Kwaye njengomfazi ohamba yedwa ongumfazi oMnyama, ngokukodwa, uNabongo uzibona njengommeli. Ndimnyama, ndihlala ndimnyama, ndiya kuhlala ndimnyama. Ndingahamba nje kwihlabathi lonke njengoMntu oMnyama… oko kuthetha kona amaxesha ngamaxesha, kokulungileyo okanye okubi, kukuba ubamele abantu abantu abakuchonga njengabo, utshilo. Ubukhulu becala, abantu bandichonga njengowaseAfrika - andisoloko ndibonwa njengoMnyama waseMelika. Inika ithuba lokunika abantu kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo amava, kwaye basebenze ukubulungisa ubukho bethu ngaphaya kokonwaba, ngaphaya kwento abayibona kwiindaba. Inika ithuba lokunika abantu amava okwenyani kwaye ngethemba lokubanceda babone, njengoko ndinjalo, ukuba siyafana ngakumbi kunokuba sahlukile.

Inyaniso, ukwaphula imiqobo ubeyinxalenye yemishini kaNabongo ngaphambi kokuba ade abeke kuhambo lwakhe lokujikeleza umhlaba. Ngo-2015, waseka Jet Mnyama , inkampani yokuhamba e boutique esebenza noorhulumente kunye neempawu ukukhuthaza ukhenketho kumazwe aseAfrika, kuMbindi nakuMzantsi Merika, nakwiCaribbean. Emva kokumiliselwa, uNabongo usixelela, umxholo wokuqala wenkampani wawusithi: 'Ukutshintsha ibali.'

Xa kufikwa kumazwe aMdaka kunye naBamnyama, sihlala sibona ukungakhathali, kwaye yayingelova lam, utshilo, edwelisa iSudan, iSomalia, iAfghanistan, neSaudi njengeendawo apho wayenamava amahle. Ndikhumbula ngaphambi kokuya eRashiya naseSaudi naseLibya, abantu babefana, ‘Kufuneka ulumke kakhulu. Abantu baseRussia babathiyile abantu abaNtsundu, amaSaudis ayabacaphukela abantu baseAfrika. ’Zonke ezi zinto zahlukileyo, kodwa ndandinamava amnandi ngokwenene kuwo onke loo mazwe.

Oko akutsho ukuba akazange ahlangabezane nemingeni. Ndabuzwa imibuzo emininzi ngokufudukela kumazwe ahlukeneyo kuba bebengakholelwa ukuba njengomphathi wepasipoti waseUganda, ndilapho kwezokhenketho, utshilo uNabongo, otshintsha phakathi kwepaspoti yaseMelika neyaseUganda, kuxhomekeke kwindawo ahamba kuyo.

UNabongo ukhumbula enye indibano kwindawo esemaphandleni yaseKyrgyzstan, xa wabona zonke iimoto ezisendleleni zimile zimjongile xa ewela isitalato esiya kufumana iSIM khadi nomntu wasekhaya. Ndandifana, 'Hayi, duh, ndimnyama kwaye ngekhe babone umntu omnyama apha,' utshilo. Ayitsho ukuba ndiyalibala ukuba ndimnyama… kodwa ayisiyonto ndihlala ndicinga ngayo.

Kodwa loo miqobo - ngamanye amaxesha inobuqili, ngamanye amaxesha ingqokelela - ayimcothisanga. Ndiyazi abantu abaninzi abaMnyama bayabuza, ‘Ngawaphi amazwe akhuselekileyo kubantu abaNtsundu?’ Andijongi kangako kuhambo olunje. Andizange ndize kuGoogle 'Kunjani kubantu abaMnyama kwilizwe le-X kuba, kum, ndihlala naphi na apho ndikhoyo, utshilo.

Ngokwazisa ukuba abantu banamava ohlukeneyo obomi anokubakhuthaza kwizenzo zabo kunye noxinzelelo, uNabongo ubongoza wonke umntu ukuba ayeke uloyiko. Ndifuna wonke umntu azive ngathi kukho umhlaba oza kuvavanywa, utshilo. Ndifuna ukuba sisuke kuloyiko, nokuba ungumfazi… okanye umntu ongengomlungu. Ndifuna abantu baqonde ukuba umhlaba ngowethu sonke ukuba siwuhlole. Yiyo kanye le yesikolo sokucinga ukuba uphethwe kunye nelizwe lakhe ukuya kwilizwe, ubumelwane ekuhlaleni.

