I-Incredible Edible Community Garden ibe nomphumela omuhle emhlanganweni wokuxoxisana nomphakathi wangoFebhuwari 2015.
Amaqabunga afika ngenqwaba yomumo nemibala, kodwa lawo anikezwe umsebenzi wokuwavikela nokuyigcina awabonisi ukuhlukahluka okufanayo, ngokocwaningo lwakamuva.
“Isimo Sokuhlukahluka Ezinhlanganweni Zemvelo: Ama-NGO Ajwayelekile, Izisekelo, Ama-ejensi Kahulumeni” eqhutshwa ngu-Dorceta E. Taylor, Ph. D. we-University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources & Environment (SNRE) yakhululwa ngoJulayi 2014. Ithole ukuthi nakuba sekuthathwe izinyathelo ezithile eminyakeni engu-50 edlule, izindima eziningi zobuholi kulezi zinhlangano zabamhlophe zisaphethwe ngabamhlophe.
UDkt. Taylor wafunda izinhlangano zokongiwa kwemvelo ezingu-191, izikhungo zikahulumeni zemvelo ezingama-74, kanye nezisekelo ezingu-28 ezenza izibonelelo zezemvelo. Umbiko wakhe uhlanganisa nemininingwane etholwe ezingxoxweni eziyimfihlo nongoti bezemvelo abangama-21 ababuzwe ngesimo sokuhlukahlukana ezikhungweni zabo.
Ngokombiko, inzuzo enkulu ibonwe ngabesifazane abamhlophe. Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi abesifazane babambe ngaphezu kwengxenye yezikhundla zobuholi obuyi-1,714 ezifundwe ezinhlanganweni zezokongiwa kwemvelo nezokulondolozwa. Abesifazane nabo bamele ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-60 abantu abasha abaqashwayo nalabo abafunda kulezo zinhlangano.
Izinombolo ziyathembisa, kodwa ucwaningo lwathola ukuthi kusekhona "igebe elibalulekile lobulili" uma kuziwa ezikhundleni ezinamandla kakhulu ezinhlanganweni zemvelo. Isibonelo, ngaphezu kwama-70% omongameli nosihlalo bebhodi lezinhlangano zezokongiwa kwemvelo abesilisa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngaphezu kwama-76% omongameli bezinhlangano ezenza uxhaso lwezemvelo ngabesilisa.
Lo mbiko uphinde waqinisekisa ukuthi kukhona “uphahla oluluhlaza,” okutholakala ukuthi yi-12-16% kuphela yezinhlangano zezemvelo ezacwaningwayo ezihlanganisa abambalwa emabhodini azo noma kubasebenzi abajwayelekile. Ukwengeza, okutholakele kubonisa ukuthi laba basebenzi bagxile emazingeni aphansi.
UKUBEKA EQALA UKUTHUTHUKISWA KWEZINHLOKO
URyan Allen, oyiMenenja Yezemvelo Yesikhungo Sentsha Nomphakathi saseKoreatown (I-KYCC) e-Los Angeles, ithi akumangazi ukuthi bambalwa abantu bemibala abamelwe kuma-ejensi amaningi ajwayelekile nezinhlangano.
“Uma kubhekwa izinselelo abantu abambalwa ababhekane nazo eMelika, kuyaqondakala ukuthi imvelo ayikathathwa njengesizathu esiphuthumayo sokusukumela phezulu,” kusho u-Allen.
U-Edgar Dymally – Ilungu Lebhodi lenhlangano engenzi nzuzo Abantu Besihlahla - uyavuma. Uthi abantu abaningi abancane bebegxile ekutholeni ukufinyelela okulinganayo ebulungiswa bezenhlalakahle kanye nokunqoba ukucwaswa kwezindlu nokuqashwa kunokulingana kwemvelo.
UDkt. Taylor ugcizelela ukuthi ukwanda kokuhlukahluka kuzosho ukwanda kokugxila ezindabeni nasezinkingeni ezibhekene nabantu bebala elimhlophe namanye amaqembu angamelelwe kahle.
“Kumele ube nezwi lawo wonke umuntu etafuleni, ukuze uqonde ngokugcwele izidingo umphakathi ngamunye onazo,” kuvuma u-Allen.
Abatshali bezihlahla bathi sawubona e-KYCC Industrial District Green ngoFebhuwari 2015.
"Amaqembu amaningi emvelo enza umzamo omkhulu ekusebenzeni emiphakathini ehola kancane kanye nedlanzana, ngoba yilapho ngokuvamile kunezidingo ezinkulu zemvelo," kuqhubeka u-Allen. “Ngicabanga ukuthi ukunqanyulwa kuhambisana nokungaqondi ngokugcwele ukuthi ungaxhumana kanjani nomsebenzi owenzayo nabantu ozama ukubasiza. I-KYCC itshala izihlahla eziningi e-South Los Angeles, umphakathi omkhulu wamaHispanic kanye nama-African-American, umphakathi ohola kancane. Sikhuluma ngezinzuzo zomoya ohlanzekile, ukuthunjwa kwamanzi emvula nokonga amandla, kodwa mhlawumbe into abantu abayikhathalela ngempela ukuthi izihlahla zizosiza kanjani ukwehlisa izinga lesifuba somoya.”
