KungoMgqibelo ebusuku kwelinye lamakilabhu ahamba phambili e-Nairobi. Iziphuzo ziyageleza, umculo we-house ukhala futhi izithandani zigaya endaweni yokudansa noma zixoxa endaweni yokucima ukoma. Abanye bagonene ndawonye ezihlalweni ezinjengosofa ngaphandle.
Kodwa laba akubona abantu abasha abaya ephathini bakho abazithokozisayo - iningi labashadikazi kulobu Mgqibelo ebusuku, empeleni njalo ngoMgqibelo ebusuku, lakhiwe amakhehla amhlophe, ikakhulukazi izivakashi nosomabhizinisi, kanye nabesifazane abasebasha baseKenya abashisayo.
Isigcawu sibukeka njengento ephuma kufilimu yamahlaya. Amanye amadoda anempandla, amanye anezinwele zikaDonald Trump, adansa okoyisemkhulu abadonsa kanzima ukuthola isigqi. Inqwaba yezibuko zakwa-Bill Gates namajazi ezemidlalo ansundu namnyama anezikibha ngaphansi.
Futhi amantombazane? Mude, ozacile, omnyama ngezingubo ezimfishane futhi uze lapha.
Indoda eyodwa ibukeka ilinganiselwa eminyakeni engu-60, inempandla, isisu esinesisu futhi isikibha sayo esimnyama sifakwe ebhulukweni elinokhalo oluphakeme. Aqhamuke entombazaneni yaseKenya ebukeka ilinganiselwa ku-25. Yinde, igqoke ingubo emnyama elingana kahle nezithende ezenza imilenze yayo ibe sengathi iyahamba ibanga elide.
"Ngingakuthengela isiphuzo?" ebuza ngenkani isiJalimane. Athi ngokudangala, “Yebo. Uphuma kuphi?"
Akuphelanga sikhathi bayaxoxa endaweni yokucima ukoma futhi isandla sakhe siyashibilika sisuka emhlane siye ngemuva, ingalo yakhe sizungeza ukhalo lwakhe. Umcothoza ngemuva ngesigqi sika-Britney Spears esithi “Give Me More,” kuhlebeza endlebeni yakhe futhi emizuzwini embalwa kamuva bayaphuma eklabhu, ndawonye.
Owesifazane waseKenya omi eduze kwabo unikina ikhanda bese ethi kumngane wakhe, “Langa,” okuyigama elisho “isifebe” ngesiSwahili, ulimi lwesizwe lwaseKenya.
Le ntokazi egqoke ingubo kungenzeka ukuthi ayizange ibe isifebe, kodwa maningi amathuba okuthi yayisifebe. Enye “yezinzuzo” zokuza eKenya njengesivakashi esivela emazweni aseNtshonalanga ukutholakala kalula kwabaqwayizi.
Idumela 'Locansi Olulula'
Ukudayisa ngomzimba akukho emthethweni eKenya, kodwa abaphathi nabanikazi bamakilabhu nezindawo zokungcebeleka babheka ngenye indlela. Kuvame ukuthathwa njengengxenye yesipiliyoni sezivakashi - kanye nekhulu lezigidi zamadola iKenya elilethayo ngenxa yezokuvakasha.
Kodwa akuzona nje izilwane zasendle zezwe namabhishi adonsa izigidi zabantu minyaka yonke.
"IKenya inedumela locansi olulula," kusho uCaroline Naruk, 29, umphathi we-akhawunti enkampanini yezikhangiso yaseKenya.
Abaqwayizi akubona njalo “abahamba emgwaqweni” abajwayelekile. Eziningi zingatholakala kulokho okubhekwa njengezikhungo eziphakeme.
"Abanye balaba besifazane bayasebenza, abesifazane abasezingeni eliphakathi," kusho uNaruk. “Bathi 'Ntambama ngizogqoka, ngihlangane nesivakashi, ngilale nocansi, ngithole imali ngiqhubeke nempilo.'
Ubufebe baseKenya Buphambene Nabantu Bendawo
Inkinga, kusho iningi lamaKenya, ukuthi la “malungiselelo” aqala ukuhlanekezela umphakathi wonke. U-Naruk ungowesifazane omude, omncane, omangalisayo - futhi uthi uhlale ehlukunyezwa abavakashi nosomabhizinisi baseNtshonalanga.
“Ngizizwa ngidelelekile,” kusho yena. “Sekufike ezingeni lokuthi uma ngiphuma ngizihlalele ngicindezelekile ngendlela engigqoka ngayo ukuze ngibukeke ngendlela ehlukile.”
Usanda kuyeka ukuya ezikhungweni ezithile. Kodwa naye uyahlukunyezwa nasemsebenzini. Omunye waseNtshonalanga edolobheni ohweba ngebhizinisi, athi wayesecela eminyakeni engu-50 ubudala, wathola inombolo yakhe kumphathi wakhe futhi waqala ukufona njalo, ezama ukumyengela ekamelweni lakhe.
