UFikile Maphosa, oneminyaka engu-56, uthenga ipharafini kabili ngesonto ukuphekela izingane ezintathu KwaMkhancwa, kodwa akwanele.
Umnikazi wesitolo sespaza uNgcobo Nkosikhona uyeke ukugcwalisa ipharafini KwaMkhancwa futhi akaqiniseki ukuthi intengo eshibhile izohlala isikhathi eside.
Ipharafini yehle ngo-R6.97 ilitha ngoNtulikazi, okuwukwehla okukhulu kwentengo kaphethiloli kule nyanga. KwaMkhancwa, indawo yokuhlala engahlelekile eBrakpan, lokho akusho ukuthi upharafini uzoba ngaphezulu lapha.
