Esikhathini esidlule, izinja kwakudingeka zigobe ukuze zikhahlele futhi zishaye. Namuhla, inzalo yabo ilele kosofa kanye nokugonwa kwethu. Thina bantu senza okwengeziwe ukuze sibe umngane omkhulu wenja. Kodwa ingabe sesihambe kakhulu? Sibheka umlando emuva.
Ingabe ukhathazekile ngokuthi ukukhathazeka kwakho ngenja yakho kuzoba yinto yomuntu uma uyigqokisa ibhantshi? Noma mhlawumbe uyathimula enkulumweni enjalo, ngokwazi ukuthi uyazi kangcono inja yakho futhi wazi ukuthi yini ejabulisayo ngayo?
Iminyaka eyi-100 Emuva
Yile ndlela imicabango engahamba ngayo nabanikazi bezinja namuhla. Uma, ngakolunye uhlangothi, sihamba amakhulu ambalwa eminyaka emuva esikhathini, abantu abakaze banwaye amakhanda abo ezintweni ezinjalo. Kodwa noma kunjalo, izinja zaziphathwa njengabantu, nakuba kungenjalo ngezindlela ebesingazibona kusukela namuhla. Yayingekho i-Adidas - noma i-Adidog okwamanje.
- Abantu banezilwane ezenzelwe abantu bayo yonke iminyaka, kuwo wonke amasiko. Kodwa umbono wethu ngalokho kokubili abantu nezilwane abayikho usushintshile. Ngamanye amazwi, izindlela zabantu zokwenza izilwane ngaphambi kobuntu zishintsha njalo, kusho isazi-mlando semibono uKarin Dirke, obenesithakazelo endleleni abantu abaye bacabanga ngayo ngezilwane kuwo wonke umlando.
Kushintshe Ukubuka Kwenja
Izingxoxo ezimayelana nokuphatha izinja njengabantu nazo zingalandelelwa emuva emlandweni, nakuba kungenjalo kuze kube manje. U-Karin ufunde izincwadi zezandla ezindala zokuthi izinja kufanele zinakekelwe kanjani, ukuze athole umbono wokuthi umbono wenja ushintshe kanjani ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Futhi uthole amazwi acishe abe yikhulu eminyaka ukuthi inja akufanele iphathwe njengomuntu.
- Kakade ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, abantu babevame ukuxwayiswa ukuthi bangaphenduli inja ibe enye into ngaphandle kwalokho eyayiyikho, kusho uKarin.
Kodwa ukukhathazeka akuzange kusakazwe ngenxa yenja kuphela. Ongoti bezinja abaningana bathi inja iyisidalwa esizicabangelayo esingenandaba nabantu. Ngakho-ke, umnikazi wezinja owayephatha inja yakhe njengomuntu, njengomuntu olingana naye, wayengeke akwazi ukuyilawula.
Inja Njengomngane
Sekuyizinkulungwane zeminyaka izinja zisiza abantu ekuzingeleni, ukwelusa izimvu, ukuzigcina zihlanzekile futhi ziqaphile. Kodwa kule minyaka eyikhulu edlule, thina bantu siye sazuza inja njengomngane.
Kodwa inhloso yokuba nenja nayo yayihluke ngokuphelele ngaleso sikhathi. Iqiniso lokuthi amabhukwana anikeza amacebiso endlela yokulawula inja, kunokuba abe umngane wayo, yiqiniso futhi ngenxa yokuthi sasiphila ukuphila okuhlukile kunanamuhla.
- Izincwadi zanikeza amathiphu okuthi ungayenza kanjani inja ukuba yenze imisebenzi ekhethekile, kusho uKarin.
City Racks in Sweden
Abazingeli babehlezi nesibhamu esandleni esisodwa kanye nebhukwana ngesinye, ngaphambi kokuthatha uPuck baye ehlathini ukuze bahlole futhi bahogele i-moose.
Uma sivakashela kwamanye amazwe namuhla, singashaqeka ngendlela eziphathwa ngayo izinja zasemgwaqweni ezinonya. Kodwa ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi iminonjana yobudlelwane obungenabungane babantu nenja ingalandelelwa kude nesikhathi lapha futhi. Emakhulwini eminyaka edlule, izakhamuzi zaseSweden zakhahlela "ama-racks ayikhulu" kanye "nama-racks asemaphandleni", ukuze bafunde ukwazi i-hut.
Ngisho nasekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, izinja eziningi zaseSweden zazilala ezindlini ezibandayo, noma ngisho nasemigwaqweni. Ukushaya inja engazange yenze njengoba eyalelwe umnikazi wayo kwakungamangalisi.
