La ngamazwi akhe...

Yonke into esizama ukuyenza apha eBali isekwe kumaxabiso ethu amathathu aphambili. Inombolo enye kukucoceka kwenjongo, inombolo yesibini yintelekelelo kwaye inani lesithathu lihlala liyenza ngolonwabo. Sizibona ezi nqobo kwiindawo zokulima emahlathini kwaye ndizibonile kule veki eLittlePod naseJanet. Iinjongo zakhe zinyulu, unentelekelelo entle kwaye uhlala onwabile. Sabelana ngazo zonke iinqobo ezisemgangathweni ezifanayo kwaye yiyo loo nto sinokufezekisa okuninzi kwaye sisebenze kakuhle kunye.

Bendiyithanda indalo ukusukela ndiseyinkwenkwana. Xa ndandikwiSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo, ndajoyina iklabhu yokukhwela intaba kwaye ndihamba yonke indawo apho ndijikeleze iIndonesia. Iintaba zaseJava. Bali. Lombok. Ndaye ndagqiba ekubeni umsebenzi endiya kuba nawo uza kufuna ukubandakanya ukuhambahamba, ukubona iindawo kunye nokuchitha ixesha ngaphandle. Ndiye ndachitha ixesha elininzi ehlathini, ndifunda ngezolimo kwaye ndiqhelana neendawo ezilimayo. Hayi yonke into endiyibonileyo ibilungile.

Kwanangexesha elifutshane, ndiyibonile imeko-bume eguqukayo yaye iyandoyikisa loo nto. Iintaba zaseIndonesia ziyatshintsha, kukho imililo yamahlathi kwaye kushushu ixesha elide unyaka nonyaka. Ndibone iIndonesia itshintsha phambi kwamehlo am kwaye andiyithandi. Sathi sakuba nentombi yethu, yonke into yatshintsha kum kwaye kwafuneka ndenze okuthile.

Utshintsho luye lwaba lukhulu kangangokuba ndaqonda ukuba ngaphandle kokuba senze into ngokukhawuleza, intombi yam ayizukubona iintaba njengoko ndandizibona ziseyinkwenkwe. Xa umfazi wam wakhulelwa, ndamxelela ukuba yonke into endiyenzayo ukususela ngoku kuya kunceda ukulwa nokutshintsha kwemozulu. Ndifuna intombi yam ibe namava afana nalawo ndandinawo ekukhuleni kwam. Ngaphandle kokuba senze utshintsho, oko akuyi kwenzeka.

Andilithandi igama elithi 'uzinzo'. Akufunekanga ukuba sizame ukugcina le nto sinayo ngoku, kufuneka sijonge ukubuyisela izinto kolona hlobo lwazo lungcono. Sasithetha ngozinzo phaya ngeminyaka yoo-1980, kodwa ngoku sikhoyo, ngo-2023, sisathoba ihlathi. Ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kuyo yonke indawo kwaye kufuneka sibuyisele, singagcini.

NjengoLittlePod, ndiyayithanda ivanilla yokwenyani. Inexabiso elikhulu leekholoji. Ukuze ikhule kufuneka igqunywe, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ingagawulwa imithi emikhulu. Ukuba sikhuthaza amafama ukuba aqhubeke ekhulisa i-vanilla - kwaye afunele imarike yeemveliso zabo - abahlali bamahlathi baya kuyishiya imithi emikhulu yodwa kuba kukho ixabiso elikhulu ekugcineni loo ndawo. I-vanilla inamandla amakhulu. Abantu baqala ukuyiqonda loo nto ekugqibeleni.

Andazi ukuba kutheni abantu besoloko besixelela ukuba ukukhulisa i-vanilla kunzima. Yeyona ndlela yokulima yonqena ekhoyo. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba wenze okuninzi ukukhulisa i-vanilla kuba ihlathi likwenzela yonke into. Ibonelela ngokhuselo, umthunzi kunye nenkxaso. Iphucula umhlaba kwaye inceda nokugcinwa kwamanzi. Ikwabonelela ngesichumiso. Ndihlala ndiqhula nabalimi bevanila kwaye ndibaxelele ukuba bayonqena. Ewe, kufuneka wenze i-pollination ngesandla, kodwa lonke ixesha? Eli likamva lokulima endilicingelayo kubantwana bam.

Ndifunde okuninzi ngokusebenza noMade kunye neKetut. Ukuqala kwam ukudibana noMade ndacinga ukuba ufana nomhlohli. Unolwazi oluninzi kunye nothando olukhulu ngale projekthi. Ndikwafunda kuluntu lwamahlathi kwaye ndifuna ukuqokelela ulwazi oluninzi kangangoko ndinako, ndilusebenzise kakuhle kwaye ndincede ukwenza umahluko. Akukho mntu wumbi owenza le nto eBali. Ukusebenza kunye, sinamandla okwenza utshintsho.

Ndiyathanda ukuxelela intombi yam ukuba inokunceda ukwenza umahluko ngokutya i-ice cream. Uthabathekile yivanila kwaye akayiqondi indlela enokuthi isetyenziswe ngayo into emnyama ngolu hlobo – ivanila pod – ukwenza into emhlophe ngolu hlobo – i-vanilla ice cream! Ndimxelela ukuba yonke into ekufuneka ayiqonde kukuba ngokutya i-ayisikrimu esemgangathweni, eyenziwe kusetyenziswa i-vanilla evela kwihlathi lolondolozo, unceda indalo. Uye wayiqonda le nto kwaye ndicinga ukuba lo iya kuba ngumyalezo wam kubo bonke abantu.

Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ufane nam, ube yihlathi kwaye uyiphile 9-5. Kufuneka nje ucinge ngokhetho olwenzayo kunye nezinto ezincinci onokuzenza ukunceda ukwenza umahluko. Yiloo nto siyenzayo e-Bali, yintoni eyenziwa yi-LittlePod e-UK kunye nento esiyenzayo kunye. Sidinga nje ukuqhubeka, sinokuqhuba olo tshintsho.

I-LittlePod inemigangatho ephezulu kwaye kunjalo nathi eBali. Sabelana ngaloo migangatho kwaye sabelana ngemilinganiselo efanayo kwaye andithandabuzi ukuba ubudlelwane bethu buya kuqhubeka bukhula kwaye bukhule. Bekumnandi ukubona iqela leLittlePod eBali kule veki kwaye njengaye wonke umntu osebenza apha, ndiziva ndinethemba ngekamva lethu kunye.
