UMari Hari (uMargaret Gertrude Zelle) ngumdumi odumile, indlovukazikazi ye-burlesque, uphawu lwezesondo lwekhulu lemashumi amabini, inhloli kunye nomfazi obulalayo. Zonke ezi zibizo zithathwa ngumfazi oqhelekileyo ongafuni ukuhlala ebomvu, ukukhulisa abantwana kunye nefama, wayefuna ukuqashelwa, imali eninzi, izithandane ezithandekayo kwaye wakwazi ukunqoba iYurophu kunye nemidaniso yakhe engabonakaliyo ngelo xesha.
Ngoko, inkwenkwezi yexesha elizayo yazaliswa kwisiqhelo somsebenzi wesiqhelo sase-Dutch. Le ntombazana yayifunde kakuhle esikolweni, kodwa ukufundisisa kwakhe ixesha kwaphela kwenzalo. U-Mata wakhulela, ubomi kwintsapho yaqala ukumbandezela kwaye ukuxhathisa intsapho enyamekayo. Intombazana yanquma ukuzimela, isebenzisa indlela yokuqhawula umtshato (kwiphephandaba lafumanisa isimemezelo sokuba umphathi wombutho waseDutch, uRudolf McLeod, ufuna inkwenkwe yobomi kwaye sele sele ehamba ngo-1895 wamtshata eneminyaka eyi-18).
Umfazi omncinci nomyeni wakhe baya kwisiqithi seJava e-Indonesia (ngelo xesha isi siqithi saseNetherlands). Ekuqaleni, intombazana encinci yayithanda ubomi bentsapho, kodwa ngokukhawuleza yayidanekile nayo. Ngexesha lomtshato wakhe, uMate wathanda ukuhamba nomyeni wakhe ukuya kwiiphathi eziphathekayo kunye nokudansa phambi kwabaphulaphuli abahloniphekileyo, indoda yakhe, ngokwemvelo, ayithandanga kakhulu kwaye ngenxa yoko, isibini esasiqhawule umtshato ngo-1903.
Hari washiya umntwana wakhe kumyeni wakhe, kwaye ngaphandle kwemali kunye nemfundo waya kunqoba iParis. U-Mata wahlukanisa nomyeni wakhe, ngenxa yokuba wamxabela, wayela kwaye wayetyala zonke iingxaki zakhe.
I-Paris yekhulu lemashumi mabini yayithanda iMast kunye nayo yonke into edibene nayo. U-Adventurer Hari wenza isigqibo sokuba abe ngumdaniso, kuba ngexesha lomtshato wafunda imidaniso yase-Indonesian kwaye wayethanda. Emva kokubukela inombolo yomdaniso kaIsadora Duncan, owayengumdumi ongekho ngaphantsi kwexesha, uHar wenza isigqibo sokuba ngokwakhe uza kwenza izidlo zesonka.
Kwiminyaka emibini wahlawulwa yi-beau globe yaseParis. Ngeengcamango zakhe wahamba kwiindawo zokudlala ezona zilungileyo kwiYurophu. Ukusebenza kwakhe kwaqala ngokudansa, kwaye kugqitywe nge-striptease, ngoko akumangalisi ukuba kumazwe aseYurophu akhonkqisayo ayenomdla kakhulu, kuba abambalwa beedlalisi babesetyenziswe kwisigaba.
U-Mata wayengumfazi onengqiqo, kuba ngaphambi kokuba aqale ukuthetha, waqamba isidlaliso esiqhaqhaqhaqisayo, waqhekeka amahlebezi amangalisa ngaye ngokwakhe, kwaye wacinga ukuyila kwinqanaba kunye neengubo azenzileyo. Hari wayenobuncinane besifuba, ngoko ke ngexesha lokusebenza akazange amthintele, kodwa wamfihla phantsi kweempahla.
Mata Hari wayebathanda amadoda, kwaye bamnqula. Utshintshile abathandi beiglavu, wabuzwa ngezipho ezazifanele ukufumana inzuzo, ngenxa yokuba babhubha, kodwa wayengenomdla kuba wayethanda iintlobo zabantu. U-Hari evulekileyo wathatha imali kumadoda ngenxa yeenkonzo zakhe ezintle. Kamva, kwilingo lobugqwetha, wavuma ukuba wayengummeli ohlawuleka kakhulu, kodwa akayiyo inhloli.
Amadoda asisityebi abanomdla njengabazingeli banomdla kwiinqanaba, kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi, lo mfazi ngokwakhe wayekhangela oomnxeba nomntu owayemthandayo kwaye ubuhlobo buye bukhula kuphela ngohlobo lwakhe. Uluhlu lwabathandani bakhe luquka lonke i-French elite, kunye nabaninzi bamabhanki kunye namazwe angaphandle.
