Ingaba Siyaphupha na?
Ngecawe mhla uNelson Mandela wayenyulwe njengo Mongameli, abantu abayi 30 000 bangena inkonzo yombulelo kwibala I-FNB ngase Soweto.
Ndandihleli ecaleni ko Nelson Mandela umtyunjwa wobu Mongameli ndambuza, “uziva njani? ucinga yonke lento iyenzeka?” ngesiqhelo waphendula: ”Ndikhumbula ekuthiwa kuthethwe ngu Leah eNew York, xa itsha ntliziyo lase Norway lalizakuchaza okokuba uphumelele indebe I-Nobel Peace Prize yonyaka ka 1984 ”wathi “sazitsweba ukuqinisekisa sasingaphuphi".
Ndathi “Nje ngesiqhelo” kuba lendoda inobukhosi nesidima, kodwa ithobekile kwaye iyafikeleleka, kodwa yonke lento ifana nephupho. Sasizitsweba rhoqo ukuqinisekisa okokuba sasinga phuphi.

Sibone izenzo ezintle zisenzeka phantsi kwamehlo ethu. Eli ke libonwa njengexeasha lama french lakudala lajokwa ukuze namhlanje ahlonitshwe nangabo babe fudula bemcaphukela.
Wayengana sini nabugwenxa. Wathambisa intliziyo nkqu kwabo bantliziyo nzima “baziwa ngobu krakra” - Bonke babesitya ngovuyo ezandleni zakhe kwaye ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ngoyena Mongameli uthandwa jikelele.
