IUZulu yikhaya lami lesibili. Angizange nje ngichithe isikhathi esiningi endaweni esenyakatho yeTheku, lapho ngisathatha khona izimpilo zami eNingizimu Afrika. Ngemisebenzi yami neThula Thula Private Game Reserve, ngihamba kaningi ngonyaka ukuya eNingizimu Afrika ngomsebenzi. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, ngiye ngaqonda ukuthi umphakathi walapho usezinkingeni ezinzima kangakanani. INingizimu Afrika ecebile, ikakhulukazi ngemva kokuwa kwe-Apartheid, eyayihlose ukukhuthaza abantu abamnyama, ukubavumela, nokubanika amathuba okusebenza, isho ukuthi yikho konke okulahlekile. Inkohlakalo nobudlelwano bezihlobo kubangele izimo ezimbi kakhulu emiphakathini yaseZululand. Izindawo zabucala zezilwane zasendle, ezake zasekela amaphrojekthi emiphakathini, manje azikwazi ukukwenza lokhu ngenxa yokuzingela kwezilwane zasendle, ikakhulukazi izindlovu nezinsumansumane, lapho imali eningi isetshenziselwa ukuphepha nokwakha izimpi zabucala.

Iningi leziphakamiso zethu ligxile emiphakathini emihlanu ezungeze iThula Thula, indawo yangasese yokulondolozwa kwezilwane eduze kwedolobha laseNingizimu Afrika i-Empangeni. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukuvikelwa kwezilwane nemvelo kungenzeka kuphela uma imiphakathi ezungeze indawo yokulondolozwa nayo ishintsha impilo yazo.

Ubumpofu phakathi kwabantu, obulawulwa izinga lokungasebenzi lika-60%, buyingozi kakhulu. Ezinganeni ezincane, ezingaphakathi kwezingane zasenkulisa nasezikoleni, amalungu abuthakathaka omphakathi, kunokushoda kokudla, izicathulo zesikole nezindawo eziphephile zokufunda.

Ngale nhlangano sifisa ukwenza umehluko ngosizo lwakho. Sinikeze abancane emphakathini wethu ithuba lokwakha ikusasa labo kangcono ngokufunda. Sikhulule izingane ngobumsulwa bazo ngokuphinde siphinde zinikezwe izicathulo zesikole zomnyaka. Futhi siqinisekise ukuthi izingane ezincane ezikoleni zithola okungenani isidlo esishisayo ngosuku ngenxa yemikhankaso yethu.

Njengoba bekukhonjisiwe esikhathini esedlule, ama-100% wemali enikelwe asetshenziswa ngenhloso yayo eZululand.
