Okangala kokOshaantu; omunyoli: Neshani Andreas.

Embo ndika olyo onovela ompe mOnamibia ndyoka tali popi kombinga yomukunda gu li monooli yoshilongo. Oshinyolwa shika otashi popi kombinga yokukalamwenyo moma gumbo, pomahala gomalandithilo, omalugo, omapya, ekwatathano lyuukuume pokati kaakiintu, nokwiidhidhimika komukiintu gumwe ngoka a kala nokuhepekwa komulume uule woomvula odhindji. Jane Katjavivi ota hokolola embo ndika.

Neshani Andreas okwiile mositola yandje yomambo oomvula mbali dha piti po, a humbata ekutu endjimbi. Mekutu muka omwali oshinyolwa she shembo ndika lya nyanyangidhwa omasiku gapiti po. The Purple Violet of Oshaantu ano Okangala kokOshaantu. Ngoka ogo ga ii omathimbo omadhimbulithi omawanawa mokukalamwenyo kwandje moshinyanyangidho, molwaashoka konima owala sho nda lesha oshinyolwa shika onde shi tseya kutya otashi ka kala oshinyolwa tashi shambula aaleshi, notashi ka kala esimano enene kependulepo lyuunamambo moNamibia, oshoka embo ndika olya guma iinima mbyoka yasimana monkalamwenyo yaakiintu moshigwana shaNamibia.

Mupya omunene kungame, konima owala sho nda taamba oshinyolwa sha Andreas olyo woo lya Ii ethimbo nda hulitha po iilongo yokunyanyangidha. Neshani ma ndi mu etha owala ngaaka, oshinyolwa shika onde shi gandja momake gaanyanyangidhi ya tseyika nawa yoHeinemann yedhina African Writers Series, nokonima yomvula yimwe oshinyolwa shika osha nyanyangidhwa nokuli. Embo ndika olya pitithwa muNovomba gwomumvo gwa ziko, notali landwa shikumitha.

Embo ndika Okangala kokOshaantu olyo lyotango moNamibia okunyanyangidhwa kehangano ndika lyo African Writers Series. Embo ekwao ndyoka lya nyanyangidhilwe kehangano ndika olyo Battlefront Namibia, ha novela ihe okombinga yondjokonona ya nakusa John ya Otto opamwe nomusamane Toivo ya Toivo. Membo muka Ya Toivo ota hokolola onkalamwenyo yomekondjelomanguluko, noshipotha shawo shuukulo moPretoria momumvo 1968, nomuleli a simana mondjokonona yaNamibia.

Embo lya Ya Oto otali popi kombinga yonkalamwenyo ye mekondjelomanguluko, nosho wo omambo ogendji gashangwa, kutya nee okombinga yiiiningwapo nenge iitotwahokololo, otali tsikile nokupopya kombinga yiiningwanima yopethimbo lyuukoloni nekondjelomanguluko lya kwatelamo ontseyo yonkalamwenyo okuya muupongekwa nokugalukila kegumbo ngaashi sha shangwa miinyolwa ya Ellen Namhila membo lye lyo - The Price of Freedom, naamboka ya thigala moshilongo nokuhepekwa kaakwiita yepangelo lya Suid Afrika, ngaashi membo lya Kaleni Hiyalwa membo lye lyo-Meekulu's Children.

Embo ndika lyOngala yokOshaantu ina li guma iningwanima mbika nande kashona. Embo ndika lyolyene, otali popi kombinga yokukalamwenyo kwaantu, ehala, naanyandi yomOshaantu ngaashi shili momadhiladhilo gomunyoli. Embo ndika ma li kwatela mo iinima yopapolotika. Ovenduka oya talika ko ongo kehala hoka aalumentu baa kanene molukongo iwawo lwiilonga. Onkalamwenyo mokambo muka oyo onkalo yomo-mukunda, nuuwanawa wembo ndika osho tali yamba-paleka okukalamwenyo kwomomikunda - unene tuu kwaamboka yaa na otseyo yonkalamwenyo yomomikunda.

