlobo imali - empeleni, labo abagcine imisebenzi yabo bangcono ngokwezimali kunangaphambi kobhubhane futhi njengoba amazinga enzalo ephansi kangaka, amaqanda abo enzalo engabonakali - ukuthi sizosebenzisa imali ngendlela ehlukile. Futhi phezulu ohlwini olubalulekile 'ubuhle obuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka' - noma imikhiqizo esekela ukulondolozwa kolwandle ngezithako ezisimeme, ezithathwe olwandle kanye nokunaka okufanele umjikelezo wokuphila kokupakisha komkhiqizo.
Okwesibili, sesichithe isikhathi esiningi ekhaya kunanini ngaphambili futhi ngokwemvelo, senze izinguquko endleleni esisebenzisa ngayo isikhala. Sinamathuba amaningi okuguqula imali ekudleni ngaphandle siye ekuthuthukisweni kwekhaya futhi ubuhle bungangena kulesi senzo ngengalo yalo yobuchwepheshe. Amafriji ezimonyo, izibuko ezihlakaniphile, izinhlelo zokusebenza, ama-tracker kanye namadivayisi obuhle konke kubhekene nokuchuma njengoba abathengi befuna ukuphinda benze isipiliyoni se-salon ekhaya futhi bafune iseluleko somuntu siqu kanye nokuhlaziywa okwengeziwe kanye nokulinganisa ukusebenza.
Ngokufanayo, amasiko ethu asisizile kulo nyaka futhi ukuzinakekela kungenzeka kuqhubeke nokuba yinto eza kuqala ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezizayo. Sifuna ukuzizwa kahle futhi sithole ukunethezeka kwansuku zonke ukuze isici sezinzwa sibe yinto ebaluleke kakhulu emikhiqizweni. Lokhu akusebenzi nje kuphela ekwelashweni okuthatha isikhathi esiningi, njengemaski yobuso, kodwa futhi nasezintweni eziyisisekelo. Uma kungekho okunye okuningi okufanele ukwenze ngaphandle kokuhlanza amazinyo akho nokugeza izandla zakho, ufuna lokho 'okuhlangenwe nakho' kuzizwe kukuhle.
Okokugcina, akungabazeki ukuthi impilo izoqhubeka nokuba yinto eza kuqala. Ubuhle obuhlanzekile kanye ne-CBD akuyi ndawo futhi singalindela izithako eziqinisa amasosha omzimba kanye namagama adumile anjengokuthi 'ukulwa nokuvuvukala' kuthrendi.
