Ukuhlola Isabelomali Sombuso esihlongozwayo soMbusi mhlawumbe sifana nokufunda i-Dickens ngokuthi kufanele udabule izincazelo eziningi ngaphambi kokufika ezintweni ezinhle. Noma kunjalo, izinto ezinhle zingaba nzima ukuzithola. Kunjalo ngombhalo oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ka-2013-14 ukulinganisa isabelomali saseCalifornia.
Uma usebhizinisini lokudala amapaki endawo, ukonga amapulazi, noma ukuphatha kanye nokuthuthukisa amahlathi kahulumeni wasemadolobheni, akukho okuningi ongajatshuliswa ngakho kulesi sabelomali. Awekho amadola ahlonziwe kulezi zinhlelo, kanye namanye ambalwa athembele emalini yebhondi kule minyaka eyishumi edlule. Ngisho noHlelo oluvame ukwethenjwa lokuThuthukiswa nokuNciphiswa Kwezemvelo kuhloswe ngalo ukuthi lushanelelwe ohlelweni olubanzi lwe-Active Transportation Programme – imininingwane yalo namanje akwaziwa. Igama elithi “ukufiphala” kungase kube igama elifika engqondweni.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuthi uyipakishe ngokuphelele, njengoba abangani bethu ngaphesheya kweSiziba bebengasho, kukhona inhlansi yethemba efihle izigaba ezinhlanu kuSifinyezo Sesabelomali seBhodi Yezinsiza Zomoya yaseCalifornia kanye nohlu lwamaphrojekthi ahlolelwa uxhaso kanye nohwebo. :
Ezinye izindawo okufanele zihlolwe ngesikhathi sokuhlela zihlanganisa izindlela zezolimo ezisimeme (okuhlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwe-bioenergy), ukuphathwa kwamahlathi namahlathi asemadolobheni, kanye nokuphambukiswa kukadoti wemvelo ku-bioenergy kanye nokwenza umquba. Uhlelo lokutshalwa kwezimali luzoqinisekisa izinzuzo emiphakathini eyayincishwe amathuba.
Sekuphele izinyanga, inqwaba yezinto ezithakaselwayo ezikhethekile - kokubili okuhle nokubi - bekulindeleke ukuthi bangene kulolu hlu lwezinto eziyisithupha ezingase ziqhubekele phambili ohlelweni lokuqala lokuqalisa lokucatshangelwa koxhaso nge-cap kanye nenzuzo yohwebo. Nezihlahla zethu zenze ibanga. Faka kule ngxube amathuba okungenzeka abonakale kubhondi yamanzi yango-2014 kanye/noma ukusetshenziswa kwe-Proposition 39, futhi kungazelelwe sibuyela ku-Dickens.
Lona kuzoba unyaka oyinselelo kumahlathi asemadolobheni, futhi sizoshayela Inethiwekhi yethu ukuze sithole ukwesekwa ezingeni lendawo, isifunda kanye nesifundazwe njengoba, sisonke, sisebenzela ukuzuza ucezu lukaphaya olufinyelela ezigidini zezigidi zamaRandi. Ngakho-ke nakuba kubonakala sengathi asinalutho phambi kwethu, iqiniso liwukuthi... ah, uyakwazi okunye.
Siyabonga kakhulu ukwesekwa kwakho esikhathini esidlule nasezikhathini ezizayo.