Embo ndika olya tetekele netyapulo lyeteyo: Olyo ethimbo ndyoka Lyomumvo natango. Moka omukunda gwetu Oshaantu gwoopala nogwa ziza apehe, ito mana okutala ... Omvula oya loko nawa nuumvo notwa uvanekelwa eloolo ... Onda gumu omitse dhiilya nenyanyu tandi panduta Nampongo molwuu wanawa we.

Omapya, omathimbo guunshitwe, omukunda niilonga yaakiintu olyo oshikalimo shembo adika, ekota lyehokolob olyo uukuume pokati kaakiintu yaali - Ali na Kauna nonkalo yawo pokati kaalume yawo ndjoka yayoolokathana. Ali oku na omulume gwe ngoka ha longo kokule lela noheya okuya talelapo omalupita, omulumentu gwomwenyo omwaanawa noha yambidhidha aanegumbo lye ngele e ya po. Kauna oku na omulume gwe ngoka hemu hepeke unene nokumudhengagula ethimbo alihe, nokukala nokuendaenda pokati kegumbo lye nokokagumbo kokafuko ke.

Oshipalanyolo shokambo haka osha ziilila kongala ombwaanawa ndjoka hayi mene mooha dhiiti yegumbo momukunda. Kauna ye mwene okuna uuwanawa wa fa wongala ndjika tai popiwa ihe uuwanawa we owa yonwa komulume molwomadhengo. Ethimbo limwe Kauna okwa yile kooyina konima sho a ii a dhengwa shinyanyalitha opo ando a ka mone po ombepo yimwe, he okwe mu kumagidha opo a ninge etokolo a hogolole pokati kondjokana ndjika yomahepeko nonkalamwenyo ye mwene.

"Omwandje", he osho e mu lombwete "ino tegelela Li toke. Nyoko andi mu uviteko kutya okwa hala andjokana yoye yi lange. ihe ngame onda mona aakiintu oyendji ya kanithala mo aamwenyo dhawo mashinima shika hakutiwa ondjokana, nenge ya ninga iinima mbyaka itoa hala aku yi uva. Inandi hala uye siga oponkantu ndjoka ... Ninga shoka she ku apateta."

Ethimbo ndjoka, Kauna okwa shuna komulume, ihe etokolo lye olye ke ya konima.

Oonovela oanshona dhowala hadhi tala kombinga yonkalamwenyo yamomukunda noku eta onkalo ndjoka nawa ngaashi shill membo ndika. Ope na oonovela dhimwe dha shangwa kaAfrika, unene miilongo ngaashi Nigeria na Kenya, ndhoka tadhi ndjandjukununa onkalo yomomukunda. Qonovela adhihe ndhika otadhi hokolola owala kombinga yaamati.

Onovela ya Andreas oyilwe, oshoka otai hokolola kombinga yaakintu yomomikunda, haamati, aakiintu aayolithi, aatungi naanankondo, aanarnagano nando hamagano gomosikola. Aakiintu yuuvite ko onkalo yopamuthigululwakalo nonkalo yopashinanena, nehalo lyokukaleka po uuntu wawo nehalo lyokuninga omatokolo gawo yene.

Andreas membo ndika ita popi kombinga yiihole momikunda, ihe ota ulike onkalo yomomikunda niiningwanima yamo yiihwapo. Omaipumo mumwe, omathigathano unene tuu uukumwe pokati kaakiintu nuukuume wawo. Membo muka omuna aakiintu mboka taa thindile ooyakwao konkudhi nokulundilathana omaulodhi. Iilonga mbyoka yomomapya tai pula oonkondo, niipogolo ayihe mbyo hayi taalele oomeme muuyuni auhe, noonkambaladha dhawo dhakugwanitha po iilonga yawo yesiku kehe, ngaashi iilonga yomomapya, momagumbo okusila sila aakwanezimo lyawo oshipwiyu, aanona, aakulupe nokukaleka po ekwatathana ewanawa lyokwakola pokati kawo naalume yawo.

