Isifuyo esesihlaselwe ngumkhuhlane lo asithengiseli njalo sinika umlimi umsebenzi ngoba kuyabe kumele sihlale sikhangelwe njalo kumele sehlukaniswe lezinye izifuyo.
“Inkomo elomkhuhlane lo ibonakala ngokugxoza kwendenda enyamazaneni lokuba enkomeni ungabangela ukuba yehle isisindo, ukuvuvuka kwamaphambili enkomeni ezinduna kukanti ungahlasela inkomo zochago ungabangela ukwehla kwenani lochago,” kugcizelela uDkt Sibanda.
