Kwiveki ephelileyo yawela ezandleni zam Ukucazulula ingqondo, isincoko esidibanisa iintetho ezine zikaNgũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Ingcinga yaseKenya kunye nomgqatswa onokubakho kwiBhaso likaNobel loncwadi kulo nyaka. Incwadi ehlalutya iingxaki zenkcubeko kwaye, ngakumbi, kuncwadi lwamanye amazwe ukusuka ezingcanjini zawo: eyokoloniyalizim eyathi kwimbali iphethe ukuphelisa ulwimi lwamaqela amancinci.
Ihlabathi, i-UN kunye nemibutho bayathetha ngamalungelo oluntu, kodwa kunqabile ukuba sicinge ngako ilungelo lokubhala ngolwimi lwakho.
Inkcubeko yokuthimba
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, ngexesha lesinye seentetho zakhe kunye nomkhuseli ophambili welungelo lokubhala ngolwimi lwakhe.
Ngexesha elibizwa ngokuba yiCongress of African Writers of English Expression eyayibanjelwe eMakerere University (Uganda) ngo1962, kwabakho indibano phakathi kwababhali abohlukeneyo baseAfrika. Nangona kunjalo, abaninzi baphoswa yiTanzania UShabaan Robert, imbongi ebaluleke kakhulu e-Afrika ngela xesha. Kwaye kutheni ungazange uye? Kungenxa yokuba uRobert akazange abhale ngesiNgesi, kodwa wabhala isiSwahili kuphela, kwaye ngenxa yoko wayengakulungelanga ukuthatha inxaxheba kwinkomfa enjalo.
Esi siganeko siye sahlalutywa amatyeli aliqela ngexesha leenkomfa zika-Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, owathi emva kokupapasha iinoveli ezininzi ngesiNgesi ngenxa yetalente eyamvumela ukuba aphakame kwityathanga laseKenya, wagqiba kwelokuba eme abhale kuphela kunina. ulwimi, ulwimi gikuyu. Isibindi esaphantse sathimba ubomi bakhe samkhokelela ekubeni aye elubhacweni e-United States kungekudala.
Imizekelo emibini kwemininzi yendlela impembelelo yesininzi, kwesi isiNgesi ama-impiriyali ama-France awathimba i-Asiya, i-Afrika kunye neLatin America kangangeminyaka, anyhashe iinkcubeko ezahlukeneyo. Okokuqala, ukubaphembelela malunga nobuze bemidaniso yabo, iingoma kunye nemibongo; emva koko babanyanzela ukuba bajike iintloko zabo ziye kwinkcubeko entsha abangenakuze bahlangane nayo ngokupheleleyo. Okwangoku, i-cocoa, ioyile okanye iidayimani zaziphuma ngomnyango ongasemva.
Lungisa okanye uxhathise
Nangona kunjalo, kwangaxeshanye ingxoxo ebanzi iqhubeka apho izimvo zininzi: ezinye, ezinje ngeNiua Achebe yaseNigeria, zisebenzise le nkongolo sele ikhankanyiwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukuba unikwe indawo yokusebenzisa isiNgesi ukufikelela ebantwini. , Ndingayisebenzisa. Kwangelo xesha, abanye ababhali abaninzi bayaqhubeka nokucinga ukuba into ebalulekileyo ngumxholo, kwaye okoko unokusasazeka okukhulu kulwimi oluninzi kuya kwanela, kuba umbhali akanamdla kumagama, kodwa koko yitsho. Kwelinye icala, uThiong'o okhankanywe ngasentla uthulisa ulwimi lwesiNgesi njengendlela yokuthintela ulawulo lwangaphandle kwiinkcubeko ezincinci ezinjengezakhe. Amaqela olwimi anolwimi lwawo olunomculo, isingqisho kunye namabinzana ekunzima ukuwaguqulela kolunye ulwimi.
Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo bendithetha ngalo lkuncwadi njengesixhobo sokutshintsha umhlaba. Kwaye inyani kukuba iya kuba yenye yezona zinto zisebenza kuzo zonke. Nangona kunjalo, inxenye yale odyssey yokubuyisela amanxeba ehlabathi inokuba ikukuvumela zonke iinkcubeko ukuba zivakalise izimvo zazo kunokuba zibenze babe neengcinga ezingakhombisi eyona ngxaki.
Abantu abaninzi, ngakumbi amatshantliziyo, kungoku nje banoxanduva lokukhuthaza ilungelo lokubhala ngeelwimi zeentlanga ezahlukeneyo. bambalwa ukuze kugcinwe inkcubeko yabo, enemizekelo efana Inkqubo yokufunda yakutshanje ngesiKurdish evunywe yiYunivesithi yaseKurdistan, eIran, okanye ukukhuthazwa kweKichwa njengolwimi lwesibini lwesikolo, iindidi ngeendidi zesiQuechua ezivuselelwe e-Ecuador ngumbutho weCONAIE.
Okwangoku, andifuni ukuphela ngaphandle kombuzo: ngaba kungangcono ukuvumela ukukhula kwazo zonke iilwimi endaweni yokufuna ukuziqhelanisa nolwimi oluya kubavumela ukuba babe nokusasazeka okukhulu?
Kwaye ulumke, igama elithi "ubuzwe" alibonanga kuwo nawuphi na umgca.
