Siqhubeka ngesahluko sesihlanu. Ngeviki edluleyo sitshiye isigaba sonke sesibizelwe emazibukweni omfula uThuli umuntu wonke kwakubalulekile ukuthi ayezizwela ngezakhe indlebe. Kwakungasibutho elalilapho, laliyitshebetshebe lihlome liphelele umfula ukhazimula ngemibhobho kunyakaza ibhiza liyimpukane.
Kwakusobala ukuthi isimo sasingasihle. Ngokuphazima kwelihlo wasukuma umphathi webutho waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe ukuze abantu bonke baziswe lokho ababuthene ngakho. Kazange axhanxathe ulimi, wawabeka aba sobala amagama echaza ngelithi kunengi akade belokhu bekufihle emgodleni osekufike esikhathini sokuthi akusafihleki, uphondo seludabula umgodla.
Wayithi bhadla ethi ukuthula elizweni kwasekuphelile ngakho ukuphela kokuthula kutsho impi. Wakhuluma engathikazi ngelithi abantwana babaNsundu babehambe bayafundela ukubamba inkafulakufa bayifundela kubi ngoba ngayo babulala usana kanye lexhegu elidondolozelayo. Abamhlophe-ke bona babewufundele kuhle ngoba babekhetha okumele adutshulwe. Kwakungasonkulumo enhle kumbe encomekayo ngoba yonke yayichitha umphefumulo wesidalwa esingumuntu.
Wabuye njalo wagcizelela ngelithi isenzo sabantwana abansundu sasesidale ukuthi kubulawe yonke inzalo yonsundu ekhasayo lengakazalwa ibe yikudla kombhobho. Kukanti basevele sebephiwe imvumo yokucacada lonke uhlobo lomuntu onsundu.

Umphathisikolo wezwa kuhela lakuye wazama ukuncenga induna yomlungu ngelithi bekulani abantwana laba balobele ejele kulokufa ngesihluku esingaka. Wayetshaye edwalweni umphathisikolo.
