| Indoda enomlenze wokufakelwa ihamba amakhilomitha ayi -5000 ukukhombisa ukuthi ukukhubazeka akusona isithiyo empumelelweni SHEILA MHLONGO | KZN NAMUHLA “Ukukhubazeka akusho ukuthi umuntu akakwazi ukufeza amaphupho akhe.” Lona ngumlayezo onamandla odluliswa nguMqondisi Ntshangase (37), odume ngelika King Nipho, ozimisele ukuhamba amakhilomitha angu-5 000, enqamula zonke izifundazwe eziyisishiyagalolunye zaseNingizimu Afrika, esebenzisa umlenze wokufakelwa. Lolu hambo, olubizwa nge-#OneLegWalk, alugcini ngokuba yinselelo yokuhamba ibanga elide, kodwa luyisifundo sempilo esikhombisa ukuthi ukuzimisela, isibindi nokuzethemba kungasiza umuntu anqobe izinselelo ezibonakala zingenakunqotshwa. Walahlekelwa umlenze kodwa akazange alahlekelwe yithemba UNtshangase, odabuka eKrugersdorp, watholakala enomdlavuza wamathambo owaziwa nge-osteosarcoma ngo-2012. Ngo-2014, eneminyaka engu-25, odokotela baphoqeleka ukuba bamnqume umlenze ngenxa yalesi sifo. Lesi kwakuyisikhathi esinzima kakhulu empilweni yakhe, njengoba kwadingeka afunde kabusha ukuphila nokwenza izinto eziningi ngendlela ehlukile. Nokho, esikhundleni sokuvumela ukukhubazeka kumvimbele ekufezeni amaphupho akhe, wanquma ukuguqula ubuhlungu bakhe bube yisikhuthazo kwabanye abantu. Uthi ufuna ukukhombisa umhlaba ukuthi umuntu ophila nokukhubazeka naye angakwazi ukwenza izinto ezinkulu uma enokuzimisela nokwesekwa. “Ngifuna ukukhombisa ukuthi ukukhubazeka akusho ukungakwazi. Ayikho imingcele kulokho umuntu angakufeza uma ezimisele,” kusho uKing Nipho. Uhambo olwaqala ePitoli selufinyelele KwaZulu-Natal Ngo-25 Meyi 2026, uKing Nipho wasuka ekhaya lakhe ePitoli waqala uhambo lwakhe oluyingqophamlando lokunqamula iNingizimu Afrika. Inhloso yakhe ukuhamba amakhilomitha angu-5 000, edlula kuzo zonke izifundazwe eziyisishiyagalolunye, ukuze aqwashise umphakathi ngezimpilo zabantu abaphila nokukhubazeka. Uhambo lwakhe selumthathe ePitoli lwamyisa eKapa, ngaphambi kokuba aqhubekele kwezinye izingxenye zezwe. NgoLwesihlanu, 21 Agasti 2026, wafinyelela eGqeberha, lapho ayesehambe khona amakhilomitha angaphezu kuka-2 000. Wamukelwa ngamalungu enhlangano i-Association for the Physically Disabled (APD) eNelson Mandela Bay, amkhombisa uthando nokumeseka emkhankasweni wakhe. Manje, njengoba sekusondele izinyanga ezinhlanu eqale lolu hambo, uKing Nipho usefinyelele KwaZulu-Natal. NgoLwesine, 8 Okthoba 2026, udlule eScottburgh, elibangise eThekwini. Ngokohlelo lwakhe, uzobe eseqhubekela eMbombela, ePolokwane, ngaphambi kokuphindela ePitoli lapho aqala khona. Ubhekana nezinselelo kodwa uthando lwabantu lumgcina eqhubeka Nakuba uhambo lwakhe lubonakala luyimpumelelo enkulu, uKing Nipho uthi akulula ukuhamba amabanga amade nsuku zonke, ikakhulukazi uma usebenzisa umlenze wokufakelwa. Phakathi kwezinselelo abhekana nazo ukuthola indawo yokulala, ukugeza, ukuwasha izingubo nokuthola ukudla namanzi. Okunye okwenza lolu hambo lube nzima