Netherlands Tindzaba: Luhambo lwaseNetherlands: Sifundvo sesikhala ngaphansi kwelizinga lelwandle

Ekasa lase-Amsterdam, kusicalo lesihle kakhulu saloluhambo lwaseNetherlands. Eceleni kwemselo kusenomswakama wasebusuku, ngephansi kwelibhuloho kunesikebhe lesidlula kancane, umsindvo wemanti ukhuphuka elubondzeni lwetitini. Kungalindzeleki, enkundleni lencane eceleni kwemfula kunekukhatela kwe-sliding tackle, tinkhofi tihudvule tjani lekungesilo lemvelo, ibhola laginqika eceleni kwaya elucingeni, umfana logcoke ijezi le-orange welula ibhola. Tinsimbi temabhayisikili tadlula ngemuva kwakhe, umsindvo wezigwedlo, umsindvo wamabhuleki, nekuhleka kwahlangana. iNetherlands ayikunikeli sithombe sekucala, ikubeke kucala ehlelweni lolusebentako: emanti ahamba eceleni, bantfu bahamba etindzaweni letiphakeme, ibhola lifuna kuphuma esikhatsini lesincane.

Ekuhambeni kulelive, uyashesha kubona kutsi 'kubacaba' akusiyo imvelo nje, kodvwa kungumklamo wekusindza. Isikhumulo setindiza saseSchiphol singaphansi kwelizinga lelwandle, emadolobha lamanyenti ancike emadameni, etiteshini tekumpompa, nasemisekeni kugcina komile. Umugca wemanti eceleni kwemgwaco uthule njengendvuku yekulinganisa, kodvwa uyakhumbuta: umhlaba lophansi kwetinyawo awusiyo nto lecolekako. EmaDutch akazange enze emanti sitha, kodvwa alungise indlela yawo, atishiyela tindlu, imigwaco, tjani, netinkhundla. Kuphila ngaphansi kwelizinga lelwandle, kufana nekuprakthiza kuphatha ibhola nsuku nesuku.

Emanti aya enyakatfo, i-Afsluitdijk yenta lokuphindza kabili kube yinkhundla lengemakhilomitha langu-32. Ngesandla sekuncele kunemanti lamanyenti lanolaka we-Waddenzee, ngesandla sekudla kunemanti lavinjelwe abe lichibi le-IJsselmeer, umoya usuka elwandle, ibhantshi lomuntfu ligcwala njenje seyili. Uma umi edamini ubuka imibala lemibili yemanti, uyabona kutsi i-Afsluitdijk akusiyo nje impumelelo yebunjiniyela, kodvwa kusitatimende ngesikhala: lwandle lungaba lukhulu, kodvwa bantfu bangakwati kudvweba umugca. Into lenhle ngeNetherlands akusikho kuba neromantic, kodvwa kwakha iromantic etikweni lokunembile lwekususa emanti.

Indlela yemhlaba ishiywa emabhayisikilini. Imigwaco lebovu idlula emadolobheni, emadolobhaneni, nasemapulazini, njengetinye timitsambo. Tivakashi tase-Amsterdam tivame kwesatsiswa tinsimbi temabhayisikili, kodvwa emaDutch agibela ngekwetama, abamba ngesandla sinye, ngalesinye aphatse timbali, ekhofi, noma umntfwana. Lapha, ibhayisikili akusilo libhola lekungcebeleka, kodvwa kukhetsa kwelidolobha ngesikhala: timoto tiyakuvumela, bantfu bagcina sijubane, kuphila kufinyetwe esikalweni lesifanele. Utawubona kutsi indlela yemigwaco yaseNetherlands netindlela tabo tekudlala ibhola kuyafana: kuncane kwemandla, kukhulu kwekubuka kusengaphambili.

Lomuzwa ubonakala kakhulu e-Utrecht. Umselo we-Oudegracht akusilo ligaba linye lekubuka kuphela, ngephansi kwemanti kunetindawo tekudlela netinongo, umgwaco uchubeka ngenhla, bantfu baphila njengetigaba letimbili telidolobha linye. Emva kwemini ngahlala eceleni kwetjani, ngeva umsiti letsa emathreyini aphuma emkhatsini wemahhadla, ngenhla kwami kunemabhayisikili agibele ematseni, etinyaweni tami kunesikebhe lesigwedla kancane. Emadolobha eNetherlands awafuni kwendlala konkhe, kodvwa agcina sikhala lesincane siphambene, sibuyela emuva, sabele abantu labanesivinini lesehlukene.

