Kuta masinyane

Iminyaka eyizigidi ngaphambi kwamabhukuqi, kwezinkolo nasekhumbulweni loMlando ngokwawo, iMhlabathi yayiyiHlabathi Eliluhlaza kuphela: ilabhorethri ekude lapho amaSpulves ayephuhlisa iphrojekthi eyayikwazi ukushintsha isiphetho somkhathi.

Phakathi kwezivivinyo zezakhi zofuzo, ukuqaphelwa kwezempi nezimpilo eziphathwa njengezizilwane zokuhlola, isidalwa esingalindelekile siphakama sikhononde abasidalile. Bayasibiza ngokuthi Montarion. Kungenzeka ukuthi yiso esokuqala.

Ngemva kokukhulula abantu ababeboshiwe nokubaholela ekhululekweni, uMontarion uthatha indima engaphezu kokuba ngumgwegwe: uthatha indima yokuqala kobudlelwano, yesibonakaliso nesimfihlakalo esizodlula eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, u-Khar’Ka, isilwi sase-Spulve nomlingani kuMphakamo Wehlabathi Eliluhlaza, uthola umyalo ozonquma lonke ibali elizayo: ahlale eMhlabeni, abukele uhlobo olusha, bese enquma ukuthi luyafaneleka yini ukuphila.

Ephakathi phakathi kokuthembeka kwakhe kubantu bakhe nengxolo ebangelwe nguMontarion, uKhar’Ka ubuka ukuzalwa kwabantu, umkhondo wesifa esingenakwenzeka, kanye nesinyathelo sokuqala sesimfihlo esizoholela ngelinye ilanga egameni elithi José Monteiro.

UMontarion Wokuqala: Ukuvela Okumnyama Kwehlabathi Labantu kubonisa, ngesikali esingumdlalo omkhulu, ukuvela kweqiniso kwehlabathi labantu, ukuzalwa kwenganekwane ye-Montarion kanye nesinyathelo sokuqala somlindi, oza kuba yilapho kamuva kakhulu elondoloza khona isiphelo sendawo yonke.

Watsi yebo.

Tikhatsi letintsatfu. Futsi, kwekucala ngca kusukela ekucaleni kweMijikeleto Lemikhulu, indzawo yonkhe yacala kuhlangana mbamba.

Kusele umnyaka munye kuze kube neNyunyana.

Tigidzi tetintfo letikhona mbamba nyalo setibheke endzaweni yinye. Imihlaba itawunyamalala. Tindzaba angeke tisaba khona. Yonkhe imiphucuko itawususwa.

Kepha Buntfu butawusindza. Noma lokungenani nguloko wonkhe umuntfu labekukholelwa.

Emhlabeni wonkhe lokhashane nalowo lapho José Monteiro aphimisa khona labatsatfu “yebo”, kukhona uMhlaba longafani nalomunye.

Umhlaba lotawusala.

Uma kucala kuhlangana, iplanethi ivuka ecinisweni lelite imphucuko leyatiko: emkhatsini wetingucuko letingenamkhawulo teMhlaba letisakateke etindzaweni tonkhe, kutawuba nguleyo letawusebenta njengesikhonkwane seMhlaba weMhlaba Lomunye.

Futsi ngalesisambulo kufika lesinye.

Kute Buntfu buwele iNyunyana, lokungenani umuntfu munye lovela kulowo Mhlaba kutawudzingeka kutsi ahlale aphila uma kuhlangana sekuphelile.

Uma loyo wekugcina afa... bantfu labangenakubalwa baletinye tindzawo tonkhe titawunyamalala kanye naye.

Umhlaba ubuka tinhlobo letalwa ebusweni bawo.

Timphi. Kuphela kwetintfo. Tilwandle letingcolile. Emahlandze abhujisiwe. Umkhatsi loshintjiwe.

Tinkhulungwane teminyaka yebudlova lobumelene nemhlaba kanye lowenta kuphila kwaba khona.

Futsi wente sincumo.

Bantfu ngeke bangene eMhlabeni wonkhe lomusha.

Kubese kucala imphi lenkhulu kakhulu luhlobo lwebantfu lolwake lwabhekana nayo.

Kute libutfo lesitsa. Kute iplanethi longabalekela kuyo. Kute sikhali lesikhona kubulala umphikisi.

Ngoba sitsa ngumhlabatsi longaphansi kwetinyawo takho. Tilwandle. Umkhatsi lokhona. Simo selitulu. Umhlaba wona ngekwawo.

