Rhoqo ngonyaka, iiveki ezimbini, iGeneva iziguqula ibe likomkhulu lehlabathi leemoto. Funda ngembali yesi siganeko kwimigca elandelayo.
Ukusukela ngo-1905, iGeneva ibe sisixeko esikhethelwe ukusingatha uhlobo lweChampions League enamavili amane: iGeneva Motor Show. Ezona moto zikhethekileyo, iindaba eziphambili, iimpawu ezibalulekileyo kunye nabantu abaqhuba ishishini bakhona bonke. Kunjalo minyaka le, kwaye iya kuqhubeka injalo lo gama nje uxolo lwehlabathi luvumela - ndikhumbula ukuba isiganeko saphazamiseka kuphela ngexesha leemfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi.
Isihloko esithi "i-salon egqwesileyo kwihlabathi" ayisosihloko esicacileyo, kodwa esicacileyo. Eyona ndawo ilungileyo nelindelwe kakhulu yehlabathi ihlala isenzeka eSwitzerland kwaye ngesigqibo sombutho oluhlobo lweFIFA kubenzi beemoto, iOICA: Organisation Internationale des Constructors d'Automobiles. IFrankfurt, eParis, eDetroit, eTokyo, eNew York, akukho nasinye kwezi zixeko ezinokubeka "umboniso" njengalowo sinokuwufumana kule mihla eGeneva.
Kwaye kutheni eGeneva? Kwaye hayi iLisbon okanye… Beja! Ukuqonda olu khetho kufuneka siye kwiincwadi zembali (okanye i-intanethi…). Nangona abantu baseBejão benoxolo kakhulu kwaye bamkela abantu kwaye iLisbon sisixeko esihle kakhulu nesinomoya wokubuk' iindwendwe, akukho namnye kubo ongathathi hlangothi. Kwaye iSwitzerland.
ISwitzerland ibe lilizwe elingathathi hlangothi ukususela ngo-1815. Ngokutsho kwe-Wikipedia, ilizwe elingathathi hlangothi lingathathi hlangothi kwingxabano kwaye "ngokubuyisela ithemba ukuba aliyi kuhlaselwa nayiphi na". Yiyo loo nto, olona ngquzulwano lukhulu ehlabathini lusonjululwe eSwitzerland, ilizwe elibambe i-UN kunye nemibutho yehlabathi emininzi.
Enyanisweni, xa kuziwa kwiimoto, iSwitzerland ayinakungathathi hlangothi. Abakhi abakhulu ngokubanzi bangamaJamani, amaTaliyane, aseMelika, amaFrentshi, isiNgesi okanye isiJapan. Ke ngoko, umlinganiselo wamandla phakathi kwala magunya eemoto awunakuba kumazwe aphuma kuwo, ukuthintela ukukhetha. Kwavunyelwana ukuba eyona ndawo “yedabi lezibane nobukhazikhazi” kumavili amane kufuneka ibe seSwitzerland.” Kwaye kube njalo kwiintlelo ezingama-85.
Ukuba unalo ixesha, ndiyakukhumbuza ukuba iGeneva Motor Show iza kuvulelwa uluntu kude kube ngumhla weshumi elinesihlanu kule nyanga. UDiogo Teixeira wethu wayekho, kwaye kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo uya kusibonisa yonke into eyenzekayo apho.
