Kukho izizathu ezininzi zokuba abantu beba ngabathinjwa. Kwaye, ngelishwa, akusoloko amayeza enamandla kunamandla emvelo. Nangona kunjalo, ukwenzela ukuba ubuncinci ngandlela-thile benze ubomi beempumputhe zijikelezwe ngabantu abaphilileyo abanolwazi kwaye banolwazi, usuku olutsha luvele kwikhalenda yeeholide zehlabathi, ebizwa ngokuba yiSuku lweSizwe soMgca we-White Cane.
Namhlanje, akubona wonke umntu owaziyo ngemvelaphi yale holide kunye nenjongo yalo. Ngoko ke, unokufunda okungakumbi malunga nale nto kwinqaku lethu.
Nini na uSuku loMhlaba we-White Cane lugubha nini na?
Ehlabathini lanamhlanje, lizele ukunyakaza okungapheliyo kunye neengxabano, ngamanye amaxesha kunzima ukuqonda umntu ongenalo mbono. Ngoko ke, njengabantu bonke, nangaphina ukuphambuka komzimba kunye nokukhubazeka kwempilo, izimpumputhe zineempawu ezikhethekileyo ezahlula kwisihlwele. Ngokomzekelo, izibuko zelanga ezimnyama ezihlala zimbethe, kungakhathaliseki ukuba imozulu kunye nexesha, inja ekhokelayo kunye nomnqamlezo obomvu esifubeni sayo, kwaye, ngokuqinisekileyo, inqabileyo encinane. Okukugqibela "ngamehlo" kumbono okhubazekile. Ngomncedisi walo, umntu ujolise kwiindawo kwaye, ngexesha elifanayo, ubonisa abanye ukuba kukho indoda eyimpumputhe phambi kwabo, abanokufuna uncedo.
Kule ngcamango engabonakaliyo yempumputhe, kwaye imbali yeeholide yoSuku lweSizwe lwe-White Cane ixhunyiwe. Ukuze kube ngokuchanekileyo, iingcambu zayo zibuyela ngo-1921. Emva koko e-UK wayehlala u-James Biggs othile-umntu owayeyimfama kwixesha eliziwayo ngenxa yengozi. Ukufunda ukuzimela ngokuzenzekelayo malunga nomzi, i-Biggs, njengabantu bonke, basebenzisa umdaka omnyama oqhelekileyo.

Ngako oko, ukuze ngandlela-thile ukhange abahamba ngeenyawo kunye nabaqhubi besitalato, uYakobi wambumba umjela kumbala omhlophe obonakalayo. Esi sigqibo saqala ukusebenza, kwaye kungekudala, "umncedisi" onjalo oyimfama waba ngumqondiso, ebonisa isimo sakhe sezentlalo kunye nesimo esikhethekileyo sendlela yokuhamba.
