I-MI(SA), yenze umboniso kwiWoordfees 2019, ingumboniso okhuthazayo wethiyetha. Ingumculo oqulathe imas entlandluntathu: iMissa Luba (Imas yaseLatini imiselwe kwiintlobo ezintathu zemiculo ezisuka eDemocratic Republic of Congo), iMisa Criolla (iyenye yeemasi zokuqala ezingeyiyo eyasiLatini) kunye neMI(SA) ngokwayo, imas yoMzantsi Afrika entsha ebhalwe yimbhongi yeAfrikansi uAntjie Krog yaze yaguqulelwa kumculo nguAntoni Schonken. Lo mboniso ubandakanya amalungu ahlukeneyo weOpera yaseKapa, abadanisi abathandathu, iikhoriyografi ezimbini kunye noAmanda Strydom.
Kodwa oku ayikuko okuphawula le mveliso njengekhethekileyo okanye ebalulekileyo. Kananjalo, ukusetyenziswa koLwimi lweZandla loMzantsi Afrika (i-SASL) kunye nokubandakanywa kweetoliki ezimbini ze-SASL eqongeni ngelixa lemas yobungcisa yehlabathi, kunentsingiselo, kodwa akuchazi nto.
Yintoni eyenza le mveliso ibe yeyodwa, kukuba kokokuqala kubandakanywa i-SASL kunye neetoliki ze-SASL ekusekweni komdlalo wethiyetha ukusukela kusuku lokuqala lokuziqeqesha. (Ukunika oku umxholo: i-SASL njengolwimi lwasekhaya yaqukwa kwiimviwo zematriki okokuqala ngqa ngo-2018.) “Ukusetyenziswa kwe-SASL nendlela eyahlanganiswa ngayo kule mveliso kwasekuqaleni kwayo kokokuqala eKapa,” utsho uMarsanne Neethling.
NgokukaMarsanne, oyitoliki yeZiko leeLwimi onamava amakhulu okutolikela iZithulu kwiimeko ezininzi ezohlukeneyo – kuquka amagumbi okufundisela neethiyetha – ukusilela kokuvezwa kwimisitho efana nale kuthetha ukuba abantu abaninzi abaziZithulu bazingca bengazingci ngenkcubeko okanye nge-SASL yabo. Uyakuvuma ukuba ukuthatha kwakhe inxaxheba kwiMI(SA) “kunento yokwenza nokwazis’ uluntu”.
Kodwa ukufundisa abadlali i-SASL baze bayisebenzise ngelixa becula, kunye nokuphuhlisa imiqondiso emininzi yezimbo zokubonga, kwenzeka izinto zibentathu. Okokuqala, iindawo eziphambili zenkcubeko zenziwa zifikeleleke kuluntu oluziZithulu. Okwesibini, i-SASL iphuculwa ngendlela enye naleyo kwandiswa ngayo naluphi na ulwimi yimibongo. Okwesithathu, ngesiquphe abona babukeli baphambili baziswa nge-SASL kweyona ndawo yenkcubeko ephezulu, nto leyo eyandisa ukwaziswa kwe-SASL kunye noluntu oluziZithuli. Ukuba ungathanda ukwabelana ngokubukela le miboniso, i-MI(SA) iyaboniswa kuMnyadala iSuidooster Festival kwinyanga kaTshazimpuzi.
Iitoliki ezisuka kwiZiko leeLwimi zazikhona kwiingxoxo zemicimbi etshisayo ngexesha leWoordfees yamva nje. Ukuba ungathanda ukuqinisekisa ukuba ziyaviwa zonke izimvo zabantu nakweyiphi na intlanganiso, iingxoxo okanye kuhlobo lweenkqubo oziququzelelelayo, qhagamshela uNanette van den Berg ukuze ufumane iingcali zeetoliki eziqeqeshiweyo, nezinamva.
