In iZulu the short stories and essays found in this book introduce us to the evolving and living conditions that people live in during the lockdown. The themes addressed in this book show the ways in which South Africans were affected due to the deplorable social conditions under the strict rules of the lockdown. The major themes addressed in this book, include among others, the challenges faced by the teachers and learners in schools, having to adopt to the new modes of teaching and learning (online teaching) and the issue of government disregarding the cultures, customs, beliefs, and traditions of Black people during the lockdown. The life experienced by the poor Black people is revealed in such a way that each writer writes about the background of the story built under this time of social crisis of the lockdown. Each author created his own place where the events took place in the story he invented and thereafter re-created the characters showing how they got along because of the situation of social pressure.

Isandulelo

Imibhalo iyashesha ukuveza umlando wezigameko ezifana nezobhubhane lokhuvethe, ikakhulukazi imibhalo evela emaphephandabeni. Ukuvela komlando ezincwadini zemibhalo kuncike ekushesheni noma ekucothozeni kokushicilelwa kwezincwadi. Umlando ophuma ezincwadini zomlando wona uhamba kancane impela ngoba okuthathwa ngokuthi ngumlando kuthatha igxathu elithize ukuze kubhalwe‘ezincwadini zomlando’. Kusazoba iminyakana-ke ukubona okubhalwe ngokhuvethe ezincwadini zomlando. Noma kunjalo, okucishe kuhambe phambi kwemibhalo ngokushesha ukushicilelwa, komculo. Umculo ushesha ngokuthi ingoma iqanjwa manje ize ihlangane kungapholi maseko, liyashona ilanga, isivuthiwe, isiyaculwa.

Ukhuvethe lona, luthinte impilo yabantu abaningi kakhulu– ngezindlela eziningana ezehlukahlekene. Leli bhuku libhalwe ngezindaba ezimfishane (short stories) nama-eseyi (essays) ngokuthinteka komphakathi ngenxa yesimo esibi senhlalo ngaphansi kwemigomo enzima ye-lockdownyokhuvethe.

Ngokuthinteka komphakathi isimo senhlalo embi ngenxa yokhuvethe, kubhale ababhali abasha nabamnkantsh’ubomvu ngalesi simo. Izindikimba ababhale ngazo ebhukwini ziveza izindlela abantu baseMzansi abathinteka kabuhlungu ngazo ngenxa yesimo esibi senhlalo ngaphansi kwemigomo elikhuni ye- lockdown yekhorona. Lokho kuphila kabuhlungu kuvezwa ngendlela yokuthi umbhali ngamunye ubhala ngesizinda sendaba

yakhe ngaphansi kwalesi sikhathi sokuxakeka senhlalo ye- lockdownyekhorona. Umbhali uzakhela indawo lapho izigameko zendaba aziqambele zona zenzeka khona, aphinde azakhele abalingiswa abonisa ukuthi bahlalisene kanjani ngenxa yesimo sengcindezi yenhlalo yekhorona. Isimo esibi senhlalo yekhorona singena kunoma yisiphi isizinda umbhali azakhele sona, ngoba zonke izigameko zenzeka ngaleso sikhathi se-lockdown yekhorona.

Abaveza imibono yabo kuma-eseyi nabo baphawula ngabakubona kwenzeka ngaphansi kwesimo sezinkinga zemigomo ye-lockdownImibono yabo nayo yekhorona. inesizinda, esinendawo enenkathi yesimo senhlalo esiphansi kwemigomo ye-lockdownyekhorona.

Ukuvela kwe-Covid 19, kunonise isiZulu kakhudlwana ngoba kwavela amagama amathathu asetshenziswa kabanzi ezindaweni ezinesiZulu: ukhuvethe, ikhorona, ikhovidi. Isilo samaBandla Onke kaZulu sizwakala sizebenzisa igama ‘ukhuvethe’. Kunjalo nasezindaweni ezingaphasheya koThukela uma usuka eThekwini uya kwaNongoma. Nasemisakazweni yolimi lwesiZulu kusebenza kakhuluigama ‘ukhuvethe’, kanjalo nasemaphephandabeni esiZulu.

Baningi nokho abakhuluma isiZulu abasebenzisa igama, ‘ikhorona’, babembalwa abasebenzisa igama, ‘ikhovidi’. Kuyezwakala ukuthi abathi, ‘ukhuvethe’ noma ‘ikhovidi’, bahumusha u-‘covid 19’, kanti labo abathi,‘ikhorona’, bona bahumusha i-‘corona virus’.

Okuhle ngalokhu kusebenza kwala magama amathathu emphakathini, kuphikisa lokhu okulokhu kwashiyo abathize ukuthi izilimi zabomdabu azikwazi ukusho osekushiwo yisiNgisi. Ziyakwazi. Kuzokhunjulwa ukuthi nayo ikhorona leyo, sekuyaziwa manje ukuthi ayiqubukanga emaNgisini. Nawo amaNgisi azifunela igama lesiNgisi, labhebhetheka nayo.

Kule ncwadi, kudedelwe ukusetshenjiswa amathathu: ukhuvethe, ikhorona, ikhovidi.

Thokozela ukufunda lezi zindaba.