Okwenziwa ngamaqembu amancane, ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi, kungase kwenziwe izinhlangano ezinkulu ukuze kube nomthelela omkhulu nakakhulu.

"Ngicabanga ukuthi ukunqanyulwa kuza ngokungaqondi ngokugcwele ukuthi ungaxhumana kanjani nomsebenzi owenzayo nabantu ozama ukubasiza."

“I-KYCC isebenza nemindeni eminingi esanda kuthuthela kwelinye izwe, futhi lokho kuza nezithiyo eziningi zolimi nokungaqondi isiko elisha. Ngenxa yalokhu siqasha abasebenzi abakwazi ukukhuluma ulimi lwamakhasimende esiwasebenzelayo - abaqonda isiko abaphuma kulo. Lokhu kusivumela ukuthi sigcine izinhlelo zethu zihambisana nemiphakathi esiyisebenzelayo, futhi kusigcina sixhumekile.
“Ngokuvumela umphakathi usitshele ukuthi yini oyidingayo, bese ubasiza ukuthi bahlangabezane naleso sidingo, siyazi ukuthi izinhlelo esizenzayo zinomthelela omuhle kumakhasimende ethu,” kusho u-Allen.
UKWAMUKELWA INDLELA YOKUHLANGANISA
Imicabango yakhe yabiwa nguMary E. Petit, Umsunguli kanye nomqondisi Ophethe we-Incredible Edible Community Garden (IECG), naye ozinze eNingizimu yeCalifornia.
"Ukuhlukahluka kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuqinisekisa amandla nokuphila isikhathi eside kwezinhlangano zezemvelo kuphela kodwa zonke izinhlangano," kusho uPetit.
“Kuqinisekisa ukuthi sihlola izinhlelo zethu ngokusebenzisa i-lens ebanzi. Kusigcina sithembekile. Uma sibheka imvelo, izindawo zemvelo ezinempilo futhi ezilinganiselayo, eziqinile yilezo ezihluke kakhulu.
“Kodwa ukuze kwamuke ukwehlukahlukana namandla okungawanikeza inhlangano, abantu kumele bavuleleke futhi bangachemi, hhayi nje ngamazwi kodwa nangendlela abantu abaphila ngayo,” kuqhuba yena.
U-Eleanor Torres, onguMqondisi Omkhulu we-Incredible Edible Community Garden uthi wayishiya inkundla yezemvelo ngo-2003 ngemuva kokudumala. Ubuye ngo-2013 kanti ngesikhathi ejabulela ukubona “igazi elisha” kulo mbutho, uthi kusenomsebenzi okufanele wenziwe.
“Akukashintshi kakhulu. Kufanele kube noshintsho olukhulu ekuqondeni,” kuqhuba yena. "Ezamahlathi emadolobheni, uzobhekana nabantu bebala."
UTorres, ongumLatina kanye nomdabu waseMelika, wangena emkhakheni ngo-1993 futhi ube nesabelo sakhe sokuba ngumuntu “wokuqala” noma “kuphela” webala esikhundleni sobuholi. Uthi izindaba zokucwasa ngokwebala, ukucwasa ngokobulili kanye nokucwasa ngokwezigaba zisadinga ukusukunyelwa ngaphambi kokuba kube noguquko lwangempela.
Umhlangano webhodi le-TreePeople usingatha abameleli abavela emiphakathini eyahlukene.
UDymally ube yilungu leBhodi le-TreePeople iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili. Unjiniyela wezokwakha, umsebenzi wakhe wosuku unguchwepheshe Omkhulu Wezemvelo weMetropolitan Water District of Southern California (I-MWD). Uthi usezithele phezu kwedlanzana labantu bebala ezikhundleni eziphezulu zobuholi.
“Zikhona, kodwa aziningi,” wabelana.
U-Dymally ujoyine i-TreePeople ngesicelo selinye ilungu leBhodi kuphela elinombala, ongumHispanic. Unxuswe ukuthi akhuthale futhi abambe iqhaza, ikakhulukazi ngoba bebengebaningi abantu bebala elimele. Ukuthi “yilowo nalowo, afinyelele koyedwa,” kusho uDymally, kukhuthazwa uMsunguli noMongameli wenhlangano u-Andy Lipkis, omhlophe.
UDymally uthe angathanda ukubona abenzi benqubomgomo kanye nabenzi bemithetho bemukela imizamo yokwandisa ukuhlukahluka.
"Bangakwazi ukubeka ithoni futhi balethe amandla kulo mzabalazo."
UKUPHILA – NOKUSHIYA – IFA
UDymally ungumshana walowo owayenguLt. Gov. Mervyn Dymally wase-California, ungowokuqala noyedwa umuntu omnyama ukusebenza kuleso sikhundla. U-Dymally omncane ukhomba impumelelo kamalume wakhe ongasekho ekutholeni abantu abambalwa kumaBhodi Amanzi ezwe lonke.