Kwaye amazwe angama-195 kamva, umhambi ongenaxhala uthi uninzi lwamava akhe awathandayo ebekhe atyelelwa kancinane, amazwe ahlala engakhathalelwanga, kuba abantu ngokwabo bonwabile ukuba nabakhenkethi, kwaye bafuna ukubonisa abantu ilizwe labo ngaphandle kwezinto ezimbi ozibonayo kwiindaba.

Phakathi kweendawo ezingafakwanga kakuhle ezigqame kakhulu, uNabongo ubiza iSudan, iNamibia, umantla eNorway, iMadagascar, kunye neTonga. ISudan kuba baneepiramidi ezingaphezulu kunye neephiramidi ezindala kune-Egypt. Ukwanalo nolwandle oluBomvu, apho ungaya khona ukuntywila, kwaye ngokwenkcubeko, ndiyifumanisa inomdla kakhulu, utshilo. Kwaye iNamibia lilizwe elihle ukuba ujonge ukwenza uninzi lokuhlola ngendlela. Unentlango yaseSossusvlei, iSkeleton Coast, unayo i-safaris.

Uyaqhubeka nokuthetha ngokubukela iminenga, ukutyibilika ekhephu, kunye nokuntywila kwenja kumantla eNorway, onke amathuba okhenketho- iilwandle ezikumgangatho wehlabathi, amahlathi ashinyeneyo, iiemur, kunye nebaobabs- eMadagascar, kwanokudada neminenga ekuthiwa yi-humpback endle eTonga, indawo ekumazantsi ePasifiki, athi, ayilufumani uthando olubafaneleyo. Ukuthetha noNabongo uziva ngathi ukutyhila amaphepha ephephancwadi lokuhamba: kuyakhuthaza, kukwazisa, kukushiya uziva ngathi ufuna ukulahla yonke into, upakishe ibhegi, uhambe.

Njengalo lonke ihlabathi, nangona kunjalo, indlela yokuphila kaNabongo yokuhambahamba iye yanqunyanyiswa phakathi isifo esikho elizweni jikelele sentsholongwane ye-Corona . Nangona kungamangalisi ukuba usakhuthaza abanye ekhaya - wasungula ikhosi yejografi yabantu abadala nabantwana ngokuvalelwa bodwa, enika abantu iinyani malunga namazwe ahlukeneyo, kwaye esebenza ngendlela efanelekileyo yokubiza amagama. Baninzi abantu abafuna ukuhamba, kodwa abazali abaninzi bezama ukufumana iindlela ezintsha zokonwabisa abantwana babo, ke oko kwaqala njengeklasi yabantwana, kodwa ke abantu abadala abaninzi bebeyicela, nayo, utshilo. ikhosi, esongelwe ngoku, nangona inokubuya kwakhona ehlotyeni.

Kodwa xa kukhuselekile ukuhamba kwakhona, lo mfazi ukubonileyo konke ufuna ukuya phi? ICuba, utsho uNabongo, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo. Ndiqale ukutyelela iCuba ngo-2016 kusuku lwam lokuzalwa. Ndahamba neqela labahlobo, ndathandana nalo, utsho. Kakhulu, kangangokuba kwiinyanga ezili-18, watyelela amatyeli amane. Ndiyabathanda abantu baseCuba, ndiyawathanda amandla ... Lilizwe elimangalisa ngolu hlobo. Ngokucacileyo, inembali enomdla, kodwa i-joie de vivre yokuba abantu abahlala nabo intle kakhulu ukuba bangangqina kwaye bayifumane kancinci loo nto ebomini bakho.

Oku kumamela inkolelo yakhe yokuba ikhaya lihlala ebantwini, ukuba wonke umntu ngummelwane wakhe, nokuba umi phi na ehlabathini.

Ngaba lolunye uhambo oluphambili kuhambo lwakhe? Uninzi lwabantu lulungile. Kwaye sifana kakhulu kunokuba sahlukile, utshilo.

Kukuphi ukuhamba okubonisayo akunandaba nokuba ungumSilamsi okanye ungumJuda, umnyama okanye umhlophe, uyindoda okanye ulibhinqa, sonke singabantu nje. Kwaye ekuhambeni nokuthetha nabantu abakwiindawo ezisemaphandleni kumazwe angaphuhliswanga kakuhle ngokwezoqoqosho, uyayifumana nyani loo ngqondo ‘Owu, ufana nam. Ngokuqinisekileyo, asithethi ulwimi olunye, kodwa nifana nje nam. '

Ukuhamba + Ukuzonwabisa kunye neapos; ipodcast entsha, Masikunye kunye, masihambe kunye, silapha! Bhalisa ukuva uJessica Nabongo kunye namazwi akhuthazayo abelana ngamava abo okhenketho awodwa.