Mata Hari yindoda ebiza kakhulu neyayifuna emva kwayo, nangona ede kumgama weempawu zexesha lakhe. Njengoko sibona, akazange alahleke amadoda awambuza ngemali kunye nezipho, kodwa wayemthanda ukuhlala kumakhadi okunethezeka kunye nokudlala, ngoko nangona wayenayo imali eninzi, wayehlala elahlekile kwaye eboleka, ngoko le ntokazi yayisoloko isesha imali.
Ngethuba leMfazwe Yehlabathi yokuqala, wayesebenza njengamaqhawe (ukususela ngexesha lokulwa awakwazi ukunika ingxelo kwaye umsebenzi wakhe wokudansa waphela, kodwa la madoda aqhubeka enomdla kulo mfazi), wakwazi ukusebenza ngokukhawuleza ukuba ahlonishwe ezimbini (isiFrentshi kunye nesiJamani). Xa iMfazwe Yehlabathi yokuqala yaqala, uMata Hari wayetyelele ngeJamani kwaye akazange akwazi ukubuyela eParis. Lapha wabona ukuba akanakukwazi ukufumana imibhozo kwaye waqala ukujonga ezinye iindlela zokufumana. Ngeli xesha, u-Hari ubuye wavuselela ubudlelwane kunye nomntu owayengumngcwaba omdala waseRussia, uVadim Maslov, walwa neFransi. Umdaniso wuleza wagqiba ukutyelela uMaslov, owayelele ekhuselekile esibhedlele, kodwa ukuba ambone, wayefuna impasipoti yempi ekhutshwe yi-French intelligence.
Inkcazelo yaseFransi isoloko isikhankanya ukuba lo mfazi wesibindi kunye nepasiti ekhutshweyo yalandelwa ukuhlolwa. Nangona kunjalo, uMat akazange abonakale e-espionage kwaye izikhulu zengqondo zaseFransi zammema lo mfazi ukuba adle, apho wayecelwa ukuba aqale imisebenzi yezobuqili eFrance. U-Hari wavuma waza wacela iinkonzo zakhe iigrits ezigidi, kodwa wanikezelwa ngamawaka angama-25 kuphela kwi-ejenti nganye yeJamani eFransi.
I-Mata izandla phezu kwelinye inhloli kwaye ngokukhawuleza isuka eMadrid. ISpeyin ngelo xesha yayingathathi hlangothi kwaye amazwe amaninzi ayeqhuba imisebenzi yazo yobukhosi. Engazange ayifumane imigaqo ecacileyo evela kwi-German okanye isiFrentshi, waqala ngokukodwa ukuba anike ulwazi olufihlakeleyo kumazwe amabini, wamkela kwiintando zakhe eziphezulu zaseSpanish, ezaziwayo, zaziwa ngamacala amabini aphikisanayo.
Ukuxhatshazwa komsebenzi wakhe wobuqili eMadrid kwakukuba amaJamani kunye namaFrentshi amnika ngokucacileyo ulwazi olusele lwaziwa kuwo wonke umntu. Ngenxa yoko, zombini amaJamani kunye namaFrentshi aqala ukukhangela indlela yokulahla inhloli engenamsebenzi.
Ebusika ka-1917 uMatha Hari ubuyela eParis, kodwa ke ubanjwa kwaye uqala ukugweba, ukumangalela ukuhlola intshaba yaseJamani. Ekuqaleni akavumelani nento yokuba uhlawuliswa, kodwa kamva wamukelwa ukuba wayekhe wathatha imali kwi-spy yaseJamani, ephikisana ukuba wayengenayo okwaneleyo ubomvu.
Umshicileli waseFransi, owawusetyenziselwa ukuxubusha udansa, waqalisa ukuxuba igama kunye nococa kumaphepha amaphephandaba. Inkundla yamgweba u-Mata Hari isigwebo, kwaye akukho namnye amagosa aphezulu awamthanda. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba nzima kangakanani umlingani wakhe-lover, u-Hari akazange axolelwe. Ngaphambi kokufa kwakhe, wabhalela umyeni wakhe nentombi yakhe iileta ezimbini, kodwa abazange bazifinyelele, kwaye zonke iincwadi zakhe zithunyelwa kwi-archives archive. Oktobha 15, wadutshulwa. Umzimba womdanso awuceliwe ngaliphi na izihlobo zakhe, ngoko kwixesha elizayo lalisetyenziselwa iinjongo ze-anatomical.
Emva kokufa kwakhe iminyaka engaphezu kweyishumi, iingxabano malunga nokuba ngaba ngokwenene wayeyi-spy ayizange iphile kwaye kwaba ngasekupheleni kwe-1930 ukuba i-Intelligence yaseJamani yamemezela ngokusemthethweni ukuba uMata Hari wayeqeshwe ngo-1915 waza wafumana uqeqesho olufutshane olufanelekileyo. Kuye kwavela ukuba yena wakhonza ngokubambisana ngokuphindwe kabini kwaye waba lixhoba le midlalo yobukhosi bamagunya amakhulu amabini, kuba idatha ayifumene yayingenani elincinci.
