Kunakidzwa nemasikati echifukidziro chegore uye mvura inonaya papurazi rine imba yevaenzi musavanna.Chiratidzo chinogamuchirwa uye chikonzero chekupemberera.

Rwizi rweOrange, rwuri kuderera, nderimwe rerefu muSouthern Africa.Inoumba muganhu pakati peSouth Africa neNamibia.

Kubhururuka kwemaawa gumi pamusoro penzvimbo huru yebhuruu yeSouth Atlantic pakupedzisira kwakapa mukana kumhara.Ndichitarisa chigaro changu chehwindo chekuruboshwe, kubva pamamita 35,000, pasina chinhu kunze kwegwenga risina chinhu reSouthern Africa, kusvika pakuona maziso angu.

Yakasvika netekisi pakati peCape Town, yaingova kabhegi kadiki diki.Zvakasiyana chaizvo neLatin America: Inenge dzimba zhinji - uye Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys - seBeverly Hills.Asi panguva imwe cheteyo, vane utsinye mumigwagwa vachiuya kwandiri sema zombies, vazhinji vakapfeka mamvemve, pano kubva muhurombo hweimwe yemataundishipi ari padyo.

Iyi inyika itsva uye inokatyamadza chose.Mudhudhudhu ikozvino wakaiswa zvakachengeteka kure mugaraji renguva refu muUruguay.Ndiri pano kuzochovha bhasikoro nemuAfrica.

Mumwe akasvika ari mukadhibhokisi hombe, kubva kuBoise.Frank Leone nechikwata cheGeorge's Cycles vakanyatsoisa misoro yavo pamwechete.Vakafunga nezvese chiitiko chavo chekuchovha bhasikoro, chiitiko chega chega chechokwadi chemugwagwa, uye vakaunganidza muchina uyu.Zvese zvakagadziridzwa, pamwe nemamwe macomputer maturusi uye akawanda akakosha maspare parts, senge masipokisi, cheni chinongedzo, vhiri, imwe shifter tambo, sprockets, nezvimwe zvakawanda.Imwe neimwe inonzwika dial, yakaedzwa uye yakaiswa.

Husiku hwekupedzisira muCape Town, pane imwe pub yeIrish, mumwe mukadzi ane bhora remugungwa reAfro uye chiso chinoyevedza chakabata ziso rangu paakapfuura.Akapinda ndokugara pedyo neni pabhawa.Ndakati ndimutengere drink achibva abvuma.Vakabva vati tisuduruke patafura tichibva taenda.Takava nekurukurirano inofadza;zita rake ndiKhanyisa, anotaura Afrikaans, iro rakafanana neDutch asi rinotoswedera pedyo neFlemish yekuchamhembe kweBelgium.Pamusoro peizvozvo, mutauro wechitatu wekuzvarwa, ini handiyeuke, waive neakawanda e "tinya" manzwi, ndakatodzidza mamwe mazwi ekutuka asi ndakakanganwa iwowo.

Pashure peinenge awa akapa mamwe masevhisi kubva ku“basa rekaresa.”Ndakanga ndisingafariri asi ndakanga ndisingadiwo kurasikirwa naye, saka ndakamupa maRand mashoma okuSouth Africa (mari yepamutemo yokuSouth Africa) kuti angogara tichitaura, uye akabvuma.

Uyu waive mukana wangu wekubvunza mibvunzo, chero chinhu chandaida kuziva.Hupenyu hwakasiyana kudivi iroro.Zvakaoma, kutaura zvinyoro.Pamubvunzo wangu wakawanda, ndakabvunza kana angave mukadzi wechichena asina kunaka kana mukadzi mutema akanaka sezvaari, muno munyika ine nhoroondo inosuwisa yerusaruraganda.Mhinduro yakauya nyore kwaari.Zvakanyatsojeka kuti kusaenzana kwekukwezva kunogona kutonyanya kuomarara kupfuura mazana emakore ekushungurudzwa kwevapambi, pamwe nekuwanda kwekusaenzana kwehupfumi.

Akanga akatendeseka zvinoshamisa uye akakodzera kuremekedzwa.Steely, airatidzawo kuti hapana chaaitya kunze kwekushaya mari yekubhadhara mari yechikoro yemwanakomana wake.Ikoko pane chimwe chinhu chokufungisisa.

Vanhu vazhinji varipano kusanganisira Khanyisa vanonyatsofarira kufamba kwangu.Wese muSouth Africa pasina kusarudzika ane rupo nenguva yavo.Izvi zviri pamusoro pese rupo rusina magumo rweLatin America.Ndinowanzonzwa humwe hunhu hwevanhu, hwepasirese se “wave mhoroi,” ruremekedzo rwakadzama rwe“mufambi” runoratidzika kuva runopfuura chitendero, nyika, rudzi, uye tsika.

Sezvineiwo, ndakatanga kuchovha makumbo mumangwanani eChishanu, Feb. 7. Pasina nhamburiko chaiyoiyo ndakakwanisa makiromita 80 nomumakomo anomonereka emugwagwa wemhenderekedzo yegungwa yokumadokero kweSouth Africa.Hazvina kushata kumukomana asina kumbogara pachigaro chebhasikoro mumwedzi gumi yapfuura.

Kumashure kwangu kwairwadza hazvo.Makumbo, zvakare.Ndainge ndisisagone kufamba, saka mangwana acho ndakaenda kunozorora uye kupora.

