Khona nje eduze komuzi okwenzeke kuwona isigameko kunomuzi onejoyinti elithengisa bona utshwala futhi kuthengiswa utshwala bokuzenzela. Ziyakhathaza izigameko zalolu hlobo. Nginethemba lokuthi ingalo yomthetho izosondela emphakathini izosichazela ukuthi udedelwe ngaphansi kwamiphi imibandela umsolwa.