Pethimbo limwe, aakiintu yomomukunda Oshaantu oya li ya ningile omukulukadhi Kauna okakungungu oku mu kwathela niilonga ye manga omvula ina yi tameka okuloka. Omukulukadhi All okwe ya longekidhile okulya nokuyahangela omalovu.

Shaampa itatu imbi, nena amatemo ago haga imbi ka. Otwa etha aondjirnba dhamatemo dhi uvikeko muule nadha yela.

'Otwiimbi aondjimbo tadhi pendula ookulululwa yetu. Gumwe gwomaakiintu okwiithana, tse tatu itaale. Otwe ya ithana ...'

'Pendukeni mu tu tale.'

'Pendukeni mu tale nkene amiganga dhetu dha petama.'

'Eeno pendukeni...'

'Eeno pendukeni ...'

'Eeno pendukeni...'

'Pendukeni mu tale nkene tatu longo noonkondo'

'Eeno pendukeni ...'

'Pendukeni mu ye mu lange pamwe naatekuLu yeni'

'Pendukeni mu tu yambeke.'

'Eeno pendukeni...'

...Aakiintu mbaka oya Li yu uviteko ankaLo ya Kauna. Opwali ombepo ombwaanawa pakati kawo, ombepa yuumwainathana. Esiku lyakakungungu, aambepo aambwinayi nadhuutandwe adha Li dha dhimbiwa. Otwa tula uukuni kumwe ongaamwayinathana tu na elalakana timwe.

Mendjandjukununo lya Andreasa alihe kombinga yiilonga ngaashi, yomegumbo, momapya, komahala gomalandithilo, nomathiminiko ogeadji ngoka hage ya taalele. Mwaihe mbika Neshani ota gandja esimano kiilonga yaakiintu. Ihe uumwainathana owa teka pa molwoonkondo dhaaleli momukunda adhoka dhili ombinga yimwe. Aalumentu yaakuluntu mboka ya zile pa oya galuka, noya tokola kombinga yaashoka shina okuningwa pa kombinga ya Kauna noyana konima sho omulume a si eso lyoombaadhilila.

Opwa kala omalundilo gokutya Kauna oye a logo nenge a li omulume. Aakwao yomulume aye ya okulila oosa ihe moosa moka oye li ma taa kondjele omauthigwa. Kehulila Kauna akwa ningi etokola lye. Okwa ningi etokalo ndjaka lya tilitha aakwao koombinga adhihe, kutya nee okombinga yaakwao yamulume nenge okombinga yaakwao yemwene kutya ye ke na we esiku iidhimbike uuwinayi womulume. Sho a ti ita pu ka kala we ewi lyomuselekadhi, no itiidhimbike kutya ye ke na ondjuulukwe namulume ashaka kehe gumwe maalilisa aye shishi kutya mondjakana yawo kamwa li ambili.

Ongo omuselekadhi Kauna ke na uuthemba wokuthigulula pa egumbo nenge empya ndjaka a kala nakulanga noonkondo dhe. Oshipwe sha li pa kambinga yaakwaa yamulume, omalwaashoka Kauna akwa tindi okulila amulume. Kauna noyana oya tidhwa ma mamukunda. Ihe nando ongaaka okwa thigipa amukundanguka nonoonkondo nonomukumo:

'...lno mona ashindji natanga. Ou shi tuu kutya amahangu ohaga ningi ngiini ngele iimuna ya gwayele mepya, iilya ahayi mona oankondo eta yi tutuma nawa ya fa inaayi Lika nande atuu,' osho a ti.

Embo lya Neshani alya hakiwa kaaleshi ayendji maNamibia nopandje yashilongo. Muule awala woomwedhi ndatu opwa Iandwa nale omambo amathele gatatu.
