“Okubuhlungu ukuthi ingane idlwengulwe ngaphandle kwesikole sayo. Intombazanyana ithi ingakafiki esikoleni yabona ukuthi isilahle umshini wayo wokubala.
“Kuthe uma ephenduka ebheka umshini wokubala, wabona umfundisi ebamba umakhalekhukhwini wakhe.
Ngenkathi ecela uPakade ukuthi abuyisele umshini wakhe wokubala wathi ‘Ngena emotweni’ kwathi lapho esengene emotweni, umshayeli washayela ngesivinini waqonda ehlathini eliseduze.
Isisulu umzukulu kaMfundisi uSabatha Fikeni oyilungu elihlonishwayo lomphakathi wase-Mount Ayliff.