“Kwaba yinkinga ngempela,” kusho yena. “Iningi labavakashi nosomabhizinisi abeza lapha banemali eningi, futhi uma beza lapha bacabanga ukuthi ‘ngingaba yinoma yini engifuna ukuba yiyo,’ futhi yileyo ndlela abaziphatha ngayo.”
Ukudayisa Ngomzimba Kujikisa Ukuxhashazwa Kwezingane
Ucansi ngenjongo yokukhokha luvame kakhulu eNairobi, ogwini lwaseKenya, ikakhulukazi emadolobheni okuvakasha aseMombasa naseMalindi, kangangokuthi ukomela ukudayisa ngomzimba kuye kwaholela ekuxhashazweni okugcwele kwezingane. IKenya manje isithathwa njengenye yezindawo zomhlaba jikelele zokuvakasha kwezingane ngocansi.
Ngo-2006, i-UNICEF yakhipha umbiko mayelana nokushushumbiswa kwezingane eKenya iveza ukuthi amaphesenti angaba ngu-30 amantombazane asemancane aneminyaka engu-12 ahlala ogwini ayehileleka ocansini nje kuphela ukuze athole imali.
Futhi yizivakashi zaseNtshonalanga ezishayela ukuhweba, ngokusho kombiko. Amadoda avela eYurophu akha ngaphezu kwesigamu samakhasimende.
“Izivakashi ezixhaphaza izingane ziyisizinda senkohlakalo ehilela abaningi bomphakathi wendawo,” kusho lo mbiko. "Kubalulekile ukuthi abenzi bokubi bashushiswe abantu abadala, hhayi izisulu ngokwabo."
EMombasa, izinsizwa zaseKenya, ezaziwa ngokuthi “abafana basogwini,” zaziwa ngokushada nabesifazane abamhlophe abadala, imvamisa izivakashi zaseNtshonalanga eziye zehla ngendiza ukuze ziyohlangana ngokocansi. Njengozakwabo besifazane, lezi zinsizwa zinikezwa imali nodumo oluthile lokuba “isoka” lesivakashi esicebile saseNtshonalanga.
Izifebe ZaseKenya Zinethemba Lokuhlenga
Kepha iqiniso lokuthi la malungiselelo asho ukuthini kwabesifazane nabesilisa abasebasha baseKenya ngokuvamile ahluke kakhulu kunenganekwane abayithengisayo. Abanye abazona izifebe zangempela ezingochwepheshe, kodwa izinsizwa nezintombi ezimpofu ezikholelwa “iqhawe elimhlophe” elicebile liyofika lizobahlenga futhi libanike ukuphila okunethezeka kwaseNtshonalanga.
Yize kunendaba eyenzeka ngezikhathi ezithile izithandani ezigcina zithandana, isikhathi eside, ikakhulukazi, yilo wesifazane waseKenya ogcina ehlukumezekile. I-Kenya isewumphakathi olinganiselayo, wezenkolo, futhi amadoda nabesifazane abahileleka “ebudlelwaneni” nezivakashi bavame ukucwaswa.
“Kubavakashi, abanandaba ngempela,” kusho uNaruk. “Isimo sengqondo sithi: 'Ngingalala nawe, ngingakukhulelisa, ngingakuthelela nge-HIV futhi ngiqhubeke nempilo yami. Uma nje ngikunika imali, kulungile.'
Ulandisa ngendaba yomngane wakhe owayeneminyaka engu-23 ubudala owahileleka ebhizinisini nendoda yaseBrithani eneminyaka engu-45 ubudala eKenya. Wamdlisa iwayini wamudla, kwathi seliphelile ibhizinisi lakhe wabuyela e-United Kingdom, wamshiya ezithwele. U-Naruk uthi umngane wakhe sekuphele iminyaka engayiboni le ndoda. Ukuhlangana kwamosha impilo yalo wesifazane.
“Kwadingeka ashiye ikolishi, umsebenzi wakhe futhi abuyele ekhaya nonina,” kusho uNaruk. “Akakaze alulame, nengane yakhe ngeke imazi uyise.”
Futhi nakuba iningi labantu baseKenya livuma ukuthi akekho ophoqelela laba besifazane abasebasha nabesilisa ukuthi bahlanganyele nezivakashi zaseNtshonalanga, abeneme ngedumela lokuya ocansini olulula izwe elinalo - futhi babeka icala ngokuqondile ekuziphatheni "okubi" kwezivakashi ezizayo. lapha.
“Kufana nokuthi, ngoba umhlophe futhi unemali ungabalekela konke lokhu, futhi kulungile,” kusho uNaruk. “Kodwa akunjalo.”