Zvinofadza sezvazvaiva, zvakanaka kutiza sekisi yenharaunda huru yeCape Town.South Africa inouraya vanhu makumi mashanu nenomwe pazuva.Pamusoro pemunhu wega wega, zvakangofanana neMexico.Hazvina kundinetsa, nekuti ndine musoro.Vanhu vanovhunduka nezvazvo, ndiudze kuti vanoyemura "ushingi" hwangu.Ndakangoti dai vakaivhara, kuti ndikwire mukusaziva nerunyararo.

Kuwedzera kuchamhembe, kunyange zvakadaro, kunozivikanwa kuva kwakachengeteka.Nyika inotevera, Namibia, muganhu wayo uchiri mamwe mamaira 400 mberi, hainawo kugadzikana.

Kukwira magasi apfuura kunonakidza, nenzira.Hazvichadi kuti utenge zvinhu zvakakurisa zvakare.Ndakasunungurwa.

Mafemo echinyakare esimbi anodonha pakushanda mapurazi kunze kuno munyika yakaoma yakaoma, mifananidzo ine huruva inoyeuchidza “Mazambiringa Ehasha,” unyanzvi hwaJohn Steinbeck hweAmerica's Dust Bowl.Mhou, springboks, mbudzi, gungwa rine munyu rinoona zuva rose.Mumwe anocherechedza zvakawanda kubva pachigaro chebhasikoro.

Ndakapinda mukati ndakanyatsonzwa, ndakatsva nezuva, ndine dzungu, ndakakwaziswa nemasaisai eushamwari sezvandaiumburuka zvishoma nezvishoma mberi.

Ruzhinji rweiyi gungwa rekugara vanhu veruvara vane mumwe mumvuri wakanaka kana mumwe, vanogara mudzimba dzine mamiriro ekunze, ese akapera, akaomarara kumativi.Vanosvika gumi muzana vachena, uye vanogara mudzimba dzinopenya pane imwe kona yeguta, kona ine maonero akanaka egungwa.

Nenguva isipi, zvikepe zviviri zvemabhiza zvinosveta pasi pegungwa, zvichikohwa madhaimani.Idzi nzvimbo dzemumhenderekedzo yegungwa, kubva kuno uye kuchamhembe kusvika kuNamibia, dzakapfuma nemadhaimani, ndakadzidza.

Makiromita makumi maviri neshanu ekutanga akagadzirwa, mhepo shoma shoma, kunyangwe kusavapo kwemhute yegungwa yemangwanani kwaifanira kunge kuri yambiro.Ndiri kunzwa kusimba, nekukurumidza, saka chii chiri kunetsa.Ndakatakura zvigubhu zvishanu zvemvura asi ndazadza maviri chete pazuva diki iri.

Kwakabva kwauya junction.Mugwagwa waienda kuNuwerus waive wakawanda uya waipedza simba nejecha nemapuranga nejecha.Mugwagwa uyu wakapindawo munyika, ndokutanga kukwira.

Ndakadaro ndichikwidza gomo ndatobonyora mvura yangu yese pakabva pasvika mota hombe yebasa nekumashure.Mwana akatetepa akazembera chigaro chevatyairi (mavhiri ekufambisa ari kurudyi), chiso chine hushamwari, chine manyawi, akatevedzera "mvura yekunwa" kakati wandei.Akashevedzera pamusoro peinjini yedhiziri, "Unoda mvura?"

Ndakamusimudzira zvine ruremekedzo.Ingori mamwe mamaira makumi maviri.Icho hachisi chinhu.Ndiri kuoma, handiti?Akakwenya ndokudzungudza musoro kwave kusimuka.

Ipapo kwakauya mimwe mikwidza.Imwe neimwe yaitevera nekukona uye imwe ichikwira ichionekwa kumatenga.Pasina 15 minutes ndakatanga kunzwa nyota.Nyota yakaperera.

Makwai gumi nemaviri akanga akatutirana pasi pedanga.Chirongo nechigero chemvura chiri pedyo.Ndanzwa nyota yekukwira fence, ndozoona zvekunwa mvura yehwai?

Gare gare, imba.Imba yakanaka, yakavharwa, pasina munhu.Ndakanga ndisati ndanzwa nyota yekupaza, asi kuti kubvaruka uye kupinda zvakatopinda mupfungwa dzangu kwaityisa.

Ndakanzwa hasha dzekuti ndidhonze weti.Payakatanga kuyerera ndakafunga kuichengeta, kunwa.Saka zvishoma zvakabuda.

Ndakanyura mujecha, mavhiri angu akabuda uye ndakadonha chaizvo.Hapana mukuru.Ndakanzwa zvakanaka kumira zvakanaka.Ndakatarisa zvakare pafoni yangu.Kunyange zvakadaro hapana sevhisi.Zvakadaro, kunyangwe ndiine chiratidzo, munhu anofona "911 ye emergency" kunze uko?Chokwadi mota ichauya nekukurumidza….

Mamwe makore akauya panzvimbo.Makore muhukuru hwekare uye chimiro.Kungopfuura mumwe kana maviri kwemaminetsi mashoma kunoita mutsauko.Ngoni dzakakosha kubva kumaranzi ezuva.

Kamhepo kakabva katanga kusimuka.Unozoona zvipo zvidiki pane dzimwe nguva.Rimwe gore rakakunguruka.Ndakazonzwa rori richiuya nechekure.

Ndakamira ndokuburuka, ndichitevedzera “mvura” sezvayaiswedera pedyo.Imwe shasha yekuSouth Africa iri pavhiri rerudzi rweLand Cruiser yakasvetuka ndokunditarisa, ndokupinza ruoko mukombi ndokutambidza half bottle recola.
