Abashayeli bamatekisi abebengeneme bamashela ehhovisi likaNdunankulu wase-Western Cape u-Alan Winde.
Nokho uWinde ubagxekile osomatekisi ngokuvumela isiteleka ukuthi singagcini ngokudala ukuphazamiseka edolobheni kodwa basivumele sibe nodlame.
“Angijabule ngempela. Bekumele bangithinte ngocingo bathi, ‘singathanda ukuza sizokubona’. Ngike ngahlangana nabo ngaphambilini futhi bayafika bahlale ebhodini sixoxisane,” etshela i-CapeTalk.
Abadayisi abaningi ezindaweni ezithintekile bavale iminyango yabo usuku lonke njengoba abasebenzi bengakwazi ukuya emsebenzini.
