Akekho onesithakazelo esitokisini esinentengo ephansi, kodwa izindwangu ezintsha ezimpunga ziyaphangwa uma zingekho emshinini! Ukungabi namandla kukaLuki: sizosulwa nini isitokisi?

Ngemva kwesizini enzima nende yokuphumula, imakethe yaqala isizini yendabuko yesikhathi esiphezulu i-“Golden Nine”, futhi isidingo sagcina sibuyele esimweni saso. Kodwa isimo sangempela asibonakali sinjalo. Imikhiqizo evamile efana ne-pongee, i-polyester taffeta, ukuphotha i-nylon, kanye ne-silk yokufanisa isebuthakathaka, futhi isimo sokuthengisa izimpahla sisakhona.

Eqinisweni, yize imakethe isingene esikhathini esivamile sokuphakama, isidingo siyakhula ngempela, kodwa imakethe ngoSepthemba ibonakala yehlile uma kuqhathaniswa no-Agasti. Kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti, isidingo semakethe siqhubeke nokuthuthuka, imikhiqizo enwebekayo iqhumise imakethe, futhi ukufika kwezimpahla zemakethe konke kuchaze ukubuyiselwa kwemakethe.

Kodwa-ke, ekupheleni kuka-Agasti nasekuqaleni kukaSepthemba, lo mfutho wawungaqinile ngokwanele ukuqhubekela phambili, futhi wehla kancane. Ngokusho kwemibiko evela kwezinye izimboni zokudaya, inani lamarisidi empahla yokugcina impahla ngoSepthemba lehle cishe nge-1/3 uma kuqhathaniswa no-Agasti, lishintsha kusukela ekuxineni nasekuxakekeni laya ekungenzini lutho. Ama-oda abahwebi ayengalindelekile. Iningi lama-oda ngoSepthemba alizange liqale, futhi kwakungekho amasampula amaningi. Ubuthakathaka bemakethe, kwezinye izinkampani zokuthunga, ukuthuthukiswa kwenani lempahla kuncane, ukusilela kwempahla kuyikhanda elibuhlungu kakhulu, futhi ukuthengiswa nakho kuyindlela yokugcina.

Ngempela kunezinhlobo eziningi zama-oda emakethe, futhi ama-oda angamashumi ezinkulungwane namakhulu ezinkulungwane zamamitha aseyinto evamile. Kodwa uma utadisha i-oda ngalinye ngokucophelela, uzothola ukuthi iningi lama-oda amanje enziwa yifektri yokuthunga. Konke kuyimikhiqizo emisha engatholakali nhlobo emakethe noma izindwangu ezincane ezingenayo impahla, futhi eminye imikhiqizo enamasheya amakhulu emakethe evamile ibonakala inganakwa futhi iqedwa yimakethe yezindwangu nezingubo.

"Asizange sithole ama-oda angaphezu kwamamitha ayi-100,000 kusukela ekuqaleni kwalonyaka kuze kube ngu-Agasti, kodwa muva nje imakethe yezohwebo lwangaphandle ithuthukile. Omunye wamakhasimende ethu ezohwebo lwangaphandle ufake ama-oda angaphezu kwamamitha angu-400,000 obubanzi obunezindlela ezine. Kodwa le ndwangu ayitholakali emakethe. Sidinga ukuthola ifektri yokweluka ukuze siluke. Ngenxa yokuthi inani likhulu kakhulu futhi isikhathi sokulethwa sincane kakhulu, sithole izimboni ezintathu zokweluka ukuze zibambe izimpahla ngesikhathi."

"Amanani ethu emakethe ngenyanga edlule abengemahle nhlobo, kodwa ama-oda aqale ukwehla ngokulandelana kusukela kule nyanga. Kodwa lawa ma-oda empeleni awawona imikhiqizo evamile, futhi singathola kuphela ezinye izimboni zokuthunga esizozi-oda."

"Manje sesenza indwangu yokwelula i-polyester, inani layo lingamamitha ayi-10,000. Ibiza ngaphezu kwama-yuan ayi-15 ngemitha yendwangu empunga, futhi sidinga ukuyiluka."

Inani lempahla kanye nesimo sokuthengisa kwezindwangu ezimpunga zencazelo ngayinye kuhlukile. Ngaphezu kwesidingo semakethe kanye nezici zokukhiqiza zasefektri, zithinteka futhi ukudideka kwamanani kwamanje emakethe yezindwangu ezimpunga. Thatha i-taffeta ye-polyester engu-190T njengesibonelo. Njengamanje, intengo yezindwangu ezimpunga ezingu-72g kanye no-78g emakethe iyafana. Eminyakeni edlule, umehluko wentengo phakathi kwalezi ezimbili kufanele ube yi-0.1 yuan/imitha.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, inani elikhulu lemikhiqizo yesitokwe emakethe alikwazi ukuthengiswa, okusho ukuthi le mikhiqizo ilahlekelwe yisidingo semakethe futhi “ayisathandwa” yimakethe. Ngenkathi intshisekelo yohlangothi lwesidingo olungezansi ezindwangu ezithile ezimpunga yehlile, futhi kungukwanda kwesithakazelo kwezinye izigaba. Kuthiwa ama-oda endwangu avamile adluliselwe kwezinye izindwangu ezingavamile, noma izindwangu ezingalukwa futhi zenziwe ngokwezifiso.

Kungashiwo ukuthi isidingo samanje semakethe singase siqede ezinye izindwangu ezimpunga, futhi ngisho nezinkampani zokuluka ezithembele kulezi zindwangu ezimpunga ukuze ziziphilise nazo zingasuswa! Ngakho-ke, esikhathini sangemva kobhubhane, indlela yokuhambisana nesidingo semakethe nokufeza imbuyiselo eguquguqukayo nesheshayo kuyisilingo esibhekene nazo zonke izinkampani zokuluka.