ukuthi uzixhasa yena ngokwakhe, ngaphandle koxhaso oluqinisekisiwe lokukhokhela zonke izidingo zakhe. Nokho, uthi ubuntu babantu baseNingizimu Afrika bube yisibusiso esikhulu kuye. Kwezinye izindawo izakhamuzi zimnike ukudla, amanzi nemali, kanti abanye bamvulele amakhaya abo ukuze akwazi ukugeza nokuwasha izingubo. Kukhona namakhansela, izimeya kanye nabantu abamsize ngokumhlelela izindawo zokulala emahhotela nasezindlini zezivakashi. “Uthando engiluthola emphakathini lukhulu kakhulu. Abantu bayangikhuthaza futhi bayangisiza. Bayakuqonda engizama ukukwenza. Lokho kunginika amandla okuqhubeka noma ngabe uhambo lunzima kangakanani,” echaza. Akahambeli udumo kuphela, kodwa ufuna ukuguqula izimpilo zabantu UKing Nipho uthi umkhankaso wakhe awugcini nje ngokukhuthaza abantu abaphila nokukhubazeka, kodwa uhlose nokwakha umphakathi onobuntu, onakekelanayo futhi ongabandlululi. Phakathi kwezinhloso zakhe ezinkulu kukhona: Ukuqwashisa ngokubaluleka kokuhlonishwa nokufakwa kwabantu abaphila nokukhubazeka kuzo zonke izinhlelo zomphakathi. Ukukhuthaza amathuba emisebenzi nentuthuko kubantu abaphila nokukhubazeka. Ukusekela ukulungiswa kwezinkundla zemidlalo ezicekelwe phansi ukuze izingane zibe nezindawo eziphephile zokudlala. Ukukhuthaza ukwakhiwa nokulungiswa kwezindawo zokukhosela abantu abangenamakhaya. Ukugqugquzela ubumbano, ukuthula nobuntu phakathi kwabantu baseNingizimu Afrika. Uthi ufuna abantu baqonde ukuthi ukukhubazeka akumele kube yisizathu sokubandlulula noma ukubukela phansi umuntu. Kunalokho, imiphakathi kufanele yakhe amathuba alinganayo ukuze wonke umuntu akwazi ukufeza amaphupho akhe. Isifundo esikhulu entsheni nakubantu ababhekene nezinselelo Indaba kaKing Nipho iyisikhumbuzo sokuthi izinselelo umuntu ahlangabezana nazo empilweni akumele zibe ukuphela kwamaphupho akhe. Nakuba ukulahlekelwa umlenze kwashintsha impilo yakhe, akazange avumele leso simo simvimbele ekubeni umuntu onamaphupho amakhulu. Namuhla usebenzisa uhambo lwakhe ukukhuthaza abantu abaphila nokukhubazeka, intsha, kanye nabo bonke ababhekene nobunzima bezempilo, ukungasebenzi, ubumpofu noma ezinye izinselelo. Umlayezo wakhe uthi umuntu ngamunye unamandla okwenza umehluko empilweni yakhe nasemphakathini, ikakhulukazi uma ethola amathuba, ukwesekwa nokukhuthazwa. Kukhuthazwa abantu baseThekwini ukuba bameseke Njengoba uKing Nipho ebheke eThekwini, imiphakathi yaseKwaZulu-Natal iyakhuthazwa ukuba imeseke futhi imkhombise ubuntu. Ukumeseka kungaba ngokumkhuthaza, ukumnikeza amanzi, ukudla noma olunye usizo aludingayo njengoba eqhubeka nohambo lwakhe. Lolu hambo luyisikhumbuzo sokuthi ubuntu abulinganiswa ngemali kuphela, kodwa nangendlela abantu abasizana ngayo ngezikhathi zobunzima. UNtshangase akahambi nje amakhilomitha angu-5 000. Uhamba ethwele umlayezo wethemba, isibindi nokuthi wonke umuntu, kungakhathaliseki isimo sakhe somzimba, ufanelwe ukuhlonishwa nokunikwa amathuba okuphumelela.
