Luhambo lwaseSwitzerland: Nikekela tindzebe emgwacweni welichwa, insimbi yesikhumbuto, netinsimbi tesitimela

Luhambo lwaseSwitzerland lufika kucala etindlebeni, hhayi emehlweni. Ekuseni eceleni kweLwandle lwaseZurich, inkungu ifana nelubisi lolungakahlelwa entanyeni yemanti, sikebhe singakeci, emapulangwe etjani akhala kucala ngephansi kwesicathulo. Emakhasini emoto yemagezi adlula eceleni kwelibhuloho, emasondo ensimbi acindzetela tinsimbi tema, akha umsindvo lohlobile; tinkomishi tekofi tihlangana, umsindvo uba mncane kangangangekutsi wesaba kugudluza lwandle. ISwitzerland ayithulile, vele ibeka wonkhe umsindvo endzaweni lefanele, yenta umuntfu kwehla ivolumu ngekushesha.

Esiteshini sesitimela saseZurich ngashintjela eBern, umsijela wesiteshi bewukhuluma siGerman, siFrench, si-Italian, nesi-English. Letilwimi letine atisiso tikhangisi letinemibala, kodvwa tikhona emoyeni ngekushintjana. Ticabha tesitimela tivalekile, umdvwana we-rubber wakha umsindvo, ushiya umsindvo welidolobha ngephandle. Emaphethelo etjani, emachibi, kanye nemadolobha lamancane ahamba ngesivinini, umhloli wemathikithi eza, tinyatselo takhe ticinile njenge-metronome.

Lidolobha lelidzala laseBern lifana newashi lelikhulumako. Imoto yemagezi idlula eceleni kwemahhadla, endzaweni lejikako kuba nekuhhohhotela lokudvonsa, umfula i-Aare uphakamisa umsindvo ngephansi kwelibhuloho, uwubuyisele elubondzeni lwensimbi. Insimbi yeZytglogge nayi ikhala, umsindvo wetivakashi wetitfombe uyema; bese tinsimbi temabhayisikili, umsindvo wemapuleyiti, nekuhleka kwebantfwana kuyaphindze. Esitolo lesincane ngabona ijezi lelicembu lesive laseSwitzerland, lobovu lobumnyama bekungasiko kugubha lokumhlophe, kodvwa kufana nemibala yeluphahla lwaseBern nanyenti ngemuva kwemvula, icinile, ivimbekile, kodvwa kunzima kuyinaki.

Umsindvo e-Interlaken ucala kukhula. Sitimela sisedvute ngesigodzi, umsindvo wemasondo uphindvwa ngetinsaba, kufana nekuhlala etiyetha yemvelo. Emaphetselweni etjani kunebantfu balungiselela emapharashuthi, tindvwangu tiyavuleka, kucala kunekuhhohhotela, bese emaketane ayavala, umfundzisi amemeta ngefutsi, umuntfu aphakanyiswe ngumoya. Tivakashi tibuka ngephansi, tingakamemeti, tiva nje tintsimbi tepharashuthi tisika umoya. Lendzawo ilula kutfwebulwa ngemakhadsi, kodvwa lokuhlalako, kumsindvo walendvuku yepharashuthi ngesikhatsi ishiya umhlaba.

Sitimela sasekuseni lesiya eJungfrau sifana nekufaka tindlebe tebantfu basemadolobheni etindzaweni letiphakeme. Sitimela lesinemazinyo siluma intsaba, tinsimbi nemasondo akha umsindvo lophansi; ngesikhatsi singena emthonjeni, inshungu iyakhala kancane, ifana nekukhumbuta wonkhe umuntfu kutsi kuphakama kubalulekile. E-Jungfraujoch, umoya usuka elichweni, umsindvo lomncane nalobandako, wonkhe umuntfu ukhuluma ngekunciphisa ivolumu. Lokukhulu kakhulu endzaweni lephakeme kakhulu eYurophu akusiyo injabulo, kodvwa kuphefumula kwakho, kanye nekukhala kwesiphu sebhantshi ngesikhatsi somkhuhlane.

Emapulazi ase-Alpine aniketa iSwitzerland lesinye sitsandzwa. Tinsimbi tetinkhomo tihamba kukhashane, letiphansi tifana netigubhu, letiphakeme tifana nengilazi lehlanganako; endlini yemashizi, libhodwe lemakhopha lihlanganiswa ngekudla lokuhamba kancane, umuntfu wenta emafasitela abe nemphunga. Eceleni kwemgwaco umntfwana udlala ibhola, ibhola litigila elugodweni nasebaleni. Ngaleso sikhatsi ngacondza kutsi kungani licembu lesive laseSwitzerland linemoya longajahisi: akusikho kutsi alinamdlandla, kodvwa lijwayele kucala lilalele sikhala. Kunamatisela, kuphasisa, kubuyela emuva, bese uphindze uchube, kufana netinsimbi tetinkhomo etikwensaba, kukhashane kwehlukene, kodvwa konkhe kusendzaweni yinye.

