NgoJuni 2014, yaphumla nentombi eJiphutha. Yayilolo hambo lwesibini lokuya eJiphutha kunye nowokuqala ukuya eHigthada. Ihotele yakhethwa kufutshane neZiko leSixeko ukuba nethuba lokuya kuthenga, yiya kwi-cafe, kwaye uphume ehotele. Ngenxa yoko, kwizixhobo, sasinezikhuni ezine kwi-Hurgthada ilungelo lolwandle. Isitrato saseSheraton siye kwiteksi kwimizuzu emihlanu. Ngokubanzi, indawo yehotele esihlala yaneliseka ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye sithanda i-Hurgthada. Okokuqala, ulwandle olumangalisayo kunye nolwandle. Amaza aphantse aphantse abe nesanti elwandle, ngokukhawuleza inzulu ngokwaneleyo. Ukusukela ukuphumla ngoJuni, kwakushushu kwaye amanzi ashushu kakhulu. Kodwa kuthi ingumlingane omkhulu.
Bachitha usuku ngosuku elunxwemeni, ukusuka kwi-9 kusasa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-2 ngentsimbi emva kwemini. Emva koko baphumla egumbini kwaye phantse yonke imihla saya kwiziko. Ivenkile enkulu yayihlala ityelelwa, eyayikwiSheraton Street. Umqhubi weeteksi wayesoloko esisa kuye ngqo. Ithenge i-chips, i-ice cream kunye nezinto ezincinci. Khange ndiyithande ivumba kwiivenkile, uhlobo oluthile lwento engaqhelekanga, kwaye yayikho kuzo zombini iivenkile ezinkulu kunye neevenkile ezincinci.
Zazikwisitrato esikhulu kunye neevenkile ezintle ezinempahla. Ndizizinge jeans kwivenkile ye-levi kunye neqela lebhola ekhatywayo ePuma. Intombazana leyo iyonandiphe ihamba kwiindawo zokuthenga zamaYiputa. Kuhle kakhulu ukuba urhweba, uhlala enkqonkqoza amaxabiso kathathu kwasekuqaleni. Saya eMcDonalds kanye. Kwaye kube kanye endlwini yentlanzi. Exelwe kakhulu, ukukhetha okukhulu kwezitya zentlanzi. Sithathe uSushi. Mnandi kakhulu andizange ndityephi. Utye iinxalenye ezintathu nganye. Qiniseka ukuya kule ndawo yokutyela, xa ndiza kuba eHurgthada.
Ngokubanzi, ndiyithanda kakhulu iHurgthada, isixeko esiselula. Yonke indawo ukwakhiwa, ukuba uya kwisitalato esikhulu, uya kuwa kwisixeko esahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo apho kuhlala khona abantu bendawo. Intlupheko iyanyikima. Kunye nokwahlukileyo phakathi kweehotele ezinobunyameko kunye nendawo yendawo.
Kodwa ke ubomi esixekweni bubilisiwe. Ndiyathanda ukutyelela izixeko, apho kukho abantu bendawo, hayi imimandla yabakhenkethi. Yintoni efunekayo ukubona umboniso onjalo ?!
Bendingahamba kwakhona eHurggoud kwakhona. Into inomtsalane kwesi sixeko.
