Amaphuzu Abalulekile
- Indlu ka-Kdu dos Anjos incane ngosayizi, kodwa iwine umklomelo omkhulu.
- Yaklanywa iqoqo lezakhiwo ze-Levante futhi yakhelwe ngaphansi kuka-$50,000.
- Ikhaya eliwine izindondo lise-Brazil ephithizelayo i-Aglomerado da Serra favela.
Uma uthi nhlá nje, yindlu efana nenqwaba yabanye abantu abaphithizelayo . Kodwa le ndawo yokuhlala ebonakala inesizotha engamamitha-skwele angama-66, nezindonga zayo zezitini eziveziwe, isanda kuqashelwa “njengendlu yonyaka” emqhudelwaneni womhlaba wonke wezokwakha.
Indlu ehlonishwe ngewebhusayithi yezokwakha i-ArchDaily eka-Kdu dos Anjos, iciko elineminyaka engu-32 ubudala elihlala e-Aglomerado da Serra favela ephithizelayo, ezansi negquma emaphethelweni edolobha eliseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Belo Horizonte.
Isakhiwo esinezitezi ezimbili sehlule eminye imincintiswano ephume phambili evela eNdiya, Mexico, Vietnam naseJalimane.
“Ngiziqhenya kakhulu ngokuthi indlu yami iwine lo mklomelo, ngoba izindaba eziningi mayelana nama-favelas zikhuluma ngodlame nemizi ecekelwe phansi ngenxa yokubihlika kwenhlabathi,” kusho uMnu dos Anjos.
“Namuhla, ikhaya lami liphezu komhlaba!”
‘Umlingo omsulwa’
Indlu, eyakhiwe endaweni encane uMnu dos Anjos ayithenge ngo-2017, inomoya omuhle futhi ijabulela ukukhanya kwemvelo okuchichimayo; inamafasitela e-casement avundlile kanye nethala elikhulu.
“Umklamo wendlu umelela imodeli eyakhayo esebenzisa izinto ezivamile emijondolo, nokuqaliswa okwanele nokunaka ukukhanya nokungenisa umoya, okuholela endaweni enekhwalithi enkulu yemvelo,” kubhala i-ArchDaily kuwebhusayithi yayo.
KuMnuz dos Anjos, owasungula isikhungo samasiko emphakathini wakubo, umklomelo unokubaluleka okukhethekile.
“Ngiyazi ukuthi umuzi wami akuwona owenhle kunazo zonke emhlabeni, kodwa wumjondolo owakhiwe kahle,” esho ehleka.
UMnu dos Anjos usehlale lapho kusukela ngo-2020, kanye nezinja ezimbili, ikati nezitshalo ezingaphezu kuka-60.
“Okwenziwa ngabadwebi bezakhiwo kuwumlingo omsulwa,” esho. “Asikabi nawo ama-square metres angama-66, kodwa ngibe namaphathi lapha anabantu abacela ku-200.”
Iphupho lasebuntwaneni lafezeka
Idizayini bekungumsebenzi weqoqo lezakhiwo ze-Levante, elenza i-pro-bono noma umsebenzi obiza kancane kuma-favelas.
Ngaphandle, indlu ifana nomakhelwane bayo, kodwa ihlanganisa izici ezimbalwa eziyenza iqine futhi ihloniphe indawo ezungezile, ikakhulukazi “ekunakani kwayo ukukhanya nokungena komoya,” kusho umdwebi wezakhiwo uFernando Maculan, umholi wephrojekthi.
Umehluko owodwa obonakalayo ngezindlu eziseduze kusekuhlelweni kwezitini, ezibekwe zivundlile – hhayi zibheke phezulu – futhi emigqeni enyakazayo, enezela ukuqina futhi ithuthukise ukwahlukanisa.
Lo msebenzi wathatha izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili – nomsebenzi omningi.
“Ababazi bebethukuthele ngoba becabanga ukuthi ukubeka izitini ngale ndlela kudla isikhathi,” kusho uMnu Maculan.
“Futhi sibe nenkinga enkulu yokwenyusa izitebhisi – yindlu yokugcina emhumeni, futhi kwadingeka ngikhokhele izisebenzi ezizithwele kakhulu,” esho.
Imigwaqo emincane, esontekile ku-favela inzima ukuthi izimoto zihambe ngayo.

Wonke umsebenzi ubize ama-reais angu-150,000 (amaRandi angu-43,000), futhi ukutshalwa kwezimali kukhokhwe ngezindlela ezingaphezu kweyodwa: Akugcinanga ngokuthi umklomelo wezokwakha ulethe ukuqashelwa kwamazwe ngamazwe, indlu isize uMnu dos Anjos ukuba afeze iphupho lobuntwana.
“Ngesikhathi ngisengumfanyana, ngangihlala endlini enesizotha, engenawo ama-vastile. Ngaze ngatinyelwa wufezela – nodadewethu walimala,” esho.
“Ukuwina lo mklomelo ngemuva kokuhlushwa yizinkinga ezihlobene nezakhiwo kumela ukunqoba okukhulu kimina.”
