Nganoma yiluphi usuku, amaqembu abesifazane angena ezihlahleni eziseduze eyofuna izinambuzane ezinambithekayo, bagcwalise amasaka abo ngokwanele bona nezihlobo zabo.
URendani Madadzhe wase-Sibasa, e-Thohoyandou, ongumama wezingane ezimbili uthe, izingane zakhe azilali zingadlile futhi wenza inzuzo ngokudayisa izikhonyane.
“Kulokhu okuncane esikuthola kwizibonelelo zezingane sikwazi ukuthenga izidingo eziyisisekelo kuphela ezifana nempuphu kanye nensipho. Inyama iyabiza,” kusho yena.
Uthe, basebenzisa amathoshi kanti futhi nezinsuku azifani ngoba kwesinye isikhathi bagcwalisa amakhilogremu afinyelela kwayisihlanu anele ukondla umndeni wakhe nokuwadayisa.
Isikhonyane besilokhu siwukudla okuyisisekelo emiphakathini eminingi yasemakhaya e-Limpopo kodwa sanyamalala selokhu kwafika amadolobha.
Kulula ukuzipheka njengoba zomiswa, zigcinwa entuthwini noma zithoswe.
