Ingxenye ethi “Izinkinga” isikhanyisela ngezinhlobo zokuhlupheka ezisakazekile nezivame ukucasha izilwane ezibekezelela ezweni eligxile kumuntu. Lezi akuzona nje izenzo zonya ezingahleliwe kodwa izimpawu zohlelo olukhudlwana—olwakhelwe phezu kwesiko, ukunethezeka, kanye nenzuzo—olwenza ukuxhashazwa kujwayelekile futhi lunqabele izilwane amalungelo azo ayisisekelo. Kusukela ezilaheni zezimboni kuya ezinkundleni zokuzijabulisa, kusukela emakheji aselabhorethri kuya ezimbonini zezingubo, izilwane zibhekana nokulimala okuvame ukuhlanzwa, ukunganakwa, noma okuthethelelwa imikhuba yamasiko.
Isigatshana ngasinye kulesi sigaba sibonisa isendlalelo esihlukile sokulimala. Sihlola ukwesabeka kokubulawa nokuboshwa, ukuhlupheka koboya nemfashini, kanye nezilwane ezihlukumezekile ezibhekana nazo ngesikhathi sokuthutha. Sibhekene nomthelela wemikhuba yokulima kwasefekthri, izindleko zokuziphatha zokuhlolwa kwezilwane, nokuxhashazwa kwezilwane emasekisini, eziqiwini nasemapaki olwandle. Ngisho nasemakhaya ethu, izilwane eziningi ezingabangane zibhekana nokunganakwa, ukuhlukunyezwa kokuzalanisa, noma ukulahlwa. Futhi endle, izilwane ziyaxoshwa, zizingelwe, futhi zithengiswe—ngokuvamile egameni lenzuzo noma ukunethezeka.
Ngokudalula lezi zinkinga, simema ukuzindla, umthwalo wemfanelo, kanye noshintsho. Lokhu akukona nje unya—kumayelana nendlela ukukhetha kwethu, amasiko, kanye nezimboni ezidale isiko lokubusa phezu kwabasengozini. Ukuqonda lezi zindlela kuyisinyathelo sokuqala sokuzidiliza—nokwakha umhlaba lapho uzwelo, ubulungisa, nokuphilisana kuqondisa ubudlelwano bethu nazo zonke izinto eziphilayo.
Ukunyamalala kwezinyosi sekuyinkinga yomhlaba wonke eminyakeni yamuva nje, njengoba indima yazo njengabathuthi bempova ibalulekile empilweni nasekuzinzeni kwesimiso semvelo sethu. Ngokulinganiselwa kokukodwa kokuthathu kokunikezwa kwethu kokudla kuncike ngokuqondile noma ngokungaqondile ekuthuthweni kwempova, ukwehla kwenani lezinyosi kuye kwaphakamisa izinsimbi zokuxwayisa mayelana nokusimama kwesistimu yethu yokudla. Nakuba kunezici ezihlukahlukene ezibangela ukwehla kwezinyosi, izinqubo zokulima zezimboni ziye zabonakala njengembangela enkulu. Ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane kanye namasu okulima i-monoculture akulimazanga nje kuphela inani lezinyosi, kodwa futhi kuphazamise izindawo zazo zemvelo kanye nemithombo yokudla. Lokhu kubangele umphumela we-domino, ongathinti izinyosi kuphela kodwa nezinye izinhlobo kanye nokulingana kwendawo yonke yethu. Njengoba siqhubeka nokuthembela ekulimeni kwezimboni ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo sokudla, kubalulekile ukuhlola umthelela walokhu ...
