“Umhlobo wenkomo lezi wasungulwa kulelizwe ngakho zinkomo ezingadedesiyo njalo azihlaselwa yimikhuhlane nje engahlasela eminye imihlobo evela phandle kwelizwe.
“Esinye isizatho esenza sikhuthaze abalimi ukuthi bafuye lezi inkomo yikuthi ukufuywa kwazo kwasungulwa kwelakithi. Zijayele umumo womkhathi wakuleli ngakho ke azihlaselwa yimikhuhlane.
“Inyama idingwa kakhulu ngabantu abanengi kugoqela labaphandle kwelizwe,” kutsho uMnu Muzunde.
