Iphephandaba lethu lasekuhlaleni lalinomdla kwaye lasinika amabali abhalwe kwiphepha lokuqala malunga nomsasazi ngamnye. Yaba yimpumelelo engaka, eli phephandaba laqhubeka liyixhasa imigudu yethu nyaka ngamnye. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba amalungu oonozakuzaku boXolo baseWest Texas babhale amanqaku simahla ephepha.

Ixesha ngalinye lonyaka liphefumlelwe zizihloko kunye neziganeko zangoku zehlabathi, zesizwe okanye zasekhaya. Kwaye ngexesha ngalinye lonyaka, xa kufanelekile, sasimema uluntu ukuba luvule iinkonzo zomthandazo kwindlu yesikhungu yethu nakwimisitho emibini yonyaka, xa sasinokufikelela kwi-imam yamaSilamsi, sasiba neeseshoni zomthandazo zamaSilamsi esidlangalaleni kwaye sibhiyozele i-Eid.

Lo ibingumyalezo onamandla kubo bonke ababekho kwaye wawubonakalisa imfundiso yoxolelo kuzo zonke izithethe zenkolo.
- Iintetho zoXolo: Ngeli xesha lonyaka sigxile kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo abantu abazibonakalisa ngazo kwaye sibamema ukuba benze "Inkcazo yoXolo." Siqhagamshelene nabafundi, amagcisa, iimvumi, iimbongi, kunye neenkokheli zasekuhlaleni ukwabelana ngentetho yabo yoxolo. Siye sasebenzisana noMbutho wethu weDowntown San Angelo, iThala leeNcwadi lendawo, iASU Poets Society kunye nesebe leOkhestra, imibutho yolutsha yendawo kunye neSan Angelo Fine Arts Museum ukunika amathuba kuluntu ukuba luvakalise uxolo.

Siye saya kwiinkonzo ezininzi zomthandazo kwaye sadibana neenkokheli zomoya ukuze sibuze imibuzo kwaye sifunde ngeeyantlukwano zethu kunye neendawo esivumelana ngazo. Iphephandaba lasekuhlaleni lithumele intatheli yalo ukuba libhale amanqaku kunye neeblogi zemihla ngemihla malunga nohambo.
Ngenxa yokunqongophala kweyantlukwano yenkolo kunye nobuhlanga emaphandleni aseMelika, sabona kubalulekile ukubonelela ngamathuba kuluntu lwethu lwengingqi ukuba lufumane incasa yokuqala, ukuziva kunye namava "omnye" kwihlabathi lethu. Enye yezona ndlela zinzulu endizithathayo kum yayisuka kumfama omdala womqhaphu owathi eneenyembezi emehlweni, “Andikholelwa ukuba nditye isidlo sasemini kwaye ndithandaza nomSilamsi kwaye wayenganxibanga qhiya okanye unkontsho. ephethe umpu.”
