Namuhla ngizokutshela ngohambo olubalulekile eSri Lanka, i- Isihlalo sikaLipton, iphuzu lapho uSir Thomas Lipton alawula khona wonke amasimu akhe etiye futhi wazithumela emhlabeni wonke. ISri Lanka ingelinye lamazwe ahamba phambili ekukhiqizeni nasekuthumeleni itiye lazo zonke izinhlobo.
Njengoba ukwazile ukuthola ngempela, lawa yi Amasimu enkampani iLipton eCeylon, omunye wemikhiqizo yetiye ebaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni. Amanye amasimu atholakala eNdiya, e-Indonesia naseKenya.
Izifundo zisezintabeni eziseduze nedolobha laseHaputale, maphakathi nezwe, futhi kuyifasitela elihle lemvelo lokucabanga ngamathafa aseningizimu, maphakathi nasempumalanga yeCeylon anikezwe ukuphakama kwawo cishe ngamamitha ayi-2000.
Ungafika kanjani emasimini etiye nesihlalo sikaLipton?
Ukufika eHaputale ngincoma hamba ngesitimela, kungaba kusuka enhlokodolobha iColombo noma eKandy noma e-Ella. Amanethiwekhi wesitimela aseSri Lanka abhekwa njengamanye amahle kakhulu emhlabeni. Yizitimela ezindala ezizuzwe njengekholoni lamaNgisi, futhi yize zijikeleza ngejubane elincane, zifinyelela ezindaweni ezibaluleke kakhulu ezweni. Umugqa osuka e-Ella uye eHaputale naseKandy ugijima ezindaweni ezihlukile. Ngiyagcizelela, iya eHaputale ngesitimela, kufanelekile.
Ukufika endaweni yokulima kusuka eHaputale okulula kakhulu kukhona nge-tuk-tuk (cishe i-10 km nentengo okuxoxiswana ngayo). Ngalolu hlobo lwemoto ungahamba wonke amaphuzu eLipton ngaphandle kwenkinga. Kuzoba yindaba yokuxoxisana nomzila kanye nenani nomshayeli, uzokwazi ukukulinda ekuvakasheni ngakunye.
Kukhona nenketho yokufika ngezithuthi zomphakathi eziya efektri futhi uma sekukhona ushintshele kuTuk-Tuk ukwenza uhambo olusele.
Umgwaqo okhuphukelayo mncane futhi awunakekelwa kahle. Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu abafuna ukuhambela amasimu etiye ngezimoto zabo noma eziqashisayo bazokwazi ukufika efektri kuphela.
Isihlalo sikaLipton siphezu kwentaba kodwa ngenhlanhla iphakanyisiwe lapho. Ukuhamba ngesibindi kusuka efektri kuya endaweni ephakeme kakhulu yentaba. Mina ngokwami angikukhuthazi uma libalele kakhulu, ngoba luhambo olude impela.
Yini okufanele uyenze nokuthi yini ongayibona eLipton?
Impendulo ilula amasimu etiye. Konke esikubonayo kuhlobene netiyi futhi wonke amadolobha namadolobha asesifundeni esiphakathi aphila kakhulu ngetiye (nezokuvakasha).
Ngincoma ukuthi uthathe uhambo oluphelele losuku lonke lapho ulapho:
- Hamba ne-tuk-tuk usuka eHaputale uye esiqongweni sentaba, i- Isihlalo sikaLipton bese uthatha indawo enhle eluhlaza kanye nabantu babaqoqi bezitshalo. Kanye phezulu, isimo sezulu nenkungu kuvumela, ungabona okuningi kwesiqhingi saseSri Lanka. Imibono ifana nenye isiqongo esibalulekile saseCeylon, i-Adam's Peak, enye yezindawo ezikhangayo ezweni laseNdiya. Kuleli qophelo kukhona nebha encane lapho kusobala ukuthi ungathola itiye leLipton futhi ujabulele ukubukwa.
- Ngemuva kwalokho ngangiye ngehlele embonini yaseLipton, maphakathi lapho. Ngiyethemba ukuthi uyabona asinda kangakanani amaqabunga etiye abaphathe abaqoqi. Futhi yebo, ngikusho ngokwesifazane ngoba bonke bangabesifazane. Ngokwalokho abasitshele khona, yingoba abesifazane banekhambi elingcono lapho beqoqa amaqabunga kunabesilisa.
- Vakashela i- Ifektri yeLipton. Noma ngabe iyiphi inkampani oya kuyo, bazokuchazela inqubo yokwakha itiye uqobo, kusuka ekuvuneni emasimini, ngesihlungi seqabunga, ukucubungula ngomshini ngamunye ekugcineni ukuthekelisa nokuthengisa. Ngaso sonke isikhathi bazophikelela ekutheni abasebenzi banezimo ezinhle zokusebenza nokuthi konke kusekelwe ekupheleleni nasekunakekelweni kwabasebenzi namakhasimende. Mina ngokwami bekumele nginyukele efemini kabili ngoba ngosuku lokuqala kube nesiteleka sabasebenzi. Into eyodwa okufanele uyikhumbule ukuthi awukwazi ukuthatha izithombe zangaphakathi kwemboni, ngicabanga ukuthi kungenxa yemfihlo yobuchwepheshe.
- Suka endleleni eshayiwe bese uzama sondela emadolobheni angomakhelwane, lapho kuhlala khona abasebenzi yamasimu etiye. Kuyathakazelisa ukubona indlela abahlala kuyo abantu basemakhaya ngokuphelele. Izinkampani zetiye zakha izikole ngisho nezibhedlela ezincane kula madolobha.
- Vakashela eHaputale. Yize ingeyinhle kakhulu, ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele ubone leli dolobha, elibaluleke kakhulu endaweni. Abantu abanokubilisa okuningi, abantu, umsindo nezimoto; yebo, izitolo zetiye yonke indawo.
Mina uqobo ngivakashele amasimu nezinkampani ezintathu zetiye: iLipton, iPedro Tea State neyasendaweni. Bengifuna ukuba nombono womhlaba wonke ngenkampani enesilinganiso esimaphakathi nencane. Enkampanini yendawo angikwazanga ukuvakashela ifektri, bekukhona nesiteleka, kepha amasimu abo abekhona. IPedro Tea State, eNuwara Eliya nayo ithumela emhlabeni wonke kepha ngaphandle kokuba yiLipton.
Njalo uhambo oluya eSri Lanka kumele lubandakanye uhambo lwesitimela lwengxenye yezintaba yesiqhingi nokuvakashela indawo etshalwe itiye. Isihlalo sikaLipton siyisibonelo esihle sokutshala nezwe, ngamafuphi, uhambo olunconyiwe oluyi-100%.
