Intaba
Intaba iyingxenye yobuso bomzulane ephakeme kakhulu, ngokuvamile inamacala ayimimango agangalaze izindonga namadwala. Intaba ivame ukuhlukaniswa kunegquma, futhi ithathwa njengenesiqongo esiphakeme kunesegquma. Impakamo eyamukelwe yileyo yamamitha angama-300 ngaphezu kwendawo ezungezile, namamitha angama-610 ngaphezu kwenzalasha yolwandle. Izintaba zingaba nesiqongo noma zibe nocengece oluncane nempakama ephezulu nemimango emaceleni. Zimbalwa ezineziqongo eziqhingiwe, iningi lazo zitholakala ezintabeni eziwundi.
Izintaba zakhiwa ngeziphoqi zokuzabazaba, ukuguguleka kwemvuthuluka noma ukuqhuma kwezintabamlilo, futhi kuphela iminyaka eminingi ngaphambi kokuthi intaba ibe khona. Lapho ukwakheka kwentaba kupheza, izintaba zizoqala ukubhekana nomdludlungu wokuzulenza olusilili, ngokukhininindeleka nezinye izinhlobo zokudleka kwazo, kanye nokugugulwa imifula nangamaqeqeba.
Izimpakama eziphezulu zezintaba zibanga isimo sezulu samakhaza ukwedlula izindawo ezikunzalasha yolwandle. Lezi zimo zezulu zikhinyabeza impilandawonye yezintaba: ehlanganisa izitshalo nezilwane ezihlukile kuye ngokuphakama kwentaba. Izintaba okunzima ukuba kumile bona kuhlale izilwane kuzo, zisetshenziselwa ukuvukuza izimbiwa noma zisetshenziselwe ezokuzilibazisa njengokuqwala intaba, Uma ineqhwa ukushesheleza phezu kwalo.
Intaba ephakeme kunezinye eMhlabeni ibizwa ngentaba i-Everest, e-Ashiya, futhi iphakeme ngamamitha ayizi-8,850 phezu kwenzalasha yolwandle.
uMlando
[hlela | Hlela umthombo]Ngokuya ngosolwazi noma ososayenzi bemvelo bathi izintaba zadalwa yizintabamlilo ezenzeka uma kuqubuka okusatshe noma okusamdoko kuphuma emathunjini omhlaba kuphumele ngaphandle, bese ngemva kokuthi kome kuphenduke inhlabathi namatshe. Ngokwenkolo intaba yadalwa nguNkulunkulu, lapho uMvelinqangi ahlala khona, axhumana khona nomuntu. Kungakho intaba kuyinto eligugu kubantu abamnyama. Intaba ibaluleke kakhulu kubantu ngoba uma uphezu kwentaba uyakwazi ukubona yonke into ephansi, kanti emandulo intaba yayisetshenziselwa ukuqapha izitha ezingase zihlasele isizwe. Yingakho izinhloli zazihlala entabeni ukuqapha noma ukuvikela isizwe. Izintaba kunezintaba ezingamagugu, esizweni samaZulu, njengentaba yaseSandlwana, eMajuba eKhongela,izintaba zoKhahlamba. Ziningi izimpi ezaliwa lapho, angeke uwuqede umlando wamaZulu uma ungakhulumanga ngezintaba. Ngisho nasebhayibhelini ikhona intaba eyayibizwa ngkuthi yintaba yaseSinayi lapho uMoses ahlangana khona noNkulunkulu. U-Abrahama naye wahlangana noThixo entabeni, uma uMoses wasebhayibhelini wayehlangana noNkulunkulu ngasentabeni. Amasonto amaningi athatha intaba njengendawo engcwele, yingakho amasonto amaningi abekwe ezintabeni ezithize. Zikhona nje izintaba ezingamagugu ezizweni eziningi, isibonelo isizwe samaZulu, sinezintaba ezingamagugu njengezintaba Zokhahlamba, iMajuba nezinye izintaba. Kanti nesizwe samaNdebele naso sinazo izintaba ezingamagugu njengoMadlayi (intaba kayikhonjwa),uWuba noMhlopheni,iMkobola nezinye iintaba ezinomlando wesizwe.