Ngenhlanhla, le ndlela yokuphatha izinja iye yancipha kancane. Kuyaphawuleka uma sibhekisa amehlo ethu ezingxoxweni zanamuhla mayelana nokwenza abantu. Uma sikhuluma namuhla ngokungaphathi inja okomuntu, kungenxa yenja, hhayi eyethu.
- Ngokuvamile kuthiwa kulungile ukumboza inja, inqobo nje uma kwenziwa ngoba inja ibanda kunokuba uhlobanise ingubo nento ethokomele, kusho uKarin.
Inja, Ilungu Lomndeni
Cishe bonke ochwepheshe bezinja banamuhla bacabanga ukuthi inja iyamkhathalela umnikazi wayo wenja. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umbono womnikazi wezinja ushintshile kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20. Manje kulindeleke ukuthi uphendule ukukhathazeka kwenja. Ubuhlobo kufanele busekelwe ebunganeni bobabili. Uma inja bekulindeleke ukuthi izijwayeze nathi, kuhluke kancane namuhla.
– Amanuwali amasha agcizelela njalo ukuzivumelanisa nendlela yenja eyiyo, kusho uKarin.
Umbono omusha wenja uhlobene nokuthi indawo yayo emphakathini ishintshile. Sekuyizinkulungwane zeminyaka izinja zisiza abantu ukuba bazingele, beluse izimvu, bahlale behlanzekile futhi baqaphe amakhaya abo. Kodwa kule minyaka eyikhulu edlule, bayanda abantu abaye baba nesikhathi nemali ukuze bathole inja njengomngane. Inja yamukelwe ku-villa kanye neVolvo njengelungu lomndeni elilinganayo. Lokhu kuye kwaphawulwa eshalofini lezinja.
- Ngawo-1970, izincwadi zezandla ezengeziwe zaqala ukuphendukela kubantu ababenezinja njengezilwane ezifuywayo, kusho uKarin.
Ukwenyuka Kwesibopho Sabanikazi Bezinja
Umqeqeshi wezinja u-Eric Sandstedt wabhala kusukela ngo-1932 Mina nenja yami: Ukunakekelwa kwenja engumngane kanye nokugqoka. Kodwa kwakuzothatha iminyaka engu-40 ngaphambi kokuba lolu hlobo lugqabuke ngempela, bese luqhuma ngawo-1990. Amamanuwali amasha aqhubekile nokukleliswa emashalofini esitolo sezincwadi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi.
Kodwa manje akuseyona nje indaba yokuba inkampani, uthando, nokunakekela.
- Namuhla kunomthwalo wemfanelo owandayo wabanikazi bezinja ukuba banakekele, bagqugquzele futhi benze izinto ndawonye nezinja zabo, kusho uKarin.
Namuhla sichitha isikhathi nezinja ngezindlela zomlando ezintsha nezindala. Omunye angase adlale nenja ngokuhamba ngezinyawo ezine futhi ehogela, omunye abuyise, okwesithathu egona inja kusofa. Bobathathu cishe bahlanganiswe yiqiniso lokuthi baye bacabanga ngalokho okwenza ukuphila kwenja kube nenjongo.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umthwalo wemfanelo owengeziwe wabanikazi bezinja ngempilo yenja kuye kwasho ukuthi bahlola izindlela zomunye nomunye zokuhlala nenja ngezindlela ezintsha. Imibuzo iphakanyiswe futhi kwaxoxwa ngayo. Singawutholaphi, ngenxa yenja, umngcele phakathi kokunakekela kanye nokwenza ubuntu, phakathi kwenja nomuntu?
Abantu abaningi kunanini ngaphambili bomele ulwazi ngezindaba ezinjalo.
- Ngicabanga ukuthi asikakawuboni umvuthwandaba wenani lezincwadi zezinja, kusho uKarin.
Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo njengoba sizuza ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nomngane wethu omkhulu, kuba nzima kwabaningi ukuba bazise futhi bahlaziye. Umnikazi wenja eyedwa angakwazi kanjani ukuthi alalele bani kuyilapho abantu abaningi becabanga ngendlela ehlukile?
U-Karin ukholelwa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bunokuningi okumele sikufundise. Kodwa ngekusasa, uzwa ukukhathazeka okuthile ukuthi imfundiso yokuphila nenja ishiywe ngokuphelele ezandleni zochwepheshe. Uma sisebenzisa amandla amaningi kakhulu silandela amathrendi akamuva, sizifaka engozini yokukhohlwa inja ngokwayo.
Enye indlela yokwazi inja yakho kangcono nakakhulu kungaba ukuhlangana nabanye abanenja futhi nishintshisane ngolwazi.
- Ngithemba ukuthi abantu abaningi nakakhulu bahileleka ngokuzithandela ezinhlanganweni zezinja ukuze abantu abanesithakazelo ezinja babe nethuba lokuhlangana, kusho uKarin Dirke.
