Nangona uLeah ubesoloko
	engumlwelwe ebomini bakhe, uluntu lwakowabo luyakhumbula ukuba eseyintombazana wayekuthanda ukunceda abantu.
Wakhula waneminyaka engama-41 engazange atshate. Wayengumncedisi kwivenkile yaseNcabaneni, apho wayethunga neempahla zokunxiba. Kwakhona uLeah ubengumshumayeli kwicawe yakowabo. Wayebathanda gqitha abantwana, nangona yena wayengenabo abakhe.
Ngo-1 974 waqalisa ukubonisa iimpawu zokuhlaselwa ngamandla sisifo sokutyatyamba kwamathambo, wanengxaki yeblood pressure neenyawo nezandla ezibuhtungu.
Into yokuqala endayiqaphelayo kukuba andisakwazi ukukhrotsha, kanti yeyona nto ndandiyithanda kakhulu leyo, utshilo uLeah.
Kuthe ngokuhamba kwexesha, andakwazi kuphatha nto tu ngezandla zam. Emva koko ndaba nengxaki yokungakwazi ukugobisa iingalo.
Kwathi ngelo xesha akuqonda ukuba akasenakuzenzela nto, walala kwibhedi asalele kuyo nanamhlanje.
Okumangalisayo kukuba nonina uFanny waqala kwangaloo nyaka ukuba neempawu zokugula ezifanayo nezentombi yakhe.
UFanny wayefundisa eDlangeni Primary School waza waziva ukuba akasakwazi ukuma ixesha elide.
linyawo zakhe zazibuhlungu neblood pressure yakhe inyuke ngendlela exhomis amehlo. Wajika wangakwazi ukuhamba, kwafuneka agaqe endlwini xa epheka ukutya, utshilo uLeah.
UFanny noLeah bazarna ukuziphilisa ngeziqhamo ezazisekhaya kuba kubo kungekho mntu unokusebenza abondle. Kodwa amakhwenkwe ayeziba iibhanana, iipesika, iiorenji neemponyomponyo aye kuzithengisa esitratweni.
Esekukuphela kwento esigcine siphila kukuthanda uThixo. Asixhomekekanga mntwini mnye, kodwa xa sithandaza uThixo uchukumisa abantu abaninzi abanovelwano ukuba bazosinceda, utsho uLeah.
Omnye wabantu abanovelwano yinqununu yaseDlangeni Primary School, uObed Msibi. Kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo indlu ehlala uFanny noLeah yadilizwa yimvula. lfanitshala entle ebabeyithenge besasebenza yonakata apho. UMsibi wabahlangula
nempahla yabo eshiyekileyo, wabanika indlu owayehlala kuyo esikolweni.
Xa iBONA ibityelele usapho lwakwaGama belusandul' ukubuyiselwa emzini walo ngamalungu eBaphalali Aed Cross Society, alwakhele indlu ngeentingo nodaka. lAed Cross yanikela nangeengubo, ukutya nempahla yokunxiba.
Ugqirha wasePortugal ogama linguAdelaide, nomhlobo wakhe uSylvia, balupha ukutya rhoqo usapho lwakwaGama. Baphinde bahlawulele umntu obahlambela impahla, apheke aze abacocele kathathu ngeveki.
SilaIa sodwa ebusuku, ngumixo kuphela osotoko enathi. Maxa wambi xa umama eziva ebhetele uyagaqa aye kupheka ukutya, kodwa xa ebambekile silala izisu zincamathele yindlala, utsho uLeah.
Njengoko nawe umbona, ubambekile namhlanje. Kunzima ke xa ekule meko, kuba mna andikwazi kwenza nto -
ndiza kulala kule bhedi ubomi bam bonke.
Ebutsheni balo nyaka uFanny wayevaleleke endlwini yangasose iiyure ezininzi. Wathi eselapho waphelelwa ngamandla, waza akakwazi ukugaqa aye kwigumbi lokulala. Uncedo walufumana emntwini owayezidlulela ngendlela wamva ekhala waza waya wafika elele phezu kwelindle lakhe. Loo mntu wamcoca waya kumlaliswa ebhedini yakhe.
UFanny noLeah bathandazela ukuba ngenye imini babe nemali eyaneleyo yokuqesha umntu oza kubakhathalela yonk imihla. Ezona zinto athe uLeah bazifuna ngamandla, sisitovu samalahle, ikhabhathi, itafite nezitulo nenye ibhedi.
Siphe usapho lwakwaGama ibhokisi yemifuno, iswekile neti. Sithe xa. silungela ukuhamba seva okokuqala ilizwi elitsholo phantsi likaFanny Gama esithi: Enkosi kakhulu. Akwaba uThixo angasoloko enani.