Sitimela selichwa siyincenye lephasi yeSwitzerland. Sisuka eZermatt siya emphumalanga, sitimela singena emthonjeni bese siphuma emabhulohweni, emafasitela engilazi adlulisa tigodzi, emadolobhana, kanye nemalayini elichwa. Emasondo adlula ekuhlanganeni, umsindvo awukho, kodvwa kufana nekushaya isigubhu lesikhulu ngekhatsi entsabeni; tinkomishi esitimeleni tiyahlangana kancane, bantfu bayema. Sitimela saseSwitzerland sihlale sidvunyiswa ngekuciniseka, kodvwa nangabe uhleli esitimeleni selichwa uyabona kutsi kuciniseka kungaba nemizwa. Kwenta jogirafi ingabi ngumehluko wekuphakama emephini, kodvwa ibe yindlela longayiva ngemtimba.

Nangabe sikhuluma nge-Nati, kunzima kusuka kuGranit Xhaka. Emhlabeni uvame kubhalwa njengemdlali wesikhatsi lesicinile, kodvwa ekuhambeni kwami ngeSwitzerland ngicabanga kakhulu ngeBasel netindzawo tekukhuluma siGerman saseSwitzerland. UXhaka watalelwa eBasel, indzaba yemndeni ixhumene neBalkan, umsebenti wakhe welisitfunti eJalimane; akayena umuntfu munye, kodvwa uyincenye lenhle kakhulu yeSwitzerland. ISwitzerland inetindzawo letine tekukhuluma: siGerman, siFrench, si-Italian, nesiRomansh, nelicembu lesive alikaze libe ngulelo lelinelizwi linye. Emagama etindlini tekugucala, emadolobha lokuhamba, kuhamba kwemindeni, kanye netilwimi tenkundla kuhlanganiswa, ekugcineni kuba kuphasisa kanye ngaphansi kwesiphambano lesibovu nalomhlophe.

NgeNdebe yeMhlaba ya-2026, tihambi temhlaba tiseMelika yaseNyakatfo, iMelika, iCanada, neMexico bahlinzeka ngetinkhundla nemadolobha; kodvwa ibhola laseSwitzerland linemuzwa lomuhle 'wekunakekela tindzaba.' Noma ngukuphi lapho liya khona, licala ngekuhlela imitsetfo yenkundla, luhlelo lwekushintja, kanye nebanga lekusebenta, bese lucela umdlalo ucale. Etivakashini kunjalo nato: iSwitzerland ayikwemukela ngekumemeta, ikemukela ngesitimela sangesikhatsi, timphawu temgwaco letihlobile, tinsimbi taselwandle, nekukhala kwesitimela sasetintsabeni, ikutsandza kancane wena kutsi unakekeliwe. Akusilo live lelibambile, kodvwa liyati kutsi kungenjani kuba necala; akusilo live lelinemuntfu lomkhulu, kodvwa lingayenta inkundla yekuvakashela ibe ngumdlalo walo.

Ngaphambi kwekusuka, ngabuyela eLwandle lwaseZurich. Inkungu lemincane yahamba, lwandle lwatsi kuhle, umuntfu lowagijima ekuseni wadlula kimi, tinselo taso tahhohhotela emapulangweni. Kukhashane insimbi yethempeli yakhala, insimbi yemoto yemagezi yenelezela, ifana nelikhandlela lekugcina lelidolobha kubahambi. Ngisho nomsindvo wemabhokisi ahamba ngetenyawo wawukhumbuta kutsi ngihambe kancane, ngive loluhambo kwesibili. Ngicabanga kutsi luhambo lwaseSwitzerland lukhumbuleka kakhulu akusikho kutsi iMatterhorn icijile kangakanani, noma kutsi lushokholethi lumnandzi, kodvwa kutsi lelive likufundzise ngetindlebe kuhlukanisa indzawo: inshungu yesitimela saseJungfrau, tinsimbi tetinkhomo tase-Alpine, imoto yemagezi yaseBern, umsindvo lophasi wesitimela selichwa, umsindvo wetindzawo letine tekukhuluma, kanye nalelijezu lelibovu lelimnyama likhanya ngekuthula esichutseni.