Njengobe tigidzigidzi tebantfu tinyamalala, José Monteiro ucala kucondza kutsi tinhlekelele akusito tingoti.

Leplanethi iyabatingela.

Futsi inenjongo yinye nje: kunciphisa linani lebantfu libe ngu-zero ngaphambi kweNyunyana.

José na Alberto badvonswa empini lapho khona kuncoba akusho kuncoba uMhlaba. Kusho nje kutsi usindze kuyo.

Umnyaka munye. Bese kuba tinyanga. Emaviki. Emalanga. Emahora.

Buntfu busondzela ekupheleni kwabo njengobe tindzawo letiningi kakhulu tichubeka tibheke ekuhlanganeni.

Futsi uma sekusele bantfu labambalwa, umbuto kute lowake wacabanga kutsi kufanele bawuphendvule utawuvela:

ngubani lotawuba wekugcina?

Kukhona yini? Kukhona yini? Lomunye umuntfu?

Mhlawumbe kute lowatiko.

Ngoba kusindzisa bonkhe Bantfu... konkhe lokudzingekako kutsi umuntfu munye achubeke aphefumule uma ema universes aba munye.

Nkulunkulu wabuka Buntfu phakadze naphakadze.

Hhayi Buntfu lobunye nje. Konkhe.

Imihlaba Lengapheli. Tigidzigidzi temphucuko. Indzawo yonkhe lengenakubalwa letalwa kusuka etindzabeni teMgcini Montarion.

Imihlaba yashintja. Emakhulu eminyaka ashintja. Tindzaba tashintja.

Kepha bantfu batiphindzaphindza.

Impi. Inzondo. Kuba nebugovu. Kuncoba. Kubhujiswa.

Umhlaba ngemuva kwemhlaba, Buntfu bakhula, babusa iplanethi leyayidala futsi bagcina sebatfutsa tingcungcutsela tayo etinkanyetini.

Kuze kube ngulapho Nkulunkulu afike esiphetfweni.

Buntfu bekungasiko kulinga lebekungahambi kahle.

Bekusifo lebesisakateke ngendalo yona.

Futsi waphimisa lomusho.

Tinhlobo tebantfu betitawususwa.

Hhayi kusuka eMhlabeni. Hhayi kusuka eMhlabeni wonkhe. Kuvela kuwo wonkhe umuntfu.

Lapho bantfu bekucala bacala nje kungabi khona, tingucuko letehlukene te-José Monteiro titiva loko kute ngisho namunye wabo lokufanele akwati kukuva: letinye tincenye takho tiyanyamalala.

Emasotja. Emakhosi. Bososayensi. Tigebengu. Babhali lababhalako. Emadvodza lasindzisa Buntfu. Emadvodza lahlulekile. Futsi Josés lababe ngco loko labafunga kutsi batawulwa.

Kwekucala ngca, tinguqulo te-José Monteiro kusuka emaciniso langakafaneli ahlangane kutawudzingeka kutsi alwe eceleni.

Kepha akusibo bonkhe bantfu labafuna kuvimba Nkulunkulu. Labanye bakholwa kutsi Ucinisile.

Futsi njengobe impi icala kuhlukanisa Josés bona, lokunye lokungeke kwenteke kutfolakala.

Kuwo onkhe lamaciniso kukhona ne-Alberto.

Nkulunkulu wadala indzawo leminyenti. I Umgadzi yadala tindzaba letikhona kuba yimihlaba.

Nyalo, tidalwa letikuletindzaba kutawudzingeka kutsi tiphendvule umbuto longancuma likusasa lakho konkhe lokukhona:

Nangabe Nkulunkulu adala kutsi kube nekuphila, unelilungelo yini lekuncuma kutsi luhlobo lwetilwane lulahlekelwe nini lilungelo lalo lekuba khona?

Impi yeBuntfu angeke isalwa eMhlabeni.

Litawulwa neMdali walo.

Ngemuva kwetintfo letenteka ku- I-Echo Yekugcina Yetitfunti: Umlotsa Nengati, kucala kubhekana emkhatsini webantfwana baka-José Monteiro na-Alberto Costa — Azarado. Intelligence yekufakelwa itfola emandla futsi, ihlukaniswe, bantfwana balungiselela imphi.

