Ukubumba Izaga Usebenzisa Amabala Owaphiweyo

Ngiyakwamukela njalo mfundi webanga lesine kumfundo yesecondary kusigaba sethu esithi, Sithini IsiNdebele? Kulesi isigaba injongo yethu yikuthi sigqibe isifundo sethu lapho ebesifundisana khona ngokwakhiwa kwezaga usebenzisa amabala owaphiweyo. Kulesi isifundo ngizathanda ukuthi ngigqibe ngokuliphathisa ngoluhlu lokucina lwamabala ongacelwa ukuthi wakhele kuwo izaga sikhangelane lenhlalo yamaNdebele. Manengi amabala okungakhethwa kuwo ukuthi wakhele kuwo izaga. Ngakho-ke, ziphe isikhathi ubale kabanzi njalo uthiye indlebe ulalelisise nxa amaNdebele ekhuluma ngoba ungafunda okunengi ngalezi izaga ezakhelwa emabaleni athile. Lamuhla sizakhangela izaga ezakhelwe emabizweni aphathelane lokulima lezilimo. Ngiyalikhuthaza njalo ukuthi lizitholele ugwalo oluthi, Izaga ukuze lengeze ulwazi lwenu njalo lithole lengcazelo yalezi izaga lokhu ngikhangelele ukuthi lenelise njalo ukupha ingcazelo zazo.

Ukuze aziphilise amaNdebele, engikunanzeleleyo yikuthi zimbalwa izaga ezakhelwe kuzilimo lekulimeni ngenxa yokuthi ayeqakathekisa kakhulu ukufuya kulokulima. Ungakhangela imikhono lapho atholakala khona, ilezulu elincane ukuthi abantu baziphilise ngokulima. Okwakuvuma kakhulu yikufuya, hlezi yikho zimbalwa izaga eziphathelane lokulima lezilimo. Ekulimeni lapha ayenanzelela okwenzakalayo lendlela izilimo ezikhula ngayo besekusakhelwa izaga kulokhu kwenza ngenjongo yokwethula umbiko thile ebantwini. Nanka amabizo ezilimo ongacelwa ukuthi wakhele izaga kuwo:

1.(Ibele) Ibele lendlela alivuthwa.
2. (Amakhomane) Uthango ludla amakhomane.
3.(Umumbu) Inkuku iyawusola umumbu.
4.(Amajodo) Amajodo awela abangela mbiza.
5.(Okuphathelane lokulima, indlala loba inala) Inala kayihambi kuhambi ndlala.
6.(Amabele) Zidla belindile.
7.(Amazambane) Izambane liquntwa kunina.
8.(Ikhuba) Ikhuba lokweboleka alilandima/Ikhuba lomunye alilandima.

Sizakuma lapha ngalesi isifundo. Dingani amanye amabala afana lala esifundisane ngawo libumbe izaga loba lengeze ngezinye izaga lisebenzisa la engiwaphileyo. Ngizathanda ukuthi liziphe isikhathi lidinge ingcazelo yalezi izaga njalo. Asihlangane esifundweni esilandelayo lapho esizafundisana khona ngokusetshenziswa kolimi.