"Ngingathanda ngempela ukubona uMongameli, noma omunye wephrofayili yakhe, mhlawumbe uNkosikazi Wokuqala, esekela lo mzamo," kusho uDymally.
Unkosikazi kaMengameli u-Michelle Obama, wengeza ngokuthi, ube yingqwele kwezokudla kanye nokwakhiwa kwengadi futhi angenza okufanayo ekukhuthazeni isidingo sokuletha abantu abahlukene kanye nemibono etafuleni lezemvelo lesaga.
The "Isimo Sokuhlukahluka Ezinhlanganweni Zemvelo" Umbiko uphikisa ngokuthi udaba ludinga "ukunakwa okuphambili" futhi wenza izincomo "zemizamo enonya" emikhakheni emithathu- ukulandelela nokubeka izinto obala, ukuziphendulela, kanye nezinsiza.
“Izitatimende ezihlukene ezingenalo uhlelo kanye nokuqoqwa kwedatha okuqinile kungamagama nje asephepheni,” ufunda lo mbhalo onamakhasi ayi-187.
“Izinhlangano nososeshini kufanele benze ukuhlolwa kwaminyaka yonke kokuhlukahluka kanye nokufakwa. Ukudalula kufanele kusize ukwabelana ngamasu okubhekana nokuchema okungazi lutho kanye nokulungisa kabusha ukuqashwa ngaphandle kwekilabhu yabangaphakathi abaluhlaza,” kuqhubeka.
Lo mbiko uphinde uphakamise ukuthi izisekelo, ama-NGO kanye nama-ejensi kahulumeni ahlanganise imigomo yokuhlukahluka ekuhlolweni kokusebenza kanye nezindlela zokwenza izibonelelo, ukuthi izinsiza ezengeziwe zabelwe izinhlelo zokuhlukahluka ukuze zisebenze, kanye nokuthi kuhlinzekwe ngezimali ezisimeme ukuze kuxhunywe inethiwekhi ukuze kuncishiswe ukuhlukaniswa futhi kusekelwe abaholi abakhona bemibala.

“Kumele ube nezwi lawo wonke umuntu etafuleni, ukuze uqonde ngokugcwele izidingo umphakathi ngamunye onazo.”

“Anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi yini engenziwa engaletha ngokushesha idlanzana ezindimeni eziningi zobuholi, kodwa ukuletha ukuqwashisa nokufundisa okwengeziwe entsheni yendawo, ukusiza ukukhuthaza isizukulwane esilandelayo sabaholi, kungaba isinyathelo sokuqala esihle,” kusho u-Allen.
“Kufanele kuqale ezingeni lesikole,” kusho uDymally, enanela lo mbono futhi ekhomba imizamo yeTreePeople yokufinyelela.
Izinhlelo zenhlangano zokufundisa ngemvelo zikhuthaza abafundi nothisha besikole samabanga aphansi nesamabanga aphezulu endaweni yase-Los Angeles ukuba “bambe,” bafunde izinzuzo zokukhulisa amahlathi asemadolobheni, futhi babe abanakekeli bemvelo ukuphila kwakho konke.
"Eminyakeni eyi-10, 15, 20, sizobona abanye balabo bantu abasha bejikeleza (inhlangano kanye nenhlangano)," kusho uDymally.
UKUBEKA ISIBONELO
UDymally uthi ukushoda kokuhlukahluka kungase kuchazwe, ngokwengxenye, ngoba nje abekho abantu abaningi abanemibala endaweni yemvelo ukuqala.
"Kungase kuvele izinombolo ezihilelekile," esho.
Kuye kwathiwa lapho intsha encane ibona ochwepheshe “ababukeka njengabo” emkhakheni othile, maningi amathuba okuba ifune ukuba yilokho “lapho isikhulile.” Ukubona odokotela base-Afrika baseMelika kungakhuthaza izingane zase-Afrika zaseMelika ukuthi zicabange ngesikole sezokwelapha. Ukuba nabameli abaqavile beLatino emphakathini kungakhuthaza intsha yaseLatino ukuthi ifunde esikoleni somthetho noma iphishekele eminye imisebenzi yezomthetho. Ukuchayeka kanye nokufinyelela kuyisihluthulelo, kwabelwana ngakho nge-Dymally.
UDymally uthi abantu abaningi abanemibala, ikakhulukazi abantu base-Afrika-baseMelika, kungenzeka bangayibheki inkundla yezemvelo njengento ekhangayo noma enenzuzo yomsebenzi.
Umkhakha wezemvelo “uwubizo” kwabaningi, uthi, futhi ngenxa yalokho, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi abantu bemibala ehlukene abathatha izindima zobuholi babe “abantu abanothando,” abazosiza ukuletha izinsiza kubantu abaningi futhi baqhubekisele phambili ukunyakaza kwamahlathi asemadolobheni aseCalifornia esikhathini esizayo.