Kudze ngaphambi kwekuvuka kwebantfu, tinhlanga letimbili letinemandla tewela tindlela ekujuleni kwendzawo yonkhe: i-Spulves leyimfihlakalo kanye ne-Reptilians lebusako. Lokwacala njengemhlangano wekuhlola nekufuna kwati kwasheshe kwagucuka kwaba kungcubutana lokungenakugwemeka. Le luchungechunge lwetincwadzi letintsatfu iveta imvelaphi yenzondo yabokhokho emkhatsini waletinhlobo, sivumelwano lesatsembisa kuthula... kanye nengati leyavala siphetfo sabo. Indzaba leyacala imphi yasendvulo icala lapha.

Ngaphambi kwetimphi emkhatsini webantfu nemishini, ngaphambi kwetimphi emkhatsini webantfu nebantfu lababuya kulamanye emave, bekuneMars. Iplanethi lehlalwa luhlanga lwetidlakela letiphocelelako, labagadzi imfihlo yasendvulo. Kepha kuthula kwaphazamiseka ngekufika kwema Reptilians, emasu lanelunya lafuna emandla nekubusa.

Lencwadzi ikhuluma ngekubhekana lokukhulu kwemaplanethi: kuhlaselwa ngesihluku kwetilwane letihucukako eMars, kumela lokuphelelwa litsemba kwema-colossi, kanye nekucala kwekungcubutana. Indzaba yekukhaphela, kubhujiswa kanye nemvelaphi, lapho khona tidlakela netilwane letihucukako tishayana futsi umthala bewungakaze ufane.

José Monteiro wasindzisa iNdzawo yonkhe. Kute umuntfu lokhumbulako.

Ngemuva kwekuhlangana kwato tonkhe tintfo letikhona mbamba, José wavuka ePorto, emhlabeni lapho Brunix, bantfwana bakhe, emaDruids, emaReptilians kanye nawo onkhe emaphucuko labekati angazange abe khona. Elahlwa kutsi abe nguye yedvwa umgadzi wetinkhumbuto takhe, wagucula konkhe labekahlangabetene nako kwaba ingcungcutsela yetincwadzi letatfolwa ngumhlaba njengemanga esayensi.

Ngemuva kweminyaka, inhlangano yahulumende leyimfihlo ingcondvondza emnyango wakho.

Ifihlekile emhlabeni, le-ejensi ivikela Umlandvo ngemnyango munye lokhona kutsatsa bahambi bayo kunoma nguyiphi indzawo nemzuzu esikhatsini lesengcile. Vele uyiwele ucabange lapho uya khona. Umnyango nguye lophetse kutfola indzawo lapho kute umuntfu longabona khona kufika.

Emakhulu eminyaka, ema-ejenti ayo avimbela timphi, emacebo kanye nebahambi kutsi bangashintji indlela yeBuntfu. Kuze kube ngulapho Umlandvo wona ngekwawo ucala kushintja.

Imilayeto lecondziswe ku-José ivela etindzaweni letivaliwe emakhulu eminyaka. Luphawu lwe-Montarion luvela emibhalweni lendzala. Tincwadzi letilondvolotiwe tichaza tintfo letenteka, tidalwa kanye nemphucuko lekhona kuphela etincwadzini latibhala.

Umuntfu lotsite, noma lokutsite, ugucula lokudlule kute akhe kungena kule-Indzawo Yonkhe.

Kubutfwe ngoba nguye yedvwa umuntfu lokhona kubona timphawu teliciniso lelicishiwe, José ucala kuhamba emakhulwini eminyaka. Kepha umsebenti ngamunye wembula incenye yeluhlelo lolukhulu kakhulu: kucaphela lokususwa yinhlangano yemhlaba wonkhe kugucula umlandvo, umcimbi ngemuva kwemcimbi, kudala imvelaphi yawo kanye nekucinisekisa kutsi, ngalesikhatsi, akukaze kususwe.

Futsi lenhlangano iyati kuphela intsengo lekhona kwenta José kukhaphela i-ejensi. Kungenteka kutsi utfole Brunix, bantfwana bakho nabo bonkhe labo labakwebiwe yi-Indzawo Yonkhe.

Njengobe imphi lengabonakali ivutsa esikhatsini lesengcile, José kutawudzingeka kutsi incume kutsi ivikele umhlaba lowakhiwe ekukhohlweni noma ivule indlela yekubuya kweliciniso lelilahliwe.

Ngoba lokudlule akukafi. Kwavinjelwa kutsi kungabi khona.

