Eli nyathelo alingomzamo nje wokutshintsha - limalunga nokubhiyozela into eyenza iPrince Albert ibe yokhethekileyo kunye nokuqinisekisa ikamva elizinzileyo lokusingqongileyo kunye noqoqosho olusekwe kukhenketho. Izityalo ezihlaselayo ezifana ne-agave yaseMexico, eyaziswa kwinkulungwane eyadlulayo ukulwa nokhukuliseko, ibe yingxaki. Eyaziwa njengengaqhelekanga phantsi koMthetho woLondolozo lweMithombo yezoLimo waseMzantsi Afrika, ii-agaves zifuna amaphepha-mvume okutyalwa - amaphepha-mvume awafane anikwe ngenxa yefuthe lawo kwi-ikholoji. Iingcambu zabo ezishinyeneyo kunye nezityalo ezikhulayo zabantwana ziyawuphazamisa umhlaba, ngelixa ameva azo enzakalisa imfuyo, njengoko kubonakala xa umfama wasekuhlaleni elahlekelwa yigusha ngenxa yosulelo lwebhaktiriya evela kwi-cactus pricks.
Ngokufanayo, i-cacti ephaphathekileyo ecaleni kwe-Die Gang kufutshane nefama ye-blueberry baye babambisa iintaka. Azikho izilo ezizingelayo zendalo ukugcina ezi ntlobo zihlaselayo. Nezityalo zasegadini eziqhelekileyo ezifana ne-Africanas (i-Mexican marigolds) kunye ne-European hollyhocks, ngelixa zintle, ziswele ukulingana kwe-ikholoji ebonelelwa yizityalo zasekhaya, zishiya izinambuzane zethu kunye neentaka ngaphandle kwamaqabane azo endalo.
USue Milton-Dean, umthetheleli othanda izinto eziphilayo eKaroo, uchaza isizathu sokuba oku kubalulekile: “Izilwanyana zethu aziziqondi izityalo ezihlaselayo, azizixhasi izinambuzane okanye iintaka ezigcina indalo ilungelelene.” Ukunqanda oku, uSue uye wazisa umngundo okhethekileyo kwisebe lolawulo lwebhayoloji kwiYunivesithi yaseRhodes ukwenza buthathaka i-cacti ehlaselayo ngokuphelisa amandla ayo - inkqubo enokuthi ithathe ishumi leminyaka kodwa ithembisa iziphumo ezihlala zihleli.
Ngeli xesha, uMasipala ususa aba bahlaseli ngezityalo eziyinzalelwane yasePrince Albert, njengezo zise-e-Centre, ezingaphelelanga nje eKaroo kodwa ezikhethekileyo kwidolophu yethu. Yiba nomfanekiso-ngqondweni uhamba-hamba ePrince Albert egutyungelwe yiRooi Karee, isityalo esihlala siluhlaza esingenameva, silungele ukupholisa intendelezo. Okanye iSoetdoring, umthi okhula ngokukhawuleza onameva amhlophe abethayo, onika umthunzi onamanzi amancinane.
IWorsboom ekwaziyo ukunyamezela imbalela, ivuthulula amagqabi kanye ngonyaka, kunye neBoerboon edlamkileyo, eneentyatyambo ezinomtsalane kwiintaka ezibomvu, lukhetho oluqinileyo oluquka ukomelela kwengingqi yethu. Ezi zityalo azihlali nje ziphila - ziyakhula, zixhasa izilwanyana zasendle zasekuhlaleni kwaye zibonisa ubuhle obukhethekileyo beKaroo kubakhenkethi.
Simema wonke umhlali ukuba azibandakanye nalo mbutho. Guqula igadi yakho ibe yindawo enebhongo yasePrince Albert ngokukhetha izityalo eziyinzalelwane yalapha. Awuyi kugcina amanzi kuphela kwaye uxhase intlobo-ntlobo zezityalo nezilwanyana eziphilayo, kodwa uya kunceda idolophu yethu ukuba igqame njengesibane sobunyani beKaroo.
Masenze iNkosana uAlbert ibe ngumbhiyozo ophilayo welifa lendalo - umthi omnye kwaye utyale ngexesha.