IGiethoorn iguqula lobuhlobo bemanti nemhlaba. Lapha umnyango ubheke emseleni, tikebhe tifana nemabhayisikili etindzaweni letinyenti. Ngesikhatsi sikebhe lesincane sisuka eludvwaleni, sigwedlo sicindzetela emanti kancane kucala, sinconotile siphuma, sincence siphansi kakhulu kunasedolobheni. Uphahla lwemhlanga lubonakala emantini, emabhuloho emapulangwe ladlulelana aphansi kakhulu, tivakashi tikhuluma ngekwehla kwelizwi ngekungacabangi. Emanti avule emanti latjani, ngacabanga ngekubeketela kwemaDutch ngesikhala: akusiko kwenta umgwaco ube mkhulu, kodvwa kutfola lenye indlela etikwemanti.

ERotterdam, umoya uba bukhali kungakalindzeleki. Ngephansi kwe-Markthal lenkhulu, umfanekiso wetitselo ufana nekuwa esilingini, etindlini tekutsengisa kunamakheji lanoshukela, umuntfu wekwosiwa kwemakhekhe, nekubaba kwekhofi kuhlangene ebusweni. Lapha akunakho lokuhle lokudzala kwase-Amsterdam, kukhulu lokwakhiwa kabusha ngemuva kwemphi: i-Cube Houses ime itsembekile, i-Erasmus Bridge yeqa umfula iMaas, imakethe, tindlu tekuhlala, nekuhamba kuhlangene emklameni munye. IRotterdam ikutshela kutsi umuzwa wesikhala waseNetherlands awusiwo wemadolobha lamadzala nemiselo kuphela, kodvwa nangekucala kabusha.

Eningizimu eBreda, umsindvo webhola uba sedvute. UVan Dijk watalelwa lapha, lidolobha alikukhulu, kodvwa linemoya wekuciniseka. Umbala lophushi nalomnyama we-NAC Breda uvela emafasiteleni emabha, emadvodza lamadzala aphatse emabhiya acoca ngenkundla, bantfwana baprakthiza kumisa ibhola enkundleni. IBreda ayitidayisi njengetfoli yemdlali, kodvwa yenta umuntfu abone kutsi kungani uVan Dijk afana nelidamu lelihambako: akajahisi kuvimba konkhe, kodvwa ucala ngekuma lapho emanti atawufika khona, atsatse sikhala lapho umgijimi afuna kugijima khona.

Nayi into lengikholisako ngekubuka ibhola eNetherlands. UGakpo uphuma ku-PSV yase-Eindhoven, nakadlala njalo ufana nemuntfu lobone sikhala semzuzwana ngaphambili; uVan Dijk uhlanganisa kudideka ngaphambi kwenkundla aze abe yimigca leminyenti lehlelekile. Nangabe live licedze iminyaka lifundza kutsi kungakhiwa kanjani sikhala nemanti, nekutsi emabhayisikili, tikebhe, bantfu, netakhiwo kungaphila njani ndzawonye kumhlaba lomncane, emadlodlo alo kungenzeka futsi ati kutsi sikhala asikho, kodvwa siyakhitshwa, siyabikezelwa, sitsatfwa ngekhatsi ngekhatsi.

Kamuva, e-Eindhoven, ngephandle kwesiteshi sesitimela ngabona bantfwana labagcoke emabhantshi e-PSV, babeka tikhwama tabo njengensika yemagoli, badlala batsatfu kubatsatfu enkundleni. Ligama likaGakpo laphumela kakhulu ngekumemeta, bekungafani nenkanyezi, kodvwa bekufana nebantfu bendawo bacoca ngemntfwana lohambe kakhulu. UVan Dijk naye kunjalo, emandla akhe akusiko emandla omtimba kuphela, kodvwa ngumandla wekufundza simo ngekuthula. Lokuhle kakhulu kwebhola laseNetherlands, kufana nemadolobha eNetherlands: cala ubuke kutsi emanti aya ngakuphi, bese unquma kutsi ibhola liya ngakuphi.

Ngaphambi kwekusuka eNetherlands, ngaphindze ngaya emseleni wase-Amsterdam. Emanti akusihlwa abamnyama, emalambu emabhayisikili avuleka linye ngelinye, kukhashane, enkundleni lencane kwaphindze kwaba nalokukhatela lokuhlobile. Bantfu bahamba eceleni kwemanti, sikebhe sidlula ngephansi kwelibhuloho, umntfwana umisa ibhola etinyaweni takhe alindze kutsi labanye bagijimele esikhundleni. Ngaleso sikhatsi, imigwaco yemanti neyemhlaba ifana nemigca lemibili evalekile emehlweni. Luhambo lwaseNetherlands olukhumbulekako akusiko indzawo yinye, kodvwa yindlela lelive lichubeka nayo likhombise: nangabe umhlaba ungakuniketi sikhala lesenele, ungasebentisa emadamu, emasondo, imiselo, nekuphasisa, uphindze usidale sikhala.