José Monteiro wafeza loko kute Montarion lowakufeza kusukela ekucaleni kweMijikeleto Lemikhulu. Kukhulunywe neMhlaba wonkhe ngokwawo.

Wala kuba nguMbusi, wavimbela kuhlangana kwetintfo letikhona mbamba, futsi wabhubhisa imbewu ye-buhlakani bekwentiwa lebeyitawuletsa iMphi Yetindlalifa. Kwekucala ngca kutsi likusasa alisabhalwa. Kepha inkhululeko yafika ngentsengo.

Njengencenye yesivumelwano, uma bantfwana babo labangebantfu bahlanganisa iminyaka lengemashumi lamabili, bebatawubitwa eSikhungweni Semhlaba Wonkhe. Gabriel na Daniel bebatawutfola lwati lolubutfwe yimphucuko leyimfica yeMkhandlu futsi bayekele kuguga ngekwetilwane.

Bebangeke babe bantfu labangafi. Bebangeke bagule nobe baguge, kodvwa bebangafa. Bebangabulawa. Futsi kute uMtsetfo wekucala lobewutawulahla tinhlobo tetilwane letinesibopho sekufa kwato.

Umsebenti wabo bekutawuba kutfola loko lokungakaze kukutfolwe nguMkhandlu, noma emaDruids, noma i-Indzawo Yonkhe yona: indlela yekusimamisa yonkhe indzawo yonkhe ngaphandle kwekuyiphocelela kutsi ihlangane ibe yintfo yinye sibili.

Ngemuva kweminyaka lengemashumi lamabili, lucingo luyafika.

Ilungiselelwe nguSofia ngesayensi yeSpulve, umlandvo weMhlaba wonkhe, isu, ifilosofi kanye nekulwa, labazalwane lababili bangena eMkhandlwini njengemadvodza lakhululekile. Kutawudzingeka kutsi babe khona kanye ngemnyaka futsi batawukhona kutakhela timphilo tabo. Noma kunjalo, imihlaba yonkhe ihlala ilimele.

Kuhlangana emkhatsini wemaciniso kuyanyamalala futsi kutawufika sikhatsi lapho kute khona inyunyana, sisombululo noma umhlatjelo lotawukhona kubasindzisa.

Emafayeleni eMkhandlu, Gabriel naDaniel batfola kutsi imphendvulo ingahle ibe esiphetfweni labafinyelela kuso basebantfwana: i-portal empeleni ayihambisi umuntfu emkhatsini. Ukholisa i-Indzawo Yonkhe kutsi vele useluhlangotsini.

Uma kungenteka kutsi kukholwe i-Indzawo Yonkhe kutsi umuntfu ungewalenye indzawo, mhlawumbe kungenteka kutsi kwentiwe tigidzi te-universe kutsi tibonane njengetincenye teluhlelo lolufanako ngaphandle kwekutibhubhisa nobe kutihlanganisa.

Kufakazela le theory, labazalwane kutawudzingeka kutsi bawele imincele lekute imphucuko leyake yawela, baphikisane nemitsetfo lesisekelo yekuba khona futsi baphile sikhatsi lesidze kunabo bonkhe labo labakhetsa sisombululo lesatiwako kunelitsemba lelingeke lenteke.

Kepha sikhatsi lesayekela kudlula emitimbeni yabo sitawuchubeka sitsatse bantfu lababatsandzako.

Futsi lapho Gabriel na Daniel bacala kukhutsata tindlela letehlukene tekusindzisa kuba khona, batawutfola kutsi ingoti lenkhulu kungenteka ingabi khona etindzaweni letifako. Kungaba khona lapho emkhatsini walaba lababili.

José Monteiro waphula siphrofetho. Nyalo, bantfwana bakho kutawudzingeka kutsi bakhombise kutsi likusasa lelite siphetfo lifanelwe kuphila.

Wasita kudala Buntfu kutsi bancobe imphi. Kwaphela tigidzi teminyaka, waba ngumgadzi walo kuphela.

Ngesikhatsi iSpulves iphuma eMhlabeni Loluhlata sasibhakabhaka, iKhar’Ka itfola umsebenti munye wekugcina: kuhlala eMhlabeni, kubuka kugucuka kwetinhlobo letinsha kanye nekwecwayisa bantfu bakhe uma bantfu baba yingoti. Kuvinjelwe kutsi angenelele, kumele ahambe eminyakeni leyinkhulungwane emakamelweni ekumiswa, avuke kuphela kuhlola inchubekelembili yekuhlangenwe nako.

Kepha kusukela ekuvukeni kwekucala, Khar’Ka uyabona kutsi kukhona lokungahambi kahle.

Bantfu abazange basindze kuphela, kepha bacala kusakateka kulo lonkhe leplanethi. Emkhatsini wabo kugijima ingati yaMontarion, lesilwane lesimangalisako lesakhulula tiboshwa tekucala emalabhorethri eSpulves futsi samemetela kubuya kwaloyo lowamnika ligama lakhe. Lapho Khar’Ka aphenya kakhulu ngaloluhlu lwekutalwa, utfola tintfo letingakafaneli kutsi tibe khona: timphawu letibhalwe ngaphambi kwemphucuko leyayidala, imilayeto lebhalwe ngetilwimi letingakatalwa, kanye netiphrofetho letibonakala ngatsi tiyati likusasa.

Ngeminyaka, Khar’Ka ufakaza kutalwa nekuwa kwemphucuko. Ubona tivakashi letivela etikwetinkhanyeti titiveta njengabonkulunkulu, imibuso yebantfu iguculwe yaba tintfo tekusebenta tetimphi letingaphandle kwemhlaba kanye nemandla lafihlekile lancintisana ngekubusa eMhlabeni. Ngekungakhoni kuhlala angabi nandaba, ucala kwephula imiyalo ye-Spulves, avikele bantfu, abhubhise emabutfo layimfihlo futsi asule eMlandvweni imikhondo yalabo lebebafuna kugcilata Buntfu.

Kungenelela ngamunye, noma kunjalo, kumsondzeta kuloko lakwesaba kakhulu: kuba ngumkhapheli emehlweni ebantfu bakubo.

Ngemuva kwemakhulu eminyaka, emkhatsini wemaMaya, Khar’Ka utfola litje lelidzala kunanoma ngukuphi kuhamba kwesikhatsi lokwatiwako. Ligama lelingenakwenteka libhalwe kulo: José Monteiro. Ligama lemuntfu lelabhalwa kudze ngaphambi kwekutsi kube nePortugal, lulwimi lwesiPutukezi noma umhlaba lapho bekatawutalelwa khona.

Lokutfolakala kucala kusesha lokutawutsatsa emavekati kanye neminyaka leyinkhulungwane. Imimango yemfihlo yebantfu iba tindlalifa telwati lwe Khar’Ka. Labanye bafunga kutsi batawuvikela siphrofetho saMontarion; labanye bakholelwa kutsi iJosé itawuba nesibopho sekuphela kweMhlaba wonkhe futsi bafuna kuvimbela kutalwa kwayo. Ngaleso sikhatsi, titsa letindzala tiyabuya, bonkulunkulu bemanga baphindze batfole emandla, futsi i-Spulves icala kusola kutsi umgadzi wabo akasekho umbukeli.

Ngesikhatsi Buntfu bangena ekhulwini leminyaka letimphi, imishini netikhali letikhona kubhubhisa iplanethi, i-Khar’Ka ibhekene nekungabata kwayo lokukhulu: ingabe tinhlobo letivikele iminyaka letigidzi tifanelwe mbamba kuphila?

Imphendvulo itawufika lapho badali babuyela eMhlabeni Loluhlata sasibhakabhaka kute bacedze silingo lesacala ekucaleni kweBuntfu. Bebabhekene nekusongelwa kwekubhujiswa, Tindlalifa teMfihlo tifuna lendvodza ligama layo leliwele sikhatsi, kantsi Khar’Ka utfola kutsi Montarion akazange abe ngumgca wengati nje.

Ngumjikeleto. Futsi José Monteiro ngumcimbi wonkhe uMlandvo bewuwulungiselela.

Edzabukile emkhatsini wekwetsembeka kubantfu bakhe kanye nelutsandvo lwetinhlobo latibona tikhula, Khar’Ka kutawudzingeka kutsi aphule sifungo lesamgcina siboshwa seMhlaba futsi akhetse kwekugcina: anikete Buntfu kubadali babo noma acale imphi lekhona kulahla bonkhe srewo kuvikela imphucuko yena.

Ngoba Khar’Ka washiywa eMhlabeni kutsi ancume kutsi Buntfu kufanele bufe nini. Kepha badali bakhe abazange bacabange kutsi utawufundza kumkholwa.

Wasita kudala Buntfu kutsi bancobe imphi. Kwaphela tigidzi teminyaka, waba ngumgadzi walo kuphela.

Ngesikhatsi iSpulves iphuma eMhlabeni Loluhlata sasibhakabhaka, iKhar’Ka itfola umsebenti munye wekugcina: kuhlala eMhlabeni, kubuka kugucuka kwetinhlobo letinsha kanye nekwecwayisa bantfu bakhe uma bantfu baba yingoti. Kuvinjelwe kutsi angenelele, kumele ahambe eminyakeni leyinkhulungwane emakamelweni ekumiswa, avuke kuphela kuhlola inchubekelembili yekuhlangenwe nako.

Kepha kusukela ekuvukeni kwekucala, Khar’Ka uyabona kutsi kukhona lokungahambi kahle.

Bantfu abazange basindze kuphela, kepha bacala kusakateka kulo lonkhe leplanethi. Emkhatsini wabo kugijima ingati yaMontarion, lesilwane lesimangalisako lesakhulula tiboshwa tekucala emalabhorethri eSpulves futsi samemetela kubuya kwaloyo lowamnika ligama lakhe. Lapho Khar’Ka aphenya kakhulu ngaloluhlu lwekutalwa, utfola tintfo letingakafaneli kutsi tibe khona: timphawu letibhalwe ngaphambi kwemphucuko leyayidala, imilayeto lebhalwe ngetilwimi letingakatalwa, kanye netiphrofetho letibonakala ngatsi tiyati likusasa.

Ngeminyaka, Khar’Ka ufakaza kutalwa nekuwa kwemphucuko. Ubona tivakashi letivela etikwetinkhanyeti titiveta njengabonkulunkulu, imibuso yebantfu iguculwe yaba tintfo tekusebenta tetimphi letingaphandle kwemhlaba kanye nemandla lafihlekile lancintisana ngekubusa eMhlabeni.

Kungenelela ngamunye, noma kunjalo, kumsondzeta kuloko lakwesaba kakhulu: kuba ngumkhapheli emehlweni ebantfu bakubo.

Ngemuva kwemakhulu eminyaka, emkhatsini wemaMaya, Khar’Ka utfola litje lelidzala kunanoma ngukuphi kuhamba kwesikhatsi lokwatiwako. Ligama lelingenakwenteka libhalwe kulo: José Monteiro. Ligama lemuntfu lelabhalwa kudze ngaphambi kwekutsi kube nePortugal, lulwimi lwesiPutukezi noma umhlaba lapho bekatawutalelwa khona.

Lokutfolakala kucala kusesha lokutawutsatsa emavekati kanye neminyaka leyinkhulungwane. Imimango yemfihlo yebantfu iba tindlalifa telwati lwe Khar’Ka. Labanye bafunga kutsi batawuvikela siphrofetho saMontarion; labanye bakholelwa kutsi iJosé itawuba nesibopho sekuphela kweMhlaba wonkhe futsi bafuna kuvimbela kutalwa kwayo. Ngaleso sikhatsi, titsa letindzala tiyabuya, bonkulunkulu bemanga baphindze batfole emandla, futsi i-Spulves icala kusola kutsi umgadzi wabo akasekho umbukeli.

Ngesikhatsi Buntfu bangena ekhulwini leminyaka letimphi, imishini netikhali letikhona kubhubhisa iplanethi, i-Khar’Ka ibhekene nekungabata kwayo lokukhulu: ingabe tinhlobo letivikele iminyaka letigidzi tifanelwe mbamba kuphila?

Imphendvulo itawufika lapho badali babuyela eMhlabeni Loluhlata sasibhakabhaka kute bacedze silingo lesacala ekucaleni kweBuntfu. Bebabhekene nekusongelwa kwekubhujiswa, Tindlalifa teMfihlo tifuna lendvodza ligama layo leliwele sikhatsi, kantsi Khar’Ka utfola kutsi Montarion akazange abe ngumgca wengati nje.

Ngumjikeleto. Futsi José Monteiro ngumcimbi wonkhe uMlandvo bewuwulungiselela.

Edzabukile emkhatsini wekwetsembeka kubantfu bakhe kanye nelutsandvo lwetinhlobo latibona tikhula, Khar’Ka kutawudzingeka kutsi aphule sifungo lesamgcina siboshwa seMhlaba futsi akhetse kwekugcina: anikete Buntfu kubadali babo noma acale imphi lekhona kulahla bonkhe srewo kuvikela imphucuko yena.
